Sephora Haul


Hello everyone, I'm Lily, the other contributor to this lovely blog! So today, I went on a Sephora shopping trip because:

1. I am lucky enough to be a Sephora Beauty Insider and to have received the 15% off in store coupon.

2. I've been lusting after that Buxom lipgloss for like the past month.

3. I needed some new makeup for a wedding tonight and an upcoming banquet!

If you are as in love with Sephora as I am, you need to seriously consider becoming a Sephora Beauty Insider. They send you this nice little card, and you get emails about deals and discounts. You get a gift every year on your bday, and depending on how much you spend in the store, you get nice little samples like the Bad Gal Lash mascara I got today! They give you tons of samples to choose from like body scrubs, tinted moisturizers, and etc.

Now onto my purchases!

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips in Destiny (18.00$)
Now, I know, this is pretty pricy for a lipgloss, but ever since I tried this color on in store about a month ago, I haven't been able to get it out of my head! It's the perfect coral-pink color that has color and shine to make your lips look amazing. It also plumps lips, and I love the tingly feeling. I like it more than my Lip Venom so far, and I think it does a better job of plumping!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in S&M (16.00$)
I've been looking for a silver/gray color to do a smoky eye with, and bam! I swatched this on my hand and eyes, and I fell in love with it. Granted, it's a color you could easily find elsewhere, but the pigmentation in UD eyeshadows is amazing. I only need one or two swipes to get full, saturated color. Earlier tonight for the wedding, I did a great smoky eye with this color on the lid and black in the crease. The only thing is that there is quite a bit of fall out, so be careful with that.

Benefit Bad Gal Lash
I got this as my free sample, and I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but when I do, I'll give you my review on it.

So in conclusion, I got three amazing, quality items for approximately 30 bucks, when without my discount, it would have been close to 40 or 50 dollars. Yay for Sephora Beauty Insiders, and if you're not a member yet, sign up asap!
