Hi everyone! Today I am sharing the items that I purchased for myself during the Sephora VIB 20% sale along with a mini review of each. There’s a few that I ended up returning but here are the final products I am keeping. Let’s get to it.
Face
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 in Nude
One of the best tinted moisturizers out there, I love using this for an everyday look. It’s light-weight, doesn’t make me breakout and with a variety of finishes and colors, you’re bound to find one that is perfect for you.
Sephora Collection Colorful Face Powder Blush in Can’t Stop Smiling
Once I saw the Sephora Collection Blush display, I knew I had to check them out. After swatching a few shades that caught my attention, I ended purchasing Can’t Stop Smiling. Described as a “salmon pink”, this blush has a surprisingly creamy consistency and is nicely pigmented. It does take a little bit of an effort to blend out but overall, I do like it and the shade is unlike anything I own.
Beautyblender The Original Beautyblender
Yes I finally gave in to the hype and I’m glad I did. This tool is a game changer when applying foundation as it helps it melt into skin for a seamless look. If you’ve been on the fence in trying this, I highly recommend that you do.

Eyes
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
I had to pick up another tube of my favorite eye primer. I have used this for years and I honestly have no intention of straying. No other eye primer makes my eyeshadow last without creasing like this one. My only complaint is that with every new tube, the consistency comes out a bit oily and watery but it goes back to its normal creamy consistency after.
Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling and Lifting Mascara
I bought the travel sized version of this mascara and I will be purchasing the full-size once I am done. I love the brush that comes with this which really does elongate and curl lashes. Best of all, it doesn’t irritate my eyes.
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Jet Black
When looking for a liquid eyeliner that won’t budge, I don’t have to look past this Stila one. Hands down the best liquid eyeliner I have tried so far and another favorite item I’ve repurchased throughout the years.
Lips
Burberry Burberry Kisses Lipstick in Peach Delight No. 57
Ah, Burberry. After falling in love with their blush, I wanted to try out other items so I choose these two lip products. This lipstick is a nice pink-peach color that can be used as an everyday shade or paired with a more dramatic look. It glides on smoothly and it’s neither matte nor creamy but very comfortable to wear. Plus, the cap is magnetic and how awesome is the design?
Burberry Burberry Kisses Lip Gloss in Nude Beige No. 17
I always have room for a nude beige lipgloss and this fits the bill. The gloss isn’t sticky and it gives a nice glow to the lips without making them look overly shiny. I will be honest and say that the lasting power on this is not long-maybe about 2 hours- and it’s not the most moisturizing. But, I do love how pigmented this one is and it looks great on its own or over lipstick.
That’s it for this haul. Are any of these your favorites?
See you Thursday,
Stephanie
Love everything you got!!! Especially that Rollerlash 🙂
Thanks Amy! I really do love the Rollerlash. I was scared of trying it because I’ve had adverse reactions to other Benefit mascaras but this one was great.
These products all look/sound amazing! The two lip products you picked up look particularly gorgeous <3
I do love my lip products and these colors are right up my alley. 🙂
Ohh gosh, this is heaven!!!
🙂
I feel like this haul is straight out of my makeup vanity! I couldn’t agree with you more about the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, too faced eye primer and Stilla eyeliner especially. Love all these products! Awesome haul XOXO
Thanks! I’m so glad to hear that some of these are your favorites too! If you haven’t tried the Burberry blushes, I highly recommend them. It’s found its way into my favorite and staple products too. 🙂
I will for sure pick it up! I am planning a trip some time this week! Xox
Looking forward to see what you get!
Sephora Collection is so underrated. I have a bunch of their eye shadows and a blush and they’re fantastic quality at very reasonable prices!
Those Burberry lip products look gorgeous.
Amazing haul! A good mix of needs and wants! 😉
Agreed. Sephora has some pretty great products at a reasonable cost. I’m glad I checked out their blushes. So far, I think the Burberry blushes and lipsticks are worth trying. The lipgloss is nice but I do think you can look elsewhere (*cough* NYX) unless you don’t mind reapplying often. 🙂
I really love the way those Burberry lipgloss and lipstick look. So pretty!
They are such gorgeous shades! 🙂
You won’t regret the Beauty Blender – I bought my first one early last year and its just starting to show signs of wear now and I use it every day. I want to try the Real Techniques version once I’m done with it but its set the bar high.
I have that Too Faced Shadow Insurance as well and its my favorite eye primer I’ve tried from Sephora (and I’ve tried many).
Great picks! 🙂
Thanks! I’ve heard about the RT version being similar to the BB so I am dying to try it out too! The RT has a lot to live up to. 🙂
Those Burberry lip products are gorgeous! Are you picking anything up with the VIB loyalty card?
Love what you purchased!! I was so reluctant to pay that much for the beauty blender but it has changed everything! I haven’t turned back since! And that blush looks amazing!
I know what you mean about the beautyblender. I had seen it for the longest time but was like eh. I gave in though and it was worth it. Yes, the blush is good. 🙂
At least my beauty blenders hold up pretty well so I’m not repurchasing new sponges all the time!
Gorgeous haul Stephanie! I love the Beauty Blender as well! I got it free with Birchbox points and I have been loving it! Though I feel that it works just as well as the Real Techniques one lol. The blush and lipstick are so pretty as well! <3 xo
Thanks Katie! I need to try the RT one to compare too. I love the lipstick. So glad I tried it. 🙂
You’re welcome Stephanie!! Glad to hear that you’re enjoying everything! 🙂
Ooo I was curious about the Burberry Lipsticks! I have been eyeing them for a while now! That shade is to die for it’s very subtle and lovely! Might take the plunge and order it! 🙂 Great haul!
I think you’ll really like it and yes this shade is gorgeous. 🙂
Fabulous picks lovely! Enjoy them! ???xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty
Thanks Annie! I used your blog as a reference when I was looking into the Burberry lipsticks. 🙂
OMG! That’s truly an honor lovely! Pardon the drama! I’m in one of those moods because of the weather! ???
But yeah! It’s the best compliment I could ever receive as a blogger! I must be doing things quite right then! ?????
Haha no worries and it’s true. 🙂 Yes, I love your blog. I can’t readily always afford higher end items so it’s good to conduct research. 🙂
Aww! Thank you once more! ??????
🙂
Awesome products!
