Sephora VIB Sale Haul 2014

Hello lovely people! I know I'm a little late to the "share what I bought during the Sephora sale" post, but better late than never! I tried to limit myself, but there were too many things I wanted to try. My friends and I stopped by the Sephora store a few weeks back and I swatched the new NARS Audacious lipsticks and knew I wanted to get at least one, so that's in this haul. 20% off is amazing for Sephora, so I wanted to get mostly NARS products.

NARS Blush - Doucer
I've been hearing rumors about Doucer being discontinued and I actually didn't even see this color displayed at the Sephora store. It's unfortunately out of stock on the website right now, but keep checking! This is a brownish pink color, that can be used as a slight contour as well as a blush. I wanted something natural, something I could wear all year round. Good luck on getting your hands on one of these!

NARS Audacious Lipstick - Rita & Charlotte
I picked two colors that I normally don't go for. Rita is described as scarlet, it's a bright red. Truthfully, I'm a bit scared to wear this. I'm trying to stray away from all the pinks and fuchsias I own. Charlotte is described as oxblood burgundy. Super dark in the tube, but once swatched, it was a gorgeous medium red with slight pink tones. This color is perfect for fall and winter. The metal packaging on these new lipsticks is so much better than the original dust-attracting ones too!

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
Needed a new cleanser and this has been in my cart for a while now, so I purchased the smaller size to try it out first. The smell is a very strong cucumber scent, not my favorite, but I can ignore that. Still testing it out for now, but I like it so far. It's a good cleanser for sensitive skin types like me.

Sephora Cream Lip Stain - 01 Always Red
I rarely buy Sephora brand, but this lip stain has such good reviews by beauty bloggers that I had to try it out myself. Do you see a red theme going on here? I've used this once so far and the color is definitely eye-catching. I like matte reds, and this one didn't feel drying, which is a huge plus.

What did you buy during the Sephora sale? And have you tried any of the products I mentioned above? :)

Beauty Haul #1

I really don't understand where this urge to shop comes from, but it needs to stop. Right now. But first, a mini haul. I didn't buy these at the same time, but I decided to just save them into one haul. The Body Shop was having a 40% off sale the whole online store, so I decided to pick up some things I've been eyeing. AND Sephora was having a 15% off sale, which we all know is rare. It was just too good to say no.

The Blueberry Body Butter was one of the first things I ever bought from the Body Shop when I was still in middle school. Oh my god, I sound so old. But I've loved the smell for a long time and I was so sad when they discontinued it. They recently brought it back and added other products to the line, such as the Blueberry Body Lotion, body scrub, and lip balm. It's not too strong and it's a mixture of fruity and floral scents. I don't know how blueberries smell like, but probably not like this. Anyways, it doesn't matter, it smells good to me.

This Early Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub is a brand new line from the Body Shop. This looks EXACTLY like jam. It looks so yummy, but don't eat it. This smell is definitely more tart than the blueberry one. There are actual seeds in there too.

I've always been into skin care, but recently I noticed my skin seemed to have more lines. I know I'm only twenty-three, but it's never too young to start taking care of your skin. Serums are an important step of any skincare routine, and I wanted something effective, but not too expensive. I wanted to try out the Vitamin E Moisture Serum and Aloe Protective Serum both, so I've been using the Vitamin E one at night and the Aloe one in the morning. First impressions: I like the Vitamin E more, mostly because of the smell. The Aloe serum has a weird smell. I'll let you guys know how they work out after I've tested them longer.

Cleansing oils are all the rage right now. Every single brand seems to have one. This Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil is a new addition to the Camomile line. I haven't used it yet, but it smelled divine, just like flowers.

My picture doesn't do it justice, but I'll probably do an in-depth review of the powder soon, so I won't say too much. I'm late to the game with the Ambient Lighting Powder, but better late than never right? I got the shade Dim Light, which is a peachy beige color (I can't believe it's sold out on the Sephora website right now). The Veil Mineral Primer is the silkiest primer I've ever tried. It glides onto your skin so smoothly, it feels like nothing. It is quite pricey, but it's worth every penny.

Is there anything you've been wanting to try? Or anything you want me to go more in-depth about? Let me know!
