Mini Sephora Haul

When VIBs were able to get an extra 20% off sale items, I picked up a couple of items.

The first thing I got was the Smashbox Studio Pop Eye palette. This contains 16 eyeshadows in a variety of colors and finishes and 4 cream liners. I haven't used a lot of things from Smashbox, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying this out!

Next, I picked up a Kat Von D quad in Starstruck. I mostly wanted this for the bright red shade. I had seen some swatches and the colors are all nice and pigmented.

Lastly, and not on sale, I got a Make Up Forever Aqua Cream in shade 20. It's a bright shimmery blue and I purchased it to use as a liner.

I'll try and get swatches and reviews up as soon as I've had time to play!

NARS 500 Point Perk at Sephora

As most of you know, it's VIB sale time at Sephora through tomorrow. I was in to grab a couple items and was lucky to get the NARS 500 Point Perk. These are currently sold out online, but your store may still have them.

This comes in a super cute, black drawstring bag with the NARS logo. Inside you get a sample of the Pro Prime Pore Refining Primer, Pro Prime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base, a small Velvet Gloss pencil in New Lover, and a small (size of a NARS single eyeshadow) Orgasm blush!

It's a really great perk if you can get your hands on it!

Sephora Give Me Some Lip swatches

A couple days ago, I showed some pics of the new Give Me Some Lip gift set from Sephora. This is a set of 6 lip products; 2 of which are full size. The price is $25 USD. You can't beat that! I only swatched 4 of the 6 since the Sephora brand gloss and Fresh Sugar balm will be used in a future giveaway.

Bite Vintage is a gorgeous wine color. Great for Fall! This goes on fairly sheer, so it's nice for a quick swipe and go!

Laura Mercier Baby Doll is a shimmery light pink. LM's lip glacé is one of my fave gloss formulas and this is a great wearable color.

Hourglass Child is a peachy nude. This didn't do much to my natural lip color, but the formula is awesome! My lips felt great, moisturized during and after wear.

Finally, a Lipsurgence from Tarte in the color Hope. This is a matte warm pink. I have other Lipsurgence pencils and like them a lot, but this is my first matte formula. I haven't worn it yet and look forward to trying it!

This set is definitely worth the money and a great value!

Preview! Sephora's Give Me Some Lip gift set

I picked up this set today and haven't gotten much of a chance to try all the lip products yet. I wanted to put up a couple quick pics as I'm sure it will sell fast!

This set has 6 products from Sephora's own line, Laura Mercier, Tarte, Hourglass, Bite, and Fresh. Not bad for $25!
