Sephora Haul [Picture Heavy] **Updated**
Good morning!! I know it took forever but here's my mini Sephora haul. Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE Sephora! It's my favorite beauty store to shop at not only because of the variety but also because of the benefits. =) I'm a VIB as well as Beauty Insider, if you haven't found the joys of being one, you should look into it ;-) If you don't want to take my word for it, here's the fact, because I am both a VIB & Beauty Insider, I got 6 out of 8 of these items free, who doesn't want that right? LOL Okay! On to the pics and details.
PACKAGING:
Nothing special since I didn't get it gift wrapped or anything, just a regular old box with their logo. It says FRAGILE on the box although, I really didn't see anything "fragile" in there but I guess they just wanted the products to be handled with care, which is nice. Once the box was open, it was nothing special.
 |
| Signature 'S' *Excuse my toes* LOL Order form |
IN THE BOX:
On top, separated from the good goodies, were my 3 free samples that you have the option to get at check out. They are nice but of course, I wanted what was underneath! Which unfortunately, as you can see so many trees had to die for me to get to. After, sifting through idk how many folds of paper, I saw the glorious-ness of my goodies!! Couldn't wait to play in them =)
 |
| I chose 2 perfumes & a moisturizer Seriously, who needs all of this paper?! Yummmy!! Don't you love it =0 |
SAMPLES:
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!:
First, is the bliss triple oxygen + c energizing cream. [I haven't actually tried it yet because I've been crazy busy, but hopefully I'll get to it soon] It states that it "releases oxygen to instantly recharge dull skin | super-charge vitamin C helps promote collagen | moisturizes, smooths, & brightens" I will certainly most see!
Secondly, is the DKNY Golden Delicious. This is something that I have been wanting to try for a very long time but I didn't want to buy it without trying it for a couple of days. SO now I have that opportunity, yay!
Thirdly, is a perfume by Peace Love & Juicy Couture. Haven't really had the "urge" to try it. Kinda in a rush to get the big items lol
 |
| I think the packaging is pretty. |
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!:
Because I love Sephora & Sephora loves ME [lol], they decide to surprise me with a birthday present! It's by philosophy is is fan-frickin-tastic, they have beyond great products. One of the awesome things about philosophy is that it comes with a philosophy based on the product give. For instance, this particular philosophy is called happy birthday, beautiful! and the philosophy written is "true beauty is ageless" =) If THAT doesn't make you smile, then hear this yumminess, it's in vanilla birthday cake, a shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath. I like it already, lol

PURCHASED ITEMS:
The two things that I actually bought was both value sets, and I couldn't decide between the two so I got them both, problem solved, lol =)
Tarte Ring It in Cheek Stain Set: It was Online Only, Limited Edition
[Original pice? $74 What I paid? $25]
The site's description, "A limited-edition set of three best-selling and award-winning mini cheek stains in all new shades, plus a universally sized cocktail ring."
I'm a sucker for exclusivity so for it to limited edition AND online only? Oh wait. PLUS it being TARTE consider me SOLD lol
I did like the way they presented the packaging, love the gold.
Each of cheek stains came in a small tube with it's own name of course. They also came with a cap which I thought was nice. Here's the first:

The second:
The third:
 |
| The second, is a bright pink called: Vivid |

SWATCHES
The Luster has a nice shimmer
The Vivid is a nice rosy pink
The Flawless is almost translucent to me
**Excuse the hairy arms, lol**

I here a lot about Too Faced but never actually got the chance to try their pallet until I got it with my VIB points one day [I did a review on it here] so when I saw this I was like, awesome I get to try them some more, esp since I really needed a nude lip. So without further ado...
It comes with this gorgeous satin zipper bag, the inside lining is pink

| Isn't this absolutely gorgeous? |
Too Faced is CRUELTY FREE, no animal testing =)

Makeup Party Cont...
The above pics are me playing around with her NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils & OMGSH! These things are heaven sent and I must have them!! LOL Here I just did a simple smoldering upper eye with Slate and to add a little neutral color, I used Yogurt on the brow bone. Love the sophisticated simplictiy! To pull the look together, I used CLINIQUE lash doubling mascara in Black/Brown for my lashes, NYX Mosaic Powder in DARE, and of course my trusty Tarte LipSurgence in Bluff. I liked it, hoped you did -)
Now! Dun, dun, dun!!! My fave of the night:
DAY AT THE PUMPKIN PATCH!
This was my first run at doing a "themed" look and also my first time using orange. Ash was kind enough to have faith in me with her pallet, she wanted me to create a look with it and this is what I thought of. It was a NYX pallet with Oranges, Greens, a Rustic Brown & Ivory. I hope you get where I was going with this.
*Sorry for unkempt brow. I decided to make the lid completely orange for the pumpkin, of course. Then I added a light orange, almost yellowish shadow for a highlight. The rustic brown was the undereye choice for dirt in the patch and the green is for the head of the pumpkin. Hope you enjoyed!

Hellllllooo Kitty!
I absolutely ADORE Miss Kitty White!! I mean who doesn't?! Hello Kitty is small, sweet, adorable, playful, classy & loved by all. One of the things I like about her is that she can be worn by all ages and for almost any occasion. Love it!!! =D
Here are a few things that I've come across that I would really like to get eventually. Feel free to add your own links & images!
Of course these chic & playful HK nails!
Appropriate for both work or GNO
To complete the hand beauty, why not add a little geek chic!?
And these are so purfect for me because my husband & I both wear glasses lol
And what ensemble would be complete WITHOUT these sassy pair of heels?
Answer: NONE! LOL
I want these cases soooo bad! They are from MeBlingBling
The bottom one stays on t/case directly surrounded by flowers & gems =)
The top one lifts off the case & she's holding a bear, how cute!
As you can probably tell the picture... I have this one!
It's a compact mirror in Noir, so cute & sophisticated.
This is Kitty White's makeup pallet
Even her insides are gorgeous, lol
Here are her brushes in Crystal & Noir.
I really like the clear because it's pink & soft & girly but I already have the Noir compact...
Plus the pallet is Noir... Decisions, decisions.
Welllll, this concludes my Hello Kitty freak out, lol. I hope you enjoyed, and share my love =) The cosmetic HK products can be found at Sephora. See you next time!

Very Sexy Lips
If the lips doesn't sound inciting enough, maybe the distributor does: Victoria's Secret. Although this is a great lipstick all the way around: price, lasting, feel, wear, & of course color; I rarely wear it. Since it is fall now, I do have a reason to break it out now being that it's my only dark lip color.
[without flash]
[with flash]
It goes on very smooth and it covers well with one coat but who stops at one coat, right? LOL. It's very wearable in the sense that it's lasting, you can wear it for hours. It goes on like a deep rustic red but as you can see in the flash, it has gold undertones which I really like since it compliments me. Hope you enjoyed & thanks for reading! Be sure to comment & follow =)
