Sephora VIB Haul :: Picture Heavy :)

Since I totally missed out on the Sephora Friends & Family sale, I was so ecstatic to find out that Sephora was having an event for VIB (very important beauty-insiders).. and they were given 20% off from November 10th - November 14th (in store and online). Also there was an instore event at our local participating Sephora store on November 10th..


At this VIB event, you could learn new tips & tricks from their makeup studio, see the latest beauty picks and newest items.. and of course get a free bag (i didn't since i came to the event later - but got chocolate instead lol)..


but nonetheless, I was so glad My mom came with me, she took me shopping lol! :D so i got tons of goodies! :) mind you, it's not very often I go shopping with my mom - cause we're both so busy with work (and school for me).. and since i'm not working at the moment, she decided to spoil me! <3 I Love my Mommy! <3


Oh and no she didn't purchase ALL of these for me.. (just the danmari palette & the amazing grace perfume because I also had a gift certificate to Sephora which covered the rest :D)  

Here is what I Hauled! I'm so excited to use these ALL! lol

Here is everything together

Got 3 samples:

Hourglass face primer, Marc Jacobs "Oh, Lola" perfume & Issac Miyake "Floral" perfume

I went ahead and redeemed my beauty insider gift :D

Review :: Stilazzi & Frends Beauty Supply

A while back on twitter, Stilazzi &Frends beauty supply had asked if some bloggers wanted to sign up to get sent products to review. I of course jumped on the opportunity (who wouldn't want to test out makeup and other products for free?) and luckily I was picked to be one  of the few bloggers to test out some products. 


If you don't know who Stilazzi is, feel free to check out their awesome website!
http://www.stilazzi.com


They are basically a beauty distributor that sells mass amounts of makeup and beauty items at super affordable prices & catered to the Hollywood Stars :) but no! you don't have to be a professional makeup artist to purchase from them! 


I believe this is going to be every month, for 10 months - shorter or longer depending on Stilazzi. 


For this month, this is what I was sent:

Okay, so yes it's not makeup, but honestly - it's free and if your like me, and plan to do makeup artistry on the side (for me in the future) this is great to start your kit! All the basic items that are a must!




So I was sent different sized Facial Powder Puffs, I like to call them. I have used these for myself and they are so soft and get the job done. Great for setting your makeup and also great for touch ups :) I love how there are different sizes! 

I was also sent these triangular sponges, great for applying liquid foundation and blending it in. I have always been a fan of these, so I'm glad I was sent a ton! always comes in handy, whether your a makeup artist or not.

I also received disposable mascara wands and disposable lip brushes - definitely get the job done with no fuss :)  

this pic is just without the plastic.. ;D

And lastly, I was sent these wax papers, these are great if you do not have a mixing palette. I wish I would have had this when I was doing a bridesmaids makeup awhile back - I ended up having to use a paper plate i had cut out lol, but this would have been perfect!  great thing about these, when your doing a gig - is you don't have to rewash it (if it's a metal mixing palette you may have) - you can just easily dispose of these afterwards. They come in a variety of sizes and it's perfect! 

I overall enjoyed the products I was sent this month, and definitely see myself purchasing these later on down the road. So if your looking for supplies for your makeup kit & are starting out, definitely give this brand and this company a chance! :) Great prices for such great quality items! I cannot wait to see what I get next month!




FTC: I was sent these products by a PR for Stilazzi for review purposes only. I was not paid to post my opinion. As always, My opinions are honest and just that - MY honest opinion. :)
