USA Shopping Haul

Sorry it has taken me so long to write a haul post from my recent trip to the USA. I managed to do most of my beauty shopping there in Sephora. Finding a Sephora store in every city we stayed in was certainly not hard. They are everywhere in NYC and I managed to find 2 in Hollywood and 2 in Las Vegas. The level of customer service at Sephora was wonderful. Every staff member was knowledgeable and keen on helping me. I am showing you all the products I purchased. Some are gifts and also some of the photographs were taken after I started to use the products.



  • Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation
  • Make Up For Ever HD Foundation ( I wore this for my wedding)
  • Laura Mercier Oil Free Supreme Foundation
  • Dr Jart+ Renewalist SPF 40 Beauty Balm ( I am LOVING this)


  • Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash
  • Origins A Perfect World SPF 35 Sunscreen
  • Origins GinZing Eye Cream
  • Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel (my skin was terrible on arrival in LA, 14 hours on an aircraft had a bad effect)



  • Dr Andrew Weil for Origins Mega Mushroom Skin Relief -Serum
  • Dr Andrew Weil for Origins Mega Mushroom Skin Relief -Soothing lotion to be used as a toner
  • Dr Andrew Weil for Origins Mega Mushroom Skin Relief -Soothing Face Cream



  • Tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12hr Perfecting Primer
  • Sephora by OPI 18k Gold Top Coat (a gift)
  • Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray




  • Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Top Brass
  • Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit
  • 3 Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils (one was a gift)
  • Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara



  • Tarte 5 Piece Lip Surgence Collection (fantastic value!)



  • Lancome Juicy Tubes Gloss
  • Dior Addict Lipstick
  • Dior Addict Lip Glow (first impressions- amazing)
  • Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick
  • YSL Glossy Stain/Gloss
  • Korres Lip Butter



  • Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Blush in Tipsy (gift)
  • Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Blush in Glisten



  • Chanel Chance Fragrance
  • Chloe Fragrance

I had been wanting both of these perfumes for a long time. They are certainly 2 of my favorite purchases so far.



  • Lancome Miracle Perfume set with shower gel. Bought this duty free before boarding our flight home. 

I also managed to buy non beauty related items as well! I bought 3 pairs of shoes as I am starting to wear sneakers more and more. Buying sneakers over there is so much more affordable than here in Australia. Other items I purchased were lots of T-Shirts including a New York Knicks Tshirt and some True Blood shirts from the HBO store in NYC. I also bought a few swatch watches, a NY Giants hat, a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses and a pair of Levis jeans. Here are some photos I took of the things I bought.






I bought many other things that I won't bother to include in this post. I had such a ball shopping over there.

If you want me to review any of the products I purchased, please let me know in the comments! Obviously products I have declared as gifts for others I cannot review.

  8. Successful holiday shopping! Yay! Cannot wait for the Dr Jart BB review - I am in the market for a new one. Does it make your skin look greasy at all? My face always looks like it's had an oil spill across it within a few hours when I use BB creams.

    And the watch *drools*

    I wish something would be done to fix the ridiculous pricing differences in comparison to overseas!
