Amazon Beauty Haul + Giveaway || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyhaul #amazon #giveaway

Before classes started this semester I knew I was going to need to upgrade and add some things to my cosmetology school kit. After a bunch of searching I decided that Amazon would be the best place to get these products because not only are the prices pretty good but as a Prime Member I get free two-day shipping straight to my house (no this post isn’t sponsored by Amazon, I wish though!). However, when I mentioned it to the Hubs he didn’t think I would be able to find all the stuff that I want because “Amazon isn’t really known for their beauty section” (some of the responses on my December Beauty Boxes which featured Amazon told me that a lot of you agreed with him). I decided that I would haul the different beauty items that I was getting and when a chance to join a $500 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway popped up as well I knew it was fate.

Due to the giveaway at the end of this post I’m not going to cover everything that I purchased in the post, however, it is all in the video so make sure to check that out!

Besides an acrylic kit and a small manicure kit there wasn’t much in our cosmetology kits for my Nail Care class that was starting this semester. I knew I was going to need to add a few items due to sanitation reasons. I picked up a box of 144 emery boards due to having to throw them away after each client. I also picked up a pack of 100 orange wood sticks or cuticle pushers for the same reason. Lastly for Nail Care I picked up a nail art set that had brushes and dotting tools in it.

In our cosmetology kit we only got a small makeup kit that only came with some super cheap brushes, let me know if you want me to do a review of that and I will, so I knew I was going to need some serious brush upgrading. I decided to pick-up the new Real Techniques Brow Set as brows are super popular at my school. For my brushes I decided to get a few Morphe brushes to try out and when I saw that Amazon had the Morphe 686 Brush Set, which had pretty good reviews on YouTube, I grabbed it up. Lastly for my Facials & Make-up Class I picked up a Stainless Steel Makeup Palette for putting product on sanitarily.

    These looks like a great collection of different brushes! My teen daughter has started experimenting with makeup and since I don’t wear any, they’d be great for her to try out!

    I have just recently discovered an interest in makeup and have started learning a lot. My makeup bag still only has the necessities so these are tools I could use. Amazon is not the place I would think to go for these products, but the price is very reasonable. My next investment will be a good set of brushes.

    Awesome giveaway and I’m psyched to finally see one open to readers worldwide! There are so many great giveaways only open to US readers and it’s so disappointing because I’m an American expat living in Denmark and I want to play, too ; -)

    I enjoy browsing Amazon. I sometime even make a purchase. They are my favorite place to browse books. I never even gave them a thought when looking for beauty products online. I will now!

    What an awesome giveaway! I love that Real Techniques brow set. I’m not big on makeup but I still find ways to learn how to put some on every now and then. 😀

    Wow…you found a lot of good stuff on Amazon. I feel like you can find anything on there. I am a Prime member too, and I think it is one of the best things the company did. I love that I get items sent to my house so quickly. I also entered the giveaway!

    This is a fantastic giveaway. I totally entered and shared! I’m not the best with makeup, but every once in awhile I put a little paint on the barn. Amazon is my favorite source for everything. Love the two day shipping and just the ease of use. I get a lot of “hauls” lol.
