My first stop was Sephora to check out the new Amazonian Clay blushes from Tarte. These are said to control oil and last for 12 hours so they sounded like they were right up my alley. I went into the Sephora and made a beeline for the Tarte section and was kind of overwhelmed by the Amazonian Clay blushes because of all the beautiful colors...which were kind of similar to one another. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get Dollface or Amused because they were so similar and I was afraid Dollface would be too light. I ended up bringing both to the register and asking the cashier to just pick one for me. She ended up going with Amused which is a bright pink. I have to say I'm relieved that she did because it is unique to anything I have in my collection. I also picked up Tipsy because I am a sucker for coral blushes and this was the one I really had my eye on.

While wandering around trying to decide on blush I noticed that they had the Urban Decay Primer Potion in the new tube. I'm almost out of the little sample that came with the Naked Pallet and this is my favorite eye primer so I figured I'd pick it up because I am doing makeup for a wedding next month and this is much more sanitary and cost effective than the old genie bottle style.

After that it was on to Macy's to get a back up of my Origins Vitazing. I'm so happy I was turned on to this. It is my new favorite cosmetic item. I like that it doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything and just evens out my complexion without looking overdone. Granted, I still need a lot of concealer because of my acne scars but on the areas that don't need concealing, like my forehead and the middle of my face, it looks like I just have naturally radiant skin.

As I was walking back through Nordstrom with my boyfriend on my way to the car I realized that I had forgotten to buy my eye makeup remover. After a quick trip to the Clinique counter to pick up "Take the Day Off" we were on our way. I have used a lot of eye makeup removers in the past but I've found that this one does the best job of getting it all off. It also doesn't sting at all or cause me any breakouts but leaves my eye area feeling nourished but not greasy.

After I left the mall I stopped in at Target because I still had some time to kill and there was one on the way home. This particular Target happened to carry e.l.f. products so I immediately picked up the e.l.f. studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder. How is this thing only $3? The packaging itself is high enough quality to warrant a higher price tag let alone the amazing product inside of it. Seriously, $1.50 each for blush and bronzer!!! Anyway, in case you can't tell I'm really psyched to give this one a try. I'm hoping to buy a new brush belt from e.l.f. next month so hopefully the whole brand is as good as this duo.

Well that's it for my haul. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know if you've tried any of these items and what your thoughts are. I'd really like to know if all of the products by e.l.f. are as amazing as this one.
