Sephora VIB Rouge Spring Social Event

image

I'm sure by now all of you heard about the Sephora 15% Off VIB Rouge Spring Social Event. If you haven't heard of it yet it was a event where all the VIB Rouge member got to attend a exclusive closed door shopping experience. When I received the email I immediately RSVP'd at the nearest Sephora. It was from 9-11 am kinda early but that didn't stop the ladies the sephora I went to it was packed. They had coffee and little bites I went for the coffee right away and began shopping.

Every time I pay a visit to Sephora I always stop by my favorite brand YSL. I love swatching the lipsticks and the glosses. Its the gold packaging I mean who doesn't love YSL's luxurious packaging right? =P

At the entrance they handed out a raffle ticket for prizes. Every 30 min they were announcing a winner. I stayed till 10:30 and no I didn't win anything, I wasn't expecting to either I never win lol but it was fun to watch the whole process.

They also had a mini make over with different brands I picked Nars. I was called for my mini make over with in 10 min after singing up. I was greeted by this sweet mua she was showing me Nars new matte multiples. She applied one of them along with a illuminator in Copacabana. I absolutely loved the matte multiple but it was sold out so I had to come home and order that right away. I also asked her to show me the new Sephora Pantone Universe Radiant Rush Matte Lipstick. I liked the color its a toned down orchid shade I didn't purchase the lipstick cause I'm pretty sure I have a similar color lipstick in my collection.

I had on Mac Magenta lip liner with Mac Flat Out Fabulous lipstick. Then I tried the Sephora Pantone Universe lipstick after that I decided to try on a bright vivid Orange lipstick which I ended up loving. I didn't pick up the orange lipstick because I had already paid for my items and the line was insane so I just ordered it when I got home.


image

I picked up only 3 items I did have things I wanted to purchase but some of them were out of stock. Like I mentioned I ordered a few things that I had on my list and since I'm very impatient I didn't wanna wait for those items to arrive and delay this post. I'm excited to use the MUFE HD foundation again its one of my favorite. I heard a lotta good things about the Nars creamy concealer so excited to try that as well. Lots of new and repurchase products this month!

Ipsy March Glam Bag

image

Ipsy March Glam Bag is my favorite one so far. I received 4 amazing products this month. I think this months bag was perfectly put together at least mine was. I love love the eyeliner its a perfect shade of blue. Who doesn't love minis right? I was kinda hesitant about the lipstick shade but once I swatched it I was sold. As you all know by now I'm into neutral eye shadows so I'm glad I got the NYX trio. I was kinda looking forward to the Pacifica lotion since I reviewed it and pretty sure I mentioned that I loved it!! Anyways I'm still happy with my bag and you will see why once you check out the swatch picture.

Ipsy Jan & Feb Glam Bag

Hey guys I didn't get a chance to share my ipsy Jan & Feb Glam Bag with you guys. I thought before I share my fabulous March Glam Bag I might as well share these bag first. Better late than never! I didn't like anything I received in my January ipsy bag. I don't really experiment with face lotion and I don't have dry hair if anything my hair is super oily so I don't know why I received the hair mask. I didn't like the tinted balm either so with that being said January Glam Bag was a total miss for me. February Glam Bag was a little better than January I love love the lotion it smells divine and pretty moisturizing. I was happy to see the falsies who doesn't love false lashes right? I love the POP lip gloss and Zoya nail polish. I didn't like the bronze eye cream shadow found the formula a bit drying. I don't really care for the bags, I don't really use the bags I get from ipsy except for last years December bag. For $10 bucks 4-5 products sounds like a good deal but it can be a hit or miss thing. Now lets jump to the pictures.

Lush Bubble Gum Lip Scrub

image
Lush Bubble Gum Lip Scrub 
Price: $9.95
Size: 0.8 oz 
Where To Purchase: Lush 


image



image

Bubble Gum lip scrub smells like a strong bubble gum flavored syrup. The fragrance can be too strong for some but I got used to it over time. Its a basic lip scrub feels like sugar mixed with some oil. This lip scrub does contain jojoba oil which helps softens my lips. It can be a little messy the scrub doesn't adhere to the lips very well. I use this when I notice my lips are a bit dry then follow up with a lip balm. While using this you have to be careful not to get it wet or else it will get hard as a rock. You can make a DIY lip scrub at home with sugar and jojoba oil/olive oil difference is this one just taste and smell better.


image



Overall:

If you are a Lush fan like me you will  love this it taste sweet and works really well. I'm not big on doing DIY, since this is pre-mixed, pretty affordable, and it will last a long time I will definitely purchase this again.

Inside My Makeup Bag

Hey guys I thought I would share whats inside my makeup bag at the moment. This is one of my favorite makeup bag. When I purchased the LV neverfull two years ago I had it hot stamped, I asked my husband to pick it up and he purchased this makeup bag and placed it inside the neverfull. It was so sweet of him, hubby purchased this bag from Bloomingdales. I realized my makeup bag is always loaded with lots of lip products for some odd reason. Since I wash my hand a lot I never leave the house without a hand cream. Let's check out what else is in my makeup bag right now.

Empties!!

image


I'm back! I know Ive been MIA lately but I'm back and sharing some empties with you guys. These are some of the products that I love and I always get backups of. I already did a review on the Origins Peel Pads. I will do a review on this cleanser and the shampoo soon.



I had a rough start with this product, slowly but surely this product made it to my list of favorite skincare products. When you see a visible result of a product it just makes that product 10 times better. This peel pad removes every single thing from your skin. I cant rave enough about these peel pads. Check out the detail review HERE.


Philosophy Purity Made Simple
Since I love this cleanser so much and I go through those 8 oz bottles pretty quick. I decided to get the 16 oz bottle this time. I use this cleanser both am and pm. I have been using this cleanser for ages now. Its very gentle. I wash my brushes with this cleanser too takes out all the foundation blush etc. Even though its a gentle cleanser it takes off makeup really well. I will do a detail review on this cleanser soon.


Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo
I love love this shampoo. Its so gentle yet cleans my oily scalp really well. I have super oily scalp and I use a clarifying shampoo once a week and I use this everyday. I know shampooing everyday is not good for your hair but my scalp gets oily overnight. This shampoo is very gentle doesn't make my hair harsh at all. It does have a coconut fragrance but its not overpowering at all. It is a little bit expensive since I go through these bottles really quick but let me tell you Ive been searching for a good shampoo for a while now.I finally found a good everyday shampoo so I'm willing to pay the price. I will also do a detail review on this shampoo so stay tuned for that.
