Haul: Big Cumulative Sephora and Ulta Haul

Hi there,

August was a good month for beauty purchases (but not really for blogging ;_;). My friend and I went to Sephora to take advantage of the bonus points event, and then right after I went to the States. Being able to get things at a cheaper price at Sephora and looking at Ulta was golden. 🙂 I thought I would share what I picked up.

1. Canadian Bonus Points Sephora Haul

• Meet Your Match – Nail and Lip Kit – $30 CAD

I was debating the Meet Your Match kit for the longest time. I heard that the orchid BITE lip gloss smelled really bad, so that kinda turned me off. After awhile though, I just couldn’t take it and had to have it. :p I haven’t tried any of these brands other than Tarte, so I thought it was worth the price for me. I like everything except the nude nail polish (unfortunately). It’s really tacky and hard to apply. Good news though, the BITE gloss doesn’t smell all that bad. Maybe it will ferment though, we shall see.

• Give Me Some Lip – $30 CAD

This was more of an impulse buy for me. I’ve seen it online and thought how nice it would be, but didn’t think I would pick it up. I guess in the whirlwind of bonus points, I ended up getting it. 😉 I’m very happy with this. This kit contains a lot of higher end brands with many different colours and formulas. I thought I wouldn’t like it because I’m not much of a gloss person, but this kit turned me into a gloss person. Unfortunately, the only thing I don’t love is the full sized Smashbox lip gloss. The colour is this weird nude pink that just makes me look like I just stepped out of the coffin. Attractive.

• Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover Wipes

I picked these up because I ran out of my Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes. So far they work, but I notice they dry out SO quickly so you have to work fast. Within 30 seconds, you’re left holding a stiff Kleenex!

2. US Sephora and Ulta Haul

• Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover – $14 USD

Needed a new makeup remover, so I thought I would pick this up. I bought a mini version of this last year, so I knew the formula was legit. For the price too, it’s nice! The only thing is that I wish the top had a larger opening….I find myself waiting forever to have the product come out onto my cotton pad! 

• Ole Henriksen Oil Free Pore Refining Cleansing Cloths – $15 USD 

I was going to buy these in my Canadian spree, but didn’t cause of price. $15 USD isn’t much cheaper, but I thought might as well. 😛 I’ve just started to use these actually. Very different and interesting. They smell like Vicks Vaporub which is the weirdest thing! I like that they have an exfoliating side though for after you remove your makeup.

•  Glam Glow Youthmud Treatment – $19 USD 

This was something else I was going to buy on the bonus points event in Canada, but didn’t up picking it up. The friend I went with did though, and we tried it right after we got home. It’s so intriguing! Still using it, and I’m liking it! 🙂 Not sure about the full size though, it just seems so expensive…

• It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin – ~$19 USD? (Lost the receipt) 

This is the one thing I picked up from Ulta. It came with a sample conditioner too which I thought was cute. Target in Canada has the It’s a 10 line, but I haven’t seen this one stocked (just the original one). I bought this last year when I went to the States and really liked it.

And there we go! After this haul, I’m not sure if I’ll be buying anything anytime soon (so I say!). Lots of new products to try and enjoy!

Hope you have a great day! 😀
