Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Swatches

I recently ordered the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette from Sephora during their VIB Sale. I've been wanting this palette since it first came out. I always told myself I didn't need it but who was I kidding. The packaging alone made me fall in love. The fact that these shadows smell like chocolate is just heaven. I've used a couple of colors to create some looks and so far I'm loving this palette! I can't wait to use more of the colors. So far my favorite colors are Salted Caramel, Creme Brulee, and Haute Chocolate. I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing this in a monthly faves soon.

2015 Sephora VIB Sale Haul

This was my first ever VIB sale since I had just become a VIB about two weeks before the sale started! I was so excited because 20% off your whole Sephora purchase? Umm, yes please! I first went to Sephora and purchased some stuff in the store then on the last day of the sale I placed an order online. I'm so happy with everything I purchased! I've used everything already so I'll be giving mini reviews on each item.

Store purchases: Sephora Green Tea Sheet Mask. I used this a couple of days ago and it felt so amazing on my skin! Very refreshing and soothing. There was one thing I did not like about this sheet mask. After I removed it and massaged the leftover product onto my skin, it left my skin sticky. The stickiness unfortunately didn't go away.

Anastasia Brow Wiz in Caramel. This is my all time favorite brow pencil. Since I recently went blonde and bleached my brows as well, I needed something lighter so I went with Caramel and it fits my hair perfectly.
Glam Glow Tinglexfoliate Treatment. I've always wanted to try a Glam Glow mask but they're so expensive! On my way to checking out of course I stopped to look at the mini products that are there. I saw that they had smaller containers of the masks for $20 and decided to try it. I've used it about 5 times and my skin is loving it! Definitely worth the money.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Witches. I've been dying for a black lipstick but wasn't sure if I could pull it off. I had seen Witches in the store previously and debated over buying it but never did. When I saw that they still had it I had to throw it in my shopping bag. I've worn it once and am obsessed. It doesn't look crazy as I thought it would.
Anastasia Self Made Eyeshadow Palette. This palette was the whole reason I went into the store. I had seen online that my store finally had it so I rushed to Sephora the next day. It was the very last palette! I'm so glad I got there just in time to get my hands on the last palette they had. One of the workers told me it was the first and last shipment they were going to get of the palette which made me even happier. I've used this palette a couple of times and I'm in love with it. I did a blog post about it so make sure to go check that out! The shopping bad was free with any VIB sale purchase in stores.

Online order: Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette. I have been eyeing this since the moment it came out. I always told myself I didn't need it but the past three months I've been dying to get my hands on it. When I decided to place an order online I knew I had to throw this into my cart. I've used it twice and I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorite palettes! Blog post coming soon.
Make Up For Ever Step 1 Smoothing Primer. Another item i've been eyeing since it first came out. I love primers that smooth the skin and help out with pores. When I heard this was better than another primer I was previously using I knew I had to try it. It is pricy so I opted for the smaller version first since it would be my first time trying it. So far I really like it. It really does smooth out my skin and my foundation goes on a lot better.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Damned. I saw this color in the store when I purchased Witches and wanted it so bad but figured I didn't need it. I literally couldn't stop thinking about it caved and purchased it. Let me tell you, I cannot stop wearing it! I always get so many compliments when I have this on. These liquid lipsticks are becoming my fave!

Anastasia Beverly Hills' Self Made Eyeshadow Palette

As soon as Norvina was posting this on snapchat I immediately knew I had to get my hands on it! I've always wanted an ABH eyeshadow palette but they always sell out so fast. I wasn't able to get the World Traveler palette so I knew I was going to have to be fast with this one. When I saw it on the Sephora website I decided to purchase it during the VIB sale. I went to my local Sephora and just my luck, it was the last palette! I grabbed it so fast and put it in my basket. I will be doing a post on my VIB sale haul but since I placed an order online after making a purchase in store, I'm waiting for my package.

These eyeshadows are so pigmented! Since I have never used any of their eyeshadows I didn't know what to expect. I loaded up my brush and when I went to pack it on my eye I realized I had gotten too much. I'm loving this palette! I knew when I got it there was 2 shades I probably would never use and that would be Deep Purple and Isla. I'm going to try my best to step out of my comfort zone and create a look with them. My favorite colors so far are Hot Chocolate, Pink Champagne and Self-Made.

Swatches:
First picture from top to bottom: Buttery, Blossom, Blush, Witchy, Self-Made, Metallic Plum, and Pink Champagne.

Second picture from top to bottom: Hot Chocolate, Spirit Rock, Isla, Sherbert, Hot & Cold, Treasure, and Deep Purple.

October Faves

Finally gotten around to posting this! Here are my favorites for October 2015.

Freeman Mint & Lemon Clay Mask: This mask is amazing! It makes my skin feel so soft and refreshed. I like to use it twice a week.

Glam Glow Mud to Foam Cleanser: I got this in my September Sephora Play box and i'm obsessed. It's one of the best cleansers I've ever used. The one thing I don't like about it is the smell. It smells like black licorice which I hate! Even though the full size is pricey, I'm considering purchasing it.

Revlon ColorStay Whipped Creme Makeup: I remember buying this when it first came out and hating it! I recently bought it again and for some reason I'm loving it now. It is a little too pink toned for me but it sets on my skin beautifully and looks flawless. 

Sephora Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer: I purchased this as soon as it came out because I was intrigued to try it. I was a little scared that it would be oily but it's not at all. It conceals and brightens my under eye area perfectly. I've been using it everytime I do my makeup and topping it off with a little bit of MAC's Light Boost.

Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lippie in "Avenue": I am obsessed with this lip color! I wear it about 90% of the time I do my makeup. It sets so good and looks amazing. It's a great dark red color, perfect for fall. 

Essie Polish in "Spin the Bottle": This is such a beautiful color! I love nude nail polish colors so when I saw this I had to have it. It's an off white pinky color. I always go back to this color because I love it so much. 

BH Cosmetics Blushed Neutrals Palette: I purchased this palette a couple of months back cause it looked like a great fall essential. At first I wasn't really loving this because a lot of the colors aren't as pigmented when used with a brush as compared to when you swatch them. I've resorted to applying some with my fingers and the payoff is amazing. The price for this palette is something you cannot beat! If you're starting off with makeup, BH Cosmetics is definitely a site to checkout.
