Sunday Social Vol. 2

This week's Sunday Social is all about beauty!

How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
Probably around 12 or 13? I only really wore black eyeliner (super smudged!) and lip color back then.


What are your top 3 favorite beauty products?
Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tars, TARTE Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blushes, and Urban Decay eyeshadows! (Products subject to vary.)


What is one makeup product you don’t leave home without?
Lip balm! Does that count?


What is your daily beauty routine?
I don't always wear makeup, so I would say that my daily routine is washing and moisturizing my face and wearing lip balm. Super exciting, I know.


What is your favorite hair/makeup product you’ve discovered in the last year?
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder! Sooooo goooood.


Feel free to leave your answers (or link to your Sunday Social post) in a comment!

Sephora VIB Sale

The highly anticipated VIB sale from Sephora is finally here! I don't know about you, but I saved up a bunch of money so I'd be able to grab several splurge-worthy sets and products. VIBs can use the code VIBTOPIA for 20% from 07NOV13-11NOV13, so it's not on for a very long time. My plan for this sale was to mostly buy things that were Sephora exclusives, so if a specific brand has a Black Friday/holiday sale on their personal website that's 20% off or better than 20% off, I can get things from that brand then. I like to think that I'm a savvy shopper! Haha.

These are my recommendations (in no particular order):



NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Marie-Galante | Urban Decay Naked Palette | Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup | Too Faced Pretty Rebel Palette | Lorac PRO Palette | Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in Opera Rose | Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette | Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pro's Pick Lip Tar Set 1.0 | Urban Decay Ocho Loco 2

---

All of these products are on my wishlist, but I couldn't afford to get them on top of what I had already planned to buy. Damn having a finite amount of money to spend! Boooo!


Laura Mercier Artist's Palette for Eyes | Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No. 7 in The Tease | Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things | Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in Poetica | Smashbox The Master Class Palette II | Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip | Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light | Formula X for Sephora The Twenty-Two | Tarte The Tarte of Giving Collector's Set & Travel Bag

---

Now, don't quote me, but I think I heard something about Sephora planning an event for people who haven't reached VIB level, so have no fear if you're not a VIB! I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear anything solid.

Are you buying anything during this VIB sale? What's on your wishlist?
