Novemeber Haul from Sephora VIB (20%); Beauty.com (20%) and NuMe (65%)

Sephora had a back-to-back discount with there Friends and Family and VIB Sale (20%) in the month of November

Beauty.com was also having there Friends and Family (20%) for the month of November.

Sephora:

This bag is not as big as it seems.  I just put all my products from Sephora and Beauty.com in 1.

I shopped online twice and during one trip I didn't use the VIB discount code because combined codes were not allowed.  I wanted  this bag full of travel and sample size products. Sephora was offering 3 different types of bags with different products.

Red snake pattern plastic bag 

Too Face La Belle Carousel

The set includes 12 eyeshadows; 2 blushes; 2 bronzers and deluxe size mascara (picture above)

Although the packaging reminded me of something you would find in a 5 year old girl's room the set overall is cute.  It includes 5 mini palettes, which 2 palettes are just blush and bronzer (the reason for my purchase), 3 eyeshadow palettes that consists 4 eyeshadows per palette and a deluxe size of Better Than Sex mascara.

Another reason I purchased this product is because it was a perfect stocking stuffer.  On the back of each palette it has "To:" and "From:" that made it so easy and friendly as a gift giver.

 

I purchased the oil-gel cleanser and scrub last year and really liked it.  Therefore, I was super excited with this year's holiday set because it came with the oil-gel cleanser, beauty oil and scrub.

I'm not big on perfume and have own very few in my life because I am allergic to most scent.  Yet, I love Chloe' and bought it as a stocking stuffer.  As a makeup junkie, I had to keep Roses of Chloe' for me :)

Benefit The Porefessional Primer

No matter how many primers I have used in the past, I always return to what I consider the BEST primer!  It's a silicone primer that works GREAT to reduce large pores, it's lightweight and dissolves easily without leaving any residue.  It even smells nice. 

Caudalie Vinoperfect Anti-Aging Serum

This is an expensive brand but worth every penny.  It's an anti-aging serum that helps with dark spots, dry skin and leave your skin looking and feeling rejuvenated. 

Soap & Glory Flake Away

I have repurchased this product about 4-5 times just in this year alone.  I can't get enough!  It leaves your skin fresh and soft and it smells delicious!  

I also purchased the other Flake Away that doesn't have Shea Butter (didn't take a picture - it was a Christmas present).

Beauty.com:

 

I only picked up 2 items from Beauty.com, which of course I regret because I usually buy my M. Kores perfume and I didn't :(

The Body Shop - Xmas 5 mini body lotion set

I bought this set as a gift giver for my coworkers at work.  The packaging is so cute that I really didn't want to open it :)

Lorac Holiday  3D Liquid Lustre

I think everyone should own at least 1 of these babies!  First, I want to point out the packaging - Beautiful!!!!   It comes in a red velvet box with large gold prints.  This is a great product especially for people who loves glitter but hate to deal with fall out because it enhances your eye application without the mess.  
* The one outside of the box is a re-promo from last year's holiday set.

L to R: Opal; 24K; Rose Quartz; & Platinum

• Opal is a white iridescent color mix with blue sparkle
• 24 K is obviously a gold color
• Rose Quartz is my favorite color.  It has a silver/white and a bit of gold sparkles
• Platinum is a gun metal color 

I posted this picture on my instagram (francesortiz80) the other day.  Yes, it's a horrible and out of focus picture, but you can see the true colors.  I was having so much problems getting a good shot and I guess its because I only used a primer and should have used a shadow as a base too.  Sorry :(

NuMe

These tools are my new 2 best friends - it's just PERFECT!  Now of course the Megastar iron is my favorite since it's the tool that I would get more use out of since I have natural curly hair. However, when I do have my hair straighten, I can now curl it to my desire.
