Holiday Beauty Haul
Well, beauty fans, the latest Sephora Bonus Event has come and gone. My holiday haul is comprised of four separate purchases: two in-store and two online. And in the process, I leveled up to Rouge status—my second time ever hitting Rouge. Yay!/Yikes?
There’s one thing I bought that I’m not sharing here because I might use it to do a giveaway on my Instagram account. I haven’t decided whether I’ll do the giveaway yet…I’ve never done one before and I hear they can bring out the crazies. 😛

Why These Products
I only bought one item (sort of) that I had included on my wishlist: the Hourglass palette. The one I listed in that post was the original Ghost palette that Hourglass released, but the brand also released an “Unlocked” version that I believe was online only. The Unlocked palette has paler shades and looked more fit for my skin tone, so that’s what I ended up getting. And I’m very glad that I did, now that it seems to be sold out! LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUSNESS:
The bareMinerals tinted moisturizer, Ceramidin Cream, and eye stick are all repurchases. I’m running a bit low on my tinted moisturizer so I figured I’d re-up; I get compliments on my skin when I use it! The Ceramidin was great for me last winter so I wanted to have it on hand again this year. And when I spotted the GlamGlow eye masks online I had to get them…they look like they’ll be super fun!
I initially bought the lip set thinking I’d include it in an Instagram giveaway…but I decided to keep it for myself, hehe. That full sized Tilbury lipstick (shade: Very Victoria) got me! How fun is this set?!
I’m so excited to start using my new goodies…especially the Hourglass palette. It’s so luxe and I’ve never owned a face palette like this before!
Did you take advantage of the discount during this year’s holiday bonus event?
