Haul: Sephora Friends and Family

I am pretty sure you all know that Sephora had their friends and family sale that ended last week. I waited till the last day to make my purchase as I wasn't even planing on making a purchase until I remembered that Sephora has most of the Holiday kits up for sale. Since I was already getting 20% percent off I used Ebates to get an additional 4% cash back so I thought "why not?". I did pick up a few other items along the way but none the less I am excited for everything.

My order came on Wednesday but I didn't have time to blog so it is a little late. My husbands been gaming too so I haven't been able to upload pictures as fast as I would like either. I do have to warn you that this post is pretty picture heavy so if you don't like that I am sorry. Now, on to the haul.

As always with sephora packaging theres sample on the top with your invoice. I received a sample of Givenchy Mister Light, Clarins Double Serum, Korres Greek Yoghurt and a sample of a boscia moisturizer.

Heres a quick overview of all the items I purchased. Minus the birthday present from Sephora.

I am pretty sure everyone who loves Sephora knows how the benefit samples look like. But if you don't already know then here's a quick look at what you get. Included is a mini Benefit they're Real mascara and a mini Watts Up.

 I know a lot of people were excited for this face palette but I'm on the fence about it. I don't own any NARS blushes other than one of their eyeshadows but I am going to hold on to this palette and try it out anyways.

The only thing I have to say about this item is that I don't know what's what. The only thing I do know is that the bronzer on the bottom left hand corner is Laguna. On the back of the packaging it list all the names of the products included but I honestly don't know which ones Orgasm, Deep Throat, Goulue, Devotee, or Mistinguette. I think the top right hand corner is Orgasm and the one under that is Deep Throught but I'm not sure. Basically, unless you're a die hard fan of NARS you'll probably be like me and not know which one's which.

This was a random item I added because I wanted to try them and it is the Make Up For Ever Ever Lasting Liners set. This set includes three full size aqua eye liners in 0L which is the black, 25L which is a brown and 3L which is a navy blue. It also comes with three mini liners in 23L which is a flesh tone shade, 20L a forest green and 11L a deep plum purple.

 I found it odd that it came packaged this way. Don't you? The liners where just folded up in black tissue paper and then thrown inside the box. However, I am still super excited to try these.

This bad boy here is the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette. If I am correct I think this came out last holiday but it was on sale for only $39 which was originally priced at $52. It was too good of a deal for me to pass up so I added it to my cart.

This palette includes 10 shadows, two bronzers, a blush, a mini blush brush, and a mini of their shadow insurance. All this for $39, 20% off of that, and an additional 4% cash back is a deal buster for me.

My last item is my main item that I am most excited for. It is the Tarte cheek palette. If you follow my blog then you know that I made a Tarte order a few months ago. Well my son recently decided to play with my blush stash and broke all my Tarte blushes so this was my only option to get the most bang for my buck and get to try a few more of their blushes.

The palette came with super cute bow bracelet/cuff which is almost too small to fit my wrist. Super cute packaging always gets me so good job Tarte!

The blushes included are in the shades Crave, Dazzled, Darling, and Dollface. The last one is actually their bronzer in Park Ave Princess. Crave is a coral-y pink, Dazzled is a sparkly mauve-y shade bordering a berry color, Darling is a medium coral-peach and Dollface is a bright pink. Park Ave Princess is a matte brown that seems like a shade between a deep brown and a medium brown.

That is all for my haul! I hope you enjoyed my quick post and I will be doing reviews of these items in the future so look out for them.

HAUL: Ulta Friends and Family 2013

I finally had my Ulta friends and family sale order come in today so I thought I would show you before I ended up putting it off or forgetting. Since it already took a whole week to get to me I thought I would haul it before I forgot.

Anyways if you didn't already know Ulta had their friends and family sale which is 20% off your entire purchase. Plus if you ordered over $50 worth of merchandise you got free shipping so it was already a nice deal if your purchase was more than $50. I didn't go crazy at Ulta because Sephora was having their friends and family sale too so I left a little cash for Sephora. I ended up getting only two things from Ulta but I am super excited about them both.

I have never ordered from Ulta's site so I was pretty impressed with their packaging. My order was definitely safe inside this overstuffed box.

My entire order. Pretty small but very excited to start digging into these goodies!

This is the main item I was excited to get. I love Tarte and I'm thinking about getting most of Tarte's Holiday collection this year. The packaging is extravagant and I am sucker for pretty packaging. This baby right here is the Tarte Gorgeous Getaways set. Valued at $433 but retailed at and amazing deal of only $48.

The set comes with 4 quads and 4 blushes.

For some odd reason Spontaneous(blush in top right hand corner) had a white cast. Maybe it's just my flash?

The set as a whole.

Stated above the set has four interchangeable quads + blush that can be put inside the gold bow palette.

Cutest packaging ever!

Full size Tarte glosses in When In Rome, New York Minute, and Czech Me Out.

I think I would have loved this set even more if the lip glosses could fit inside the little bow clutch palette. I am not complaining I am just stating my personal preference but I do really like the set.

 

I am pretty sure you already saw my second item but it is the Lorac Rockin' Red Hot Pro set. This set is valued at $133 but sold as $39.

 

 

 

 I'm pretty sure its only a baby size but included is the Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer. The tube feels very light. Almost as if there's nothing inside and when I squeeze the bottle you can tell it's mostly air.

Also included in the kit is the Lorac Front Of The Line Pro Eyeliner. I am pretty sure this is full size but don't quote me on that.

And lastly is the palette itself. I've heard so much about this palette so I thought I would try it out!

As stated by almost all beauty gurus on youtube there are 8 matte shades on top and 8 shimmer shades on the bottom row.

 

As for the samples I received a random pack of samples. As shown down below.

 



Foil packet of hand cream???

DDF Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew???

And last is a sample of Olay PROx Spot Fading Treatment.

And that is everything that I purchased from Ulta's friends and family sale. If you have haul please link it down below because I would like to see what everyone else purchased. Thanks for reading!
