Mini Sephora Birthday Haul w/ pictures

Hey guys. I wanted to hurry up and get this blog up. I got my Sephora package in the mail today, this was a birthday present from my future mother-in-law and I am seriously in love with the things I got. I was the one who chose the things I ordered and I used this opportunity to get a couple things I've been lusting over. I picked up the Kat Von D. Ladybird palette, the OCC Lip Tars in Stalker and Black Dahlia, the Fresh Sugar Kisses mini lip duo birthday gift, and the Stila waterproof liquid liner as my 100 point perk. I also was finally upgrade to VIB status for spending so much money lol.

I want to quickly apologize if some of the pictures are a bit hard to see. I didn't open this package until about 9:30 p.m. so it was a little dark in my house. However, I wanted to get this up right away because I am so excited to do a look tomorrow using the things I got. So stayed tuned...





^ Kat Von D. Ladybird palette. 

The site says, "An all-in-one palette with eight matte, rich pigment shadows and an Autograph Pencil liner. This stellar matte eye shadow palette is formulated with rich, long-wearing pigment that prevents creasing, smudging, and fading all day and night. Smooth velvety shades glide onto eyelids, while colors layer seamlessly to create an array of customized neutral looks. The long-wear, on-the-go pencil liner glides onto eyelids for a flawless finish and is perfect for creating everyday neutral looks or intense smoky eyes."

I have to say this is the main thing that I was super excited about getting. Ever since I saw this on YouTube a few weeks ago I have been seriously lusting over this palette. As soon as I pulled this out the package I immediately had to start swatching it and it seriously is amazing. The shadows were soft and highly pigmented. I am so excited to wake up and use this palette tomorrow, especially that orange-y color on the end. I've been obsessed with orange browns and just warm browns in general and this palette does not disappoint. Besides the brown shades, there's also a pretty plum, cream, taupe, and charcoal shade. Did I say I can't wait to use this palette?



^OCC Lip Tar in "Stalker"- true blue based red


^OCC Lip Tar in "Black Dahlia"- blackest, blackened red

The site says, "A high-opacity lipstick concentrate with unprecedented longevity. Flash a fabulous smile and a stunning splash of color with this lip formula that combines the longevity of a lipstick with the breezy application of a gloss. The rich pigment will drench your pout and the blend of essential oils, including hemp and peppermint, will soothe and soften the skin for a supremely comfortable finish. For easy travel and application, each Lip Tar comes with a vinyl carrying case and mini lip brush."

These are the first Lip Tars I have ever purchased, so I chose 2 shades that I knew I would wear a lot. Now most people wouldn't choose a dark berry, nor a bright red shade as there everyday lip colors, but that's what I love and these most certainly did not disappoint. I don't know what took me so long to jump on the Lip Tar bandwagon, but I am so happy to now have these in my life and I know for sure that I will be ordering a couple more of these in the very near future.


^Fresh Sugar Kisses mini lip duo.

This was one of the Sephora birthday kits they had to choose from. The other had a mini Benefit They're Real and Watts Up highlighter, but I felt like I would for sure use the lip balms more. I've never used any of the Fresh lip balms, but have heard so many great things about them. Right now I have the original balm on and I have to say it really feels nice on my lips. It's quite hydrating and smooth and I feel like it would make a great base to go under lipsticks.

^Sephora samples and my VIB welcome package.

I chose to get samples of the YSL Touche Eclat highlighter (which I think I'm going to buy the full size), Coach Love perfume, Dior Hydra Life BB Creme, and Hourglass Veil mineral primer (AMAZING). I also chose to use 100 points to get the Stila Stay All Day waterproof eyeliner, which I already know that I am for sure going to purchase the full size of. This eyeliner draws a gorgeous dark black line, has wonderful precision, and is fully waterproof. I absolutely just love it!


I hope you guys enjoyed my haul and check back tomorrow to see the look I put together using these products. I should have a couple more birthday hauls or reviews coming up because I am still waiting on some products I ordered from Sigma and some pigments from Makeup Geek, so hopefully those will be up soon.

Talk to you guys tomorrow. xx
