SEPHORA MINI HAUL!

I am so excited, I got my Sephora order in the mail yesterday! I actually ended up placing two orders because after I placed the first one, my Urban Decay NAKED2 palette, I decided that I really wanted to try out the new Urban Decay NAKED Skin Foundation. What I love about Sephora is that you always get to pick 3 free samples with every order so with placing two orders I got 6!! I as well had some coupon codes that got me a free Buxom Big & Healthy Lipstick and another coupon for the second order that got me a little bag with 6 perfume samples! I love perfume so I am so excited about this! (I will post codes if you want to order anything off their site =]) Sephora also has the option of spending $50 and you get free 3 day shipping so I took advantage of that for sure! Overall I spent a little over $100 and since I am in their Beauty Insiders' Club I got 100+ points for that order so I used 100 of my points and got a free gift!

So here is what I got!



YAY! I have been wanting the Urban Decay NAKED2 Palette for forever so I am so happy I got it! I have already used it for a brown smokey eye and the pigmentation is great! The colors are so beautiful and they are very smooth! The palette came with a travel sized Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked. I love the packaging on the lipgloss it is so adorable! The brush that came with the palette is very nice, the bristles are smooth and apply the eyeshadow nicely!

I am so happy I decided to place a second order to get this! I got it in the color 2; it matches my skin really well, although it does have a little bit of a yellow tint to it. I am so in love with it already. I used my ELF Cosmetics Studio Powder Brush to apply it, it went on so nicely! The coverage can be built up to how you prefer it, it does not even feel like you are wearing Foundation! I absolutely love how my face feels when I wear this foundation! It sales for $38 and is 1 OZ. It is definitely worth the cost and I will buy it again without hesitation.

This is the Sephora Be You Lip Balm in Coral Twist. I have never tried their lip balm before so I decided to give it a try. It is very sheer but it does leave a coral tint on the lips. It's retail price is $3 but I just looked at the site and it looks like they aren't selling it any longer..

The last item I bought is the Living Proof Shampoo. I really wanted to try this out because I received Living Proof's styling cream in my June Myglam bag and I loved it, so I thought I would try out their shampoo. I only bought a 2 OZ size because I am picky when it comes to shampoo so I did not want to buy the larger size in the case that I did not like it. (The 2oz size is $10) I tried this yesterday and I love it! I have become a huge fan of Living Proof now; I will definitely be buying the full size shampoo as well as a conditioner to see if I like that too. My hair is so soft and shiny right now it is incredible. I definitely rate this product 10/10!

Ok to the free stuff I got! First I will show you what I got with my Beauty Insider points..

Philosophy Purity Cleansing Gel (1 OZ)

I tried this as well yesterday an I thought it did a great job at removing my make up in the shower. It did not take away all of my eye make up, but it took away enough so that I did not get out looking like a raccoon lol. I really liked this cleanser because I have sensitive skin and most cleansers make my face breakout in a rash but this one didn't so I am very happy with this!

My free products with the coupon codes!

The first code I used was 6SCENTS  and when you enter this in at the checkout you can chose between 4 different bags of perfume samples. I picked 'playful' mostly because it had the Aquolina Pink Sugar perfume, I already got one in my Beauty Army sub and I love it! The other perfumes that came with this are Marc Jacobs Oh Lola, Versace Bright Crystal, Clinique Happy, Ralph Lauren Romance, and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia. I really enjoy all of the scents, I absolutely love perfume samples because I travel a lot and I can actually take these small bottles on the plane. I smelt the Giorgio Armani one and I was like this reminds me of something from when I was younger and I just couldn't think of what; I called my mom and was telling her about it and she told me that she actually wore it when I was younger! Isn't it funny how after so long we still remember scents even if we cannot always pinpoint them? The second coupon code I used was YOURGIFT and it will let you pick a deluxe sample gift; I picked the Buxom Big & Healthy Lip stick in Marrakech. It honestly isn't my color once I actually saw it in person but I think it will look pretty good with a darker lipgloss over it! 

Free Samples!

Since I placed two orders I got 6 free samples!! YAY!! With my first order I picked the Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation sampler because I wasn't sure which skin color would fit me, even though I ended up buying the color 2 the same day lol, I got both orders the same day so I decided to try the sample of 2 first just to make sure it fit so I am very happy it did! It also came with samples of the colors 3.5, 4 and 8. IF ANY OF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE COLORS AND WANT TO TRY THEM OUT POST A COMMENT WITH YOUR EMAIL AND I WILL SEND YOU THE EXTRA SAMPLE =] The next sample I picked was the Yves Saint Laurent TOUCHE ECLAT radiant touch samples, it comes with 1, 2, 3, and 4. The Hour Glass Veil Fluid Make up Oil Free SPF 15 in Nude. The Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers' invisible oil (I love trying new hair products!) and last but not least I got 2 of the CoverFX Clearprep FX matte foundation primer and anti-acne treatment. I love trying new primers and this one really caught my eye because it is also an anti-acne treatment so I really wanted to give this a try!

Have you bought any new products lately?

MYGLAM BAG JULY

YAY good news I got my July Myglam Bag!!! This is only my second bag but I think I signed up at the perfect timing because both the June and July bags have been amazing!! Lets get started with what was all in the bag!

As usual the bag came in the metallic pink packaging (not pictured) and inside was the post cards with all the information on the products that you received. There is a note card introducing the Andrea's Choice nail polish that actually has a sticker on it, cute if you have kids they love stickers! The last note card is a Nume note card that has coupon codes. I will not be using them so if you would like to use them here are the deals. $49 for a set of Hydro Punch or Pure Remedy Products MGLAM405387547 and a 50% off any products on http://www.numestyle.com/ MG194243561

Now to the good part!! The theme of the July bag is 'Beach Beauty' and was nothing less than amazing, I got exactly what I was wanting so I am a very happy camper. I also loved that I have not tried any of the products in the bag previously so I am excited to try out new items. The bag itself was cute and perfect for the summer; it is a mesh bag so you can take it to the beach or even in the shower. Also the bag did not stink at all like last months bag did! 

The first item I pulled out of the bag were the Yes To Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes.

I wasn't sure if I was going to try these right away because I got my hair colored a few days ago and I ended up being allergic to the hair dye so my face and neck are both covered in a rash, just my luck! I decided to try them out anyways and like it says on the package they are very soothing! They did not irritate my skin where I was rashed out, they actually comforted it, so I will be buying these in a full size!

The second item I pulled out of the bag was the Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color.

Omg the packaging of this is so adorable!! The nail polish comes in a plastic tube case which is something that I have never seen before so that was really new and cute to see. I am not sure if Andrea herself designed the packaging but whoever did design it did an amazing job! I got the yellow nail polish in Somersault. Thank you Myglam Gods, it was like they knew I wanted the yellow!! I have a few white polishes already and only had one yellow polishes but it is old and needs to go into that garbage, so thank you Myglam for sending the yellow one to me! I tried this product out as well; I had to use 3 coats for the color to be solid. It is a little bit streaky but since it is new they might still be changing the formula. Overall I do like this product, the packaging has won me over it is to die for.

The third product I got was the Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer.

I honestly would have been happy by getting either of the "OR" products in this selection. The other product was a Kiehl's facial lotion. I have not tried this product yet, I am waiting for my face to become rash free first and then I will try it out on the beach!

The fourth item I got was the Nume Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner.

I love conditioner, especially new conditioners because my hair is thick and a bit damaged from dying my hair for over the past 10 or so years. I am planning on trying this out tonight so hopefully it goes well and I like it!

The last product I got, *drum roll please*, was the Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Leslie. I was over the moon when I saw that this was in my bag, mostly everyone wanted the stain but I was set on wanting this lipgloss. Even if I would have got the stain I knew a few people that would have switched with me, so that was nice to know. I have already fallen in love with this gloss, it is a lip plumping gloss so your lips will get that numbing feeling. The color is a sheer sparkly pink, I love pink glosses so this color was perfect for me! The gloss is not super sticky so that is a positive in my book. Overall I would buy this product again.

Here is a swatch of the Buxom Lip Polish

I honestly have nothing bad to say about this months bag I give it an A+++! Everything was sealed, minus the lipgloss, and I really appreciate when items are sealed! I love getting deluxe travel sized items because I fly a lot from one end of the country to the next every couple months or so.

Myglam bag is only $10 a month for at least 4 items, I would definitely recommend this subscription to anyone. They have been doing so great the past two months, I cannot wait to get some sneak peaks of next months bag! If you would like to join the Myglam Bag Subscription you can sign up at http://www.myglam.com/ I think there currently is a wait list but I think getting into this subscription is worth the wait!
