My sister once told me that I'm cheap because I like saving up my money for sales. Makeup is expensive okay? Especially the kind I like to splurge on. So every year, I usually try and save up for Sephora's VIB sales. This year is no different. While most of the items I'll be picking up will be repurchases, some are going to be first timers - and hopefully - no last minute impulse buys. But where's the fun in that? Anyway, I'd just like to show what I'll be picking up, as well as some "maybe's." Let me know what you think and what you'll be picking up at the sale!
The Repurchases
Maybe I should've bought two of these creams last time because I ran out of this faster than usual. If you want to know how I feel about this, I've got a little review in this post.
This eyeliner is an ultimate staple in my makeup stash. It's super thin, very bold, and easy to apply. Not just that, but it's never failed me so far and usually lasts an entire night. Definitely need refills of this.
The Must-Have
Ever since I caught a whiff of this, I've been meaning to buy it for quite some time. I'm looking for a mini that I could add to my mini perfume collection. I love collecting mini's. The scent of this is such an elegant floral one that I simply could not resist! This one will come home with me.
The Maybe's
Lorac's Unzipped Palette
I've been wanting this palette for a very very long time. I still go through pages and pages of swatches and raving commentary but I still have never picked it up. I love that it seems to be a foolproof palette and that all the colors work really well together. Maybe I just need to get it. (Also I already noticed it's out of stock. Womp Womp. Maybe I'll pick it up at Ulta though.)
Lancome Rouge In Love Lipstick
I've been falling in love with the formula of this lipstick that it might make sense to grab one now than later. I don't know. I'll see.
I've been meaning to try this lipstick out for awhile. It's been quite some time since I've purchased a lipstick and this one seems to have such great reviews. I'm thinking of a bold red lipstick.
For some reason, every single this year this goes on my wishlist and I never come home with it. Maybe it's because I already have a full bottle of one of them. Or maybe it's because I just want the Juicy Couture Couture spray pen. Either way, it always makes it on my wishlist.
I finished a mini-sample of this awhile back but still have a deluxe sample available. I love how fresh and floral this scent is. I think that when I run out of the mini version, I'll splurge on the full sized one.
The Gift-ables
This is such an extraordinary lip set - especially since it comes with sooo many colors I'd love/have used. It includes Dolce Vita - a staple favorite and Cruella - something I've always wanted to have the courage to wear out. It's never been bought because I just felt it was too much. But who knows? Maybe I'll be bold enough to wear it this time around. And if you're feeling generous, this set is only $45 - you could easily split this among a group of friends!
I know that the sale is almost over, but I really would like to know what you wanted/picked up! Let me know in the comments section! :)
sephora vib sale is amazing, lol
ReplyDeletei got some nail polish and about to place another order of the marc jacobs rollerball fragrance >< lol
but i'm also showing an interest in that chloe perfume that you recommended :x
ahhh Sephora sale, one of my fave times of the year... this time I kept it simple and stocked up on my HG :)
ReplyDeleteI looove my Chloe perfume! I was using Miss Dior Cherie for years and then made the switch, though I still love my old one too! I don't think we have that Sephora sale here...if we do, it is not advertised :(
ReplyDeletexx -b.
I was looking forward to this event and now it's here I have no clue what I really want to get. I actually might just pass since I really just want a Lora Pro Palette, which is out of stock anyways *sigh* Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with waiting and saving for sales... i do the same =)
ReplyDeleteI got the tarte tarte of giving set! There's so much stuff in there I can't wait to play around with it. And also I got some items on sale, so with the 20% it was even more on sale ;)
ReplyDeleteOmg, if you like really floral scents, I highly recommend it! Oh I've never actually tried any scents from Marc Jacobs. You have to let me know what it smells like.
ReplyDeleteVery smart and money saving! Yeah I made sure to at least get my HG's. But what I'm wondering is what else I wanted that could be money saving at the moment. (Instead of buying it later on without the sale. Lol.)
ReplyDeleteOh nooo! Really??? i thought this would be an international kind of thing. It's 20% off for all VIBs/Rouge.
ReplyDeleteGo to Ulta. And get this. It's cheaper than the Pro alone PLUS you get my favorite eyeliner of ALL time. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2268087&productId=xlsImpprod5920336
ReplyDeleteYup! I love saving up for this stuff. It makes it much more guilt-free spending money on makeup.
ReplyDeleteOmg... that's the best part!!!! Lol, I used to get sooo exited for stuff like this. xD
ReplyDeleteI have Bright Crystal, it's one of my favorite perfumes!
ReplyDeleteI got The Tarte of Giving Set :) I'm just in love with the eyeshadows, so I couldn't resist. And you are smart for saving your money for sales! That's probably what I should start doing, but I always give in to buying the stuff I want even if there is no sale! That's bad. haha.
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a great list, these products seems good! : )
ReplyDeleteGreetings!

I've been eyeing that Lorac Unzipped Palette too! I keep trying to convince myself that I have enough eyeshadows, but it's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat wish list! I will be doing one also very soon since Xmas is right around the corner. I havent seen nor heard of the Lorac unzipped palette but I am about to do some research, since I banned myself from buying makeup for the rest of the year till March 2014 (unless its drugstore or a GREAT sale)-- Take it from a VIBrouge. I needed to stop lol! Great post again.
