Spring Makeup Shopping Spree

Yesterday I went shopping at my local mall for new makeup.  I have a wedding coming up quick for my friends and need a fresh new look.  As a V.I.B. member of Sephora, I receive 15% off my purchase today so what better time to go than now!  Sephora also has 15% off for regular Sephora members also but it was only V.I.B. members yesterday. Since my birthday is April 22, I also received a free birthday gift! I can't wait to use all my new products.  Sephora is definitely my favorite beauty store, and a very dangerous place for me!  These are the products I bought...

I went into Sephora to get more informed on BB Cream.  I had a makeup artist help me choose a BB Cream and the right color for my skin tone. I decided to go with the Tarte BB Cream in Fair.  They are really great with helping you choose the right makeup for your skin tone.  The girl sat me down at the makeup studio seat and showed me how to apply it as well. 

 I love Tarte, also because it is all natural makeup.

This is what it looks like.

Next, I chose this Tarte bronzer because the one I had was a drug store brand and didn't do a good job. This is the Park Ave Princess Bronzer in Matte Waterproof.  They only have two bronzers which are the same color; one waterproof and the other is not.

Since I have been loving lavender shades, I saw this Nars Highlighting Blush Powder and had to have it! I can't wait to try this blush out. Nars Highlighting Blush Powder in New Order.

 I have been telling myself to get this Nars lipgloss for the longest time.  

It is Nars Lipgloss in Turkish Delight.

I also got two makeup brushes.  I got Sephora's Pro Collection brushes.  

#56 which is a Flawless Airbrush which is a foundation brush (in picture, top brush). 

 I will be using it to apply my BB Cream as well.

  And also #16, (in picture, bottom brush) 

which is a Domed Crease brush which is for applying eyeshadow.

 I also bought a brush cleaner which I ran out of.

Those are all of the things I PURCHASED. However, there's more =)

Like I said I received a free gift for my birthday...

And also a free tote! With 7 free samples inside!

 

And last but not least, I had over 100 points so I received this 

free sample of Benefit's POREfessional, which I have also been dying to try!

All in all, I had a very successful shopping trip at Sephora!

but of course, I had to stop at MAC for one lipstick...

Angel which is a Frost Lipstick (I want to pair this with the Nars Turkish Delight Lipgloss!)

I wanted to be comfortable so I just paired light pink skinny jeans,

 with a denim shirt and moccasins.

Shirt and Pants!
