What I got at the Sephora VIB & Rouge Sale!

Hi guys, I know I've been slacking on posting at the time I usually do, but I really prefer to post when I'm completely happy with a post, even if it does delay the post by a few hours/ a day.

As most of you know, last week was the Sephora VIB & VIB  Rouge sale! I didn't really make a wish list about the items I wanted, because there are constantly so many items I want, that I thought that post would be wayy too long. Today, I am going to talk to you about the items I did end up purchasing!

This time around, I decided to only buy what I actually needed, instead of buying a whole bunch of lippies and eyeshadow palettes (which I really wanted to do, but had some self-control this time around). I had run out of my favorite skincare products, and had to stock up. Let's get right into what I bought!

Beauty Blender

Okay, so this product isn't skincare, but my Real Techniques sponge had just starting ripping, and it was time for a new one! I was a little skeptical. I didn't think there was going to be a sponge that did the job as well or even better than the RT sponge. I was wrong. It's crazy. My makeup comes out flawlessly. I can't believe it! Why did it take me so long to buy one? I didn't really want to spend the money when the RT sponge was doing the job just fine. I don't know if it's worth it yet, but I'm loving it, and for 15% off, I really can't complain too much.

Even though its's super obvious, I want to state that, yes, I did use the Beauty Blender before taking these pictures, and no, I didn't clean the sponge before taking the actual pictures. One, I'm too lazy, and two, I didn't want to re-wet the sponge when I wasn't going to do my makeup today.

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum

I had finished the Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Serum, and I was trying to figure out, which of the two I was going to rebuy. When it came down to it, the Ole Henricksen Truth Serum worked amazingly with my skin and came with more product for the cost. While I loved the Potent-C Serum, I couldn't justify the cost.

I got a deluxe sample of this product a while back, and I fell in love with the product. I even got a promo code for an extra 10-day supply. I knew that eventually I was going to buy the full size. They have two sizes, and I decided to get the large size. Definitely don't regret it at all.

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask

This product has been hyped up by so many influencers, that I had to see if the hype was real. I'm always looking for masks to hydrate my skin, especially for when I go traveling. I suffer from extremely dry skin, and when I go on planes, my skin is definitely not happy with me.

I bought this mask, and while I've only used it once, omg it's done my skin wonders. I honestly have no other words. It works!

**note that I was a little surprised by the size of the tube. Online and in pictures it looked much bigger...just saying**

First Aid Beauty Kona Eye Stick

I wasn't originally planning on buying this product. I heard of this product because of Patricia Bright. She was talking about how it used to do her eyes wonders, and when I searched the product I was really interested in it's effects. So this little stick looks like a chapstick! You put the product on your under eyes, and it's supposed to brighten, depuff, and decrease the look of wrinkles. It's non-scented, and I absolutely love it. I literally roll it under my eyes in the morning and at night. It's super simple to use, and I feel like my eyes just look happier in terms of me not looking sleepy! My eyes are simply loving it. I really recommend you check it out!

    First Aid Beauty Kona Eye Stick Sounds like a perfect product for me. My under-eyes require so much concealer in the morning! I use to try and freeze green tea bags to help them de-puff. I always wish there were Sephora stores near where I live. I went into one in Barcelona and I just wanted to buy everything! xx

      Sephora sells lots of brands (If you have trouble finding skincare, you might have a better chance getting it there)! They send to sell higher end products (no drugstore products, which is something to keep in mind. Thanks so much for reading and commenting Kate 🙂 xx

      I love every single Ole Henriksen product I’ve ever used! And i like the beauty blender better! It’s crazy for me to admit this, because i always thought I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in application, but i can definitely tell 🙈
