B-day Haul - Illamasqua & Melie Bianco

A year older. Meh.

I've been eyeing this hobo bag from Melie Bianco for months.

I LOVE it!

Illamasqua!

Tweak & Excite Powder Blushes

Tweak - strawberry red

Excite - coral

Excite is one of my favorite Illamasqua's blush. 

Morale (not pictured) is another favorite.

Crush Cream Blusher & Thrust Powder Blusher

Crush - deep raspberry red

Thrust - magenta

Crush - deep raspberry red

Thrust - magenta

I officially have all the powder blushers of theirs that I wanted. 

I'm digging the cream blusher - may have to try a few other colors.

Lipstick in ESP

From their new Paranormal Line - Sephora doesn't even have these in stock yet.

It's described as vivid violet

I LOVE it!

Their new blush up brush. It's designed to tuck directly under cheekbone. What a huge difference! I've been wearing my blush wrong this entire time! I've been wearing it too low. It's pricey @ $40 but worth every penny if you are a blush addict like me. 

Wantable - Late February

This is technically my 3rd Wantable box but they have made some changes. Now, they are a monthly sub. You "personalize" your box by taking a quiz - marking things like lipstick or blush as a like love or dislike. You won't receive any of the items you dislike. It's $36 a month for the monthly sub or you can purchase one box for $40. You get 5 full size items. I recommend going month to month - you can cancel or skip at any time. They also have a monthly jewelry box - same price. You can sign up here 

I disliked brows, eyeliner, lashes, bronzer & eyeshadow.

I liked and loved blush, highlighter, lip, nail polish & brushes.

I wish this was a little darker. You can't even see it on my cheeks.

I may try to use as a highlighter.

 



Nymphette, Rendezous & Berries

I had some issues w/ this box. It was missing two items & the blush was broken. Wantable sent me replacements right away & threw in another polish for the hassle. They have the best customer service. 

Overall, I am digging this box.
