Another Sephora haul, at least this one was kind of small. :) This purchase put me into VIB status
for 2015! That's actually why I wanted to get it in
before the end of the year. Since this was my first time, I made sure to grab my
VIB welcome kit, more because I wanted to see what was included than
anything else.
Of course, I grabbed some free samples (none have been tried yet):
Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick in #368
Baby Rose, #325 Rouge Kiss, and #344 Sexy Coral
Clinique All About Eyes Deluxe Sample
Purchased Products:
Too Faced Melted Liquified Long WearLipstick in Melted Fig – I LOVE this color! It is a medium
purply-pink that, while not a true MLBB shade, it is a great everyday
shade for me. I also really like the liquid lipstick formula. You
only need a very thin application and you get fully opaque coverage.
Although it wears very thin, when you press your lips together, you
can definitely still feel the product on your lips. I also really
like the felt/sponge applicator; it gives a really precise
application as long as you don't squeeze too hard.
Benefit Lemon Aid – I've mentioned
before that I really like Benefit products. One of the YouTubers I
follow loves this product, and I don't have a yellow or green
concealer in my collection, so I wanted to grab this. It is a rather
thick, dry cream that definitely stays opaque yellow when applied,
even after blending. This is marketed as a an eye concealer, but I
have worn this on other areas as well. Because of the color and
coverage, I found that I need to apply this before my foundation if
I'm wearing foundation that day, and if not, I need to make sure to
layer another concealer closer to my skin color. In addition to
being a decent concealer, this also makes a decent eye shadow base I
the way that some people use NYX Eye Pencil in Milk. I will say, this could be better if it smelled like lemons, but that's such a minor thing...
Sephora Precision Sponge – I love my
BeautyBlender, but it seems to be starting to shed a little bit. To
try to save it and try to save a little bit of cash (and also qualify
for free shipping), I decided to pick up the Sephora version. I
haven't tried it yet, but I'll let you know what I think.
Elizabeth and James Nirvana Rollerball Set in Black and White – Sephora was having a points special on
fragrance, offering an extra 250 points with any fragrance purchase.
I'm a big fan of rollerballs in general, since they allow you to have
a good amount of product at a fraction of the cost. I had been
finishing off a sample of White and had heard good things about
Black, so I thought I'd pick these up. My only complaint about White
is that, when sprayed, it didn't seem to last very long. I'm hoping
that might change when applied by rollerball. I haven't tried the
Black yet, but on initial whiff, I like it even better than white.
Are you a VIB? What did you buy to get
to that level? Do you like Sephora or Ulta better?
