2017 Sephora VIB Sale Haul ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Happy thanksgiving! I'm so excited for today's post. I'm going to be showing you guys what I purchased during this years Sephora VIB sale! I'm so close to becoming a VIB Rouge which honestly scares me haha. Let's get into what I purchased!

Sephora Favorites: Prime, Set, Go: When I saw this on the website I knew I had to have it! I've tried a couple of these primers already and loved them! The other primers that were in this that I haven't tried, I've been wanting to so of course I had to purchase this! This is also great for gifting to someone.
Beauty Blender Swirl: I'm constantly buying beauty blenders cause I love them so much and use them so often. When I saw this cute swirl one I had to have it!
Commodity Rain Perfume: I love trying out new perfumes so when I went into the store the display for this brand caught my eyes. It was so simple yet so chic. I sprayed a couple and fell in love with this scent! It is now my everyday perfume and I always get asked what fragrance I'm wearing.
Violet Voss Holy Grail eyeshadow palette: I have been dying to buy this palette ever since it came out. Now that Sephora carries Violet Voss I decided to purchase it online. This palette is $45 and I didn't want to spend that much without ever trying shadows from this brand so the sale was the perfect time to purchase it!
Boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel: My best friend works at Sephora and she used this on me once and I was so amazed at how easily it took off dead skin and dirt! It's seriously such a great exfoliator that will get everything off of your face.
Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto Beautifying Lip Balm: I got this in one of the limited edition luxury play boxes and fell in love! It's such a great lip balm. It plumps your lips but doesn't burn, gives them a nice pink tint, and makes them so soft!
Sephora Cleansing & Exfoliating Charcoal Wipes: I love Sephora's exfoliating wipes! I usually get the green tea ones but decided to switch it up and get the charcoal ones this time.

That's everything I got from this years VIB sale! Let me know what you guys got, I'd love to know. Thank you so much for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Warm Glitter Cut Crease ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be telling you about the products that I use to create this warm glitter cut crease. I got so many compliments on this look when I wore it! Let's get right into the products.

♡foundation: Fenty Beauty Foundation in 190
♡concealer: Tarte Shape Tape in Light
♡eyes: Violet Voss Holy Grail palette (Thanks A Latte, Transition, and R U Kitten Me), Colourpop Supernova Shadow in Firecracker, NYX Matte black liner, Dior Diorshow mascara
♡lashes: Killa Beauty lashes in Maria

That's it for today's look. It was my first time trying out one of the new Colourpop Supernova Shadows and wow they are gorgeous! I can't wait to buy more. I will say, if you are cutting your crease make sure you set the concealer with powder before applying it. You don't need to cut your crease with a concealer though, you can go right in and cut it with the applicator of the shadow! Thank you so much for reading, hope you enjoyed

Play! by Sephora The Beauty Remedy Edition ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! I've meant to post this for a couple of weeks now but kept forgetting. Sephora came out with another luxury edition of their play boxes and I purchased it. It was called the Beauty Remedy edition and it was $20. This one was wayyyy better than the last one! I absolutely love each product that came in the box. Let's get right into what I received. 

Giorgio Armani Beauty Ecstasy Shine 400: This is such a gorgeous red lipstick! I can't bring myself to use it cause it looks so perfect.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Primer: I have been dying to try this but the price definitely scares me haha. I'm so glad this was included in the box because I finally get to try it! It's an amazing primer. It's a good size so it'll last me a while and I can contemplate buying the full size.
Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto Beautifying Lip Balm: I fell in love with this product after using it once! It makes my lips feel so soft. It does claim to plump and it does but it doesn't burn your lips at all. You feel a cooling sensation not a burning one which is great! I bought the full size during the VIB sale, that's how much I loved it.
Amore Pacific Vintage Single Extract Essence: I was shocked at how generous in size this was! It's like a true travel size that you'd purchase. I love this essence. It makes me skin feel so soft and hydrated.
La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream: I've never tried a La Mer product and never thought I would haha. When I saw this in the box I freaked! It's an amazing moisturizer. It's thick so it'll take a while to soak into your skin but wow it's so good!
Atelier Cologne Santal Carmin Pure Perfume: I love perfumes and this scent is right up my ally! It's also a nice size.

This box was seriously so good I'm still shocked! For $20, it was definitely worth it. If you have the chance to purchase their limited edition play boxes, please do so! Thank you so much for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Colourpop 20% off sale Haul ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Last week Colourpop had a 20% off site wide sale so of course I ordered a couple of items. Ugh, I love Colourpop so much! I order from them at least twice a month which I wish I could stop but I can't haha. Anyways, let's get into the items that I purchased!

Large empty eyeshadow palette: I own one of these and it's seriously the best empty palette ever! I used to store all my shadows in the MUFE XL empty palette but transferred the ones that fit into this one. I knew I needed another one to put some more of my shadows in so I went ahead and got it.
Small tapered brush E9: I have a couple of their brushes and they work so well for being so affordable so I went ahead and picked up one of their new ones! I like how they have the style of the brush on the handle now.
My Little Pony x Colourpop Cherries Jubilee super shock shadow: When this first launched I thought it was so gorgeous but I convinced myself I didn't need anything from this collection. It came back in stock and since it was a sale I decided to purchase it.
Now and Zen single shadow: Ugh this shade is so gorgeous!! I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of it.
Snake Eyes single shadow: Another gorgeous shimmer shade. I swear, Colourpop makes some of the best shimmer shades ever!
Supernova Shadow in Firecracker: Colourpop just came out with these stunning liquid glitter shadows and of course I had to get one to try out! I can't wait to use it and see if I like the formula.
Ultra Matte Lippie in Speed Dial: I love orange lips and when I saw this shade (even though I have similar ones) I had to have it!

That's all for today's blog post. I do plan on doing a November favorites since I haven't done a favorites in so long! So hopefully you'll be seeing some of the products in my favorites. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

October '17 Birchbox ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! I'm super excited about today's blog post because it's something new to me. I recently subscribed to Birchbox! If you're not familiar with Birchbox, it's a monthly beauty subscription box that's been around for years. It's $10 a month. I've been wanting to subscribe to it forever but never got around to it. The first box I've got is the October 2017 one. Let's jump right into what I got!

THEME: Behind the Scenes
[comfort zone] Hydramemory Cream Gel: This is a cream moisturizer basically. I love drying out new face creams so I'm pretty excited to see how this works for me.
Davine's LOVE Smoothing Shampoo: This is perfect because I'm actually looking for a new shampoo and conditioner at the moment. It claims to help with frizz which is something I need in hair products!
Davine's LOVE Smoothing Conditioner *bonus*: So this is a little bonus product in the box. It's the conditioner to go along with the shampoo. Conditioner is something I cannot live without.
Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner - Black: I don't branch out when it comes to eyeliners, when I like something I stick to it. But, I'm excited to give this a try, maybe it'll become one of my go-to liners.
Lavanila The Healthy Fragrance Pure Vanilla Eau de Parfum: Love getting perfume samples! It allows me to try various fragrances without paying a steep price.
OUAI Rose Hair & Body Oil: I love anything rose so I already know I'm going to love this! I like using hair oils as well so this is something I'll get use out of.
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Envious *bonus*: To be honest, I threw this away. It was a tiny bit of lipstick in a peel away foil. The color was gorgeous though!

Overall I think this was a decent box with some pretty useful items. I'm excited to see what the next box brings me. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
