A Mixed Review

 Sorry for the absence from my blog for the past two weeks. I have been very busy with my personal life but I am back! So for a great post back I am posting a haul!
If you are living under a rock, and haven't heard it's the Sephora VIB Rouge then you need to stop reading right now and go to your closest Sephora store!
I am VIB Rouge, and was able to go on the vey first day for first access. I originally had an over $200 list of items I wanted but I decided to control myself and only buy things I genuinely wanted/needed. I am so happy with all my purchases!
I love perfumes, and have been obsessed with rose scent recently so I grabbed the Roses De Chloe rollerball. It is such a beautiful scent, and I am most definitely going to buy the full size when I run out of this rollerball!
As you saw in my last Ulta haul I picked up a Buxom full-on lip cream, and since I loved it so much (full review coming soon) I picked up another one. I grabbed the shade 'Hot Toddy', and it the perfect nude color for my lips. I had my eye on it when I bought Mai Tai, and now that I have it I am so excited. I want to pick up even more colors in the future!
For my birthday one gift I received was an empty z-palette which was too excited for because I have been wanting some of the Anastasia Beverly Hills single pans. I picked up two shades to go in my z-palette. I love the ABH shadows so much!! I plan on filling my whole z-palette with them. I got the shades 'Gleam' and 'Electro'. Oh em gee I am obsessed!! Electro looks bright purple in the pan but has a blue/pink iridescent shine. It is so beautiful. It might be my new favorite eyeshadow which is saying a lot because I usually only love neutrals!
And the last thing I bought is the Sephora Double-Ended Blemish Extractor. I bought it so I could start steaming my face and using it to clear out the blackheads on my nose. I used it once, and I didn't see much results, but maybe I didn't steam my face long enough. My cousin said that extractors really work, so I am excited to keep using it to see more results!

The last couple things I got were point perk items, and a free item for being VIB rouge status. From the point perks I grabbed the new GLAMGLOW peel off mask which I am beyond excited to try, and I got the new Estee Edit 2-in-1 makeup remover and cleanser. It has good reviews so I am eager to test it out. And the last little perk I got is a Sephora makeup tote. This is my first year being VIB Rouge so I was very happy to be able to get a tote from being at that status.

I am going back to Sephora with my cousin to shop, and will probably pick up a few more items so I will be posting a part 2 haul post!
If you shopped the sale, let me know what you got and what you recommend I try to pick up before the sale ends!

I love Estee Lauder brand of makeup so much. It's such a classy brand and they have so many amazing products. When I saw that they had their Estee Edit line that was featuring special guest editor Kendall Jenner I immediately knew I wanted something from the collection. Kendall Jenner is one of my favorite models, and I love her so much.
So from the collection I decided to pick two of the blushes. I didn't want the eyeshadow palette because I have boughten so many new palettes recently, I wanted to buy something different.
For starters, the price of the blush is $28. It is pretty pricy, but for the brand and the guest editor it is expected. I think you could probably find blushes in very similar shades, for a lot cheaper.
The packaging of the blushes is so cute though. It looks so modern in a silver compact with a spray paint spot on it. It closes with a click, but feels cheap. It is plastic, which from the pictures online I thought that it was metal. And in my coral blush the pan is loose and feels like it'll pop out at any minute. That is a big let down considering I paid $28 for it. The mirror inside the compact, is small and standard with most blushes, so not anything too special.
The two colors I got are 'Coy Coral' and 'Ember Glow'. I love the colors so much. The coral shade is so stunning. I love Coralista by Benefit so much, and this color reminds me of that one only a pinch darker. Ember Glow is so beautiful as well. It is a reddish, brown color, and to me reminds me of Dallas from Benefit. It's funny that both of these blushes remind of me Benefit blushes. They aren't exactly color dupes, but they are just similar and favor each other.
But here are my pro's and con's of these blushes!

PROS:

• Wearable shades for all skin tones
• Cute, small packaging
• Travel friendly
• Blendable 
• Very pigmented
