End of Summer 2013 - Beauty Haul

I haven't been hauling as much as I used to now. Trying to have some more self control on spending and not splurge just because it's a good deal or there's a gift with purchase. You will notice that this haul post is filled with products that are new on the market and intrigued me enough to buy.

Shiseido Benefique Haul

Shiseido has a new line of skincare, Benefique. This line launched in US earlier in the year and is only available at Shiseido boutiques (no department store counters). Don't confused this with the other Shiseido line Ibuki that also just launched this year which IS available at department store counters and Sephora. I bought the Benefique NT Emulsion II (150mL) which is a lotion for dry/combination skin types for $45. Review coming soon!

Benefique samples

The sales rep at the boutique was kind enough to give me a bunch of Benefique deluxe samples including their Mineral Gommage which is a clay mask, 2 Benefique NT Lotion (which is really their toner) and a deluxe sample size of the White Lucent Eye Cream which I've tried before. I wanted to try a different eye cream for my dark circles but the sales rep ensure me that the White Lucent eye cream is the best in the market to target dark circles and wanted me to give it another try.

Sephora Haul with Urban Decay & Too Faced products

Then there's my Sephora haul, I just couldn't resist knowing that Ebates was offering 8% cashback (my referral link) ! I've been wanting to try the Too Faced La Creme Lip Creams and was psyched when Sephora had special value set on them. It comes with 2 full size lip creams, a lip pencil, and their Lip Insurance, a $74 retail value, all for $34! So to make up for free shipping, I decided to pick up another Urban Decay Urban Ammo Palette for $10 (sold out at Sephora, still available here) and a cute Hello Kitty Bow compact mirror in Giraffe print for $5.

And with my purchase, I used a coupon code to pick up the ColorIQ VIB sample bag that included a few deluxe size samples including the Make Up For Ever HD loose powder. Always check for coupon codes and get cashback from Ebates or BigCrumbs (my referral links)!

Missha Haul with their new CC BB Cream 

I haven't hauled Missha for a while but I couldn't resist when I saw that they have a new CC cream out! Of course it was a little misleading, it's not exactly a CC cream. Missha launched their new Complexion Coordinating BB Cream, available in 2 colors and retails for $35. Swatches and review coming soon.

I picked up a new blush (which really reminds me of the Shu Uemura blushes especially the packaging), some cotton pads and a lip brush! I've been looking for a lip brush to use with my broken Glossybox lipstick and finally found affordable one at $3.

That's it for my beauty hauls. I'm so ready for the Holiday hauls, so many holiday collections and gifts with purchases out right now. Anybody interested in seeing a End of Summer 2013 Fashion Haul? I've been getting a lot of goodies! Think #philliplimfortarget =D
