Sephora VIB Sale Haul!


Like any VIB member, or Beauty Insider, I could not resist attending the VIB Sale! & of course I did not leave empty handed... However my every day skincare necessities as well as foundation seemed to be empty all at one time! So most of my purchases were skincare items. 





I had recently purchased the Dior Glow blush which I have completely fallen head over heals for! So I decided to give this baby a try and have so far been amazingly shocked at it's ability to give me the perfect lip shade! 


My lips BEFORE, very dry an nasty! ( Please excuse my scar!)



My lips AFTER! I could not get a before picture with a flash (angry face here). But you can see a difference. My lips are now obviously more moisturized as well as have a more pink cranberry color to them! & I am not lying when I say my lips match the inside of my mouth when wear this! It's true and kind of freaky!



My Origins eye cream is a little heavy for day time at the moment, so I decided to give this Clinique one a try! I have heard many good reviews on it and it seems light wearing which is good for me during the daytime.



I was out of my most current favorite foundation and was is desperate need of picking up a new one! I decided to go a shade light to #15. I am interest to see if I like this for colder months as much as I do the Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation.



If I am correct this product used to be in a stick for and/or they had a similar concept product that may have been discontinued. My first ever concealer was a concealer stick from Clinique that had acne fighting ingredients just like this one! This blemish hiding and fighting concealer contains salicylic acid to diminish blemishes while its color pigmentation hides them! I am hoping to be very pleased with this product.


My Makeup Forever foundation is SO long wearing it is almost nearly impossible to remove. I use the Chanel Eye makeup remover and decided to give this cleansing milk a go in hopes that it will remove my makeup with out breaking me out! Also, it will hopefully make the nightly skincare routine go a little smoother!





Since I was going with the whole "Clinique" themed skincare haul I picked up a new cleanser! This one looked acne friendly and I really like the blue color! To me, it just screams CLEAN!



This is my first ever purchase from Ole Henriksen and I am very curious as to how I will like it! I was looking for an oil free night time moisturizer (SPF free) and the sales associate at Sephora recommended this one to me! She informed me that it was oil free and should help with acne, or any kind of, scaring.

A comparison of the skincare items consistencies! 

I decided to pick up this 500 point reward. I don't know why but recently I have been so obsessed with Dior!

The set came with a small size of the Dior Addict Eau de Toilette.
As well as a bracelet/necklace 
and a
small sized Dior Addict Lipstick in #578 which is pictured above!

Sephora Haul Saturday!

This week Sephora was having a V.I.B. sale so I took advantage! I believe the sale was 15% off. My order just came in the other day and I want to share it with you all :) 


I only purchased three items (shown above), but I am very pleased with all three!


I received some samples! I was most excited about the origins GinZing eye cream. Because this is my favorite day-time eye cream and I am fresh out! So now I have a little sample to last me a while.


I love the Benefit High Beam highlighter and recently I have been interested in try some products similar to it from Benefit. So when I saw that Sephora had this exclusive kit of three other Benefit liquid stain/highlighting products, I had to buy it! I really love the Posie Tint and Sun Beam, but Cha Cha Tint is a little scary to me lol. The Cha Cha Tint shade is a bright orange coralish color, that is very pretty, but I just haven't figured out how to use it yet! The Posie Tint is a perfect cheek color for me and is always very pretty as a lip stain. I of course love Sun Beam too, because it is so similar to High Beam. I think it will be perfect for giving my skin a bronzed glow this summer! 


Swatches of just the colors.

I decided that I wanted to purchase this hand cream when I saw MissJenFabulous 's video on youtube of her nail care routine. Her nails are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. She said that this Hand Cream is her favorite hand cream and that she keeps one in her purse, beside her bed, and etc.. I decided then that I must try this. I haven't had it long so I can't tell you too much about it. But, I know that the smell is nice and not very strong or over powering. It also absorbs nicely into the skin and does not leave your hands slippery. I will update on it later after I try it for longer!


The finale product is the beauty blender! I have waited so long to try this! The picture above show the difference in a wet and dry beauty blender (dry, left : wet, right). You can obviously see that it get's much bigger when you wet it. Just like the hand cream I haven't tried it enough yet to give a full review. A few things that I have noticed are that it doesn't seem to absorb my foundation, it feels great on my skin (kind of refreshing!), and that it gives a very natural finish!

I hope that you enjoyed this post! Did you take advantage of the Sephora sale? 
If so, what did you buy?

Thank you for stopping by!
