Hi readers! I hope you all had a great weekend!
As promised, here are the final items that I purchased during the Sephora VIB sale along with mini reviews. Enjoy!
Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer
I purchased this on a whim and because I couldn’t help but love the new mini travel size options. This one cost $15 and it was smaller than I expected but it’s well worth it. A little goes a long way and the color is visible enough to sculpt cheekbones but light enough to not look fake.
Becca Mineral Blush in Wild Honey
The Tarte Celebrated blush didn’t work out for me as it emphasized my pores and looked patchy so I exchanged it for this one instead. This is described as a peachy nude shade and it looks so pretty on! This is nicely pigmented and blends in easily. Perfect for any season.

The Estee Edit by Estee Lauder The Barest Lip Color in So Bare
I must admit that I first walked by the Estee Edit display a couple of times but dismissed it. After reading good reviews on the lipsticks and later taking time to swatch the colors, I had to have the shade So Bare. As luck would have it, I got the last one and as soon as I tried it, it did not disappoint. Lip balm texture and nicely pigmented color, you should give these a try.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Double Dare
This shade is frequently out of stock online and in store so I was ecstatic when I found the last tube in store. Describes as a cocoa blush shade, this shade is gorgeous and will look great on many skin tones. It has good lasting power though it does fade with heavy drinking and eating. You need this shade.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
One of the sales associates recommended this setting powder and although I haven’t used it as much, I do like. It really helps set your concealer and helps prevent it from separating.
That’s it for my mini haul. 🙂
What did you get at the Sephora sale?

What a nice little haul 🙂 Double Dare looks gorgeous!
Thanks Chanelle. If you can, check out Double Dare as it will look great on you. 🙂
Oh that Becca Mineral Blush in Wild Honey in looks lovely! Their blushes haven’t been on my radar but I think I need to give them a closer look. That Estee Edit lipstick look really nice actually. I had dismissed this brand entirely as a gimmick, actually! (I just don’t understand why EL didn’t launch a completely new brand name aimed at a younger audience instead of attaching “edit” to their name)
Great haul – you did way better than me!
They weren’t on mine either but I stumbled on it while browsing online and read great reviews so I bought it. I think you’ll like these. Personally I am not a fan of Kendall Jenner so it’s also one of the reasons I dismissed it but when I swatched them, I was like, okay, I’ll give them a try. Definitely check it out. The lipstick really doesn’t disappoint and the price isn’t too bad either. You got some great stuff too. Can’t wait to see all the other stuff you’ll get. 🙂
Love the products you got! Great choices! Benefit hoola is an all time fave of mine 🙂
Thanks Ashely! I’m really glad I got it, even if it’s the mini version. 🙂
Great haul. Love that Kat von D lippy: so pretty!
xo Anne – Doves & Roses
Thanks Anne! Yes, the KVD shade is gorgeous!
I used Shop and Box and my stuff is on the way. Can’t wait. And I love double dare – it’s beautiful on most skin tones
Agreed on the Double Dare! Can’t wait to see the items you got. I know they’ll be awesome! 🙂
I got some Tom Ford eeeee!
Nice! I was eyeing some TF products too but had to skip as they were too pricey. I had just purchased the CT Film Star Bronze and Glow so TF will have to wait. 🙂
I got my hands on that too. It looked too good to pass up!
I think you’ll like it. I got the Bitch Perfect lipstick too but without the liner to match, the shade was meh and not worth the price. Also, it felt dry and waxy so back to the store it went.
Dang. Get walk of shame. And 1993 from UD. THEY HAVE A SALE!
Really? I’ll look into it. Thanks! I was also looking at Amazing Grace as I got a few samples of that lippie and liked the shade.
It looks great on most people. ?
Great haul!
