Collective Haul from VIB Sale, MAC, etc

11/17/2014

My shipment for the Sephora VIB Sale finally got here. I have free flash two day shipping but so many people shopped the event it took over a week for it to get here. Although the Sephora was super nice and gave me 500 extra points because I'd had to wait. So thanks Sephora, I wasn't even going to complain but I appreciate it! So in this haul there are a few Christmas presents so they won't be swatched or talked about.

So here's the list:
Clinique Holiday Set (it's a gift though)
MAC Holiday Set Pigments Rink+Rose set
MAC Lipliner in Soar
MAC Matte Lipstick in Smoked Purple
Sephora Lipstain in 04
Philosophy Fresh Cream Body Wash, Bubble Bath and Shampoo
NARs Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla
Diorskin Star Foundation in Linen
Bumble and Bumble Prep Primer Spray
Beauty Blender Solid
Bite Best Bite Remix
YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radient Lipstick in #3 Beige Ultimate
Sephora Favorites Beauty Unmasked set
Sephora Favories Give Me Lip set

The mask set I've had for a couple weeks. I got it because I was running out of my Glam Glow Supermud and I wanted to try the hydrating one. So far it's the only one I've not tried yet lol. It comes with Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, Glam Glow Thirsty Mud, Boscia Luminizing Black Mask, and Origins Clear Improvement. My favorite is the Boscia one. It's a peel off and you have to use quite a bit of it to have an easier time peeling it off but it feels like a Biore strip for the entire face.
Next is the Philosophy Fresh Cream, I only use this as body wash but it's basically like a cupcake but not so over powering. Some people get sick when they smell cupcake or frosting smells this is very light with an after effect of a really fresh smell. Obviously Fresh Cream was a good name.
Then I got the Beauty Blender Solid. Mainly to use as a brush cleaner. As of right now I've not used it yet.

Here we have my two things I was most excited about. The Diorskin Star Foundation and NARS concealer. I just got the foundation today so I've not used it yet. I got the concealer last week to replace my MAC Pro longwear concealer. I got it in Vanilla cause when I swatched Custard it was a little too dark and Vanilla just seemed like it was the most similar to the NC20 shade that I had from MAC. So far I'm in love. I use it with my Beauty Blender and it makes me all kinds of happy. The finish is beautiful. At first I didn't think I was going to like it as good as my MAC Pro but it was because I was blending it with a kabuki brush I believe the Beauty Blender is the way to go with it.

These are some of the lip products I got. I've not use the Bite ones yet but I've used the ones from the lip set and it was a great buy.

The Give me Lip set from left to right on swatches is: Smashbox Pout lipgloss (palest pink ever almost white), Bite Lip Pencil in Meritage (muted cranberry perfect for holidays) Marc Jacobs lipgloss in Kissability (shimmery mauve), Buxom lipgloss in White Russian (cult favorite nude pink gloss), NARS lipgloss in Orgasm (reformulated from the old version and way more golden this time) Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked (my favorite from the set, perfect nude color).
