Hello hello! Hope you are having a completely wonderful day! I was thinking recently how much I’ve been posting! It’s been crazy! I’m not doing anything really right now so I’ve had lots of time to execute blog posts. 🙂 In a couple of weeks I’ll be starting my full time job which means I’ll probably have less time to read/write blog posts. (Side note, ALMOST cleared my bloglovin’ roll! I can’t believe it!) I’m just going to enjoy the last bit of time that I have to write and then take it as it comes. I’ve never really been into scheduling posts, which probably isn’t the best. Lets see how it goes in the next couple of weeks. 😀
And now what I’m sure you’re here for! A haul. *u*
So I was the +1 for one of my very good friends Leah for the VIB Rouge Points Event Party. She actually just started a beauty blog after my pestering! I’m sure she would really appreciate if you showed her some love, so I’m just gonna leave her blog link here. 😉
Leah had just made VIB Rouge so she had never been to an event either. I didn’t know what to think and didn’t want to have a lot of high expectations (just in case). After having experienced the event, I can say that it was very well done and I think we both enjoyed ourselves a lot! They had a lot of refreshments and chocolates which was soooo awesome.
I should have brought a bigger bag so I could have grabbed more of those Godiva chocolates. YUM. Another really cute dessert that they had was a VIB Rouge cake pop!
So now that it’s established that I consumed my weight in free goodies, lets get on to what I ended up getting!
1. BITE 250 Point Perk
So I had not heard about this anywhere and was so happy to see it! It’s a 250 Sephora point perk reward for BITE, one of my fav makeup companies. It contains a lip gloss and lipstick both in the colour Bellini. I wore these both today and I am so impressed. It’s regular amazing BITE quality. The pigmentation is UNREAL. Love love love. It also came with a mini mirror that I’m not sure will get much use. Oh well, it’s still stinking adorable.
2. Formula X Delete To-Go Nail Polish Remover Pads
Leah and I were both looking to buy the Josie Maran nail wipes but they didn’t have them. Instead I ended up buying these just to try. I didn’t have a super great experience with the Sephora branded nail wipes (which can be read about here) but I do think highly of the Formula X brand. They were expensive at $18 CAD, but I know I will use them up. Lets see how well these will work on my latest glitter nails!
3. Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes
Whilst looking for the nail wipes, I stumbled upon these wipes from Josie Maran from the same line. I’ve been living without face wipes for much too long (about a week…haha) so I decided to grab these. I tried these last night and actually really like them! It says on the package that the purchase of this product helps support polar bears. That’s a plus too!
4. NARS Eye Shadow Primer
Soooo everyone and their mother loves this. I’m almost done my Urban Decay primer potion and I thought this would be a great option! Can’t wait to try this out and see if the hype is real!
5. BITE Matte Creme Lipstick in Mulled Maple
So this was the only thing I knew 100% I would get. I’ve seen this on so many people’s blogs and knew that this is the colour I would go with. They didn’t have any more on the display but THANK GOODNESS there were 2 more in the back. Leah ended picking this up too cause fate right?
6. Urban Decay De-Slick
It’s crazy, whenever I check for the full size of this, they are ALWAYS sold out. It’s probably cause it’s amazing! You can read about my comparison of this and All Nighter here. I think this small size will suffice though since summer is almost over ;____; unfortunately.
Now I’ll show you some of the free stuff that I got at the event. The major thing that I knew/hoped we would be getting is a cosmetic bag filled with free samples.
The bag doesn’t impress me all that much. The design is cute but the material is a fabric similar to a reusable grocery bag. I’d be scared to put liquids in this for travel cause they would definitely soak right through. I’m pretty happy with the size and variety of samples though! I can see myself trying just about everything.
We also got a door prize freebie thing right when we entered
Both are a great size and I can see myself trying both!
So all in all I had a great time. During the event they also had ‘masterclass’ tutorials where the employees demonstrated different trending makeup techniques. We stayed for a few of them and the employees seemed super grateful haha.
Thanks so much for reading and an extra special thanks to Leah for bringing me as her +1 for this event!! 😀 Hope you have a wonderful day!
