Like a kid in a candy store

Ahh Sephora how I love thee! I get excited whenever I see that shiny black bag and know that there are some great goodies waiting for me. Part of this haul was a Christmas gift from my mom and the other part was purchased with my VIB gift card.

Clairsonic Mia - I've been concentrating on skincare recently and been hearing raves about it for months. I typically use the Kirkland wipes to remove my make-up and then wash my face with the MAC Foaming Cleanser but I wanted to try something else. I'll let you know how it works.

Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum - I've been a fan of Moroccanoil but find it hard to find near me. When one of my friends mentioned it, I decided to try it out. I've been using S Factor Dream Drops which make my hair feel so greasy even when I use the tiniest amount of product. I wish I could take it back since it was expensive but I can't.

Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava - I've become a fan of this brand ever since I tried their mango grapefruit line. I also have indian coconut and tuscan blood orange. I prefer their scents over those of Victoria's Secret or Bath & Body Works. I find that their body butters are moisturizing and not too greasy.

Sephora by OPI in Midnight Mambo - you can see a swatch of it here and that's really all I needed to see to purchase it. Love me some glitter!

I also got samples of Juicy Couture's Peace, Love & Juicy, Flower By Kenzo and Aquolina's Pink Sugar and my 100 point sample of Philosophy's Microdelivery Purifying Peel. I have close to 900 beauty points but the 500 point Bare Essentuals gift did not entice me at all.



Did you get any new beauty goodies?

  1. Nice haul! :D
    I've had a Clarisonic for a few years and I gotta say I love it. I think you're gonna like it...well I hope so. I just bought myself the Mia though because it seems when I travel I neglect my skincare routine so now I have no excuse to not cleanse properly. LOL Of course I love the polishes too.

  2. Thanks D! I am liking it a lot so far. I notice that even though I use the wipes and wash my face, it wasn't removing all my MU like the clairsonic does.

  3. I gotta say that I would do the same things when I go shopping. Especially when they are on sale, sometimes you just can't stop yourself from wanting to have them
