It’s that time of the year that I can never resist - the Sephora VIB Beauty Sale. Which just happens to always fall around my birthday, making it the perfect time for a little beauty haul/makeup splurge!

Because I’m not a VIB Rouge anymore I had to wait until today to make my purchases. Rouge members shopped a few days early and at 20% off but I found that I didn’t have any problems getting what I wanted as a regular old VIB member with my 15% off. Beauty Insiders get 10% off and can start shopping on November 5. This sale ends for us all on November 9.

What to buy at Sephora! My latest luxury beauty shopping haul!

Since I had a little extra time to plan my shopping spree I was really able to curate my cart and get the items I’ve been interested in for awhile or that I absolutely needed to replenish. I was also able to take my time looking up swatches, reviews, makeup looks, etc to try and make a decision about what I wanted the most. This cart was over $600 when I started, which is not in my best interest lol.

Sephora VIB Sale! Luxury Makeup Discounts, Info & Coupon Code

Amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo ($25.00). This has been my favorite dry shampoo for years. It’s pricey, so I tried my best to fall in love with a drugstore brand just as much. Some are good and I could definitely recommend them to you. But truly, they don’t hold a candle to Amika.

Charlotte Tilbury Super Nudes Easy Eyeshadow Palette ($57.00). Yup… didn’t need this at all. I’m seeing this as a grab-and-go situation. An upgrade a past fave Urban Decay Naked Basics, if you will. I said what I said.

Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer ($36.00). This one has been in my head for awhile. I used to love everything Dior, which can get anyone into some trouble. I finally bit the bullet and bought it in the shade 2N. I’m really hoping I find a new love in a concealer but still plan on continuing my search for a drugstore HG too.

Fenty Beauty Light Brown Brow MVP Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler ($20.00). I know, I know… I always end up going back to Benefit Precisely, My Brow… but there is just something about this one from Fenty that I’m LOVING.

I got the shade Medium Brown in my Boxycharm last month and it ended up being too dark. BUT, I loved the formula and, surprisingly, I also loved the little brush at the other end. I wouldn’t have even bothered trying this because of that brush so I’m really happy to have received it in my Boxycharm.

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation ($49.00). I can hear what you’re saying. But, YES, I really am almost out of foundation! I’ve been extremely selective lately (thanks, face masks) and since Physician’s Formula got rid of The Healthy Foundation I can’t find one at the drugstore that suits my current needs that won’t make me break out.

My ride-or-die foundation for awhile now has been the Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Foundation ($39.00) and while I do still love it I’m looking to see if an old favorite might give just a little more oomph. I used to love the NARS for a natural but decent coverage and since the shade I had here was a little too dark I decided to pick up Deauville (Light 4). If it’s not a fit I can always grab the UD (which I’d still recommend a million times over - see this review).

Pat McGrath Nude Venus Lip Fetish Divinyl Lip Shine ($36.00). In all seriousness I needed a new lip balm like a hole in the head. However, in my defense, I’ve been looking at this one for a long time (in makeup years). Since it launched it’s been in and out of my Sephora cart. Right at zero hour I watched this YouTube video from Michelle Wang and it finalized the purchase for me.

Too Faced Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder ($34.00). You guys, I’ve been trying to find a dupe for this forever. Mostly because $$$. I use very litte to set underneath my eyes, but it’s a game changer. Nothing out there carries that same peach-tinted tone with the same type of formula (or better). It’s insane to me, but, here we are… bought another.
