Sephora VIB Spring Haul 2015 + Video

Hey you! Happy Monday. I thought I'd take the edge off of Monday with a haul of some makeup goodies. Normally Sephora visits are a treat, since I love drugstore makeup and being a beauty blogger I get to try a lot of it gratis. But when they had their 15% off spring code for VIB members (there's a VIB Rouge level as well) I had a "treat yo self" moment. Hey, some people love shoes and bags, but for me, I cannot resist makeup. Remember, if you're looking for new makeup reviews, consider me your first source! Let's see what I got:

I am wearing everything purchased in the video.




I am wearing or using everything above in the video.

Do you own any of these? Which ones?

My room--where the video magic happens!

Extra Elle:
  • I'm sick so I spent the weekend not doing much, honestly! How's that for an exciting weekend? But seriously I did get out twice: once for a milkshake (for my throat, I swear) and I did meet up with friends for dinner al fresco. The weather was wonderful that night with a soft breeze, twinkly lights, good conversation, and a sleepy pup on my foot.
  • Speaking of a sleepy pup, Charlie has been having really bad sneezing fits. He went to the vet Friday and got a shot for his allergies. He is also on meds, which are helping a little. I don't know why he is being bothered by them now, as opposed to any other year, but as long as he's well, I'm happy!
  • $100 Sephora Giveaway (seriously, why haven't you entered yet? What would you buy?)
  • $100 Visa Giftcard (for those not into makeup or who just want $100!)

  11. I've tried Becca before and did love the products, but for some reason, I don't think I've seen the line in our local Sephora. I had to order the stuff online. Waaaaaah!Anyhoo, thank you for taking the time to do these great reviews, Elle.

  12. Wow, stunning make up. *__*

  17. You had a great haul, lady! I was hemming and hawing over a piece from sephora but just didn't splurge because I've already splurged on a few things this month. Very excited to investigate some of your purchases, though!

  18. Sephora is such a fun place to shop! You look great! Hard to believe you're not feeling well. Your skin is just glowing. Must be some good foundation and under eye brightener! :0)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Whoa! You got some great stuff!! I was hoping you would like the brightening powder a bit more. I am in search of a good one. My skin is totally lifeless after winter. Thanks for the Benefit review! I have been wanting to pick up that mascara for my girl. She is learning to apply and I thought this would be a good start. Blessings! Susan

  20. I love your makeup in the video. Thanks for the review. Sephora is a dangerous store for me, I just love makeup. I did a little damage during the sale as well. How can you not?

  21. So many amazing things!! Can't wait to hear how you like them!! Aww I hope Charlie starts feeling better!!

  27. Oh so many beautiful goodies Elle! That Kat von D palette screams my name! xoxo, Sissi

  28. Very nice products, indeed! I love Sephora and yes, with a discount, even better! Now that you said you had the reddest face after using the bi-Phase peel, cause I have very sensitive skin, and even though you advise to leave for 3 min then (I also get distracted) I would be afraid, but can give it a try. I would looove to try the esame Translucent Brightening Vanilla Face Powder - I love face powders that are translucent! I just bought one on the weekend, at Sephora, such a coincidence! And the Benefit Roller Lash mascara is on my list!

  32. I'm glad you were able to get out a couple times this weekend, despite being sick. That Giorgio Armani Foundation is definitely on my wish list. I've been looking for something light, but that offers better coverage than the mineral powder I've been using.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow that's quite a haul--how fun! You are the queen of the palettes--always so many fun ones I'd love to try! I hope you're feeling better and the milkshake worked its magic :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm interested in so many of the products above! I hope you are feeling better. Do the allergy shots work for Charlie? Jax is on allergy drops and has been on them for 5 months and they aren't working so far...they said it could take up to a whole year to work...ugh..Going to watch your video!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sooo much goodness! I searched your site first(!!) for how-to cover up a blemish and I must say, using the concealer brush versus my finger made a huge difference and looking more natural (and less cakey!). Cheers!

  36. I LOVE Sephora's eyeliner. It's so good.

  37. First of all, That Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation looks gorgeous on you!! I don't usually wear foundation, but if it can make my skin glow like yours, I'm all about it! I also did a Sephora VIB (mini) haul, too! Can't pass up that 15%! I also got the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone and I cannot wait to try it! I'm so happy to hear that it's as amazing as everyone says it is! I was also intrigued by the Besame vanilla powder, but after hearing Tati from Glam Life Guru say she wasn't impressed with it, I passed on it, and now you've confirmed...it just falls flat as a product.
    In my mini haul, I also purchased the Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo in Pink Beige, NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna, and two Moondust Eyeshadows from Urban Decay......oh there are so many more things on my wish list, but the wallet doesn't permit! The Kat Von D eye palette didn't really catch my eye, but that contour palette is a must, isn't it? And that Sephora contour brush to go with it....I think I need them both.... haha

  38. Love your pics, especially UD! Hope you feel better and that Charlie's allergies are under control!

  41. Ahhh jealous I haven't been beauty shopping in so long! I've never tried any of those products either. The Kat Von D palette looks pretty awesome though.

  43. You got some really great stuff Elle! I know this is crazy, but I didn't buy 1 thing during the sale, I kept looking through the website but I just wasn't feeling anything I saw, so it just expired without me using it! :(

    ReplyDelete
  44. LOVE Sephora! It's just so addicting and all the extra freebie samples? LOVE! Great review and I hope you're feeling better!

  45. Love this haul! I would love a review of the Murad Invisiblur after you've used it for a while. I don't really like silicone primers either, so I had high hopes for this. By the sound of it in the video, I'm not sure it's going to be for me either. :(

  46. I am loving this video because I did the same too. Would you be interested in doing a YouTube collab video? My email is adaatude@gmail.com

  47. Great picks! I've been toying with the idea of buying the Kat Von D Shade & Light Eyes palette. It looks so perfect, but I know I don't need it.

    Hope you're feeling better!

  54. You got so much awesome stuff!!! I would love to see a post on that Kat Von D shadow palette, your eyes look gorgeous with it on!!! I love Too Faced and that little palette is something I may have to look at also. I haven't tried any Becca stuff but I have got to find something for under my eyes. They are just awful!!! And I have a problem with stuff creasing under them which you said that one didn't crease for you. Hope you feel better!

  55. I use my Becca Highlighter ever single day! Religiously! It is amazing!

  59. I love neutrals so the Kat Von D and the Too Faced palettes look worth a try. I have never seen a contouring brush like that before looks like a perfect fit for contouring. Hope you and Charlie feel better soon!

  60. Can't wait to try out some of the stuff you got!!!

  61. Wrinkles and a cold? You'd never know! Your makeup looks perfect. I have really bad dark circles too so I will have to check out the Becca corrector.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I can't quite you eyeshadow palettes! lol thanks for the review of the RMS and becca under eye luminizer. I too suffer from dark circles so I always like an under eye highlighter and all the magazines recommend RMS but I haven't been able to justify the purchase.

    I avoided the sale because Sephora takes my money every week lol
