I was $22 away from becoming a VIB so these are the “fruits of my labours”! With the season of Christmas and gluttony behind me, I’m still looking at my huge basket of beauty Christmas goodies and trying to figure out where to put everything. I really don’t want to have move into a new place to accommodate all of my beauty acquisitions so I’d ideally like to wait until the Spring to buy anything from Sephora again. Let’s see if I can do it!
The Sephora by OPI 18K Topcoat was on sale so it was the last thing in my basket that gave me my free shipping! I think it’s a bit gimmicky, so I don’t think I would ever bought it at full price. I picked up one more MUFE Aqua Rouge Waterproof Liquid Lip Color this time in #2 which is a MUCH more wearable colour than the bright red and magenta that I own. I am actually comfortable wearing this colour on a daily basis. Ah, the infamous OCC Lip Tars! I picked this up in the colour Memento and even after checking out swatches on lips of Asian bloggers, this was NOT the right colour for me at all and I had to return it :-(
I will admit it. I fell for the floral blotting linen holder included in this Boscia Fashionably Matte Limited Edition Set! I have some of these in a vanilla scent and I love them, so I couldn’t resist a pack with different scents.
Hello to my very first Tarte blush!! I finally decided to try one and chose the Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Adored which is a more pigmented blush than I normally would go for, but I felt that I needed something much more exciting than what I already own. I have neutrals and corals, so now I need some Barbie pinks!
The beauty deal that was on at the time was for the Tarte Pure Marajuca Oil which I have heard some wonderful things about and cannot wait to indulge in. The rest are just perfume samples that seemed the most interesting out of the bunch.
So, I DID return the OC Lip Tar for…the Urban Decay Naked Nail Polish Set! The colours are so so gorgeous and I have always wanted a set of UD polishes to call my own. I am so excited to wear these!
And there you have it! I will miss you Sephora, but as the French say, a bientot!

I've been dying to buy the UD Naked polishes! You picked up some great goodies !
ReplyDeleteThank you! I thought so too! LOL!
DeleteIs the naked polishes expensive? I have a gift card that I am tempted to us on it. Great haul
ReplyDeleteThey were $30 for the set so that would be a GREAT thing to use a gift card for!
DeleteNice haul! I really want to try one of Tarte's blushes.
ReplyDeleteI have been liking the colour I chose so far, but I don't think it lasts 12 hours on me...
Deleteooh the Boscia set looks amazing! And I have always wanted to try a Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush... they sound so good! Can't wait to see the Urban Decay polishes on you :)

DeleteThose look like some exciting products! I am trying to resist any shopping for at least the month of January... it's hard ;( I want so many things
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so very hard...if I can keep my purchases around $200, I'm happy.
DeletePlease show swatches of the UD nail polishes- they look lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh Sara, I will try!
DeleteGreat haul! I've always wanted to try the Tarte Amazonian clay blushes but haven't because I had to return the Amazonian Foundation for breaking me out and they're both "amazonian." Can't wait to see swatches of the UD polishes :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I see why you would hesitate then...what's nice is that Sephora has such a great return policy, but I would hate to risk a breakout too :(
Deletefab haul and welcome to the VIB club lol i love the UD nail varnishes and so so want them, would lvoe to see a blog post with swatches :D

ReplyDeleteit's too bad about Memento! i was actually considering that one or Hush... :/

i'd love to see a swatch of the MUFE lip color! i was thinking of buying one and was wondering what color to get...
Actually, I'm wearing it in my review of the "All Eyes on You Set"!
DeleteMemento was just too pink on me! I looked like a blow up doll!
Great splurge! I was tempted to get those Boscia linens...the packaging it really cute!
ReplyDeleteYay Naked polish!!! <3
The packaging totally got to me on the Boscia linens...I fell for it hook, line and sinker!
DeleteLOL, how are you liking those Naked polishes? I haven't even swatched them yet!
Ooooo! I love little hauls like this! Would love to see what the OPI nail polish looks like on your nails!! Exciting.. I agree.. I need a little more Barbie pink blushes in my collection!
ReplyDeletewww.blondeebrittany.blogspot.ca
LOL, we all need more of those blushes I think!
DeleteOoh! I love that tarte blush! And those UD polishes look beautiful! It's a naked palette for your nails! x
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist the idea of having Naked polishes too ;-)
DeleteIt's funny, I thought of you when I picked up the Tarte blush!
I too am wondering where to put all my beauty products!! I am using a whole bathroom cabinet just for the new products waiting to be used... O_o So I also decided to go for a "no buy" until I clear up some of that space and finish more products! That should also be good for my credit card! lol
ReplyDeleteYou have some really nice products in that order! The UD polishes look amazing!!
LOL, I know what you mean, the lack of space is driving me crazy and it has only made me realize how much stuff I actually have!
DeleteEee I want some of those Tarte blushes!
ReplyDeleteThey're really beautiful Julie and come in some great colours with oh so cute packaging :)
DeleteOo urban decay naked nail polishes, luv to see how those look especially I'm a fan of their palettes! x
