Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle
I am sure you are well aware, but the Sephora VIB Rouge sale kicked off yesterday. And you are probably FLOODED with “Sephora VIB Recommendations” posts and videos. So I thought I would throw my two cents into the mix. 🙂 This isn’t a “wish list” or a “I hear everyone talking about…” kind of recommendations post. These are all products I currently own, love, and use on a weekly basis!
The spring is such a fun season because not only is it getting warmer (at least for us here in Virginia) but all the beauty brands are releasing their new spring products and collections. And Ulta is no exception — there are many brands who’ve released products that are exclusive and can be found only at Ulta. And those are the products I’m going to be sharing with you today. So let’s take a look at what you need to check out the next time you’re visiting your local store. 😉
Who wants to see what I got during the 20% off Sephora VIB/VIB Rouge sale??? This is the first year I’ve participated and received the coupon, so I had fun daydreaming about all the products I would love to get (which you can see here). But these products are the ones that I actually ended up purchasing.
My Price: $44
I didn’t mention this set in my Sephora, but I really wish I had. It’s such an incredible value and a big reason why I had to shrink my wishlist so I could accommodate this purchase.
This set gives you 10 fragrance samples to try out…but the best part is that this set also includes a voucher to redeem a full-size bottle of your choice from the set for FREE. So….if you do the math like I did, I paid $44 to (potentially) get a fragrance bottle that retails at $72.
Talk about some savings! And you also get a bunch of sample fragrances from high-end, really luxurious brands. I love getting sample perfumes as they’re perfect to throw in your purchase or take while traveling. And I like to mix up my fragrances. 🙂

My Price: $24
I’ve been wanting to expand my (very) small collection of bronzers. I’ve eyed the TooFaced Chocolate Soleil bronzer before, loving the idea that it smells nice and (from what I hear) looks very natural on our skin. So what better time to try it out than when I can get it at a discounted price! 🙂
I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out yet, but I can’t wait!
This is actually the only item that I ended up getting from my Sephora Wish List post last week. How funny how that all turned out!
These lip pencils look so beautiful! I love the pigmentation that Bite Beauty always gives, so I know I won’t be disappointed in that area. The value for this set is really awesome. The price for a full size is $24, and the fact that you get 4 decent sized lip pencils…just made this a no brainer for me! 🙂
Keep an eye on my Instagram for more picture love and swatches.
My Price: $17.60
This was an impulse buy, but I was really intrigued by the claims of this lip product. I’ve been on the hunt for a product that will dry on my lips and not budge the entire day. Like the Kat Von D liquid lipsticks. This color really seemed right up my alley.
I’ve worn it once since purchasing it, and loved how it dried onto my lips so quickly and with a lot of pigmentation. Now I just have to try it out and see how many hours it lasts!
I just realized how many lip product’s I purchased in this haul! Wow! Well, I can no longer say that I don’t have a large lip collection. 😛
I haven’t tried this one out yet, but it’s claims are similar to the Stila lipstick that I mentioned above. I’ve tested it out in the stores before, and it seemed to dry and stay in place. So I have high hopes for this one!
I purchased it in a lighter color than the Stila lipstick because I wanted a longwearing lip color that I could wear for an every day look. Because if you’re like me….I enjoy wearing lipstick every day, but it isn’t very practically when the hubby comes home and doesn’t want to get any lipstick on his own lips. 😛
