Sephora Haul

Image
Here is what I purchased with my Sephora VIB $20 off $50 gift card. I ended up placing two orders because on my first order I forgot to enter the gift card so I was able to use 2 sample codes (I have lots of samples) First thing I picked up was Lady Gaga Fame Gift Set, this is a xmas present from my hubby so I can't use it till xmas  This set has a 1.7 fl. oz. eau de parfum, a .34 fl. oz. roller ball and a tattoo (FYI I am not a Lady Gaga fan that is how much I like this fragrance) I also picked up 2 Clarisonic brush heads, one deep pore one and one acne brush head  The first gift code I used was for this Tarte trio (I think the code is "tartevib" for VIB members) This set came with Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil, multiplEYE Lash Enhancing Primer, and Light Camera Lashes Mascara. and then the second code was for a Kat Von D makeup bag filled with 14 samples (out of stock) so along with those 14 samples and the ones that come with your order I hav

Empties- 12/1

Here is what I finished up this week L'Oreal True Match Foundation(shade W4)-  Overall this is the best drugstore foundation that I have tried and I will repurchase I think in the winter I might try the shade  W3 or W3.5 Benefit Instant Brow Pencil-  I like this eyebrow pencil but it goes to quickly. I find myself always having to sharpen it. L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes-  This mascara was OK I like mascaras that lengthen more than add volume. I probably wouldn't repurchase this. Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish-  I didn't care for this, it left a residue on my skin. I prefer my exfolikate. BeautyMint Sculpting Treatment- HERE  is my review on BeautyMint  Tarte Amazonian White Clay Cheek Stain in The Perfect Pink-  I do like these check stains and would repurchase. They are a quick way to add color to your cheeks when you are in a rush. I am happy to have some make up items this week!

Boots No7 Beautiful Skin

Image
I didn't receive any  Boots No7 Beautiful Skin  products in my  Influenster Beauty Blogger Voxbox  (some people did), but I went out and purchase the Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanse at Ulta. This cleanser has witch hazel to help clean away shine. I have been using this cleanser for about to weeks and I think it is an amazing morning cleanser. It is a very gentle foaming cleanser and I like that it is tailored to normal/oily skin. So far so good I will keep you updated when I finish this whole bottle if I will repurchase.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Haul

Image
So it's that time of year again where we shop til we drop on gifts for our love ones(and our self too). I picked  up quite a bit this weekend, and I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. Here are a few things I purchased for myself: I took advantage of the Sephora Black Friday 10 dollar deal and purchased Buxom In the Spotlight Set and Purity Made Simple  Photos Courtesy of Sephora   I also too advantage of the  Little Black Bag  Cyber Monday Deal and the  Ojon  BOGO deal with free shipping. I am trying  to keep the shopping for myself in check but couldn't pass up theses deals. What did you buy this weekend?

This Week Empties 11/25

Here is what I used up Ulta Beauty Smoothie in Cinnamon Swirl-  This smells great I would repurchase again  Urban Decay Supercurl Mascara-  I got this in my Book Of Shadows IV and I like it. I like spiky mascara wands, don't know if I would repurchase it because for $20 I might as well pick up my tarte mascara(my fave) Perricone MD High Potency Eye Lift- I got this in my  QVC New Beauty Test Tube  and this was too small of a sample to notice a difference but the consistency was a bit too thin for me. RAW Skincare Ambiaty Eye Treatment-  This took forever to finish and I didn't notice any change around my eyes, would not repurchase this  EOS Hand Cream in Berry Blossom-  I have bought several of these EOS hand creams and will buy more  Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque-  I think that this mask does a great job of reducing my blemishes I would repurchase Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding-  I have mixed feeling about this product because I
