Collective Sephora Haul

Feeling spendy and being broke does not go hand in hand. But when you're a beauty junkie, that does not stop you!




Less than a month ago, my beloved boyfriend was so sweet to pay for my purchases at Sephora as my 25th birthday gift. So glad that I can now check off some items off my wishlist!


First up, this Marc Jacobs New Nudes Sheer Lip Gel in Eat Cake. It was a love at first sight and was at the top of my wishlist. The colour selection for this collection was so up my street too.


My current tube of Benefit Porefessional Primer at home is finishing soon, and I didn't really like the Tarte Poreless Primer. So decided to pick up this set, which consists of a full-sized Porefessional and deluxe sizes of Stay Flawless Primer and Stay Don't Stray. Can't wait to try out those and compare how it performs.


As my boyfriend and I were in the queue to make our payment, he was asking me if there was anything else that I'll like to get. We were already in the "aisle of doom" surrounded by so many deluxe-sized and travel-sized items. Been wanting to try this Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, and my boyfriend recommended that I get this deluxe-sized one and give it a go. I quite like his logic actually.

Fast forward to yesterday, I was feeling really spendy. And receiving that catalogue from Sephora didn't help either. It was the Christmas season so most things comes in nice gift sets which were rather worth the money!




To be honest, the reason I bought this Make Up Forver Cult Makeup Kit was because of the Step 1 Smoothing Primer. I'm all about face primers. And I had my boyfriend's logic in my head at the moment, and thought this is a good way to test it out. Besides, it comes with 5 other mini items, such as the Aqua Lip Liner, HD Finishing Powder, Aqua Pencil Liner and Aqua Liquid Liner, all wrapped up in a black tissue and enveloped in a metallic orange makeup bag.



The first time I had a whiff of My Burberry, I was in love. The scent was described as "London garden after the rain". That just explains why I loved it so much.


This set caught my eye when I was roaming around the store. I've never tried anything from Caudalie but I believe it's a brand worth trying. And since I'm rather obsessed with hand creams, this was screaming for me. Just waiting to finish up my current hand cream from L'Occitane before I lather my hands in this.


I know I have enough mascaras already, but this Bare Minerals one is so worth the price. The value is for one full-sized mascara, but it comes with a travel-sized one too!



The time that I was with y boyfriend, I actually forgot to present my email which I can redeem my birthday gifts. Fortunately, it still wasn't expired and I was so ecstatic to receive this individual eye shadow trio. Love the neutral shimmery colours, because you can never go wrong with it!


Besides that, I also receive a few other free gifts from Sephora. First, is this two Glamglow masks samples. 



And this gorgeous 2016 calendar. There's even some coupons within the calendar that I can redeem stuff for. Looking forward to start the New Year now!
