I have a mega haul roundup today with my Sephora picks plus an exciting giveaway! If you read my recommendations posts you saw I was mainly planning to stock up on beautyblenders but of course that did not go according to plan. The 15% off for a Rouge Member was too good to pass up and I did two hauls, one in store and the one online. I picked up a few things from each category except for eye makeup. I feel like those Pat McGrath Spring Palettes and the NARSisisst Wanted Eyeshadow Palette really cover everything I need right now! What I bought during the Sephora Spring Bonus Event with some first impressions where applicable. Quick recap on the details:
- Rouge Members: receive 15% off 4/20 through 4/23, use code YAYROUGE
- VIB Members: receive 15% off 4/20 through 4/23, use code YAYVIB
- BI Members: receive 10% off 4/20 through 4/23, use code YAYINSIDER

Makeup – Lips
- Armani Ecstasy Lacquer 100 and 101 – I’ve already tested these and they are a huge miss. Pigment is pretty much non-existant, texture is very thin, I’ve tried others in this formula and they were pretty nice, these are a huge disappointment!
- Dior Addict Lacquer Stick – 320 Nude Wave is a really pretty pink peach, I have been a huge fan of Underground and Rolling, I was hoping they’d expand the color range and they have!
- Bite Agave Lip Mask Champagne – This is a repurchase for me! I’ve also swatched Maple for reference.

Makeup – Face
- Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal, Dreamsicle, Moonstone, Chocolate Geode, Pearl, Rose Quartz etc. swatches of all of the shades in this post here.
- Becca Hydra-Mist Set and Refresh Powder – Many of you raved about this, I’m really excited to try it as it reminds me of the old Prescriptives Powder that was popular in the early 2000’s.
- Cover FX Power Play Foundation in G50 – swatches + review here.
- Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Perfector in Shade 7 – this is a sheer glowy tint that has a hydrating feel and dewy finish. Review on the formula coming this weekend.
- MILK Makeup Blur Stick mini – haven’t tested yet, but excited to try!
- Sunday Riley The Influencer Foundation in 180, 190 and 200 – Detailed review to follow this weekend, I’ve been testing and swatching these and am really impressed! Stores near me each only had around 5 shades to sell in store. I could not find a match so I guessed and ordered online. This base looks like skin but better. It has a really smooth natural finish. 180 is a little peachy for me, 190 is my match right now, 200 is going to be a good summer shade. Quick take is I 100% recommend.
- Tarte Tarteguard Mineral Powder Sunscreen SPF 30 – I have high hopes for this as another sunscreen powder for touch ups during the day. Will keep you posted.

Skincare
- Fresh Sugar Face Polish Full Size – Loved this in a miniature size I bought in a set over the holiday, finally bought the full size.
- La Mer The Eye Concentrate – This is my first luxury eye cream splurge, I usually buy eye creams that are at a lower price point. I have really high hopes for this one!
- La Mer Soft Moisturizing Lotion – Not shown because Andrew has already put it on his side of the bathroom counter and started using it, but I bought this as I used mine up a long time ago and really liked it. He’s pretty impressed so far.
- MILK B.O.S.S. Skincare Set – Thanks to my reader Lawler for putting this on my radar! It has 4 minis of MILK’s Watermelon Serum, Cooling Water, Matcha Toner and Matcha Cleanser in a mini bag.
- Sephora Favorites Power of the Petal Skincare Set – Bought this for the minis!
- Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask – Also excited to give this a try.
- Supergoop! Everyday Sunscreen – Never without this sunscreen. I should have bought the largest size but this size works great for my purse.

Haircare
- Aquis Lisse Luxe Long Hair Towel – Saw this featured on @wendyslookbook’s Instagram Stories and immediately was intrigued! I put it on my wishlist and ordered. It’s just what I needed to cut down drying time.
- Christophe Robin Volumizing Hair Paste – Another repurchase which I love.
- IGK Mistress Hydrating Balm Full Size – Bought the full size, it smells like coconut and I’m obsessed with anything coconut.

Other
- beautyblender BFF Duo – Both are for me, I really should stock up on more of these but they’re so expensive and I already splurged on so much.
- Benefit BADgal BANG! Mascara – I bought the mini when it launched and really liked it! I repurchased in the regular/full size.
- Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc – I’ve been talking about this for months. I bought it. I love it. It’s going to be my spring to summer scent.
