Sephora Friends & Family Sale. I’ve never been so enthralled! I was really excited because Grace reminded me about a month ago and providing me with the discount code. I spent hours browsing on what I want. I have extra money to play with, so why not with makeup?!

- Urban Decay’s Book of Shadows Volume II – this is an excellent palette. The colors are very pigmented and vivacious! It comes with 16 eyeshadows and a primer. It comes with a booklet but it really doesn’t serve a purpose so I feel like I paid more than what I should have paid. But!! I’m not going to bash on it because that’s 16 eyeshadows! An individual eyeshadow is $16… I got a pretty good deal.

- Sephora Brand Anti-Bacterial Brushes – I’ve been eyeballing these for the longest time. Just read the name of it. Self explanatory.

- Make Up For Ever 10 eyeshadow palette – It’s heavy duty! And I can select which shades I want. I can’t wait to get more to fill it in. One of the eyeshadows is by the “Go Brow”.

- Benefit “Hello Flawless” – This was an impulsive buy, but it was worth it. I needed a lightweight concealer… and I’m absolutely falling in love with Benefit.

- Benefit Celebutante – This kit is good for a nighttime dramatic deep set look and a daytime, natural look. It comes with Benetint, High Beam, two lipsticks, one lipgloss, double ended brush, two eyeshadows and a blush. It even includes a lesson pamphlet!! I think it’s totally worth it.

- Duwop Private Red Lipstick – This is supposed to adjust to an individual’s complexion. And I must say… it does! I tried it on Dan’s arm, and it looked really good with his reddish/brown complexion. I tried it on my yellow tinted/brown skin, and it’s absolutely gorgeous!

- Duwop Prime Venom – This is the second time I’ve purchased it. It plumps, fills, and makes your lips oh, so sultry.

- Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow – I got in a “deep plum” shade. This shade looks good both day and night. Very pigmented. I dabbed my brush on it twice (lightly, mind you) and it’s a lot of color for that size palette. The tin comes out easily so it can be put in the MUFE palette. I wish I got into MUFE sooner!

- Anastasia Go Brow – I have been running out of my Smashbox highlighter, so I tried this brand out of impulse. It fills in the gaps & defines my brows.

- Stila Lipstick – It says it’s long lasting long wearing lipstick. Agreed. It moisturizes too!

Overall, yes, I did a lot of damage. But like I said, I have extra cash especially since I had left over money from Vegas this past weekend! I also have to post a few pics on here.

There was a girl who complained about girls who looked “caked up” or just straight up bash on girls who are obsessed with makeup. My momma always told me that if people talk down about it, it’s because they’re jealous that they don’t have anyone to help them or teach them. That’s very true! A little bit of makeup goes a long way!  So does  A LOT of makeup! It’s just a matter of how you use it ;]

So, the Sephora Friends & Family Sale is going on! I called the one in Manhattan Village and they told me that the sale IS in-store, but when I went to Arcadia today, it isn’t until a later date! :[ I was uber sad, so I ended up buying these two minus the 20% discount! When I receive my shipment, I’ll show you what I got from the Friends and Family Sale!

This is Urban Decay’s Book of Shadows Volume II. The colors are extreme and wonderful! They’re smooth. I’ve always been a big fan of UD’s eyeshadows.

This is Sephora Brand Blockbuster Palette To Go in Cool Tones. This was an impulsive buy so I didn’t realize the blush and lip colors that come with it! A very pleasant surprise!

I ended up returning a blouse because I just got over it. I exchanged it for this lovely seductive floral piece!
