Sephora VIB Sale 2015

This is the first year that I have had VIB status at Sephora, and I was so excited to pick up a few things that I needed (and some that I didn't)! I've had a bit of a chance to try most of the products so I thought I would tell you my thoughts on them!

Benefit Gimme Brow (Medium/Deep): This has been a go to product for me for about a year and I needed a new one! I love how easy it is to apply and how the tint fills in  your brows naturally while holding them in place! Great for a low maintenance makeup look!

Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base: I've mentioned this product before, but I cannot get over how wonderful it is! Eyeshadow usually creases on my eyelids, but with this stuff I am crease free all day! It also feels really nice on the skin, and blends out so easily!

Benefit Hello Flawless Powder (Honey): I wanted a setting powder that was buildable enough to wear as foundation on days when I wanted to wear less makeup. I have been so impressed with this product! It sets makeup really well and also builds up on its own to make my skin look evened out and smooth! I've been loving it!

YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation (B40 Beige): I had this foundation put on in store (along with the benefit powder) and it looked so good! It is supposed to be illuminating and natural, and from what I remember it was! I have yet to try it out at home, but I can't wait! Look out for a review soon!

Urban Decay Revolution High-Colour Lipgloss (Bittersweet): This was a 100 point perk that I redeemed, and although I was sceptical of the colour I've really fallen in love with this gloss! It can be worn more sheer or built up for a more richly pigmented look, both of which I love! The formula is SO SO comfortable and it wears off evenly leaving a beautiful berry stain on the lips. It has quickly become a favourite!

What did you pick up at the sale? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for stopping by!

Kate Spade Newbury Lane Loden Bag

Kate Spade recently had a surprise 75% off sale, and I took the chance to purchase a nice medium sized bag as I have been wanting one for a while. The Newbury Lane Loden caught my eye and I decided that it was the one for me! Kate Spade is a pretty pricey brand, but I was able to get the bag far a really great deal and I am so pleased with it! 

I love that it is cross-hatched leather, as it feels more sturdy and durable. It also came with an adjustable crossbody strap, which a was a huge bonus.

The sides of this bag have snaps, so you can have it as big or small as you want. Also I love to gold hardware! I think it is so classic!

The storage in the bag is on a whole other level. There is a zip pocket and two pouches on the inside, and then two large zip compartments on each side of the bag. The main compartment is so roomy, and I have found myself using it as a school bag as it is the perfect size for notebooks! I was a little wary of having the main compartment open as it only has a snap closure, but I actually really love how easy it makes to grab my stuff!

I also make a cheeky earring purchase during the sale and am so glad I did! With sensitive ears, it is hard to find nice, inexpensive jewelry that wont irritate my ears. These were such a steal, and since they are gold plated they are comfortable for me to wear! I can't wait to bust them out for the upcoming holiday season.

Although these items are no longer on the Kate Spade website they do have a smaller version of the Newbury Lane Loden for sale here and a similar pair of earrings for sale here. Sign up for their newsletter so you can get alerts for their surprise sales and get 15% off your next purchase!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for stopping by!!

Spring Haul

Over the past month I've been buying some new things for Spring. And since the Sephora VIB sale was last month, I used that as an opportunity to restock on some skincare items that I needed. I thought it would be great to share what I have purchased with you guys since I've had some time to use them and see what I like!
 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette 

$67.00 at Sephora
I mentioned I wanted this in my Beauty Wishlist and I bought it as a gift to myself for completing my second year of University! All three powders make my skin look flawless. My favourite is Dim Light and I use it all over my face to even out the look of my skin!
 

Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

$29.00 at Sephora
I was in serious need of a new eyeshadow primer! So far I love it! I have super oily eyelids and my eye makeup doesn't budge all day!
 

First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Daily Face Cream

$25.00 at Sephora
I love this face cream, and my current one is almost out! It is the perfect lightweight consistency for my combo/oily skin. I love it!
 

First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser With Red Clay

$30.00 at Sephora
This cleanser is gentle and clarifying, I've purchased two in the past and although my current one isn't out yet, I bought an extra for when I do run out!
 

Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - Twin Pack (Sensitive)

$49.00 at Sephora
I love the sensitive brush heads for my Clarisonic! They clean my skin so well, I don’t think I can ever go back to using just my hands!
 

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Original

$8.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart
This spring I've been trying to go longer between washes and when my hair looks oily this stuff gets the job done!
 

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer - Medium to Tan

$5.00 at Walmart
Since my job is mostly inside, I don't spend much time outside. I love having a tan, so I thought this would be a nice product to try! It smells good, is great at moisturising my skin, and leaves a nice glow behind!
 

Covergirl Ready, Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion Oil Free Foundation - 120 Nude Beige

$6.00 at Walmart
I ran out of foundation, and since I've heard so many good things about this one I wanted to try it out. It looks so natural on my skin and lasts a really long time!
 

Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm - 105 Demure

$8.00 at Walmart
I wanted a sheer nude lippy for spring and this one looks great!
 

L’Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24H - 171 Blackest Black

$10.00 at Walmart
It was time to purchase a new gel liner, and this one was recommended to me by a friend. I love how smooth and easy to apply it is!
 

L’Oréal Infallible 24H Eye Shadow - Amber Rush

$10 at Shoppers Drug Mart
This eye shadow has been plastered all over the internet for ages and I wanted to see what all the hype was about! The colour is so pigmented and it makes my eyes pop! It is easy to apply and blend out as well. If you like shimmery eye shadow I would highly recommend this!

I hope you enjoyed! Comment down below what you've been buying for spring and summer! Have a great week!
