Haul-NUANCE by Salma Hayek

So I took a little trip to CVS today to buy some toiletries and came across the line that I was looking for. It was kind of hidden, so maybe that's why I had not been able to find it previously. I think they just started taking out the products because there were only a few in stock and not all of them were in stock. Since I was getting stuff that gave me Extra Bucks Back and had a few discount coupons, I decided to splurge a little bit.:)

Beautiful Blends Eye Quad Neutral 080: This is the packaging it comes with. It's very sleek and simple. I am really loving this quad. The colors are beautiful and the pigmentation is Amazing. 

Price in store:$9.29
Price Online:$8.49

Above ^ : That is the box that the quad comes in.


<--Below: Eye Quad Packaging. So Cute!! >_<

This is how it looks when two are popped out and when all the shadows are popped out.

To the Left: Swatches with the shadows without primer in the same order as above.

Rate: 5/5 :)

To the Right: Rose Petal Hydrating Balm. Really cute package but it was really small. Didn't find it worth keeping so I returned it.

<--Very Small. Was kind of disappointing.

--> But the color is really pretty..the smell...uhhh not so pretty. It has a very weird smell. Didn't Like it. I didn't want to touch it since I was returning it so I can't say anything about the consistency.



Rate: 1/5

 <-- Brow Kit in Brown: Contains brow powder, golden highlighter and grooming wax, plus an angled brow-defining brush perfect for shaping flawless arches. Fragrance free. Paraben free. Not tested on animals.

Price In Store: $10.99
Price Online:$9.99

(Left to Right): Wax, Shimmery Highlight Cream Color and Brown Powder.

My Thoughts: The brushes it comes with suck. I threw them away. The wax feels very weird and sticky but it does the job. I don't really like the highlight color...its really hard to get out or get any product on my fingers. The powder is really nice but I think it is a little to dark for my eyebrows or maybe just gotta get used to it. haha But i think i like my Smashbox one much more than this one.

Rate: 3.5/5

All the Products -->

Oh yeah forgot about the Skin primer.


Skin Primer: I really Like this one. It reminds me of the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Face Primer But has a lot more good stuff for your skin and doesn't feel oily. Sets in fast and my face feels sooo soft. 
Price in Store:$13.29
Prince Online:$11.99

 Info: White lupin seeds & safflower seed oil help improve skin's firmness and elasticity. Pumpkin seedcake nourishes and delivers improved radiance. Soft-light diffusion technology helps create a healthy glow. Vitamin E nourishes and protects skin. Paraben free. Fragrance free.


Overall I am satisfied with all my purchases with the exception of the Hydrating Balm and I am looking forward to trying out other products from her line. I would check things out in the store and see what you would want to try & maybe order them online since they are less expensive than in store.  :)
