Sephora VIB Sale Haul 2013

So, I picked up a few things from the Sephora VIB sale that ran in the beginning of the month. Now, I am banned from Sephora until next year! Haha, let's see how long that will last :P Anyway, I picked up a few palettes and a few holiday sets. I don't think I went tooo crazy this year... Now on to what I purchased:

• Soft Lights Powder in Shimmer - This is all Jacilyn Hill from YouTube's fault!
• Naked Skin Foundation - I have been wanting to try this foundation out since it first came out
• NARS Guy Bourdin One Night Stand Blush Palette (even though I already have a blush or two)
• Kat Von D Spellbinding Palette - I was mesmerized by the colors!
• Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things Palette - I love Too Faced, so of course I had to get this!
• Buxom Dolly's Opening Act Lip Gloss Set - SO PRETTY! And great price point in my opinion.
• Sephora #56 Pro Face Brush - Loving this for foundation.

And that is all I got from the sale. Trust me I wanted more, but I held off. If you would like a review on any of these products please let me know :) Also, I would love to know what you got from the sale so leave them in the comments! Until next time!

XOXO

Review: Physicians Formula Nude Shimmer Pallete

First off please excuse my dry skin :( winter always does this to my skin... I hate the cold! lol... Ok on to the review. I purchased this palette from the drugstore a couple of weeks ago and it is the Physicians Formula Nude Shimmer Palette. My initial thoughts were that the packaging was really cute (I'm a sucker for cute packaging) and that the colours reminded me of Urban Decay's Naked Palette but more shimmery haha. Here is what I liked and disliked about the palette:

Liked:

• Cute packaging
• Eyeshadows came in trios for a neutral look, daytime look and a more dramatic look
• The amount of shimmer in the eyeshadows was alright
• They could be used dry or wet
• Paraben free!

Dis-liked:

• The pigmentation of the lighter colours weren't that great (dry) at least on my skintone (NC35 in MAC)
• The applicator that came with it (I usually don't like the applicators that come with palettes anyways... except the Naked 2 one)
• Some of the shades were hard to get into with a brush without touching the other shades because they were quite thin

So, overall that is what I felt about the palette. I think its a good drugstore purchase if you are looking for a neutral palette that is at a relatively good price. I got mine on sale for about $9. I overall like Physicians Formula as a drugstore brand but they can be at the higher end of the spectrum as drugstore products go. Look out for sales on them though because they have some really great products :) 

Thanks for reading! Let me know your thoughts on this product and if you have any other products you would like me to check out :)
