The haul of my life.
No kidding.Never have gotten as much in such a short period of time
And I mean it!
Just went and kept getting whatever I wanted.No limits and strings attached!
However there is piece of advice - this is not a good example of how to spend your money...wisely.
Still hoping that everybody will like it

Sephora brushes nr 12,29 and 42 (rounded smudge,blending eye and flat blush)
Smashbox brushes nr 28 and 12 (flat for eyeliner and second is for brows)
Smashbox Photo finish - Color Correcting (green to reduce pink undertone) that is another product that does miracles for makeup

So that the haul from last Thursday and Friday (mostly Thursday).It seems like a lot,but it easily fits in two small Sephora bags.


Thanks for looking

The ONLY reason I bought the showstopper was the Photo Finish Foundation Primer.I literally can't live without it.It does magic and any foundation goes just beautifully.The rest,quite frankly I didn't care and it was just a nice bonus,however the eye brightener works really well

I am pleasantly surprised

The second primer -color correcting works well for people with pink undertone.Other than that I have admit that I am not really crazy about Smashbox color cosmetics.

lol, yeah to be honest, I've been dying to try the Photofinish Primer, so the fact that it was a part of the kit was THE selling point for me. Especially considering its price on its own, and this whole kit was only $49. So, like I said great deal.
The only other things I like is the l/s, and the Browtech (the brushes are a nice bonus too).
The Eye Brightener is a bit of a let down. Dior makes a similar product (Skinflash) that I like much better.
I don't really use the rest of the products...
Still the price was worth the Photofinish and Browtech, so I'm happy!
yes.gif

I really like the Browtech too and this one is probably the best or one of the best I've used.Even MAC's Brow shader is not as good as that one.At least not to me.Certainly MAC still does not have in its brush collection a good brow shader (I owe MAC's brush #266 and I am not happy,but can live with it),but that's another story

The rest of the TSC kit I've given to my sister.

By the way,I am going to try Dior's Eye Brightener - thanks for the pointer

The MAC Fix+ Spray is a must for me. I have 2, one for my traincase and one for my purse, I like to use it when I get hot, it cools me off. Cause here in Louisiana, it's humidity city, a good day is 95degrees with 90% humidity LOL. So I used my Fix+ a lot!

...yah,after this purchase I can say that MAC Fix + Spray is also a must!
Especially after yesterday,sat in a meeting,blah,blah,blah,food was served,I had a bit of Japanese and a bottle of water.My face immediately turned red! Including my chin.But two sprays of Mac's Fix+ saved my live,and my face.

I am from Northern Ontario and these days I honestly think that we can compete with Louisiana
