Sephora VIB Rouge Summer Fling Event

This post is from awhile ago but I thought it would be fun to read, especially if anyone was recently joined VIB Rouge or was curious about the program, enjoy!

Sephora sent out an email saying they were having a summer event in my area for VIB Rouge members in my area. I was very excited to receive this email because I live in a smaller city, with a relatively small Sephora compared to some. The event started at 7:00 and ended at 9:00pm, when the mall closes. They closed out the whole store for this event which was very fun and. There were treats and drinks for people to enjoy. You can tell there was time and thought put into this event. It was nice to see that they cared about their customers. As a VIB Rouge being invited to this event I was able to bring one guest, so I brought my mom. What was also awesome about this event was when you spent $35 you received a very nice sample bag. I have to say this event was a lot of fun and I hope my Sephora continues to do them in the future.

This was the purchase I made at the event. It is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit-Sun Dipped, as you can see this is a stunning highlighting palette. I love the amazing glow it gives to my skin.

That Glow!!!

This was the gift that I received since I spent $35+, I have to say that this is a really nice bag on samples. There are no foil packets and they are very high quality products.

Influenster Maybelline Voxbox

Hi guys I recieved some free products to try from Influenster. I received the Maybelline Voxbox, I was very excited to receive these products to try for myself. You can sign up here at https://www.influenster.com

This is the look I created with the products I was sent. 

I have to say I enjoyed all these products. The primer was great because of the blurring effect but also the fact that it illuminates. The lip colour is a nice shade, but I am not a fan of the formula because it does not dry down fully matte. The brow gel is a strong win for me it is a great texture. The mascara is good but I always usually prefer a waterproof formula. The eyeshadow palette was a pleasant surprise the shimmer shades have good pigment, but some of the mattes do as well. The lighter shades are not as pigmented but are still really nice. 

This was a great Voxbox to get in the mail and be able to try more affordable drugstore products that I may not have picked up myself. 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Thanks for reading talk to you soon!

My Makeup Collection

Hi everyone, hope you are doing well! It has been a long time since I got on here and wrote a blog post. As you can tell from the title this is my makeup collection blog post. You will soon be able to tell that I have a lot of makeup. This collection has been growing over the past few years. This is an accumulation of gifts and my own personal purchases. Hope you enjoy looking through my stash, comment down below if you have any post requests. 

The clear stacked drawers are from Costco and the wider ones on the bottom are from Home Sense. These work perfectly to fit all the thing I want to use for everyday. 

I found this rotating brush/pencil holder at Home Sense. The get a lot of great things there, but you have to be willing to hunt around a little.

Ikea Helmer Drawer Unit

These drawers are perfect for me! It fits so well right between my desk and the wall. And they are deep enough to hold small trays and organizers. 

A surprisingly good mascara is the Great Lash Waterproof Mascara, I was able to get in on sale at Walmart with a coupon for $3.00. Which I personally think is a fantastic deal for a mascara. It works great to separate the lashes and lengthen.

I love my Naked Basics Palette, it is a great neutral eyeshadow palette but I use the darker brown to fill in my brows everyday.

As you can see I love Nars blush, I have been able to score a tiny sample size, receive one as a gift, and find another at Winners. They are expensive but these are some of the best!

Benefits Hoola Matte Bronzer is still one of my favourites! It is such a great colour for my fair skin tone. 

The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is my favourite concealer. If you like the Nars creamy concealer I am sure you will like this one as well. It is a great concealer and I find it does not crease on my dry skin.

This drawer is filled with my favourite lipsticks. I have to say that one of my favourite lipsticks is one from Dollar Tree. It is the lipstick in the white packaging L.A. Colours it smells like a MAC lipstick (they smell like vanilla). The lipstick is very pigmented and are very creamy, I would highly recommend. 

Lorac Pro Palette would have to be my favourite ten in this drawer it is such a versatile palette. It has a shimmer row and a matte row and the shadows are very smooth. 

This is my random lipstick drawer, Starting from the left I have nude lipstick, other colours, and then glosses. These containers are from the Dollar Tree and they are perfect for these drawers. I still could fit two more in the back. 

I love the Vitamin E Face Mist from The Body Shop. I have quite dry skin and this is perfect for setting my makeup. It is really hydrating and gives my skin so much glow. I do have to say my skin is dry but I do need to blot with a blotting tissue on my forehead, nose, and chin after using this spray. So I would not recommend this for all skin types but it is a nice spray just to have on hand as a quick moisturizer. 

This is a random drawer where I just keep so miscellaneous items that I do not use on a daily basis. 

This is a truly random drawer I keep random things that are not necessarily makeup related.

These are some spare reusable clothes I use to wipe my hands, brushes, and dry my Beauty Blender. They are great to have on hand and better than uses Kleenex all the time. 

And here is a final overview of my set up. Hope you enjoyed reading and seeing what I have in my collection. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!
