I have 14 new mineral eyeshadows to share. Let get started!!
1. Shimmer
Shimmer is a light gray sparkly eyeshadow with an undertone of brown. Perfect for a night time look.
2. Passionate Plum
This is a light purple/mauve color. Little darker than lavender, with a hint of silver. Great fall look.
3. Seduction
Seduction is a lot like Passionate plum, but darker and has more sparkles in it. Paired perfect with Clear Radiance.
4. Balance
Balance is a coral/peach color. Has a little shimmer. Perfect for summer.
5. Steel
Steel is a metallic gray with lots of sparkle. Steel is just a darker version of Shimmer. "The perfect gray"
6. Phoebe
Phoebe is a dark violet purple with a little bit of sparkles. Would work well with black and gray shadows.
7. Utopia
Utopia is a shimmery dark blue color, with an undertone of green. Perfect for a night out.
8. Clear Radiance
Clear Radiance is a light baby pink, with some sparkle. Perfect for a natural look.
9. Saturday
Saturday is a pressed white eyeshadow with little to no sparkle. Perfect for brow bone.
10. Sunday
Sunday is a light pink/mauve color with a red undertone. Would look great as a lid color.
11. Medium Tan
Medium tan is actually a "foundation" but it comes in the size container of a quarter. So I plan on using it as a powder primer, to hide my vainy eyes, since it is my skin tone.
12. Golden Dark
Golden Dark is a brownish copper color with no shimmer/sparkle. Completely matte.
13. Starlight
Starlight is a pink/gold sparkly color with lots and lots of shine. Perfect mixture of gold and pink.
14. Silk Rose
Silk Rose is a very rosy pink tone with little to no sparkle.
Well that is all for my bareMinerals haul. Hope you look into buying some of their products! Their SPF 15 powder foundation is the best powder foundation. My color is fairly medium but I haven't gotten color matched in a while. xoxoxo

Everyday Make-up Routine
1. Clean & Clear dual action moisterizer
I love this moisturizer. In the winter I have very dry skin, and this is the only moisturizer I have that keeps my skin moist all throughout the day.
2. Mac Pro Longwear foundation in NW20 ($31)
This is a full coverage foundation, and most likely the least expensive foundation most foundations that are sold at Sephora. Applied with a beauty blender. (Mac is not sold at Sephora, just fyi)
3. Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
After I apply my foundation, I get a little oily, so I apply this and it works perfectly!
4. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil in milk chocolate
This is the best bronzer I have ever tried. It smells amazing and doesn't break me out.
5. Covergirl Instantcheekbones in 240.
I love a bronzed look. I have some redness around my T-zone, so I don't like pink or red blushes. This blush is a peach tone. Its like a two-in-one. The middle color I use as blush, and the lightest color I use as a highlighter.
6. Elf Eyelid Primer
I love this primer. Not a lot is needed, and it works better than the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer and is like $1.00.
7. Most days I don't wear eyeshadow, but when I do I use sin from the naked 1 palette and number 2 from the Revlon Colorstay in 555 Moonlit
8. Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes
Love, love love this mascara. It doesn't clump my lashes, and makes them look fuller.

Target Haul, including E.L.F
Ahhh, the much anticipated post. I recently tweeted that I was going to Target and I would most likely do a haul, depending on what I bought. I absolutely love E.L.F, mainly because they have great products at the best prices. I got 7 items for like $25. (I am not sure why E.L.F 's products are .02 its just the way Target had them marked)
So the first thing I picked up was the E.L.F Professional Foundation Brush for $1.02.
I've been looking for some alternatives to my beauty blender for applying foundation.
Next, I got the E.L.F Small Stipple Brush that I believe was $3.02
I have been trying to find a stipple brush because originally thats what I thought you used to apply foundation before there was a beauty blender (which I recommend trying.) but I could never find one that was not $30+, which I think is ridiculous for a brush.
Third, I got the E.L.F Eyelid Primer in sheer which was $1.02.
I was not going to spend $20 for primer. And of course I never tried it so I thought why not :)
Then, I picked up the E.L.F Concealer stick in ivory for $3.02.
Now, for me picking out concealer is a little bit of a struggle. I have low iron, so around my eyes its very purple-blueish. So naturally, the concealers tend to fade throughout the day, letting the purple show through. It's something that bothers me. I wouldn't say I'm self conscious about it, I just feel a little embarrassed when it shows through or someone points it out. I'm excited to see if this concealer creases or lets the purple show through.
Last but definitely not least, I bought the E.L.F Moisturizing Lipstick in pink minx for $3.02
Super excited to try this, I wanted to buy more lipsticks and I'm excited to buy the other colors. :)
Now, my next two items are not E.L.F but I felt that it was pretty important to mention them.
Not E.L.F related, but I was looking for some new eyeshadow, so I got the Revlon Creme Shadow in not just nudes for $3.99 I believe. I didn't realize it was a creme shadow till I got home, but I wanted something different and I'm excited to see how it works and looks.
Next was the TRESemme Firm Control hairspray in 3. It was around $4.
A few months ago, I was in the hairspray aisle, and saw that hairspray costed about $10. Which I thought was ridiculous so I did not buy it. I didn't even check TRESemme. But when I was there just recently I need shampoo and was shocked that their hairspray was like $4. My hair holds curls pretty well so I didn't need a hairspray with extra firm control.
So that is all for my Target haul! Be sure to follow me on instagram at @haiitsaubree, and to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Don't be afraid to tweet me @beautybyaubs. I want suggestions for more blog posts, and feedback. Let me know if there is something certain you would like me to do a post about. Thanks guys! xoxo.

Make up I will not repurchase
Ok so we all have those products that we were soo excited to try, buuuut they just do not work, lol. Here are a list of products I would not repurchase!
In my other blog post about foundations I would not repurchase, I mentioned 3. So if you want to check that post out, it has lots of info about those foundations(:
1. Starting off with face products
In my other blog post about foundations I would not repurchase, I mentioned 3. So if you want to check that post out, it has lots of info about those foundations(:
1. Starting off with face products
- Maybelline Fit Me! in Light Pink
- Wet N Wild Coloricon Bronzer with SPF 15 in Bikini Contest 740
Foundations I will not repurchase
I love trying new beauty products and foundation is the most important to having a flawless face, but sometimes they don't always look right on your skin. Here is a list of foundations I would not repurchase and why.(:
1. Sephora 10HR wear perfection foundation
This was my first foundation and the least expensive one at Sephora. When I was getting color matched, the man took off all my make up and took three different pictures of my face and neck. The color was not right. I applied it with my beauty blender, and my face was orange. When I bought this foundation, it was winter time, so I was very pale. The color payoff was not right at all, and it did not last 10 hours at all. I started seeing it crease within 30 minutes.
2. REVLON COLORSTAY 24hour foundation
The problem with buying drugstore foundation is the make up company either has a large range of colors, or not enough. Plus, you can't open them up and test them on your skin, making a color choice 10x more difficult. Now, drugstore foundations have this very strong smell. Maybe not all but most of them do. I thankfully picked the right shade, however it does crease and leave that sticky and smelly foundation smell and look on your skin.
3. Covergirl Stay Fabulous 3 in 1
This foundation has everything in it. It has primer, coverage of a concealer and foundation in one, also has SPF 20. The only problem I find with this foundation is it is heavy. It's possible that its because it has a primer and concealer along with foundation all rolled into one, but I feel that when I wear it my face feels saggy, and it looks very cakey. Also, if you are looking for a foundation to wear when you're going to be in pictures, this is not the foundation. Any foundation with SPF in it will give the ghostly look in photos.
Alright, well that was everything for this post. Hope you enjoyed it and please leave suggestions for future posts! xoxo
