Sephora V.I.B & Spree

Hello!

First, I am going to talk about Sephora's rewards program. At the checkout, Sephora associates always ask "Are you a beauty insider with us?" Basically, if you sign up for the Beauty Insider card, it tracks your order in store and online and for every dollar you spend, you will get 1 point. When you get 100 points, you will get to choose one deluxe sized prize. If there's nothing you want, you can continue to rack up points for their 500-point prize which is a selection of 4-5 deluxe sized prizes.  Might not sound all that great, but they have great things to choose from, usually their best-sellers (like Laura Mercier, NARS, Makeup Forever, etc). They give you a free gift for your birthday too!

Sephora also a V.I.B. program (stands for very important beauty insider). Once you spend $350 in a year, you automatically qualify to be a V.I.B. You still get the same point system and prizes for 100 points and 500 points, BUT there are also other little perks, like when you first qualify, you get a complimentary 10% off. Then around Oct/Nov, you get a shopping pass for 20% off. They will also send you emails showing you exclusive products for VIBs only. And you get invited to their private events. :)

From Nov 10th-14th, Sephora just had 20% off for their VIBs. And here are some photos of things I picked up. I bought some of these things from their store and some online.

Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencils

The first 5 came in a set for only $34!

You can use this as a base for powder eyeshadow

or wear it by itself. It's waterproof and really stays on so long!

Clinique Chubby Sticks (love the name!)

These are great! They are light-weight, moisturizing an

 have a sheer yet pretty hint of color.

Urbanc Decay 24-7 liquid liner

love love love this color!

This photo doesn't do this product justice. It's so glittery in person and

just so pretty! Will make for a great holiday makeup look.

Tokidoki compact mirror. I am so in love with this! It's pretty

heavy, but I like that. Feels sturdy.

The Sephora 55 Brush. My absolute fave foundation brush!

I've heard great things about the Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes,

but I'm just not one to buy really expensive mascara, especially since

I'm always disappointed... (my fave is CoverGirl LashBlast!). However,

when I saw this little kit, which has the fullsized ArtLiner and Doll Lash

Mascara AND a mini-sized mascara primer, for only 29.50, I knew

I had to get it! I'm hoping none of these products disappoint!

I also got the twin pack of the delicate face brushes for my Clarisonic.

I will do a review on what I think of the Clarisonic one day. I have mixed feelings.

So now, on to some random things. My friend had just recently come back from a trip to Vietnam and she was so kind to pick me up some makeup! Here's a photo!

In Asia, they have these packs of eyelashes... 10 pairs for $2!! So cheap!

I have yet to try them. My friend said they feel a tad bit uncomfortable just

because they are a little stiffer, but I want to try for myself and see if I can make

them more bearable. We shall see. She also got me a really pretty Boujour blush

in a peachy/pink shade and an eyeshadow palette!

Another friend of mine recently gave me an Urban Decay NAKED palette! L O V E !

I love this palette! So pretty and all the colors are wearable! Great for travel too!

Okay, I will be ending this post here. Thanks for stopping by. Hope everyone is enjoying their week. Oh! I ordered a new traincase for all my makeup, so that will probably be my next post. 

<3 you all,
