Mini Make-Up Haul // BeautyJoint



Hello beauties!

I have never done a haul on my blog before so I thought I would just do that from time to time, whenever I get a bit more beauty stuff than usual. This is not a massive haul since I did cut down the money I spend on make-up and rather invested in more fashion bits recently, but I did place an order on BeautyJoint.com like a month ago.

Today I was very excited to see my parcel arrive at my doorstep and I just had to share with you what I got.

For those of you who don't know BeautyJoint, it's a website for mostly drugstore items so they carry brands like e.l.f., LA Girl, Morphe, Wet n Wild, Milani, Maybelline, NYX, Ardell, you name it. They basically have everything you could wish for!

Let's get into the products now, shall we?

e.l.f. (eyes lips face)

High Definition Undereye Setting Powder: This product I wanted to try for such a long time because I heard quite a few people on Youtube talk about it so I decided to pick it up online. This setting powder has a slight pink tone to it and even though it contains a few glitter sparkles, they do not show up on the skin.

Baked Blush (Passion Pink): I also decided to give one of their baked blushes a try. Passion Pink is a true pink colour with hot pink running through it. From what I can tell by swatching the colour on my hand, it does not seem to be extremely pigmented which can be good for people starting out with make-up so you can't really go too heavy on the blush with this product.


L.A. Girl

Pro Conceal (Orange Corrector/Porcelain/Toast): Since everyone on Youtube is raving about the LA Girl Pro Conceal HD concealer, I could not pass these. I decided to pick up an orange corrector shade which is supposed to cancel out the blue/purple under your eyes and since the NYX concealer in Orange is always sold out, I picked up this instead.

Then I got the colour Porcelain which is the lightest shade they do for under my eyes. From what I can tell so far it is pretty close to MAC NW15 except that MAC is more pink toned and Porcelain from LA Girl is more yellow toned. I am not sure how this colour will work out for my fair skin, but I will definitely report back.

The other shade I got is called Toast which I decided to pick up for cream contouring. I struggle a lot with powder contouring because I feel like my cheeks are very red and have a bit of an uneven texture so I find powder tends to look dirty instead of defined so I wanted to give cream contouring a shot.


Maybelline

Instant Age Rewind (Eraser): This I could not pass either. I heard so many people talk about the Instant Age Rewind concealer and when I went to pick it up in the Austrian drugstore, they only had the 3 concealer shades. In the US, there are a few more shades like the "Eraser" which is just straight up baby pink which should also cancel out the darkness under your eyes. I am looking forward to trying this out because my dark circles are ridiculous.


Morphe

M401 Brush: When I saw BeautyJoint started selling Morphe, I couldn't help myself but order a brush from them. You can't watch Beauty Gurus on Youtube anymore without someone mentioning the Morphe Brushes these days. I decided to go for the M401 which is a big, tapered brush that I thought would be amazing for setting my undereyes and/or powder contouring if that's your thing. I think it would also be a great brush for highlighting your cheekbones as well!


I'm extremely excited to be trying out these new products and if they are any good, you will definitely see them in upcoming monthly favourites or in a disappointing products post if they were a miss.

xox, Julia
