Kat Von D Splurge on Sephora.com

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been posting much recently. My computer isn't working properly, so I haven't been able to update my blog. But I've been keeping busy swatching lots of new goodies to show you all once my computer is back up and running. In the meantime, I was able to use my boyfriend's computer to bring you this post! I just couldn't wait to show you my Kat Von D purchase!!
 
 
Kat Von D Autograph Pencil
(Eyegasm, Immortal Love, and Puro Amor)
Retail $18.00 on sale for $9.00 each!
 
 
Eyegasm
 
 
Immortal Love
 

Puro Amor
 
I love these pencils-especially Eyegasm and Puro Amor! The creamy formula glides on easily and has great color payoff! I was amazed by the quality of these after reading reviews from the Cosmetics Cop. I 100% trust her expert opinion on skincare, but since make up is a bit more subjective I feel we don't tend to always agree. The packaging on these pencils is gorgeous-I love the flower design. Plus the smudge tip is a bonus! I'm also not bothered that these pencils require sharpening since they come with their own sharpener. 

 
Kat Von D Triple Threat Tattoo Liners
Retail $39.00 on sale for $26.00!
 
This set comes with three tattoo liners-Poetica (bold chiseled tip), Saint (skinny tip), and Sinner (medium tip).

I don't use liquid liners often, I've been wanting to check out her tattoo liners for a while now and thought this set was a great way to try them out. I love that this set has multiple size tips to create any look you desire.
 
 
Free Gift With Purchase: Festive Cheery Endurance Sample Bag with 8 samples 
 
I actually kind of like this bag! I thought I wouldn't like the material and wasn't crazy about the pattern, but it's much nicer in person.

 
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion-Anti-Aging, Lancôme Tresor Eau de Parfum, Ojon Color Sustain Pro Fade-Fighter Weekly Conditioner Treatment, Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius Waterproof Topcoat, Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara, Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick, Ren Hydra-Calm Cleansing Milk, and Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Dark Spot Correcting
 
This was one of four Holiday Sample Bags featuring 8 samples that VIBS could choose as their gift with a $25 purchase. I chose this set because it was the one set that I felt I'd get the most use of out of the products offered. However, I won't currently get use out the Ojon treatment since my hair isn't colored. But I've been thinking of going back to red, so maybe in the near future I can try it out! I've also been really wanting to try some products from Anastasia, Smashbox, and Kat Von D, so this will be a great chance to finally try some new items out.
 
 
Free Samples: Burberry Brit Rhythm Eau de Toilette Spray, Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Eau de Toilette Spray, and Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Libre Eau de Toilette
 
I didn't care for many of the samples offered this time around so I ended up getting some Men's cologne samples which I will have to pass on.

Are you a fan of Kat Von D? If so, what's your favorite product?
If not, what's your go-to brand?

Sephora Beauty Splurge Pt. V

 My Sephora purchases have only increased since becoming a VIB!! From August 12-18th Sephora had a promotion offering double points for Beauty Insiders, triple points for VIBS, and quadruple points for VIB Rogue Members! No surprise that I took advantage and made a few Sephora purchases! Here's the first of three purchases I made during the promotion!!
 
 
Sephora Beauty Haul #5
 
 
Hello Kitty Wild Thing Makeup Palette
Retail $34.00 on sale for $17.00 ($200 Value)

My sister loves Hello Kitty, so I picked up this palette for her birthday next month. I was debating between this one and the Hello Kitty Tokyo Pop Eyeshadow Palette, but decided on this palette due to the size and value. It comes with 12 eye shadows, complimentary eyeliner, and matching mirror! It's too cute and she can save the tin it comes in after she's used up all the makeup!
 

 
SEPHORA COLLECTION Izak Baked Eyeshadow Palette
Retail $21.00 on sale for $13.00

I just love this palette design-the notebook style is so creative!! This will be my first time trying baked eyeshadow, so I'm super excited! Plus this will be a great palette to carry in my handbag!!
 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Professional Dual Pencil Sharpener
Retail $3.00 on sale for $1.00

This will be a great sharpener to store in my makeup bag! Plus the design is perfect for travel!!
 
 
SEPHORA COLLECTION Artist Color Box Makeup Palette
Retail $34.00 on sale for $25.00 ($145 Value)


This palette looks awesome!! It contains 24 waterproof eye shadows, six lip glosses, five eye pencils, and a double-ended applicator brush. I plan to do a follow up post with swatches!!

 
Hello Kitty Nail Art Stickers (Metallic)
Retail $4.00 on sale for $3.00

I'm also a Hello Kitty fan and want to get more into nail art. I thought these stickers were too cute and would be an easy way to decorate my nails!
 
 
Free Deluxe Sample: SEPHORA COLLECTION Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover
 
I use makeup remover on a daily basis, so I will get a lot of use out of this! Plus the size is perfect to store in my makeup bag!!
 
 
Free Samples: Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup, Bumble and bumble Gentle Shampoo, and Agave Oil Treatment
 
Urban Decay is one of my new favorite brands, so I'm stoked to try this makeup sample! And I love hair product samples since I buy hair products less frequently than makeup.
 
 
Extra Free Samples: Chloé Eau de Parfum card, Yves Saint Laurent
TOUCHE ÉCLAT - Radiant Touch
 
Sephora threw in a couple extras which is always appreciated!!
 
 
 
Reward Deluxe Samples (100 points each): Alterna Caviar CC Cream for Hair 10-in-1 Complete Correction, Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday Lacquer -Glitter (in Happy Birthday),  and Marc Jacobs Beauty Highlighter- Gel Crayon
 
This is the first time that I've redeemed my reward points-Sephora had some fantastic rewards!! I've been eyeing some of Alterna's Caviar hair products, so I'm stoked to get my hands on their CC Cream! I was also thrilled to grab a Deborah Lippmann polish since I've been dying to try her polish since I've seen swatches of The Mermaids Collection! I was a bit bummed to miss out on the deluxe sample of the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, but I picked up the Marc Jacobs Gel Crayon in it's place. I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to try out this brand new beauty line! And I love the eyeliner-it glides on smoothly and has intense color payoff!
 
Do you like to use makeup palettes or individual cosmetics? If you use palettes, do you come up with looks using just the colors in a single palette or do you combine multiple palettes to create the perfect look?
