Sephora Haul

I recently purchased some items from Sephora and I had to share it with you!  I'm going to consider it gift shopping (that makes it better right? lol).  I purchased two items as a gift for my secret santa and the others were gift for myself (it is my birthday month after all).
 

The first thing I had to buy was the Becca Glow on The Go Shimmering Skin Perfector® Moonstone Set. It's a gift set of two of the Becca highlighters for only $20. You get travel size versions of Shimmering Skin Perfector Spotlight Wand and Pressed Powder and both in the color Moonstone.  It is awesome because it doesn't contain any sulfates or phthalates.  I've been looking for a really good highlighter, so I'm super excited to try this out.


I have also been loving face makes recently and wanted to try out some sheet masks. The Sephora
Collection Face Mask - Pomogranate is only $6 and is fiber mask that awakens, energizes and tones the skin for a fresh appearance. The mask is paraben free and not tested on animals.


The other mask I got was the the Primary Raw DoYou 2-Step Milk Peeling Kit and it's also $6. This mask set is great for all skin types and really helps with dullness, uneven texture, pore, fine lines and wrinkles.. It's a two step kid that comes with an exfoliating swab and a sheet mask. The swab is pre-soaked with a blend of lactic acid and botanical extracts to gently peel away dead skin cells. The soy-milk infused sheet mask, enriched with green tea and rosemary leaf, to help lock in moisture. After treatment, your skin appears instantly brightened and rejuvenated. This mask set is paraben, suflate, synthetic dye, mineral oil and
phthalete free.


Lasty, as I mentioned it was my birthday month, so I got to choose a birthday gift. I choose a Marc Jacobs Beauty mini makeup set. It came with a travel size version of their Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Blacquer and Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I am really excited to try out these products.

What was your latest makeup haul? Did you get a new lipstick at CVS or an eye shadow palette from Sephora? Let me know!

December Ipsy Bag and Discount Codes



Yay, my December Ipsy came and I am here to share it with you and give you some discount codes.  This month's bag is super cute as well.  It's this glittery, fushia faux fur and reminds me a wristlet that you can use instead of a purse for a holiday event.


The Symphony Beauty Snow Cream Moisturizer was the first thing I pulled out of the bag. It's a whipped gel moisturizer that includes vitamin E to nourish your skin. The full size is currently $19.99 and this sample has a value of $1.99.

OUAI Wave Spray was next in the bag. This is a weightless mist gives volume to your hair without using salt (which can dry out your hair). It's also paraben free and never tested on animals.  Use code GETOUAIED for a free travel-size repair shampoo & conditioner with a $45 purchase.  The full size is $24.00 and this sample is worth $4.80.  





I was really excited to pull the Tarteist™ glossy lip paint in WCW out of the bag. This berry color nourishes and soothes dry lips. It has conditioning serum to hydrate lips and is super
pigmented.  Use code IPSYDEC to get 20% off your next purchase.  The full size size is $20 and this sample is valued at $3.33.


I'm also excited to try out the Make Moonlight Primer.  This primer blocks the high energy visable light that comes from things like computers and phones that can lead to premature againg and skin damange.  It also includes marine algae to block your skin from pollution.  Plus it has a cool black color that dissapears once you smooth it on.  Use the code MOONLIGHT25 to get 25% off your purchase.  The full size primer costs $55 and this sample is valued at $.7.14.

Lastly in the bag is City Color Cosmetics Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon, Blackberry, and Guava. These ultra fine powders are very pigmented and are great to mix. .Use code IPSYBeMatte to get 50% this blush.  These three blushes have cost $11.97  and the sample value is $3.16.


Overall I would say that this month was a great bag and a good value.  For $10 I got $20.42 worth of products and a super cute bag.  If you are looking to try out Ipsy (or just want to see what it's all about), here is the link.  Feel free to ask any questions in the comments as well!
