Recent Beauty Hauls

Happy December everyone! I've been MIA for awhile but I'm back today to write about a few beauty items I've picked up recently.

misstking and I attended Sephora's VIB Holiday Shopping Event on November 10th. The event included a live dj, an array of chocolates, beauty samples galore, and most importantly... 20% off our entire purchase!

Here, I picked up the must-have perfume by Chloe, MUFE's Mat Velvet Foundation, and a new sharpener (below).

I've been waiting to rave about my Chloe perfume. I haven't found a perfume to die for in years. As juvenile as it may be, the only fragrance I've ever really "loved" was "Ralph" by Ralph Lauren; which I am reluctant to admit that I've been using since...oh, maybe high school. So, it was definitely time to invest in a "big girl" perfume. In my best explanation, this Chloe perfume is a delicate medley of musk and floral. 

Borghese Mud Mask and Zoya Mini Polish was acquired via BirchBox!

Neither ingredient overpowers the other. If you are someone who enjoys a fruitier scent, this may not be for you.

The next item I'm loving is MUFE's Mat Velvet Foundation. An associate at Sephora was nice enough to color match me and we landed on #45 which seems too dark for me in the bottle but upon application, matched perfectly! I've never been more happy with a foundation than this. This foundation provides medium coverage, and is easy to blend. It's mattifying properties are prevelant without muting the face. If you're someone with combination to oily skin who powders their face every so few hours, I'd definitely give this a try. Don't let the compact packaging fool you though; It holds just as much product as MAC foundations. Definitely worth every penny.

--Skipping my thoughts on the sharpener since I think you can find a good one just about anywhere. I just happened to pick one up from Sephora due to convenience.--

Upon my purchases, I also picked up Sephora's 500 Point Gift which included a Dior Charm Bracelet (below) and a Sephora Exclusive mini bottle of Dior's "Addict to Life" fragrance. This gift actually came at the most opportune time since I was actually contemplating picking up the "Addict to Life" fragrance prior to this.

Again, my best attempt to describe this fragrance is that it's a subtle, soft, alluring floral, making for a clean scent. A little also goes a long way with this. I've used it almost every other day and the bottle still looks full. Another definite repurchase once I'm done with this sample. Zero complaints about this gift with purchase!
