Sephora Favorites Trending: Beauty's Most Coveted & Tarte!

Thought to have a look at what was new and on sale at Sephora while I was picking up a new UD finishing spray. Decided to pick up this Sephora Favorites set and Tarte's energy noir palette, that was on sale for $26! Love a good palette steal, especially coming from Tarte!

Let us have a breakdown first on beauty's most coveted set. This is one of the first Sephora favorites set that I've ever felt so strongly to buy. At $75 you're getting full sized and deluxe sized products, 12 of the most popular brands around. A $219 value, here is what you're getting in the kit:

- Beauty Blender sponge in Nude : full size

- Becca Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone : deluxe size 

- Benefit Cosmetics Ka-Brow! in Shade 3 : deluxe size

- Cover FX Enhance Click in Bubbly : deluxe size

- The Estee Edit Edgiest Kohl Shadowstick in 01 Black Viper : full size

- Foreo Luna - Play (up to 100 uses) : smallest size Foreo produces

- Glamglow Supermud : trial size

- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper : full size

- Laura Mercier Travel Size Translucent Loose Letting Powder and Puff (holy grail!) : travel size

- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard : deluxe size

- Tarte Marine Boosting 4in-1 Mist (love this!!!) : trial size

- Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in 714 (full size lipstick?! Thank you!) : full size

Okay, so I'm obsessed with this kit!! You get 4 full sized products, 4 deluxe size products (which will last you awhile), and the rest being travel size and of course the Foreo cleanser! That really bought me into it the most, I put a picture of the Play for size reference. You should be able to get up to 100 uses from it before the battery dies, it's great if you ever wanted to try their products. It also comes with a free gift code for the Foreo site, I found that to be very awesome. Overall a big fan of this kit! Definitely pays for itself.

I also picked up the Tarte Energy Noir palette for $26! Retailed at $38 I just couldn't pass it up. Pigmentation on these are pretty good, some colors are a little chalky, but they are easy to blend.

Here are the swatches from top to bottom:

- Blush: Unearthed

- Highlighter: Crystal Spark

- Lunar Eclipse

- Power Plum

- Misty Mauve

- Up Too Slate

- Stone Unturned

- Dark Drive

- Charged Up

- Full Moon

My only complaint is to the intended liners - Lunar Eclipse and Power Plum - these two are a bit chalky, but with some work you can get them to work as great liners! I really love the highlighter for face and in the inner corner of the eye, gorgeous color. The packaging is also very nice, size is good for travel and colors are very versatile for day and night. Also love that it clicks to close, no chance of it opening on its own in your bags. You can still purchase this palette at Tarte's website for $38, they do have a $10 off coupon available though when you sign up for emails!

Till next time!

Sephora Haul

So of course I stopped into Sephora to merely look around and just pick up a new blush. But of course that never happens and I end up losing my mind in that place! It all started with that Bite Beauty product and it dissolved from there. So here is the list of everything that I thought I needed and with prices in case you were curious...

I also received a VIB/VIB Rouge appreciation bag that contained sample sizes of Benefit's They're Real mascara, a mini Beauty Blender solid cleanser, Belief aqua bomb lotion, a Dr. Brandt exfoliator, Origins moisturizer with sheer tint release, a Fresh skincare essentials sample kit (soy face cleanser, rose face mask, and Lotus Youth Preserve face cream), a Atelier Cologne in Mandarine Glaciale, and finally two matte lipstick samples and lip flip shade transformer samples from Estee Edit. (lipsticks were Killin' It and Abt Last Night. Lip Flips were Turn Up and Turn Down)

And finally I also renewed my VIB Rouge membership and received a mini NARS blush in Goulue! Gorgeous color, well worth the money. 

Till next time!
