Sephora VIB SALE Pt. 1

SEPHORA VIB SALE

It's that time of the year...the Sephora VIB Sale.
 I gathered my first set of 10 products that I think would be the most beneficial to purchase during this sale. The products vary from 20-88 dollars. These are in my opinion the ones you don't want to leave without. Some might last 3 months (Mascara) others can last years (Rice Sake Bath). I love each and every one of these products, and I cannot rave enough about them.  I also listed two tools at the bottom that are my personal favorite and I would take advantage of during this sale too. 



Peel Pads : These pads are fantastic!! I love them because if I ever travel or stay the night somewhere and know my face is going to need that extra deep exfoliation I can just take one set. They are all individually wrapped for you. There are technically two pads for each use, use both.The original peel pads have glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and malic acid. The combination of the three make for cleaning out your pores, erasing dead skin cells, which helps for support of new collagen and helping your makeup go on so much smoother, and look way better. I always receive compliments on my makeup the day after using these. I have semi sensitive skin but these pads have never bothered me. But if you do have sensitive skin and you're nervous to use these try the Sensitive Skin Pads. 

Dry Shampoo : I first became OBSESSED with Bumbles dry shampoo when they came out with the Powder Dry Shampoo. I love the smell, and the texture is AHHMAZING. The powder absorbs my oil instantly. I have had the same powder bottle for years. I do have blonde hair so the white powders do not bother me, blends right in. The Spray Dry Shampoo is brand new, and I love it as much as the powder. There are differences, I like the powder just for the cleaning purpose. And the spray for when I need volume and some clean hair in my life. 

Eyeshadow Palette : The best eyeshadow palette on this planet, and I have tried ALOT. This palette has matte colors and glitter. As a bonus it includes a travel size of the eye primer and an eyeshadow brush. I do suggest using more than this brush when applying your eyeshadow. My favorite part about this palette is that when you get your brush wet with water and use a glitter color it will intensify the color pigment on your eyelid. Every time I wear the eyeshadow this way I have someone mention my eyeshadow, it never fails. I absolutely love how versatile this palette is. And if you have ever used any eyeshadow from Smashbox you know how pigmented they are. I have had this palette for over 5 years and still no bellybuttons on the colors. This is a must have for the holidays!

Bling Bling Eyelash Curler : Every year I purchase the holiday Tarte curler. Which includes their mascara. Normally this duo is 18 dollars, but the blinged out one is only 20. that's 2 more dollars for the added sparkle. Tarte doesn't sell pad replacements because after it is dull, its time for a new one. The mechanics of the curler itself need to be replaced as well-every year. In all honesty, I thought this was ridiculous than I thought I use this curler everyday, twice a day (one for each eye). 

Sparkle Mascara : LOVE LOVE LOVE this mascara!! This mascara is included with the curler from above. I have pretty average eyelashes, meaning they need it all. Lengthening, thickness & volume, and the blackest black in color. That's why I love Tarte's mascara. Throughout the day it stays on, even if you're an eye rubber like myself. And this mascara does not have Tar like most.  The brush is medium size, and the liquid builds with each coat. This limited-edition mascara packaging is so stinkin' cute. 

Prime & Illuminating Set : This is my favorite purchase from this sale. I have been so excited to try the Illuminating Drops. I am a fan of CoverFx's primer so when I saw this set I said heck yes, count me in! I became a fan of CoverFx when I learned about why they started their company. The founders created their foundation for burn victims. The ingredients are safe for burn victims and the products make those people feel better about themselves. I will stand behind any company that has a motto like that. The primer always keeps my foundation (any, not just theirs) in place, and fills in the lines and pores on my face so that my foundation lays on my face not in all the crevasses. The drops I put in my foundation if I want an overall highlight or I'll just dap it on my cheekbones, down my nose, and above my lips. Moonlight is beautiful, I cannot wait to try the other colors. There are NINE!!! I was pleased with the setting spray too. I usually use the MUFE Spray and they both are good in my opinion. 

Lighting Concealer : This one is a splurge! But it is YSL! But this is a lifesaver on those mornings where I had to much wine with the girls the night before or if you're a mama with babies. The concealer has 10 different shades, so there's definitely one for everyone. The concealer has hyaluronic acid for plump hydration and vitamin E for brightening. I also love dabbing a bit around my lips for them to look bigger-one part of my face I wish was bigger LOL. TIP; keep it in your makeup bag in your purse, and use it if you're going from day to night, it will make all the difference. I will always be a YSL touché eclat lover. 

Holiday Candle Trio : This one is surprising for me too! When I first smelt these candles I was soooo in love. I am a faithful Bath & Body Works shopper, but after awhile I feel like everyone is burning the same ones. And with the holidays coming up I like for my gifts to be personal and unique. There are three candles in this trio. You can give the trio to one person. Or you can even separate the candles and at a gift card or a scarf to one of your girlfriends as their present. The trio includes; holiday birchwood, pine, and sugar cookie. Sugar cookie is my favorite, but thats an easy one. I love all things sugar cookie. 

Blush & Bronzer Duo : Nars is my favorite brand for blushes, they have over 20 different colors just at Sephora. Over the years I'm pretty sure they have made well over 100 different colors. And the pigment is out of this world crazy good. Sin has been my go to for years, and this particular duo I have had for 7 years. Guess what? No bellybutton either. Casino was my first bronzer I ever used. I love how "brown" and not orange it is! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

Luxurious Bath : Here's a Christmas gift for yourself. This is another splurge product. Fresh creates such luxurious products. I love them when I want a feel good product. I have used this bottle for over 5 years and still have plenty. Little goes so long with this bath oil. I put it directly in my bath and soak for 10-15 minutes. My body always feels smooth and hydrated. Sunday nights you can find me soaking in my bath with my Sake And it does not hurt that the bottle is glass and looks gorgeous in my bathroom. 

Tools:
GHD Straightener : I bought my first one on my 21 birthday trip to VEGAS!! It was my present to myself. LOL #singlelife  I'll start with I know its pricey, because it is. But girls, this straightener will help you everyday. I have super thick hair, and its medium length so straightening my hair takes a good 30 minutes. And before my GHD it took 50 minutes. When using this straightener  you don't have to run over the same piece of hair more than once. If you're like me and have damaged hair due to bleach or dying than you need everything you can to help it stay healthy. GHD uses ceramic plates so it doesn't damage your hair. GHD also has a 2 year warranty. And getting it with Sephora helps with that as well. If something goes wrong you can always exchange it. I love Sephora's customer service so much! 

 Clarisonic : Out of every product I have ever got from Sephora or any other beauty store this is my ultimate favorite. Clarisonic has helped my skin for years. I use it two times a day, morning and night. It takes off the let over make-up, dirt, and environmental build up. My face feels cleaner than if I not use my clarisonic. I always can tell from my makeup when I have gone a night without using my clarisonic and I can always tell when I have gone a week with using it twice a day. My makeup looks so amazing and I have an inner glow. I have dry skin and I have friends with oily skin that use their clarisonic, any skin type can use this tool. Get the clarisonic, you'll LOVE it, promise!
