A friend and I drove to a large Sephora store for her graduation gift, and while there I pretty much broke my budget. XP I'll be living on granola bars for a while, guys! ;-) Here's what I bought (I thought about making a "haul" video, but my camcorder isn't speaking to my laptop at the moment):
My haul: TARINA TARANTINO Eye Dream Hyperliner in Kanzashi, Fresh Supernova Mascara, 2 Yves SaintLaurent lipsticks, and a few samples.
*Every so often I go for something funky, and I fell in love with the color and staying power of this TARINA TARANTINO eyleliner! It's shimmery but not overly glittery, and stays well even on my eyelids that make ANYthing crease.

| The tip. Matches the color indication on the end perfectly! |
 |
| On my wrist. Yes, I am that white. |
 |
| On my eyes! Yay! |
*My friend RAVED about the Fresh Supernova Mascara, so I got some to try. Fresh recommends layering this mascara with their Firebird mascara for "the ultimate lush lash look." Firebird is supposedly for volume, and Supernova is for length and definition. I couldn't afford both, so I got just the Supernova. One problem I have with mascaras is that my eyes create a "Raccoon-Eye" by making the mascara travel down underneath my eye. So far the only mascara I've found that avoids this is Blinc's mascara. Wearing the Fresh Supernova for about 5 hours so far, I have noticed no traveling! I'll update if that changes. Now, for the pictures!

| The wand, and the absolute CUTEST bottle! |
 |
One eye done! You can see the length and definition created, one of the better mascaras I've tried.
|
 |
| Both eyes done. Yay! |
*Now for the lip colors: I've been looking for a nice bubblegummy pink for a long time, and I may have finally found one! It's Yves SaintLaurent Rouge Volupte in Lingerie Pink.
 |
| On wrist...sorry for the blurry shot. |
 |
| On my lips. This was about 2 swipes. |
 |
| The whole picture, and cheesy smile. XD |
*Lastly, I'm a sucker for a good red lipstick. Yves SaintLaurent had one! It's their Pur Couture in Le Rouge. It's okay, but it does feather more than I like. If you're looking for a fantastic red with conditioning and staying power, try LORAC's Leading Lady (sadly, they didn't carry LORAC at this Sephora).

I don't know what I like better on me: pink, red, or a more nude tone. What do you think? Thanks for looking, and I hope this has helped you--or at least been a little entertaining! ;-)
To the reader: What "beauty essential" do you tend to break the bank on?
I love your haul! I want to try everything reviewed here. Personally, I like red and maybe a dark pink lip colour on you :]
