Beauty Haul - Southern New Yorker

Morning, Lovelies! I've done quite a bit of shopping lately and I thought I would give y'all a haul post today on the beauty items that have found their way into my collection lately! I'll report back most likely in my August Favorites on which ones we're outstanding, and I'm excited to try the majority of these while on vacation this week in Cancun, Mexico (don't worry, there will be one vlog at least, maybe two!) Tell me below any of these that you've tried, and your thoughts! Or If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them!

Becca Baclight priming filter, and tarte amazonian clay 24 hour blush in the shade exposed

Becca Backlight Priming Filter

If you read SNY regularly, you already know that I'm obsessed with every glowy, dewy, skin illuminating product on the market, and the Becca Backlight primer is legendary in it's glow-factor. At $38, it's a little pricier than other primers, but for the glow it promises to deliver, I'm willing to shell that out!

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed

I've loved this blush in the shade Captivated for almost a year, and so I decided to pick up one of their most popular shades, Exposed. It's a little warmer and darker than Captivated, and I think it will be the perfect fall and winter blush shade! 

Eva NYC dry shampoo and dry conditioner, and real techniques powder brush

Eva NYC Dry Shampoo, and Conditioner*

I was so excited to recieve both of these from Eva NYC! I am a dry shampoo fanatic, and with this one ringing in at $12 cheaper than my usual, I'm excited to see how it stacks up! And I love the idea of a dry conditioner! I'll definitely report back after using it to moisturize my salty, dried out beach hair!

Real Techniques Powder Brush

Real Techniques brushes are amazing quality brushes for a much lower price-point than most others, and I've been missing a huge fluffy face brush for finishing powders and wiping off translucent powder after baking, so this gorgeous one should do the trick!

Benefit goof proof brown pencil and essie polishes in meet me at sunset and butler please

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Crayon

I've been an Anastasia Brow Wiz cult follower for years, but I decided to branch out and try something from Benefit's new extended line of brow products! Their Gimme Brow is amazing, so lets hope the Goof Proof pencil lives up to it's standard!

Essie Polish in Meet Me At Sunset and Butler Please

Ah, the Essie addiction continues... I was so excited to see this very orange toned red, Meet Me At Sunset, among the others (Essie is seriously lacking in the oranges, please get on that) and I also had to grab the infamous blue, Butler Please, that's going to look so cute on my toes!

xoxo,

Audra
