Haul: Sephora, NYX, Victoria's Secret

I picked up a great little assortment of items over the last week -

Sephora:

I wanted to try out the Nars Sheer Glow foundation (review to follow) so I went to Sephora and they had just come out with their March Beauty Insiders perks. I instantly fell in love with the Sephora + Pantone Universe Mini Liquid Liner in this beautiful emerald color. They had a whole range of products in this series, from nail paints to even eyeshadows I think but I really wanted to get the liner. The full size product comes with a set of four liners including a glitter one and to be honest I wish Sephora had given the whole set as the Beauty Insiders 100-point perk because its only for $18 which is a fair deal for having spent $100 for those points. But I rarely find anything worth picking up in the Beauty Insiders Perks anyway so I didn't mind spending my points on this. I'm very pleased with the product, the brush glides on smoothly and the color is gorgeous!

I also picked up this nail paint duo in Orange. I thought the packaging was really neat and I had been wanting to get a fine golden shimmer top coat. The orange is also really nice for summer. It says the nail polish is supposed to be scented but I didn't get any scent other than the normal acetone smell. In fact I think whatever scent they were trying to add only makes the acetone smell more prominent. But other than its a really cute product.

NYX: 

I saw some NYX products at my local grocery store and I couldn't resist picking up their cream blush in Hot Pink. The color payoff is really really good and the staying power is great as well. I've been wanting to try out a cream blush for a while and am really glad I found this.
I also got a roll on shimmer stick in Taupe that I think will be beautiful on a neutral eyeshadow or to accentuate a smoky eye.

Victoria's Secret:

Last but not least I picked up some nail paints from Victoria's Secret. I have really grown to love VS makeup products over the last few years because you can get to try out the products that they use on their models and the quality is really good. I was looking for an orange lipstick but my local VS store did not have a good make up section so I didn't find one. But I did run across their nail paints that were 2 for $15 (or $10 each). The packaging is really chic with these rectangular bottles and I am very happy with how quickly it dried and how long it lasts. I have had no chipped nails and I didn't even use a top coat. The two colors I got are Backstage which is a glittery pink and Steal the Show which is a rose gold/pink copperish shimmer color.
