Sephora VIB Haul & Mac and Chanel Goodies

Hi everyone!! I thought I would share with you what I got from the Sephora VIB Sale that happened a week or so ago. I was slow in posting this because the shipping time took a longer than usual since UPS does not process or ship anything over the weekend :\. Anyways, I wanted to show you what I got in hopes that it inspires you to look into the items, ask for them for the holiday season, or pick them up if you can (since a lot was sold out during the sale, hopefully it gets restocked!)

Dior Addict Lip Glow
 I have heard so many good things about this lip balm. It has technologies that help the balm turn into the "perfect shade of pink" for your lips. It's a pricey lip balm but I have been wanting to try it for years and finally bit the bullet. :)
Makeup Forever HD Foundation in 128 Almond
 Finally a foundation that is my EXACT match. This foundation is medium coverage and a dream to apply. Definitely one to look into since the shade range in Makeup Forever foundations have a huge range. And you can get samples from Sephora ;). I knew my shade because I did the Color IQ thing (which is so awesome btw!!) and I got matched to 128 Almond.
Laura Mercier Artist Eye Palette (Sephora Exclusive and maybe sold out...)
 Ok...who ISN'T talking about this palette right now? This palette is perfect for the holidays I think. You can create a wide variety of looks with this one palette and it's a good size for travel. This is my first Laura Mercier eye product and I can say that I'm so impressed with the quality and blendability of these shadows. :)
Benefit Cosmetics Love Fest set
This set is one heck of a deal. I mainly wanted it for the Porefessional but how can you not get this set for an extra $6. The Porefessional is $30 on its own but for $36 you get a full size They're Real Mascara, Deluxe Size of Sun Beam, and Deluxe size of the Coralista lipgloss. Plus the tin it all comes with is super cute! :D
NARS blush in Realm of the Senses
Oh...this blush is GORGEOUS!! And crazy pigmented, the first time I applied it...I went a little overboard haha. So a little goes a veryyyy long way. It was love at first application, it's such a flattering shade for my skin tone. :)

Also, I wanted to share what I got from Nordstrom. I need to restock on my MAC Cleanse Off Oil and get a darker shade of the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer (NC35). And some Chanel items I have had my eye on for a while :)

Cleanse Off Oil // Pro Longwear Concealer
I swear by this Cleanse Off Oil to remove my makeup. This is actually my third bottle of this stuff. It takes off even the thoughest of waterproof mascaras. It's the best! As far as the concealer goes, it's some heavy duty stuff. I got the darker shade for the rest of my face for spot concealing and to add that 'longwear' technolgy to my not-so long wearing foundations :)

Chanel Cream Blush in Presage
 What more can I say? haha. The beauty of this blush speaks for itself. It's gorgeous on the skin and blends like a dream on your cheeks. Definitely worth a look if you are on the market for high end blushes.
Chanel Le Brilliant Glossimer duo
This was also something I could NOT pass up. This is a Nordstrom exclusive set for the Chanel Glossimer lipglosses. The colors are so gorgeous and it comes with a makeup bag! I could not wait much longer to get this. I have this fear of waiting on holiday items haha because I feel like they will sell out quickly :O.

Well that's it haha. I know it's a LOT but it was an early grad present from myself and my mom :). It's justified... ;). Did you pick anything up from the VIB sale or any makeup purchases in general!? Let me know in the comments below. Also, any recommendations for makeup products to try...I would love to hear from you! :D

xo,
Bianca
