Health & Beauty » The Addiction of Nars, Smashbox & Sephora!

Pin It

My addiction of Sephora continues....like I always say its like a drug....I swear that place puts something in your makeup to make you come back, has a rope tied around you so they can always just pull you back in, and has the best promotions to make you want more......All of the above...

About a month ago Sephora sent me an e mail about 2 Nars eyeshadows going on sale from $23 to $8.....$8! Hello that is cheaper than Mac, and the same price as some drug store shadow, and I could not pass up this deal! Hello I love Nars, and anything that screams BUY ME! (thats all of Sephora!)...Hence the drug they put in their goodies!

So amognst the to die for promotion, literally, I had to get the Nars goodie, and then some....As if this was a once in a lifetime, never happen again promotion! Oh it was, in my head thats what I told myself...So there I was shopping at Sephora's online site, adding and mixing things into my shopping cart like they were little potions....I of course could not just spend $20, I had to spend $50, to get the free shipping, because that makes total sense....The head of a shop a holic, can never make sense!

Here is what I picked up:

NARS Single Eyeshadow ($23 Value) - California

California, is the perfect name for this shadow, because it screams, beach, tan, and California girl.... A beautiful rich cooper color, you'll all love! Perfect for olive, neutrals, browns, golds, it will really give you that natural look!

NARS Single Eyeshadow ($23 Value) - Night Sun

A pretty gold yellow shadow, with a ton of sparkle! Reminds me of, surprisingly the SUN! Perfect for on your lid and accentuating and making your eyes pop! Will look perfect with bronzes, greens, nuetrals...LOVE!

Originally $23, I purchased for $8:

NARS Duo Eyeshadow - Brumes

Lately I have been ALL about Nars eyeshadow duos...Yes they are super expensive, but that cute littel black box with the word NARS on it, just does something for me...The funky colors that go together are fabulous! THis duo has beautiful colors, which are perfect together! The matte charcoal grey is a great lid color, and the other color is a blue slate sheen....

SEPHORA COLLECTION Brush Roll Set ($225 Value) - Brush Roll Set

Since I have been needing new brushes I felt that getting this for only $39, was a steal..It has a beautiful brush roll to keep my brushes safe, and its PINK! IT comes with 8 high quality brushes, with soft bristles and a great value..Not to mention Sephora brushes really are of pretty good quality! The price you pay and what you get (8 brushes + cute brush roll)= totally worth it!

(I will do a full review on them eventually)

Brushes the set comes with:

Powder
Cheek contour
Foundation
Concealer
Crease
Shadow
Lip
Brow Comb Brush
Sorry chicks this brush set is no longer available! But sephora sells them online check them out!

Free Bee for Sephora VIB
Smashbox Studio Must Have Set:

Before I check out I always make sure that there is coupons...Honestly it does not hurt and even if I have it already, who cares its free!The perks of being a Sephora VIB, is that I can get cute free bees like this set!

Smashbox makes AMAZING products, so I never can say no to them!

This Smashbox Studio Must-Haves Set features deluxe samples of:

Fusion Soft Lights in Baked Starburst (0.123 oz)

With 5 different shades and combinations, this little wheel of color is genius...(especially perfect for traveling)...It has five gorgeous shades designed to be buffed over your lids and cheeks. Each lush shade can be worn alone or layered together
(black case - bronze/golden tan/soft pink/soft white shimmer)

$30
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P136014&categoryId=B70
O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color (0.25 oz): You can check my swatch! Its a pretty check cream that goes on clear, and then after a few seconds it comes a pinky rose color.... I have always wanted to get it, but did not want to spend $26 on it, so now I can see if I really like it!

$26

Bionic Mascara (0.17 oz)

This mascara is great, the shape of the wand is awesome and it works fabulous!Smashbox Bionic is the first ionic mascara...It is a water-resistant formula (thank god!)....It leaves you with longer, stronger, and more voluminous lashes! The specially-engineered brush coats lashes with our revolutionary long-wearing, for a dramatic full lash. We all love them lashes!

$19

Oh my that's a lot of great items. I have never tried nars before. I want to. Every time something goes on sale I want to buy it but they are always out of stock by the time I get to it. I do the same thing. I have to spend up to $50 just for the free shipping but initially I am buying for just one item.

I saw that the some of the NARS eyeshadows were on sale again but i decided to skip on em this time because i ordered one last year which was a promo for 8 bucks as well and meh the color didnt work for me. Ive only used it a handful of times. Night Sun is super pretty though! Great haul.
