Haul: Right Before Christmas

I can't believe there's still snow on the ground here, I love it! Don't love the ice so much, but when it snows in the South you have to appreciate it all since we definitely don't get 8 inches of snow that sticks around that often. Unfortunately, the snow we had moved up to the Northeast and dumped down...But hey, at least you all have the equipment to deal with it, when it snows like it did here the whole area shuts down!

So, if you follow me on Twitter (@theangrykimchi) then you probably saw a picture of a few items I picked up from Ulta right before Christmas. Wasn't much but I wanted to share, except the CoverGirl Fusion Mascara, I think I've discussed that before.


I love EcoTools brushes. I own a few of their brushes and they have been very pleased with them. This time around I picked up the bronzer brush and a angled eyeliner brush.
 

From the picture below you can see how dense this brush is. As a personal opinion, it's too thick for a bronzer brush. I like a looser, fluffier powder brush for bronzing. I bought this one for foundation powder blending since I needed a new one. The EcoTools brushes I have already are great because they don't shed and are super soft, something that's very important for people like me with super sensitive skin. The bronzer brush goes for $11.99
 

The angled eyeliner brush ($4.99) I picked up to use as a sharper brow brush. My old Sonia Kashuk angled brush is a little old (like 8 years) so it's about time for a new one, right? I'll have to break this one in a little but I think it's going to work out well.
 

Since I picked up a new brow brush, I figured I needed a new brow powder which has lasted forever and still going strong. The same one I used before PurMinerals Brow Perfection. Unfortunately, they only offer one shade (What's up with that PurMinerals?), but luckily for me it's a good shade to enhance my brows withouth making them sketchy looking and painted on o_O. For $17 it comes with a wax (which I don't really use) and a powder. The back side opens with a tiny mirror and a small angled brow brush for on the go touch-ups.
 

And finally I picked up a new color in the Revlon ColorBurst line ($8.99 each). Pink Sugar is a semi-sheer peach pink with a little shimmer and a little sparkle.
 
 

It looks shimmery on my hand here, but you can see it's quite sheer.
 

On my lips you can pick up the micro-glitter, it takes a good bit of the product to really get the color across, but it is quite moisturizing and smooth. It's not gritty as some lipsticks with glitters can be. You'll have to carry this around if you want to wear this all day, once you start eating and drinking it will rub off pretty easy, but for the price of the Revlon lipsticks it's not bad. 
 

I wish I had more but being snowed in limits the visits to the store you're willing to safely make! LOL You can find EcoTools and Revlon Lipsticks at Walgreens and/or CVS and other drug stores and shopping centers, PurMinerals can be found at Ulta, ulta.com, or their site, purminerals.com. I'm really wanting to try the new ColorBurst Lip Glosses I've seen around lately! Going to search as soon as I can get on the roads (probably tomorrow). See ya next time!

NOTICE: All items seen above have been purchased by me and written about based on my personal experiences and opinions. I have not been paid to discuss or review any products seen.

Oooh, that's a really pretty color! Hm, might have to add that to the list.

I just picked up the Eco tools brush set, they feel really nice and soft and I can't wait to start using them.

I like the lipstick as well, the soft pink is very pretty.
