What I Bought | Sephora Beauty Insider Sale Edition

As you may or may not know, Sephora has Beauty Insider Sales biannually and this year's Spring Bonus is ending for VIB tonight at midnight. And because I am a makeup junkie who enjoys knowing what other people are purchasing and loving, I thought that I'd share with all of you what I ended up buying from the sale as of thus far. But first here is the breakdown of the discounts from the website...

Here are the goodies that I purchased for myself...

• Maison Louis Marie No.09 Vallée de Farney Perfume Oil (0.05 oz) -- $59.00
• Melt Cosmetics Slick Waterline Eye Pencil (Cacao) -- $19.00

I have the roller ball version of the Maison Louis Marie No.09 Vallée de Farney Perfume Oil, so technically it's a repeat purchase for me but I haven't tried the eyeliner from Melt Cosmetics yet. I saw it on TikTok a while back and it looked nice to tight line, so I thought I'd give it a try. The only thing that annoys me about the product is that it doesn't come in black.

I also picked up the La Mer Radiance Essentials from the Rewards Bazaar for 500 points.

Have you picked up anything from the sale? Are you thinking about picking anything up? What tier Beauty Insider are you? Or do you not care about beauty products at all? Lemme know!

What I Bought | Sephora Beauty Insider Sale Edition

As you may or may not know, Sephora has Beauty Insider Sales biannually and this year's Spring Bonus is ending for VIB tonight at midnight and Friday, May 1st for Rouge (Sorry Insiders, your sale ended already). And because I am a makeup junkie who enjoys knowing what other people are purchasing and loving, I thought that I'd share with all of you what I ended up buying from the sale as of thus far. But first here is the breakdown of the discounts from the website...

I am a Rouge (Thank you to coworkers who have me order them stuff), which means that I spend $1,000+ a year and thus I get 20% off during the sale. I also have Sephora FLASH Subscription, aka 2-day shipping (Which I paid $15.00 a year for before hitting Rouge last fall).

Now that I've confirmed that I am a ridiculous makeup addict, here are the goodies that I purchased for myself...

• Farmacy Coconut Gel Sheet Mask - Hydrating -- $6.00
• Peace Out Microneedling Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Patches -- $28.00
• Kaja Brow Blowout Fiber Gel Brow Definer -- $16.00
• The INKEY List Collagen Booster Firming Peptide Serum -- $10.99
• Shiseido WASO: Poreless Matte Primer -- $28.00

Everything I purchased were products I've never tried before. So I'm excited to play around with some new products later on this week.

What I Bought | Sephora Beauty Insider Holiday Bonus Edition

As you may or may not know, Sephora's Beauty Insider Holiday Bonus sale is going on until midnight tonight. And because I am a makeup junkie who enjoys knowing what other people are purchasing and loving, I thought that I'd share with all of you what I ended up buying from the sale as of thus far. But first here is the breakdown of the discounts from the website...

As of this sale I am a Rouge member, which means that I spend $1,000+ a year and thus I get 20% off during the sale. I also pay $15.00 a year for the Sephora FLASH Subscription, aka 2-day shipping. All which means that I have almost everyone I know asking me to order them stuff this weekend because no one else (Minus Day and Liz) spends as much money as I do at Sephora yearly.

Now that I've re-confirmed that I'm ridiculous, here are the goodies that I purchased for myself over the weekend...

• Dr. Brandt Skincare Pores No More® Vacuum Cleaner® Pore Purifying Mask -- $42.00
• Maison Margiela "Replica" Music Festival Travel Spray -- $28.00
• Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser -- $40.00

There was no makeup in this particular haul because my skin has been crazy for the past couple of weeks and I wanted to focus on skin care, plus I recently purchased the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation ($47.00) and the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer ($31.00). So I had no need for new makeup.

Wishlist | Sephora Beauty Insider Summer Bonus Edition

As you may or may not know, Sephora has Beauty Insider Sales biannually and this year's Summer Bonus for Rouge and VIB members starts this week. So I thought that I'd share my current wishlist and what I was contemplating getting from the sale. But first here is the breakdown of the discounts from the website...

In terms of wishlists, this isn't a particularly extravagant one. Like yeah, I kinda sorta want a Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer ($399.00) but I didn't find the need to put it on this list. These are all things that I want right now but I don't necessarily need.

• Maison Margiela 'Replica' (Music Festival) -- $126.00
• Kaja Cushy Vibe High-Pigment Lip Stain (Silk Robe) -- $18.00
• AMOREPACIFIC Treatment Enzyme Peel Cleansing Powder -- $60.00
• Dr. Brandt Skincare pores no more® Vacuum Cleaner® Pore Purifying Mask -- $42.00
• Kaja Beauty Bento Bouncy Shimmer Eyeshadow Trio (Glowing Guava) -- $21.00

So yeah, those are things I want but in reality I'll probably just end up getting these...

• Maison Margiela 'Replica' (Memory Box) -- $35.00
• AMOREPACIFIC The Essential Icons Set -- $62.00

In addition to the goodies above, I'm currently debating what foundation I want to get because I ran out of my Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Soft Blur ($30.00) and am currently too dark for my Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation ($64.00).

• Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Flawless Brightening Foundation -- $30.00
• KOSAS Tinted Face Oil Foundation -- $42.00
• Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Foundation -- $68.00
• Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation -- $35.00

Are you thinking about picking anything up? What foundation do you like? What tier Beauty Insider are you? Or do you not care about beauty products at all? Lemme know!

Sephora VIB 20% Sale Haul...

Since I shared my wishlist for the Sephora VIB 20% Sale with you in the beginning of the month, I figured I should show you what I actually ended up purchasing...

1. BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector® Opal Glow On The Go -- $20.00
2. Urban Decay Naked Smoky -- $54.00*
3. Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack -- $20.00 
4. Urban Decay Naked2 Basics -- $29.00*
5. Clarisonic Mia 2 Lavender Hydration Skin Cleansing System -- $149.00
6. Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (Light/Medium) -- $42.00
7. Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Hand Cream -- $15.00

If you remember my original wishlist (I don't actually expect you to remember it) you'll notice that I got four out of the nine items on it, as well as three additional items. Two out of those three are not for me (My sister asked me to buy them for her for Christmas) but I figured I'd mention them here only because I actually own and am on my second Urban Decay Naked2 Basics palette and the Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette looks nice. The Clarisonic on the other hand was a spontaneous purchase I made for myself while in the store with my mother and I'm glad I did it because I've been thinking about getting one for a long time.

Overall I'm super happy with all my purchases and love racking up Sephora points.

If any of you picked up anything during the sale I'd love to know what you got!

Sephora Wishlist | VIB 20% Sale...

As you may or may not know, I am a beauty junkie. So it should be no surprise to anyone that I am a Sephora VIB, which is a status you get once you've spent over $350 at Sephora within a calendar year (Yes, I've spent and/or suckered people into using my Sephora card when shopping to reach VIB status). So, tomorrow is the start of Sephora's annual holiday VIB 20% off sale (Which is running from November 13th through November 16th, 2015 and the code is VIB20, but it will only work if you are indeed a VIB) and as Sephora VIB I have tons of things in my shopping basket and another ton of things that I wish I could get but can't because I am not rich.

Because a girl can dream, I put together a little wishlist of thing that I would buy throughout the course of the sale. And here that is for any of you that care...

1. Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (Light/Medium) -- $42.00
2. Commodity Magnolia -- $99.00
3. Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo: Total Transformation Kit -- $78.00
4. Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick (Damned) -- $20.00
5. Tocca Beauty Meet The Girls Fragrance Collection -- $62.00
6. Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Hand Cream -- $15.00
7. BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector® Opal Glow On The Go -- $20.00
8. Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask -- $26.00
9. Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack -- $20.00

I am definitely purchasing the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (Light/Medium) because I have it in a darker shade and I absolutely love it but my tan has faded and the darker shade is looking a bit too dark on me right now, so I NEED it in the lighter shade.

I'm also getting the Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack mask because I've used their sheet masks before and I wanna try this out. And I'm going to pick up the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector® Opal Glow On The Go because I've had a sample of it before and think it's just beautiful. If the Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo: Total Transformation Kit available (The site claims that there are only a few left) I'll pick that up and try it because I've heard nothing but wonderful things about the Sunday Riley range of products.

Are any of you VIBs? If so, what are you purchasing during the 20% off sale? I'd love to know.
