Notoriously Morbid – What We Do in the Shadows Set & Black Friday goodies!

Happy “It’s almost Christmas!” day to everyone! 🙂 I recently got my Notoriously Morbid Black Friday order in the mail and I really wanted to share it with everyone. It’s been grey and rainy (no hope for a white Christmas here) but I managed to grab some photos on a relatively bright day.

Indie Spotlight ~ Hello Waffle Cosmetics! ~ Huge Swatch Post of Eyeshadows, Highlighter, Blush, Lipstick

Hello everyone! I have an awesome post for you guys today, and I mean awesome as in “ohmygod look at how many swatches there are”. I have swatched my ENTIRE Hello Waffle collection! Every single eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, and lip thing that I own from them. Granted, I don’t have the entire brand (yet) but wowza did I go crazy during her last sale 🙂
If you didn’t know, Hello Waffle is a Canadian indie brand (named after her cat, Waffle!) that does eyeshadows, blushes, lip balms, cheek products, etc. They pretty much do every type of cosmetic. And they have cute themes, including a punny one called Catssic Literature (books + cats!). I’ve been wanting to highlight this brand for a while and now is a good time so you can narrow down your wishlist before their Black Friday sale!

Hello Waffle shadows galore!

Sephora Haul Round-Up & my new HG Lipstick!

Hello guys! Who else went a little (too) crazy during the Sephora sale a little while ago? I know I did and I have absolutely NO regrets. I found some new favorites and a holy grail lipstick! YES, I am serious! I found a lipstick so wonderful I went and got FIVE colors. Kind of crazy, but really I have no regrets 🙂

Now I actually don’t think I went that crazy; not nearly as much as I was tempted! I mostly bought things I actually needed or was really eager to try. With one exception: those fantastic amazing gorgeous Clinique lipsticks. But I will get to those in a minute 😉
