Bite: Agave Treat Trio Mini Agave Lip Mask Set ($20)

It was that time of year again, the time where Sephora has their big sale for BI, VIB and VIB Rouge. Being a VIB Rouge I got an extra weekend of savings and received 20% off my purchases. I really didn't go to crazy this time, frankly there wasn't much I actually wanted from the holiday collections.

Becca - Glow on the go Highlighter Set in Champagne Pop $24
I picked this mini set up the last two years in Moonstone and Opal. It has a mini Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed and Wand in Champagne Pop. Considering the sell the pressed mini for $23 on its own in stores I definitely think it is a bargain.

Bite - Mauvember MultiStick and Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick $28

  For the third year in a row Bite is doing their Mauvember thing. In the past there were lipsticks, this year it is a MultiSTick and Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick. Since I still have my Mauvember lipstick and I have yet to try any of their MultiSticks I thought I would grab one. Also I am a big fan of their Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick so I had to get it.  Bite donates all proffits from the products to The Movember Foundation. Great cause, pretty shades, quality products, there really is no down side to buying these products.

Sephora Collection - Alseep For The Winter Sleep Mask $18
This one is a silly one. I pretty much got it because it is a fox. I actually really love Sephora Collection's Sleep Masks. I got a cat one two years ago and it is by far the best sleep mask I have ever had...so of course I had to get this silver fox.


Shu Uemura Super Mario Bros. x Shu Uemura Tint In Balm- Underground Adventure $35
 Shu Uemura has this amazing Super Mario collection out right now. With fancy detailed boxes and products that I may have gone a little nuts buying stuff. This little lip tint is actually really pretty. I am glad that with a collection like this all the products are the same price as their regular versions.


Shu Uemura Super Mario Bros. x Shu Uemura Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipstick - 375 & 187 $36

With bricks, Mario and Peach I had to have these. Shu is a little pricy so 20% off made it worth while.

Shu Uemura Super Mario Bros. x Shu Uemura Invincible Superstar Premium Gold Curler $25

This one really got me excited. It is a gold version of the cult classic Shu lash curler, with a star attached.


So that is all I got this year. Was there anything you picked up during the sale?

It comes with Melted Liquid Long Wear Lipsticks in their best selling shades Chihuahua and Fig. It also has a Melted Chocolate shade in Honey and a Melted Matte in Lady Balls (a fantastic red for the holidays).
BECCA Glow on The Go Shimmering Skin Perfector Moonstone Set ($24)
I also redeemed 100 points for a deluxe Too Faced Melted Matte in Sell Out.

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?
