Hi! I’m Mary, and I’m a beauty junkie! Here’s my Sephora VIB Sale Haul! 😉
It’s both exciting and embarrassing to admit that I re-qualified for my second consecutive year of being a VIB Rouge member. (Maybe I need to join Sephora Junkies Anonymous. However, if there is such a group out there, I think we would just wind up talking about our favourite makeup items and then enable each other to buy more. Dangerous! We’re talkin’ Code Red or…Code ROUGE! Hehe, I can’t resist cheesy puns.)
Recently, Sephora had their much-anticipated VIB Sale, which only happens a couple of times each year, and it’s available to those who reach VIB and VIB Rouge membership. This time, the Sephora VIB Sale was for 20% off everything in-store and online.
Since I have a lot of favourites, I try to hold out until these sales, so I can stock up. But, of course there are always makeup products that wind up in my cart. (Don’t know how they sneak in there. Life’s greatest mystery. Or not.) *Shrugs shoulders and gives a sheepish grin*
While I don’t often post hauls, I thought I would do one this time because I really enjoy seeing other people’s Sephora VIB hauls. It’s a grown-up version of Show And Tell.
When I was in kindergarten, for Show And Tell, I would often just grab something random to bring to tell my classmates about.
Once, it was a piece of lint that I told the class was part of a cloud from Heaven. (After Show And Tell was over, I didn’t keep the story going. It was just a piece of lint again.)
Sometimes I would bring meaningful things to talk about, but I enjoyed making interesting stories about ‘boring’ objects or even just things that could be considered garbage. (Haha, one time, I brought in trash and explained how it was really a piece of history! Like nearly every kid, I was obsessed with time capsules.)
Well, I don’t have any lint or garbage to show you. Bummer, right?
Instead, I have my Sephora goodies that came in the mail yesterday! 🙂
When I returned home after having a lovely dinner out with a friend, I immediately picked up my camera and became a paparazzi.
This post just contains quick photos of what I got. If you’re interested in seeing a detailed review and additional photos of any of the items, let me know. (Not all the stuff is for me. I got some for my mom, so I’ll only be able to do reviews on the things I keep. I’ll indicate which ones I got for her.)
P.S. Ever since Wiz Khalifa’s album, Blacc Hollywood dropped, I’ve been listening to it almost on a daily basis. I think this is why whenever I read or write the word “haul”, his song “We Dem Boyz” plays in my head. Instead of “Hol’ up”, I think of it as “Haul-up”. Yeah, I know. Something just ain’t right with my mushball upstairs.
Recently, MAC Cosmetics had an online-exclusive launch of 3 lipsticks as part of a collaboration with singer, Rihanna.
I’m super excited to share this MAC Fashion Sets Collection Haul because I’m on such a bright-lipstick kick lately.

When I caught wind months ago about a collaboration between MAC Cosmetics and Archie, I knew that my wallet would be wailing.
Yesterday, I took my membership card and hit up Sally Beauty Supply because I was running low on my favourite nail-polish remover.
Yesterday, I went to IMATS Toronto 2012 (the Internation Makeup Artist Trade Show).
