Trip to the States Haul

Back in April after Easter my family and I took a quick shopping trip to the states so I have decided to share my makeup haul from the trip with you guys.

Everything I bought in the States.

Sephora in JCPenny and Ulta

Haul from Sephora in JCPenny and Ulta.

As I mentioned in my Sephora haul the other day, I absolutely love the Sephora Favorites sets so of course I had to buy some. I noticed that JCPenny sells their own favorites sets that are not available on the Sephora app or website so definitely check out Sephora in JCPenny for some different sets! The first set I purchased was the Let Love Glow set for $42 valued at $145. This set includes a deluxe sample size of the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Sweet Cream, Fresh Soy Face Cleanser, Korres Wild Rose Brightening 24-Hour Moisturizer, L'Occitane Almond Delicious Hands, Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Eye Cream, Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, and Tocca Florence Mini Rollerball. It also includes a full sized Boscia Tsubaki Oil Deep Hydration Hydrogel Mask, Caudalie Beauty Elixir, Farmacy Lip Bloom in Strawberry Basil, and the Josie Maran Cosmetics Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Vanilla Apricot.

The second set I got was called Blushing Beauty and was $36 valued at $112. This set includes a deluxe sample of the BECCA Pressed Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal, NARS Blush in Orgasm, and the Tarte Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint in Obvi. It also included a full sized Bubble Beauty Blender, the Lancôme Définicils High Definition Mascara in Black, and the Urban Decay Iconic Eyeshadow in Scratch. Finally, the third set I purchased was the Sun Safety Kit for $26 valued at $106. This set includes only deluxe samples and no full sized products, but they are all higher end expensive products where even some of the smaller sampler are worth $6. These samples include; the Dr. Brandt Skincare Pores No More Multi-Performance Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 45, Fresh Sugar Nude Tinted Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15, Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47, Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion, Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 50, Shiseido Urban Environment UV Protection Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40, St. Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Body Lotion, Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50, and the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Medium/Deep.

Next at Ulta I first picked up the Animal Koala Hydrating Mask Sheet pretty well for the reason that I absolutely love koalas so I jumped at the chance for my face to look like one. I also bought the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream in Fair because I have heard so so many people talking about it and wanted to see what the hype was about and if it really is as good as people say it is. This is not available at Sephora in Canada and the IT Cosmetics website does not ship to Canada so this was my chance to get it to try it out! Finally, I bought two Spring Fling Products that were on clearance; the first was a set of three sponges for 99 cents and the second was an eyeshadow palette with 12 shadows also for only 99 cents. I think this palette will be perfect for travel since it is so small, the only downside on first appearance is that there is no mirror, but that is not a huge issue overall.

Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Burlington Coat Factory

Haul from Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Burlington Coat Factory.

First off I knew I had to buy the E.L.F. Hydrating Bubble Mask when I went to Target. Jessica Braun aka JamBeauty89 on YouTube has spoken about this mask a few times and with my mask addiction I knew I wanted to try this! Next at TJ Maxx I purchased the Boscia Green Tea Oil-Control Peel-Off Mask for only $10.99. Boscia is one of my favorite skincare brands and I already love their Charcoal and Sake peel-off masks so when I saw this I knew I had to get it. I also found a Tatcha skincare set for $29.99. Tatcha is an expensive brand that I have never been able to try before so to find this set I was so excited. This set includes their Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Serum, their Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder, their Supple Moisture Rich Silk Cream, and their Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil. Next I went to Marshalls and purchased the Luxe Beauty-Care Signature Dead Sea Spa Treatment Mask just because of my face mask addiction. Finally, at Burlington Coat Factory I also bought face masks. I bought the SpaLife Retinol Anti-Aging + Hydrating 3-Step Anti-Wrinkle Treatment, and this set interested me mostly because of the three steps involved (and the fact that it was another face mask for my collection :p).


That concludes my haul from the States, I definitely recommend looking in Marshalls and TJ Maxx to find some higher end products for great prices! Thank you all for viewing my post and I will have another one up for you all very soon!!
