PURCHASED BY ME
It’s time for the second part of my Sephora VIB haul! Technically, I didn’t *need* any of this, but in the name of beauty bloggin’ I thought it would be fun to try out some fun new products. At least, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😉
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure – Originally, I planned on getting the Ambient Lighting Blush Palette, but since I already own Dim Infusion I couldn’t justify getting two other blushes that are really similar. This one on the other hand, has been on my wish list for months. It’s a pink nude with a hint of mauve, can it get any prettier?! I’m such a sucker for blushes in this shade range, and the formula of these are so smooth and dreamy!
Clinique Lashes Top to Bottom Kit – I love little kits like this, especially when it comes with a product that’s already on my shopping list. I needed to repurchase my bottom lash mascara, so I figured I’d spend six more bucks and get two other products as well. Clinique makes great mascaras, they don’t smudge or flake, and they are super easy to remove!
Marc Jacobs Style Eye-con No. 7 Palette (The Lolita) – Can we take a moment to admire the beauty of this palette? 😆 I’ve had my eye on this for a really long time, so I decided to finally splurge on it. These shades aren’t anything special, but as a neutrals addict I know I’ll get plenty of use out of them. Stay tuned for a full review!
Bite Beauty Best Bite Remix – I’ve only tried one thing from Bite Beauty, and it was a total disaster. However, I’ve heard such great things about these lip pencils, so I thought I’d give the brand another try. These colors are really pretty and wearable, and they have the most creamy texture. This set is sold out online, but my local Sephora had a ton in stock. So, I’ll be posting a quick review soon in case any of you are interested in getting it!
Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer Lipgloss in Sweet Escape – I’m obsessed with my Marc Jacobs lipgloss in Heart Shaped, so I knew I had to get my hands on another one during the sale. Since nude pinks are my weakness, I decided to get this gorgeous neutral shade that will go with any look. If you haven’t tried these glosses, run to Sephora and do so. They are smooth, nicely pigmented and they have a yummy vanilla scent that’s also minty fresh while it plumps.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard – So, I caved and finally decided to try this coveted concealer. I have a soft spot in my heart when it comes to NARS, it’s the first high end makeup brand I splurged on nearly ten years ago. I adore their foundations, blushes and eyeshadows, but honestly this concealer seems like an exact dupe for MAC Select Mositurecover- only more expensive. The coverage is nice, and the formula is creamy, but the MAC concealer is far less money.
OCC Anti-Feathered Lip Pencil – I thought the concept of this lip liner was really cool. It’s completely clear and is supposed to prevent lipsticks from feathering. Since I’ve recently gotten into darker lip colors, I figured this would be a good time to try out a product like this. I haven’t heard anyone talk about it, so hopefully it’s good!
250 POINT PERK
I received a teeny tiny sample of this perfume with an order back in September, and I fell in love. It’s such a pretty scent, but it’s quite expensive. So, I nearly jumped for joy when I saw this mini bottle listed under Sephora’s perks. Don’t you love it when they have awesome freebies!?
That’s it for my massive haul, no judging please 😉 I can’t wait to dig into all this stuff and get some new reviews up! What items did you splurge on?
All items mentioned in this post were purchased by me.
Great haul! What shades are in that Bite Beauty set? My Mum bought me a set containing sable, pomegranate, rhubarb and winterberry. They sound edible lol.
Those are the shades in this set as well, aren’t they so pretty! I love sable!
Wow! SO many great products! The blush and the Marc Jacobs shadows look so beautiful!
I had my eye on the blush for so long, hourglass products are so nice!
I like to buy the little sets that include the Clinique bottom lash mascara, although I haven’t liked the latest ones I bought I still get them lol! Love those Marc Jacobs lip glosses, I have a couple shades on my wishlist.
Ugh, aren’t his glosses amazing? Whyyy must they be so expensive! lol I have a few YSL lippies on my wish list too, their Rouge Volupte Shine formula is my favorite!
Too amazing! I wish I could afford to buy five shades at once! LOL! OMG I’m thinking about getting my very first YSL RV Shine very soon, I’ve been avoiding the formula because I’m scared it’ll get all over my face, but I see a purple that has my name on it!
My favorite YSL RVS is #15 – without fail every time I wear it, I get compliments. The formula has a lot of slip, but I wore it to the ball two weeks ago and only had to touch up 2x within a 9 hour period. So, to me that’s pretty good. It’s a really smooth, hydrating formula. I swatched #2 on my hand the other day, and I’m in love! lol
I added a couple shades to my xmas list 😉
I LOVE Mood Exposure! That’s the one I’ve had my eye on… if I ever decided to splurge. 🙂 Also, the Bite Beauty set looks gorgeous. Definitely hope to find that in my local Sephora store! Great picks!
You must get the Bite set, I’ve been playing around with the pencils and they are so nice!
Love your haul, both parts!! I especially like the Mood Exposure – that was recommended to me by one of the Hourglass reps. And those Bite lippies look sweet. I love Bite stuff. 🙂
I’m so happy I picked up mood exposure, it’s the perfect everyday shade! 🙂
That marc jacobs palette… swoon!
I know, it’s so pretty right?!
Oh… so loving these VIB hauls! I need to get my hands on some of the Hourglass goodies… my Sephora doesn’t stock them in store and I am a more test it out gal
Oh no, I’m the same way I always love to swatch before I buy. They aren’t the most pigmented blushes, and they really don’t even look great upon swatching, but on the face they are stunning and add a great glow to the skin!
So many good buys! I wanted that Bite set but mine didn’t have it. That Marc Jacobs palette is gorgeous! I bought the No Bleeding lip liner for the same reason and I think it’s awesome, works so well! I’m sure this one won’t disappoint either. I wanted to like that Nars concealer but it creased on me, I’ve yet to find anything better than my MAC Pro Longwear one 😉
I have heard so many people say they had the same creasing issues with the NARS concealer. My under eyes are on the dry side, so it didn’t crease, but like I said it’s so similar to MAC Select Moisturecover that I really can’t justify the extra $13 for the NARS one :/
I’ve been waiting for this post from you! I got the Hourglass Blush Palette and the Bite Beauty lippy pencils! We must have great taste. 🙂 I want basically all of this… feel free to send it all my way. 😛
Ohhh, you got the blush palette!!! Call me crazy, but I still sorta want it even though I already bought mood exposure on its own. I need to be stopped haha Wish we could go shopping together!
That perfume mini is SO cute :D! And I can’t wait to see your review on the Bite set.
I’ll be posting it soon, but a little hint: they are amazing! 🙂
The Marc Jacobs palette is so pretty! Great choices!
Isn’t it?! His packaging is so sleek and elegant too! 🙂
Great haul! & love the mini!
Thank you! Isn’t the tiny bottle so cute! lol
So happy you got the Tory perfume!!! Don’t you just loooove it???? I think I made a comment on your Insta pic about the NARS creamy concealer? I just bought it to, and I think it is the BEST concealer I’ve ever used!!! I guess everyone is different! You got some great items!
OMG, yes! I was so happy I got the little TB bottle! I do really like the NARS concealer, just surprised at how similar it is to my all time favorite MAC one. If you haven’t tried Select Moisturecover you need to, it performs the same, but it’s $13 cheaper!
