Collective Haul (Luxola, US, UK) + Giveaway Sneak Peek

I've too many hauls lately but I can't help it that it's all around the same time xD;
I might as well make a collective haul post than separate them, y'know?

So, the first thing I received around last week were my Zoeva brush sets!
This was definitely not planned, but I was lucky.

- Zoeva Vegan Face Set
- Zoeva Complete Eye Set
- Samples

I bought this before they decided to not have them discounted anymore, so it was really a lucky buy. Unfortunately I didn't get the most expensive one ( oAo ) that complete set of the complete ones. Not that I had the money for that one.

I haven't used them...simply because I'm quite rough with my brushes (well, not really) and I don't really know how to deal with more expensive brushes! I'm honestly very weird with things.

But I can say that they're soooo soft and soooo well made AND well packaged! They come in a bag with another bag! It feels much more luxurious than Sigma, I feel.

I'm definitely gonna have the ultimate complete set for my hantaran LOL.

Next up, we have my Sephora and Walgreens haul.

My sis just came back to visit from the US.

You'd be surprised at how little makeup I asked for.

Well, it has something to do with weight though.

- Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation
- Too Faced 5 Star Favorites
- Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot
- Samples

Originally, the samples were supposed to go to my sister but she's like "Y'know, just take it. You like trying out things". My sis has LOVELY skin :O maybe it's from giving birth and all that. She did say she used an Aveeno cleanser.

I've tried the Rimmel foundation twice already. One thing I'd like to point out:

Excuse the dry fingers (UGH)

When I first opened it, I saw this.

It was clearly swatched/used.

LOL. Man, American drugstores are scary.

I just went ahead and sanitized it.

I got the shade 203 True Beige. It fits me well, it is a little bit more pink. I haven't used it without a base, so I dunno if it'd oxidize. I do like how it looks like on my skin! Does it keep me matte? Not really, but so far I do like it.

Haven't tried the Too Faced stuff yet but I have used the Benefit blushes.

Well, some of them. Rockateur and Bella Bamba are immediate faves on the face. Hoola I used...it was okay. I tried the brush it came with. SUCKS.

It just stabbed my Hoola ;-;

Last but not least~

This arrived yesterday!

MUA Shade 12

I've been waiting for these for a while!

It took a month to arrive, but at least it did! Still can't get over my lost packages from the UK/US. That one MUA order from last year that never came, a whole lot of products. My lost Vice palette (second hand), twice sent. UGH.

But anyway, one is for me....and one is for a giveaway!

The reason for me buying this shade:

THE DUOCHROME!

It's not as strong as I thought it would be, when swatched on the hand and on my mom's eyes...but with a base, it was so nice.

A dupe for MAC's Club or Blue Brown pigment? I'm not so sure.

But yeah, that's about it.

I've been slowly trying most of the things I got. Some I liked, some I loved...some I'm 'eh' about.

So, have you tried any of these?

What do you think of them?

I'd love to know :)

'til then, take care!
