I'd combed through my wishlist and planned a haul that included some of my most coveted items. From palettes, to blushes, to skin and hair care, I snagged a variety of top-notch goodies! Here's a peek at the spoils:
But let's start at the beginning, here's everything all packaged up:
And then, with the boxes removed. As you can see, there are tubes, sticks, pumps... and a chocolate bar?
Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Palette
I've heard wonderful things about Too Faced products and am constantly tempted by them, but actually have very few in my stash. I decided to remedy this by picking up this incredible, versatile palette that smells- amazingly- like chocolate! It's an perfect mix of mattes and shimmers, neutrals and plums, and was a key ingredient in Pixiwoo's Kat Dennings makeup tutorial. Can't wait to take a bite! ;)
Bumble and Bumble Grooming Creme
I'm a big fan of Bumble and Bumble hair products. Pricey, but potent! I am a girl who likes an easy hairdo that looks polished with minimal effort. This styling cream is actually advertised as "the dream creme for those that love to look polished, elegant, and smooth, but hate to work at it". Sign me up!
NARS Matte Multiple in Siam
I am a huge NARS fan and was instantly excited when I heard about their new Matte Multiples. I actually don't own any of the original Multiples, but something about these newer offerings had me hooked! I'd heard excellent things about the texture and pigmentation, and when I swatched them in-store, I wasn't disappointed. I opted for Siam, a vivid poppy red. Can't wait to sport this on my cheeks!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Radiant Magenta
The Ambient Lighting Blushes were another release that had me jazzed, and readers of the blog will know that I already scored one of these beautiful blushes in Diffused Heat. But like any good beauty
Even my cat, Sadie, was excited about this one. Can you spot her? :)
I am a huge fan of Shu Uemura Cleaning Oils and I've been curious to try their brightening version for some time. Due to my fair, sensitive, acne-prone skin, post-blemish marks are a persistent issue. I'm always on the lookout for products to add radiance and even my skin tone. Here's hoping this will help!
I also got a cute little striped makeup bag as a free gift with purchase. A nice little addition! I'm a sucker for anything with stripes and it's perfectly purse-sized, so I'm sure it will get put to good use :)
So there you have it, my Sephora VIB sale haul! Am really excited about everything I picked up. Look out for some more thorough reviews of these goodies soon!
Have you used and loved any of the products here? Did I tempt you with anything? Did you score anything from the recent VIB sale?
Thanks for reading- hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!
That Hourglass blush though... I NEED it!

A Beautiful Zen
I went a little crazy and made two trips to the sephora website haha! I thought about getting the too faced palette, but I didn't...I kinda regret it now, but I think I'm spent out haha!

Lovely haul Jen! I love the look of the Too Faced palette and the NArs Multiple-I have a few of the regular versions. Good work on the Hourglass too!
ReplyDeleteBe interesting to hear your thoughts on the SU oil-I think most of them contain mineral oil so it wasn't great for my skin

I would go crazy at a Sephora sale too. The Bumble and Bumble creme sounds like a dream for lazy people like me too. So cute of your cat to do a cameo appearance.
ReplyDeleteYup, I can definitely spot her! And I can definitely spot you too in that third picture.:) Sadie sure looks interested, maybe you should put some make up on her. Just joking, I'm sure she'd flip out.:D And for some reason, now I'm desperate for some chocolate... I wonder why??
ReplyDeleteHeehee, you're not the first one to recommend doing a kitty makeover :)
DeleteGreat haul dear! the too faced palette looks adorable. Happy Monday!

We had very similar items on our wishlists! There should be an ongoing list of beauty blogger favourites... I love your kitty! So cute! Also, did you know that the Too Faced palette is actually made with cocoa powder? Pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI know! So cool that it smells like chocolate cus there's actually cocoa in it! And a collective blogger favourites/wishlist is a great idea :)
DeleteGood haul, I wanted the Nars Multiple too but I resisted!
ReplyDeleteWow what an amazing haul! I loooove Sephora and a sale at that! OMG I can't even! I love the NARS Multiple you brought. Siam looks so dreamy! I've tried this once before, ages ago, I think I used to own the Orgasm shade but I don't know why I stopped using it? Well I'll be adding this to my cart immediately the next time I make it back to the States!
