The Great Sephora VIB Sale (Part 2)

And here we go! As said, I was going to pick up some more items during the sale time when I got paid and oh boy...did I need everything? No of course not. Did I want everything? Yes. I managed to get a few items that I was hoping for and didn't get a few. But let's begin!

The first item is similar to what I got last time...another Nars single eye shadows! This time I purchased the shade Night Star and I love it just as much as the other one I previously purchased!

It is a sheer peachy color with lots of gold glitter in it and I love love love it! It goes on very smoothly and since it is sheer the pigmentation isn't really there but it still looks beautiful. This was not the shade I originally went in for but the Sephora I go to did not carry the shade I wanted so I'll most likely order it or pick it up from another Sephora when I'm by one. Otherwise I am very happy with this one and look foward to trying out more shades for the Nars single eye shadow line.

The next item is another Nars item and like the eye shadow it is not the original shade I went in for but again, the Sephora I go to doesn't carry that shade either. (Curse going to a small JCP...but I still love them because the gals are so sweet!) The item would be a lipstick to add to my small growing collection!

I picked up the shade Dolce Vita and it is just beautiful. It's a real nice sheer dusty rose color and it goes on so smoothly. I had heard so many great things about this shade so I figured I would give it a try and like my other Nars lipsticks, I love it as well! I think this would look good for any skin color or make up look because it's just a basic shade that can complement many people. Plus you can put very lightly on or you can layer that bad baby up! Another great purchase for me.

The next item is from a brand I am not too Familiar with which is Smashbox. I've wanted to try out a new foundation primer because the one I've been using hasn't been working out so well for me but I didn't want to pay for a full size primer and then not like it...so I picked up the Try It Kit!

This lovely kit is perfect for travel and you get to test out a range of different products! It comes with five travel sized items. It includes the Photo Finish Foundation Primer, Photo Finish Lid Primer, Limitless Eyeliner in Onyx, Exposure Mascara in Jet Black, and Lip Enhancing Glass in Illume. I Tested out all five of this in the morning when I was getting ready for work and I enjoyed the majority of the items and believe the kit is worth the try.

• I really enjoyed the foundation primer. It went on very smoothly and my skin felt soft...plus it looked very well once I put on my foundation! So I look forward to purchasing a full size of that soon when I finish this sample. 
• Now for the lid primer...I didn't really enjoy how thick it felt when I was putting it on, HOWEVER, it works very well and kept my eye shadow in place all day without creasing. I will not be buying a full size of it though and I will stick to using Urban Decay's eye primer.
• The eyeliner worked very well for me and I feel that I can never have too much eyeliner! It goes on smoothly and worked well on my waterline as well. Will it be my go to eyeliner? Probably not. I prefer purchasing my eye liner from Victoria's Secret because I just love the brown eye liner they carry. But again, can never have too much eye liner and this one is great for travel.
• The mascara was probably my least favorite only because it really didn't do much of anything different compared to the current mascara I am using. Although great for travel, this probably wont get used very often unless I run out and need a quick backup before I can go buy a new mascara. It didn't clump up which was nice but wasn't anything too spectacular.
• The lip gloss is actually a very pretty color and though I do not fancy wearing much lip gloss due to the texture, this one is actually very wearable. It goes on smoothly and looks very nice & subtle. Not much else to say on that...

Overall I liked the kit and I would recommend it to anyone who isn't so sure about the brand. I wish more brands actually did this!

The last few items I am going to include as one big set because they all go together. I love painting my nails. I don't do anything fancy but I just love painting them. I've been eyeing the new spring line of Formula X nail polishes and finally decided it was time to get a few.

I also picked up the effect nail polish they had around Christmas as the little ornament since it was on sale and I got my 15% off on it! It is a really pretty top coat if you want to add a little something but not too and the gold flakes look very nice on the spring shade in Dynamic, which is the light taupe shade next to it, which looks beautifully on. Next is Over The Top which is a light green yellow and oh boy...is it bright! Perfect for spring! I also grabbed Inspiring, which is a very pretty turquoise and I absolutely love it! Then finally we have A Little Sexy which is the periwinkle shade at the end and I adore this color on. I would of purchased the pink shade but I do not wear pink nail polish so I opted out of that one.

Was very glad to pick up everything I got during the sale and I took advantage of the sale...and so I am waiting for a couple more items to be shipped to me! And a lot of people would be thing, "oh my...how much has she spent during the sale?" In my opinion I actually didn't spend too much compared to others but I did spend a lot more than planned...oops! I don't regret it though and I am very happy with my purchases. I just hope I don't get let down with one item I'm waiting for because I was on the fence about it so we'll see if I enjoy or will be taking it back!

(I sadly forgot to pick up lip liner like I planned but I'm okay about that)

I will have one more part for the great sale and hopefully the packages will get here in a few days!
Thank you beautifuls and enjoy your day!

Varsity Voxbox From Influenster

So recently I have received the Varsity voxbox! And with all my excited on getting my first voxbox I waited impatiently but here it is!

Of course right as I opened the box, right on the top was the lovely little card as shown above. The card has a description of the items inside the box, along with their retail price.

The first item was samples of Clearasil's Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit wash, and coupons were included, which will definitely be used. I used this right when I woke up the next morning and I loved it. I loved it more than the face wash I've been using. My face felt nice and fresh after a night of sleep, so I'm glad I received more than one sample! O! And the scent! I love love loooved how it smelled. It was a blend of raspberries and cranberries and it was yuuuuummy smelling. I'm also very excited because it has Vitamin B3 and it has acne medication in it to help prevent blemishes. ((Price: $6.49))

The next item was a 6 oz. bag of Airheads Xtremes Bites (candy! yum!!) I looove candy so this was my favorite part of the box! They taste just like the original Airheads Xtremes but these are bite size and they are thicker than the strips. The bag says "perfect to share with others" but it's more like "perfect snack for me, myself & I while watching Supernatural". I'm definitely going out and buying more of these! ((Price $1.69))

The next item in this box was a set of Nail Dress from Kiss and it is a limited edition. Now I'm not a fan of pink nails on myself, but I have used this product before and I loved it. They are easy to put on and theres not hassle of waiting for your nails to dry, plus they lasted longer than regular nail polish last on me. And they have lotsof different colors, designs and so on, and theyre available at Walgreens! ((Price $6.99))

Next in  the box, was a NYC Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss. This came in the shade Pleasantly Plump Pink Rose Veloute. I loved the color and loved how it looked it. However, it felt a little sticky, and made my lips feel a tad heavy. I think it'd be good when going out, but not something for everyday. ((Price $3.99))

The last item was a sample of Tide Pods. It came in the scent of spring meadow and there was one pac capsule in the package. I have yet to use it and try it out but I am fond of how Tide products smell, so hopefully I'll like this and it'll be easier than a big ol' bottle! The card also describes it to be a 3 in 1 detergent! It has detergent, stain fighters, and brightener all in one. I look forward to trying it out the next time I do my laundry! ((No price listed))

And than concludes all that was inside the Varsity Voxbox. ((This was my first post on this blog and I'm planning on continuing using it for sort of reviews and that kind of stuff. Maybe include hauls and all that!))
