Chicago Makeup Haul So, as promised from my previous post, here is my haul from Chicago! I stopped at Water Tower Place and went to Macy's, Sephora, and also hit up a few Nordstrom Rack locations! I am so excited to play with all of the new goodies I picked up!

So let's get in to what I got while I was in Chicago!

The Natural Palette Stila I recently received the Stila "The Natural" Palette for Christmas and thought I would give you guys my thoughts on it.

Over the course of the holiday season I received as well as purchased some beauty items for myself! Most of these items were purchased at Ulta, however a couple were ordered online from MAC Cosmetics. Let me know if you guys would like any product reviews! The first items I purchased were from MAC.  I finally caved and purchased the Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NC15, which is just slightly lighter than my natural skin tone. I purchased this to conceal and highlight underneath my eyes. This concealer is very full coverage without being cakey. This concealer comes in a glass bottle with a plastic top and a pump. The concealer comes with 0.3 fl ounces of product and retails for $20 in-stores and online at maccosmetics.com as well as in-stores at MAC counters inside Nordstroms, Macy's, and other department stores.  NC15 Pro Longwear Concealer MAC Cosmetics Next from MAC I repurchased my Eye Brow Pencil in "Spiked".

Stila Sweet Treat Bronzing Powder I've been on the hunt for a bronzer without parabens or bismuth oxychloride and it is so difficult to find one that's inexpensive! But I did it! The Stila Sweet Treat Bronzing Powder came out this year for Valentine's Day and my Ulta still carried it so I picked up. This bronzer retails for $14 at Ulta. It is no longer available on the Stila website. Let's take a look!

Another great Sephora Deal to bring you guys, the Stila Bring On the Night Makeup Set! I found this set online at Sephora.com originally valued at $104, it's down to $35! The savings is huge, about 66%, and you get 5 products(not sure if they're full size or not) for $7 a piece. The Smudge Crayon in Black, a Lip Glaze in Mango, the All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Kitten, the Custom Color Blush in Coral, and a Jewel Eye Shadow in Black Diamond. I have the All Over Shimmer in kitten in a powder form and I absolutely love it! Stila makes very beautiful products. The lip glazes are not sticky and look beautiful on the lips. I have not tried the smudge crayon, but I've heard great things. I highly recommend picking this up while it's still available. It is only available online at sephora.com and is limited edition.
