Sephora Spring 2015 VIB Sale


Yello!

This is my first post since, forever. So, these are my Sephora haul:
 


Although I live in Portugal now, I have the items sent to a friend in New York (HATE the state tax). So, I don't have the items with me, here. They will probably arrive in May. But most of these are repurchase and couple of backups. The new things (newly launched and new for me) are Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil, KvD Liquid Lipstick, Dior Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum and Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup, I had wanted this foundation since FOREVER, but they don't have my shade here in Portugal (went to a Douglas store and the choice of shades were so poor). Sephora also has this little promotion going with the Estée Lauder foundation, you can add $10 on top of the foundation and they throw in a nice little set containing a deluxe sample of Advanced Night Repair (0.24 oz), a travel sized Matte Perfecting Primer (a decent 0.5 oz) and a foundation brush. The set is called Estée Lauder Perfect Match Double Wear Makeup Kit. I mean, it's a no brainer there. Oh and you can choose between two foundations, the Double Wear and Double Wear Light (the one in the tube). My shade is 2W2 Rattan, light to medium with warm beige. My skin tone is not too yellow but not pink either.

Sunday Riley Luna, now this one's a big ticket item and quite an investment. God, I hope it agrees with my skin!! I have been hearing GREAT things about this product, even though it's quite new. I was about to order Good Genes, but it will probably too much for my skin, since I had just introduced the First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads and Pai Skincare Rosehip BioRegenerate Fruit & Seed Oil Blend to my night time routine. The Luna Oil contains a retinoid ingredient, I'm going to be 30 this year and I think I'm ready for that lol. The oil is BLUE, like BLUE. I think Sunday Riley's got enough shit from some people because the oil also contains a colorant on top of the blue tansy, that's… well, purple/blue ish color.

I literally have been waiting for YEARS to try Lolita on my lips! It's always out of stock! And when I got the email notifying that it's back on stock: add to cart and BUY! I have Stila Patina and love it, can't wait to compare that with Lolita.

Oh and I also bought Make UpFor Ever Rouge Artist Intense shade #27 but totally forgot to include it in the picture, oh well.  

The rest of the haul is repeat purchase. Can't live without BeautyBlender. Like seriously, I've never used a foundation brush since I got the sponge in late 2013 I think? Jack Black lip balm is the best ever and they're $7.50 each! I still have a backup and bought three. Clinique cleansing balm is great for removing makeup, my skin feels so supple and hydrated after cleansing I just want to touch my face all the time. I just opened a new jar last week and I need to have one unopened in my back up drawer so that I wouldn't lose my shit if I hit the bottom of the jar. I might try a more "high end" cleansing balm in the future, Eve Lom maybe? Or the Organic Pharmacy Carrot Butter.
