It has been a long time since I stepped into Sephora and wow there was lots of new stuff like the new Marc Jacobs beauty line, Deborah Lippmann, new holiday sets, and the new Sephora Formula X. Let's just say, I could not hold my excitement when I saw all the sparkling nail polishes before me. Holycow, yall need to see their new Formula X nail polish line in store now if you haven't already. It is a massive new collection. I wanted to dump half of them in my basket. Must check it out.
I purchased the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush palette ($42) and I'm stoked! It's not even Christmas yet and I'm already spoiling myself. The packaging is gorgeous and it comes with a cuff bracelet with a gold accent bow. I don't care for the bracelet and quite frankly, I would have preferred that they glued it on the palette. I find it to be too bulky the material feels stiff and it would have just looked better on the palette.
I bought the Tarte stop and stare 6 pc eyeliner and lash set ($39). It comes with 3 eyeliners, 2 eyeshadow pencils, and a mascara. The colors are beautiful! I purchased this as a birthday gift for my friend. I'm dying to get a set for myself as well but I guess that'll be for another day.
The new Sephora 12 Hr Eye Pencils ($9) have been under my radar for some time now and I initially picked up 4 shades in my basket but when I was ready to check out, I was way over my budget already so I only kept one...the one my daughter wanted to keep, ugh!
Hello, just bite me already! I have been drooling over this Bite Beauty Best Bite set ever since I saw it on Sephora's website. This set of 4 lip pencils is priced at only $25.00. What a bargain!
And lastly, 2 new Formula X nail polishes. Priced at $12.50 each, at this point I can only afford 2 at a time without breaking the bank :( but I will be back for more!
And lastly, I redeemed 250 points for a mini Flower Bomb perfume. Another pick from my daughter. So that is it for me. No more Sephora shopping until they have the VIB sale and I need to revisit my wishlist.
When was the last time you went to Sephora? Did you pick up anything or will you add any of these to your wishlist?
OK, it's official. Great minds think alike. 2 hours ago I was looking at those epic Formula X polishes and not only did we pick out the exact same polishes(or the ones I liked the best) but I was also looking at those lip balms! Double win! They look even more gorgeous in the bottle, but the only thing I'm worried about is the chipping as that's what a lot of people have said. As for that cuff on the blush palette, maybe you can do a bit of DIYing and put it on the palette? :D
ReplyDeleteNoway! hahah that's cool though. I think the Bite lip set feels more like a lipstick than a balm. I could probably glue that cuff on the palette but I actually prefer to just let it be because it makes storing it easier.
Deleteoooo or since you know if fits around the palette use it to make sure it stays closed during travel? :) Mehh I'm not really into lipsticks so I guess I'll pass on those then :/
Deleteunfortunately the cuff doesn't fit all the way around the palette. It's a bit smaller.
Deletethe formula x polish bottles look HUGE lol. I hope to see swatches of them soon :)
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I'm not a huge fan of the bottle but I guess it's what's inside that matters :D
DeleteOmg...the nail polish in thunder is amazing! Holy, I can see that layered over a blue or a black and being soo damn awesome! Can't wait till you swatch them!
ReplyDeleteShould be posting swatches soon :)
DeleteI saw the polishes in person and I so want to get my paws on them.
ReplyDeleteI was seriously drooling over them haha
DeleteI <3 Sephora!!! I am so wanting that Tarte blush palette, I wish they had it out when I was over there! I am actually drooling over it haha since I wanted to try out their blushes but only bought one because I had too many other things to buy. And that Bite beauty set is awesome!! But seriously those nail polishes are soo pretty. I'm in the worst nail polish rut at the moment, I need to get into doing my nails again! xx
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things I plan on getting on the VIB sale. I have a feeling I'm going to break the bank :S
DeleteWhoa, those Tarte sets look amazing!!! What a great haul :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think Tarte always put out great holiday sets.
Deleteyup I totally feel on you this. Sephora always robs me of my money lol. Especially hard to resist now because of all the sets that are out for the holidays. I've been dying to get my hands on the tarte blush palette, the colours are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletexoxo, charlene
I just love shopping for makeup around this time of the year because of those fun holiday sets :D
