SEPHORA F&F 2010 HAUL

another delayed post ladies & gentlemen...

presenting.... my Sephora Friends & Family Sale 2010 haul

WARNING: PIC HEAVY!



Benefit Benetint 
my aunt from the Philippines had asked me to buy these for her... I guess this is her HG cheek stain.... since they don't have a Sephora there, she has to ask someone from here to get these for her...

I got a little curious... just had to open one to see how it looks like

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner

Peter Thomas Roth Uber-Dry Sunscreen

St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

Bobbi Brown Corrector in Light Bisque

this thing is hella tiny... I'm not so sure if this is worth the price yet... I guess there's only way to find out.... a review will follow as soon as I get the chance....

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush in #14 Star Struck 
I was looking for a blush that is on the orangey side...

this thing is hella tiny as well... but from what I heard from reviews, this stuff would last you a long time coz a little goes a long way...

here are the swatches

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol.III

the detail of the packaging when you open the front flap...
it's nice but what's the use again???

it includes 16 vibrant colors
(click image to enlarge & to see the name of the different shades)

it also includes 2 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Random (bright purple) and Zero (black)

& a mini Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original

Stila Kajal Eye Liner in Topaz (apricot nude)
I got this coz I've been looking for a good nude eyeliner for the bottom waterline... remember the Chromagraphic pencils from the MAC Pret-a-Papier collection?? I wanted to get that but it was sold out at my MAC counter... so I guess this is the closest I can get to that...

swatches & some close-up images...

I got this Sephora Colorful eye shadow samples as one of the samples...
I like how vibrant the colors are.... perfect holiday shimmery colors

I hope everyone's havin fun goin in the lines for the Black Friday sales while I'm warm & cozy in my bed.... =) goodnight y'all!!
