Every once and a while, Sephora releases a Sephora Favourites 'Give Me Some Lip" set. Last year there was great nude lip set, this year they are doing it again.
Filled with full size and minis of various nude shades, this set is a great way to try out a bunch of new lip products at a great price.

It costs $33.00 Cad and has a value of $103.00, it has 2 full sized and 4 minis in it.
The set contains:

Last summer I picked out and created a Buxom Customizable Eyeshadow Bar Palette from Sephora's website. I loved it so much last fall I got a limited edition pre-made palette and another last month. I though maybe I should talk about them now that I have three in my collection.
The shadows are sold on their own and can be added to a palette that either holds 1 or 6 shadows. They cost $15 each, The single shadow holder costs $2 and the 6 holder costs $15, but if you buy 6 shadows you'll get a 6 shadow holder for free. You'll also get a discount on the shadows and a 6 palette will run you $50, making it a way better deal.

They also claim to have built in primer, which I don't 100% trust but must say that they really go on well with or without primer.

the customizable 6 pan palette

Were going to start off with my custom palette, it is filled with permanent shades from the shadow collection and it is the first palette from Buxom I made/bought.
Left to right the shades are:
Silk Sheets, (chai luster), Feather Boa (matte pastel pink), Lingerie Lover (matte mauve), Spoiled Sexy (matte deep mauve), Wild Nights (shimmering sugar plumb) and Party Girl (fuchsia luster).
4 of these 6 shades are in the Dolly's Wild Side pre-made palette, but I honestly wanted Party Girl so much and the other shade (Feather Boa) is matte and I wanted another matte in my palette.
So far I love this palette, it has a great mix of textures and colours. The mattes aren't chalky, the rest are super buttery and smooth.
Next up was the limited edition Look All You Want palette. I got this in the fall with a liner and mascara for $50. I has a pretty case with gold and red, and is kind of squishy if you poke the top.
Finally we have my latest edition Suede Seduction, an all matte palette. I cannot find this on the Canadian Sephora site, but I found it in stores and on the Ulta page. It has a leathery like look to its package. I really love this palette. I wear mattes 80% of the time for work so it really has been great. It is so rich and creamy and pigmented. Just love it.
So those are all my Buxom shadow palettes
What do you think? Have you tried making one of your own before?

I went a little nuts at the Spring Sephora sale. As a VIB Rouge, I got access a day early and received 15% off. So, yeah a little nuts.
First off I got items from the new Disney Minnie Beauty by Sephora Collection.
Minnie's Perfect Red Lipstick
This lipstick has a magnetic lid and a heavy nice quality to the tube. It is a really nice rich red embossed with Minnie, xox and a little silhouette of her on the end.

I fell so in love with this lipstick that I went out and did another order just to get a back up. I know I don't need a back up, but with the embossing I really feel better about using one when I have a backup.
Minnie's Inner Glow Luminizing Blush
The blush comes in a heavy duty compact with pretty spots and minnie on the outsize and a coal blush in the inside, that has minnie ears and bow embossed into it.
Reflection Of Minnie Compact Mirror
The mirror has a pretty zip up pouch. When open it looks like her ears with her bow. In the inside you get a regular mirror and a 2x mirror.
SmashBox Photo Finish Primer Oil:
I hear only good things about this primer oil and I am already loving the primer spray I got last year. I also have very dry skin, so why not add oil into my primer routine.

Smashbox Insta-Matte 
This is supposed to transform any lip product into a matte finish lip product. Sounds amazing, looks amazing, it was a must buy for me. I was really sold when I read Chelle's review over on Make Up Your Mind, you should go check it out too. 

Nars Concealer in Vanilla
I didn't really need this, I just wanted it. This is the classic salmon concealer for under-eyes that everyone with light skin likes. But alas, I returned it. I really can't justify any more concealers in my life right now.
NudeStix #NudeLipKit 3 Piece Mini Set
I just got to finally try out Nudestix in the Sephora Favourites Give Me Some Nude Lip Set, and while Whisper, the colour I got in it, wasn't for me, I still wanted to try some more Nudestix. This little set has a Matte (Belle), Creme (Mystic) and Gel (Pulse) version in it, letting me try out some different shades and textures.  It also has a tin with mirror and sharpener in it.
Buxom Suede Seduction Eyeshadow Palette
This is an all matte palette from Buxom. I already created my own custom one last summer and got myself a limited edition one at the fall sale...so I guess you can say I am a fan of Buxom's palettes.
This one being all matte meant I had to get it since I only wear mattes to work. I really love the exclusive palette cover.
On the VIB Rouge day me and a guest were supposed to get a tote bag with some goodies in store, but they were already out of them apparently at noon at most stores. I did get a bunch of samples in store as well as a Minnie Mouse tote bag fro 250 of my points as well as my hubbies birthday gift (which was from Fresh).
I did hear some stores gave out a Makeup Forever goodie bag that had a reusable makeup bag and some good sized Makeup Forever samples. I however just got what you see above, and was pretty darn happy about it because, it was free and I won't complain about that :).

 Next up was David's Tea. I really love tea, David's in particular. I have so many that I have declared that I am not allowed any more tea. I did cave and bought this Advent Calendar for $40. I decided the way it was layed out with the drawers and the mini tins that next year I can go into the store and buy 24 10g seasonal teas and refill it. That way I wont be wasteful with all the packaging (plus it was the only way I could actually justify the purchase). I also got the hubby a Purdy's Advent Calendar that looks the same for $25(you can check it out here), it also will be refilled next year.

I went to Murale (owned by Shoppers Drug Mart) and redeemed my points for the holly grail of holiday beauty products.....


Speaking of Becca, I also got the Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Champagne Glow Palette. This features Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop as well as two other shades. As I said, I wanted to try some Becca out.
Buxom Look All You Want. I got this for $50 minus my 20% and was ecstatic. I got a Buxom custom palette a few months back and have yet to really dig into it, but love it. For the same cost I got this great palette in a limited edition case, a mini mascara and full sized liner. Great deal and very pretty colours.
I needed brush cleaners, so trying out the Cinema Secrets Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner Pro Starter Kit seemed like a great idea.

I keep on hearing good things about Sephora Collection products and have yet to really give them a try, so I got Sephora Collection Color Reveal Lip Balm.  It is supposed to be a self adjusting lipstick. 

This Sephora Cat Nap sleep mask is really cute. I wanted a new sleep mask after my other one got a little too dirty during the move. It is really thick and it is just too cute, crazy cat lady in me couldn't resist it.



 I also redemed 500 points for this Urban Decay palette and eyeliner.

 So that is it, my gigantic seasonal haul. I did get some pretty good deals so I know I didn't spend too much at least. Did you get anything at the VIB Sale?
