Sephora Sale Splurge

Evening Mermaids! Sephora had a special promo to get two deluxe samples instead of one, so I decided to pick up a few things in the sale section!

Disney Collection Ariel Whatcha-Nail-Callit 6 Piece Nail Set

Retail $24.50 on sale for $17.00!

I missed out on the limited-edition Storybook Palette, so I decided to finally snatch up the nail polish set while it was still available! I love The Little Mermaid so much, and this set just thrills the Polish Junkie in me! I will be doing a separate post with the complete set of swatches at a later point.

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Purifying Cleansing Gel

Retail $12.00 on sale for $5.00!

This cleanser was such a good value for the price-I can't wait to try it out!

 

Formula X For Sephora Duo Pack- ASAP Real Nail Lacquer Appliques

Retail $10.00 on sale for $5.00!

I decided to pick up another pack for my sister, Erica, since the price was too good!

 

100 Point Perk Reward: Formula X For Sephora New Neutrals

I chose this because I've been wanting to try Sephora's new nail lacquer line and thought this would be the perfect neutral shade!

  

Free Deluxe Samples: Chloe See By Chloe Perfumed Body Lotion & Hanae Mori Hanae Mori Butterfly Body Lotion

I picked the Chloe See By Chloe Perfumed Body Lotion to go with the perfume. And the Hanae Mori Body Lotion packaging just looked too cute!

Sephora Beauty Splurge Pt. VI

From August 12-18th Sephora was offering VIBs triple points. 

Today I will be sharing with you my second of three purchases!

 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Full Speed Ahead Traincase

Retail $110.00

 

 

I have been wanting a traincase to store all my beauty essentials for a while now, but have been waiting for one that I'd really love! And I absolutely love this one!! The design is so sleek and edgy!! This was a big purchase for me since it's the most expensive item I've purchased since buying my Clarisonic, but it's another investment piece. I know I will get great use out of this, so it's definitely worth the money to me.

 

 

I have beauty items littered all over my apartment, so it's about time I finally get organized by storing them all in one place! This traincase is the perfect size to store my stash with it's multiple compartments! Plus it comes with a shoulder strap to make it easy to carry on the go!!

 

 

The bottom level features an adjustable compartment to store items of various size!!

 

 

 

Free Deluxe Sample: Smashbox Photo Finish More Than Primer Blemish Control 

I was thrilled that Sephora was offering this as one of five primer samples! I've been wanting to try Smashbox for some time now and was particularly happy to get this since I didn't receive a sample of the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in my Ispy bag this month.

 

 

 

Free Samples: Philosophy Full Of Promise Treatment Duo, Chloe Eau de Parfum Spray, and Ole Henriksen Perfect Truth CC Crème in Light
 

I think the Philosophy sample was put in to replace another another sample I had chosen, but I can't remember what that was now. I wasn't interested in receiving this item, so I'll just pass it on to a friend. I do really like the scent of the Chloe perfume and the full size bottle looks lovely, but I have so much fragrance that I probably won't purchase it unless it goes on sale. I'm also excited to try out the Ole Henriksen sample since it's a new brand for me and I like trying out new cc crèmes.

Do you own a traincase? If so, does it fit all your beauty essentials and do you carry it around?

 If not, how do you like to store your cosmetics?

 

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?
