Whenever Sephora has a sale, I have to partake. Lol. Makeup doesn’t go on sale very often, so I took the opportunity to re-purchase some faves, and also picked up some new things that have been on my wishlist.
I repurchased my favorite Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser, because I love to use my Clarisonic, and this is a really good smelling cleanser that I use with it. It really leaves my skin feeling clean and takes off all of my makeup.
Another repurchase was the NARS Creamy Concealer in the shade Chantilly. This is the lightest shade it comes in, and I just love this concealer so much. I use it for under my eyes and also on my face for any redness. I set it with the NARS Light Reflecting Powder, and those two together are just PERFECTION. It lasts all day.
So the next thing is this Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light. After months of research, I decided this was the shade for me. Seriously, they have so many shades to choose from, and each one has a different effect. This is a “finishing” powder, so I will try it out and let you all know what I think.
Another face product I purchased is the Benefit Blush in Hervana. I’ll admit it, I’ve never even given this blush a second look. I’ve seen it in stores, but I never even swatched it cause it just didn’t interest me. Well, after I read my friend Gillian’s pale girl blush post, I knew I needed this blush. I am a fellow pale girl. It doesn’t look special from the box, but swatched all together, it is this beautiful, baby doll pink. I know I am going to love this.
The Sephora Cream Lip Stains. Guys, these are seriously amazing. This shade, 01 Always Red, is their bestselling shade. These are soft and last for hours. I own them in quite a few colors, and for the price, you can’t beat them.
The last little things I picked up were two little sheet masks. I believe these are fairly new, and they come in tons of different colors that all do something different for your skin. I got an eye mask and a face mask. The eye mask is the Lotus Eye Mask, supposed to be good for moisturizing and soothing. The face mask is the Pearl Mask, for perfecting and brightening. I’m excited to try these out.
Did you guys shop the sale?
Also, I’m interested…if you have tried the Ambient Lighting Powder, what shade did you get?
Thanks for reading, xo Amy

we dont have a Sephora at all in Ireland and I’m pretty sure they don’t ship to here either but I hear that they never ever have a sale apart from the VIB sale? I see so many people talk about it haha and love reading posts on it! would love to see a review on the Hervana blush , its something Im looking into getting at the moment but don’t know whether to get it or not.. loved your post xx
Thank you! love reading posts on it too! It’s interesting to see what other people pick out. I’ll definitely do a review on the blush! thanks for stopping by! 🙂
no problem at all 🙂 x
I love the Nars concealer too! I shopped the VIB sale, too, but all I bought was a new Sephora Pro brush because I absolutely love their brushes but they’re so pricey without discounts.
I love their brushes too!!! They are very pricey, but worth it! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
So jealous I missed the sale! But I am obsessed with the Hervana from Benefit, one of my favorite makeup items!
Aw man!!! I am obsessed too, I have been wearing it the past couple of days and it is so nice! It smells good too. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
My VIB sale items are on their way to me 🙂 Can’t wait to get them – there will be a blog post – so watch for it! 😉
Yay!!! I will definitely look out for it Mirela! 🙂
Hervana is simply perfect 🙂 And I’ve heard so much about those Sephora lip creams…?
Are you planning another trip/order? These sales suck me in every single time. (Sigh.)
It is perfect! I wore it for the first time last week and someone actually commented on how good my makeup looked! Yes…I have another order coming
Ahhh! That’s awesome! I thought it was gimmicky until I bought it and then I was converted.
Yay for another haul 🙂 I’ll have a big ‘un…. (Shrugs) 🙂
Yeah it does look gimmicky! I know you will have a big haul!!! Haha
GIRL YOU KNOW IT!
Great items! I got the HG Ambient Lighting Palette and so far I love it. 🙂
I am not really sure how I feel about this ambient lighting powder…I just can’t really notice a difference!
I think it’s a very subtle effect. The palette has a slightly glowing finishing powder, a hightlighter and glowy bronzer. Maybe try taking a pic with and without it and see if you can spot a difference.
Ok! I’ll try that. The one that I got is slightly yellow and not shimmery, so I think it’s a finishing powder.
