Haul: Sephora Boxing Day 2013

Hello!

Happy New Year! 🙂

I was hoping to post this earlier, but I’ve been a combination of busy and lazy. Anyhoo, here are some things that I picked up from Sephora on Boxing Day (Dec 26th, equivalent of Black Friday in the Canada).

Everything was $12 CAD except the Gimme Brow ($26).

1. Caudalie Winter Moisture Kit (Link)

I’ve never tried anything from the Caudalie brand, but I know my friend that I was shopping with has used and liked their products. I’ve used the hand cream a couple of times, and i’m quite pleased. It soaked into my skin super quickly, and has a very mild scent. I’m excited to try out the rest.

2. Benefit Besties (Link)

This was one product that I sort of regret buying. I picked it up just because I saw the Benefit name without actually looking what it was. I’ve been using a sample size of That Gal and have really liked it, so at least I’ll get use out of that.. I didn’t know that there was a foundation in the shade ‘medium’ along with it…The shade is way too dark for my skin, but maybe I’ll be able to find a use for it? Here’s hoping.

3. Tarte Clean Slate Sampler (Link)

Seemed like a super cute sampler. I’ve started to look more into the Tarte brand, but it’s super expensive. The only thing I’ve used was the eye primer in the white bottle on the right. Eek, it was all liquidy and had seemed to separate. Even when I mixed it up, it still had a very water consistency. I did like that it left a nice shimmer though, but definitely unsure if I would purchase that one full size.

Excited to try out the face primers as I’ve been bouncing between a few lately. 🙂

4. Benefit Gimme Brow (Link)

I bought this at full price because I knew that I wanted it. I was a little skeptical because I didn’t try it before buying (yuck at the testers in Sephora…) but so far I’m really really impressed. I wanted this product because I thought it would be like a brow filler and clear mascara in one. So far, it’s living up to these expectations! 😀

5. Ole Henriksen The Naked Truth (Link unavailable)

During my Sephora Black Friday haul, I picked up something from Ole Henriksen so I decided to try this as well. I’ve only tried these product once, and ugh, the cream! The serum it comes with was fine. Went on very smooth and I liked the feeling of it. Once I put the creme on top though I instantly regretted it. OMG the smell. I’m not sure if I just got a bad batch, but it smelled putrid. It was like orange with a butt load of chemicals. I’m scared to try it again. D:

And there we have it! Thanks for reading!
