Yes, you have read the blog title right. I have placed a $1.00 online order with Sephora. Main reason for my order is to get my free birthday gift. My birthday was last month and Sephora came out with this Nars birthday gift in 2015 which I am dying to get.
Let's talk about the most exciting item: Nars birthday gift for VIB Rouge. It contains 2 lip pencils and a lip liner.
For regular VIB, you would get the two lip pencils.
The two lip shades are totally my shades and so pretty. I have never tried their eye liner and I am incredibly impressed by how smooth and pigmented it is. Also seems to last long as I used my eye makeup remover to remove the swatches afterwards and I had to scrub the eyeliner trace hard to remove it completely.
Tarte Lipsurgence Skintuitive lip gloss in energy
I redeemed 100 perks for this lip gloss. I saw this in a duo set and almost bought it as it is only $14 which includes this along with a lip tint. But decided to try this out first to see if I like it before getting it.
This is quite sticky and very pale in shade. The concept is to apply this on your lips and it would self-adjust to your own lip color for enhancement. Guess similar to Dior dior addict glow.
Got 2 samples: Tarte blush and MUFE high definition blush.
You are probably wondering what I actually ORDERED, drum roll please:
It is this MUFE artist palette duo case. I really don't need anything but in order to claim my birthday gift, I need to put something in my cart and came across this $1.00 case. Not that I own any MUFE eyeshadows but I thought this is a very nice heavy duty duo case. Who knows, I may start getting their shadows as I have heard them raved about.
their shadows are amazing! that's a lot of stuff for one dollar ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried their shadows but now I have a duo case, I may have to fill them up :)
DeleteThe NARS lip pencils are gorgeous. I love how pigmented they are.

I just recently bought Nars audacious lipstick and become Abigail fan of their lip products. So excited to try out these pencils.
DeleteJust tried tried the waterproof eyeliner from Mufe and love it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried too many products from MUFE a. Will put the eyeliner on my wish list :)
DeleteThat's quite the haul for one dollar! I bought Tarte's Natural Beauty blush to get the Tarte samples. That Nars birthday set looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBest $1.00 I have ever spent :) I am loving the Nars lip pencils. So creamy. Can't wait to play with my other samples.
DeleteHaha so clever to get all the things you needed! I'm so excited about the birthday gift, that looks fab!
ReplyDeleteMy new year resolution is to limit the number of makeup I purchase. But I really want the birthday gift so I dug deep to look for a good deal :) The Nars lip pencils are soooooooo creamy, totally in love.
DeleteHappy belated birthday! I'm looking forward to that Nars set now. Haha and good job on the $1 purchase, way to keep your new year resolution going!
ReplyDeletethank you :) I am always bummed out when Sephora releases their birthday gifts in Jan and my birthday is in December. I have to wait A FULL YEAR. So now I will wait till Jan to get the new one since Sephora gives you a couple of weeks after your birthday to claim it. Yes, I'm still sticking to my new year resolution(well, plus a few other essentials that I NEED and can't wait haha)
Deletegreat gift! the lipcolor looks amazing :)
