I took advantage of the Sephora Beauty Insider sale and used my VIB Rouge discount for a massive haul. I planned on stocking up on skincare and haircare staples, but there seemed to be a wave of new beauty launches too. I ended up placing a couple of orders online. Here is the majority of what I bought. I have one more package coming in the mail but I’ll be out of town when it arrives at my home later this week. Be warned, this list is very long.
1 + 2 + 3 / Surratt Beauty just launched at Sephora, most of what I wanted was already sold out by the time the sale started, but I managed to order three Artistique Blushes in Guimauve, Parfait and Aurelole plus the Large Custom Palette Case. I also bought one Lip Lustre in Coquette.
4 / Urban Decay released the Naked Skin Ultra Definition Powder Foundation in a wide range of colors. Each of the main shades come in Warm, Neutral and Cool. I picked out Medium Light Warm, I hope this is the right color for me, it’s hard to tell in stores.
5 / Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders in Dim Light and Diffused Light come highly recommended by my readers as all over setting powders. I have Dim Light in the Palette Form which I really like but feel it’s easier to dip a large fluffy brush in a larger compact. I’ve been obsessed with Diffused Light after testing it for a few days, it’s the perfect all over setting powder.
6 / Koh Gen Do Cleansing Wipes are a must for me. I stocked up on the 3-pack.
7 / Laura Mercier Baked Blush Bronze Compact in Ritual is new for me, but I don’t think it’s a new shade. I have swiped it a couple times on the hand and it looks very dark, but there is a pretty pink glow mixed in. From what I have read, each one has different swirl patterns.
8 / Lavanila is new to me and I usually buy Dove deodorants but the concept of a soft vanilla scent in deodorant seemed really interesting. Fresh Vanilla Lemon is a light vanilla with a hint of citrus.
9 / SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil has been on my list to try for a long time. I decided to use the discount to save on this since full retail is $70. Review to come as I play with this.
10 / Christian Louboutin Nail Colour in Wherever is a deep but bright blue cream. I reviewed all of The Nudes here. I have several of the brighter Pops Colors and love the formula.
11 / Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con No. 7 in The Lolita and The Lover are really pretty neutrals. Swatches and review posted here.
12 / Tatcha Aburatorigami Japanese Beauty Papers Duo is a Sephora exclusive. Review of the full size version here. This duo has a small pack of Evening Papers in a darker color that is purse-sized. I haven’t tried them yet but I couldn’t resist a small one for clutches or small bags.
13 / YSL Gloss Volupte in Nude Carat has been on my radar for a while. The sale made me do it.
14 / I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from the Drybar line. These Hold Me Hair Clips are perfect for sectioning hair up when you curl, straighten or blow dry the hair. They are large and angled so they really grip large sections of hair without tugging, pulling or getting tangled without leaving dents.
15 / Tarte is a line I haven’t explored much of but the Smolder Eyes Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner has gotten so many raves. I bought Sunstone Bronze.
16 / Surratt Beauty Surreal Skin Concealer seems promising as it comes highly recommended by Beauty Professor. I don’t have immediate access but I ordered Shades 4 and 5 based on her swatches. I’m excited to try it.
Other items on their way include some haircare, skincare and lipgloss:
Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer (for my husband)

I'm so sad the sale is ending already! Great recommendations, I hadn't yet heard about Surratt Beauty! xo Kelly http://mydazzlelight.blogspot.com/
That's a fabulous haul! I can't wait to receive mine, but as I'm in Australia, I had to send to a shipping forward company, so it'll be a few more days yet I think. I made it worth it though! Hourglass bronzer, Clinique colour pops, Ko gen doh foundation, LM new silk creme and a few more. So much excitement!

I overdid it! 2 instore & 4 small online orders for things I couldn't find instore. From memory… mercier ritual bronzer like you, YSL Rouge couture #24, Cover Fx illuminating powder in Sunlight (love!). Perricone no highlighter highlighter,, Becca Lychee shimmer souffle,Butter London polish in Kip, a Mustela set for a baby shower, Nails Inc VB Judo red (already had the Bamboo and love it!), Clinique Cola Pop blush., a SuperGoop sunscreen..probably forgetting something!
I wish I had the money to buy another eyeshadow palette, especially the marc jacobs ones! they look so pretty!

You are such a girl after my own heart Sabrina. Escentual in UK started 20% off all make up last night so I have loaded my online shopping trolley until it's virtually groaning. In June they usually have 1/3 off all French brands so that will be another splurge on keeping the basics like Caudalie, La Roche Posay, Embryolisse and Bioderma stocked. And of course Tom Ford Soleil launches next Monday in UK. Such a lovely feeling when all your parcels arrive. Xx
Wow that is a great haul, I look forward to hearing about some of the products! I have a small haul on my blog currently and there are a few more items coming by mail (I made a few smaller orders, somehow they fooled me into thinking I hadn't spent that much, but I'm sure my visa bill is not happy :P)
I just got the Surratt Beauty Lip Lustre, so now I’m even more excited to try it. I need to check out the powder foundation – love Urban Decay. And Koh Gen Do Cleansing Wipes are a fave of mine, too.
Gloss And Magic
I LOVE YSL Nude Carat! Looking forward to your reviews.
Suratt sold out so fast I didn't score anything on my list from that line! Lucky you!!
Omg such an amazing haul! I don't know how I missed the announcement of Suratt coming to Sephora. I would have ordered at least one thing during the sale just to try them out lol. I ended up splurging a bit on this sale but there's still a few things I want like one of those new Hourglass bronzers. Your haul just reminded me to keep an eye out for them in stores
Follow me to Fancieland
Surratt concealers seam great! I wanna try them out
Lots of love, xx
