Sephora VIB Haul ♥

Leave a comment

We all know when this time of year comes around all of us makeup addicts get a little crazy! Thankfully, I had my head on right this time around and used my VIB discount at Sephora to only purchase items I needed or have been really wanting to try, no random items. I only purchased five things but I’m really excited about each one!

VIB

♥ Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide Foundation (Praline) – My Friend Recommended this product to me. I’ve actually never tried any Laura Mercier foundations so I am super excited to try this one as I’ve heard many good things about this specific one. Plus it’s one of her newest foundations!

♥ Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner (Black Ink) – I feel like all of the black gel liners that I own right now still don’t look super black on me. I wanted to try this one since I see it being used over and over on Youtube and it looks super duper black. Let’s hope I love it!

♥ Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer – This is another YouTube favorite that I’ve been dying to try. I love experimenting with new primers to see if they help my makeup last longer and minimize my pores!

♥ Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed (Opal) – This one I bought because my other one broke 😦 I couldn’t live without it and decided to take advantage of the 20%.

♥ Cover Fx Bronzer (Sunset) – I needed a new bronzer and was stuck on my NYX Matte Bronzer for the longest time so I decided to step outside of my NYX box for a little while. I purchased the darkest color of the bunch so that I can use it for contouring.

Those were all of the items I purchased during the VIB sale. I’m very happy with the things I purchased and can’t wait to start using them!

 

What did you purchase during the Sephora VIB Sale?

Hey Guys!

The other day I got an email with a 20% off coupon for Ulta. The best part wasn’t that it was a 20% off coupon but it was one of the coupons that I was able to use on anything including the higher brands aka Urban Decay. Urban Decay is one of my favorite brands of all time, I mean I love many different brands but for some reason whenever I go to Ulta I end up in that section and alwaysss end up buying something. Well, this time around was no different. I picked up a few fun new Urban Decay products and a few other goodies as well.

Like usual, I wanted to share this with you so you guys can see what new products I’ve been buying and testing out. I was going to film this but literally could not find the time and the bag full of goodies was just sitting there waiting to be used. I did use some of the products already because I just could not contain myself but, I’m sure that doesn’t make a difference to you guys!

Either way, I hope you guys enjoy this post. Let me know which of these products you want reviews for and if you’d like me to do videos for hauls as well as blog posts!

(From left to right)

1. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade – I’ve been trying to perfect my eyebrows so I decided to pick this up and I’ve been already obsessed with it as we speak! I talk about it a little in my January 2014 Beauty Favorites Video ! I picked this up in the color chocolate.

2. Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss – This was something that wasn’t planned but I passed by it and just had to try! I’ve tried it and i’m still iffy on whether I like it or not so stay tuned for a review. I purchased this lip gloss in the color Walk of Shame.

3. NYX Butter Lipstick – I have two of these lipsticks in my collection already but I knew I wanted to purchase more. I don’t like to spend too much at the same time when I shop for makeup so I try to get one color each time. This time I decided to go with a Nude. I actually tried this one as well already and so far I’m on the fence about the color. We shall see how I feel later on as I continue to use it…

4. Wet ‘N Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner – This was another impulse purchase. Not necessary at all, whatsoever. As I walked down the aisle the bright blue just caught my attention. I plan on doing a tutorial with it eventually, I’m just not sure exactly what i want to do yet. I purchased this in the color Indigo Blue. Stay tuned for this product as well…

5. Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Loose Finishing Powder – Well  that was a mouthful to say (or type in this case) . Besides the super long name, this product is something I like to call magical. Literally the second I saw it, I had to have it. I’ve only tried it over Foundation so I’m not quite sure how it would work by itself, but so far I am in love. Bye, Bye Bare Minerals Matte Foundation! You will deff. See a Review on this soon so stay tuned!

6. L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer/Highlighter – This was another impulse buy. I’ve been looking for a good highlighter/concealer combo that I can use before concealer so I decided to give this a try. Honestly, I tried this a few times so far and I’m not a fan. It’s gotten comfortable in my concealer drawer and I don’t think it will be coming out of hibernation for a while. Boo for bad buys!

7. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz – I Needed This. End Of Story! I’ve purchased this before and ran out of it. I literally could not go one day without it and this is what actually brought me to Ulta in the first place. If you haven’t tried this product, Stop what you’re doing. Get in your car, and go buy it. Now. It’s literally amazing-ness in a stick! By the way, I purchased this in the color Brunette.

8. Macadamia Deep Repair Masque – Everytime I decide to purchase the actual regular size of this, it’s always sold out. Therefore, I end up settling for this little packet. Basically, If you haven’t tried this and you have hair that needs some repairing, you should probably go out and get this little sample packet. It’s so amazing. I will do a review on this as well at some point 🙂 Stay tuned!

10. Living Proof Samples! – I actually haven’t opened this little packet up so I’m not quite sure what is in it.

That’s everything that I purchased on my last few trips to the store! I hope you guys enjoyed this and if you’ve bought any new products let me know below, I always love to see what everyone else is buying and loving!

Mini haul ❤️ – Ulta

Hey everyone! 


The other day I made a quick trip to ulta to look for the new L’Oreal la’ laque and le’ matte lip colors but unfortunately my Ulta did not have them. I was so dissappointed that I decided to look around and see if something else could fill my void of a new lip color. 

As I wandered through the NYX aisle I remembered that many of my fellow youtubers have been raving about the lip butters! Prior to this I had never tried them so I decided to pick one up. I decided to choose the color creme brulee, since it was a nice nude that could pretty much go over any lipstick.I used it the next day and absolutely fell head over heels in love with it! 


After falling madly in love with my creme brulee lip butter I got an email the next day from Ulta saying that all NYX products were now 40% off! Well, that must of been a sign from the makeup gods above because how else could i resist!? Such an amazing deal on such a wonderful product! Later that day I made my way to Ulta and picked up a few more lip butters. 

I bought the colors: Strawberry parfait, Eclair, Cherry cheesecake, Peaches and cream, and Tiramisu.

I also noticed that Revlon products were also on sale for 40% off so since I was in serious need of a new bronzer (my beloved lorac bronzer hit pan & is sort of pricey) I decided to give their photoready bronzer a shot. We shall see if it makes it into my favorites this month! 

In the same aisle as the revlon and NYX i noticed there was a whole shelf of baby lips products. I was never a HUGE fan of Babylips because lets face it, unlike 80% of the makeup lovers out there I felt like they dried my lips instead of moisturized them. I sort of looked past them until I saw they had a new product! Baby lips Dr. Rescue medicated balm. Anything medicated has to work right? Right. So far I have been loving thia product! I had a few cuts on the sides of my lips from I think a fever or just the temperature change and ive been trying everything to get rid of them but of cours nothing has worked. Well, this worked! It healed the cuts and I actually feel like my lips feel moisturized and renewed. Lets hope it keeps working! I think I want to try the colored ones too, I got the mint one because it was easy and I could wear it whenever.

With that said, that concluded my mini shopping spree at Ulta the past few days. I also recieved a cute cosmetic case from benefit as a gift. I suppose forspending  a certain amount? Who knows. The case is really cute, cant wait to travel somewhere so I can use it! 

What have been your latest Ulta finds?
