Breeze T.
I just got my Sephora package (Nars palette and MUFE deluxe samples) and since I've been only making little purchases here and there, I thought I'd share it all in one gulp now that I received my latest order!
I can provide swatches for anything and reviews/first impressions for what I've tried :) I'm home all day long today so I'm here for you!
So... here goes nothing!!
From KIKO:
I got three eyeshadows at Kiko, there was a super awesome sale going on, each shadow was about 2 euros and they would give you a free empty palette to put them in: 9-pan if you got 3 eyeshadows... So I got to the cash register and they were out of 9-pan palettes...so they gave me a 24-pan one! I'm so happy!! :)
The shades I got were the gold (256- third shade down in the first column), the peach shimmer shade (209- third from left on top row) and the bright orange by the 209 (207)
From Beautylish - Hooray for international shipping! - and France:
Bioderma. 'Nuff said.
Other stuff I picked up in France are:
liquid Aleppo face soap - I like this for when my skin is misbehaving a little bit. It does leave my face squeaky clean which I don't particularly like so I follow with a good amount of Jojoba oil.
Cetaphil face wash (solid and in the pump bottle)- For some reason I cannot find Cetaphil in my surroundings. I think it's not that hard to find in Italy (am I wrong?) but I just bought it in France since I was there.
Effaclar A.I spot treatment by La Roche- Posay
Different kinds of Marseille soap, because I was in Marseille so how can you pass it up? :)
From Sephora:
Make Up For ever empty palette (magnetic) - I already depotted a few eyeshadows and put them in there! (this is an update, I only recently filled it but I bought it quite a while ago)
Nars And God Created The Woman palette kit (includes a "contour" brush and eyelid Pro Prime primer) I'll add pictures!
Deluxe samples from Make Up For Ever - the main reason why I ordered the palette:
Aqua Eyes in black (0.5 g) - still to this day my favorite liner for my waterline (it's up there with UD 24/7 in Perversion). It's nice to have a backup!
Lip Line perfector (0.5 g) - A clear lipliner, it works!
Rouge Artist Intense in 43 Moulin Rouge - this is the perfect red lipstick for me! I absolutely adore it!
Aqua Smoky Lash- Haven't tried this yet, I have a few mascaras to go through first!
Other things I got, previous Sephora trip:
Make Up For Ever Step 1 yellow primer: I like this for the red areas on my face, it helps if you let it sit a while.
And lastly, from a local drugstore: a run-of-the-mill synthetic foundation brush I picked up just to try (It's a no-name product, sorry!), a sulfur face wash bar and L'Oreal EverColor shampoo!
And that's about it, I think! :)
p.s in this picture there are the MUFE palette, primer and deluxe samples, Bioderma, 24-pan palette and shadows by KIKO, Nars palette,Sephora instant moisturizer sample and foundation brush.
Have a wonderful day!

First row, from left to right: Bellissima II, Kalahari, Night Clubbing
Second row: Alhambra, Galapagos, Coconut Grove
The palette is small, but I already knew that! In fact, I love that it can fit in a travel makeup bag for my purse!
The shadows have as much product as the small shadows in most Too Faced palettes. The mirror is nice and big, all in all I like this palette a lot and the colors are very versatile!

So tell me, have any of you tried any of these products?

I liked this post! very well organized! I adore the palette in the second picture! I would like to see a swatch of that. It's pretty but very shimmery. I also love the lip color. It looks very vibrant, healthy, and hydrating. Overall, awesome haul! Thank you for sharing!
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
Thank you Brianna and Taylor!
Meagan, thank you! :)
Swatch coming up. Two of the shades - Bellissima and Coconut Grove - are matte, while the others are shimmery but in different ways. It's probably easier to show you! I'm normally not huge on shimmers but this palette was just calling my name and the fact that they include primer and brush is a huge plus!

From the top (where my watch is):
Bellissima: this is a blendable taupe with the most subtle sheen that is only visible in the pan, but not on the skin.
Kalahari: this is my favorite of the lot, it's a warm light bronzey shade.
Night Clubbing: black with gold tiny sparkles, again not that flashy.
Alhambra: this is a nice highlight color, shimmery champagne shade.
Galapagos: this shade is a very warm rich chocolate brown with gold flecks.
Coconut grove: the most pigmented of all, it's a cool true matte dark brown that I will use SO much.

Emily it's the palette by Nars called And God Created the Woman!
Thank you, Rozberry! It's just a perfect red for me I think. Cool and bright :)

Love that lipstick, that's my kind of red :)very pretty on you! Looks like I need the nars palette, is it limited edition or permanent? Have you tried bioderma before? I'm curious to know if there is a difference between it and the garnier, loreal and nivea one as they all feel and act the same.
Apr 9, 2015
Rebecca J.
As I've never tried bioderma only the "dupes" of it.
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
Rebecca, thank you!
It is limited edition, but it's been around the Sephora website for a long time here. It is quite expensive in the US, so maybe wait for a big discount or awesome samples like I did! Its value is actually pretty good since they give you the brush and the primer!
As for micellar waters, I've tried the Garnier one, and honestly they are pretty similar, only difference is that Bioderma is fragrance-free and seems to work a bit faster than Garnier, which is my favorite among drugstore micellar waters. Actually, now that I've tried Bioderma, I'm not going back to the other versions :D

Rebecca J.
Thanks Breeze! my nearest nars counter is about 45 minutes away so I might see if I can order online and see if I can get it! I'm not from the US btw I'm from Ireland :D I might need to check out bioderma at some stage too I could be missing out ha! how much is it in euro?
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
I paid 45 euro for it, but I saw that in the US it's 59 $, that is A LOT.

Adahli M.
Awesome haul! I've been wanting to try buy that nars palette but any colors I ever use on my eyeshadow are basically neutrals so adding more browns to my collection would be ridiculous lol. Anyway, I have a question! what does the clear lipliner work for? I always see colored liners that will help shape your lips or what not but a clear:0 thanks!(:
Apr 9, 2015
Rebecca J.
Wow!! that's expensive in the US and EU.
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
Adahli, that is completely understandable! I actually don't own any "good" neutral palettes so I thought this would be perfect for traveling!
As for the lipliner, it prevents feathering and is like a primer for you lips so it will smooth out the base and make your lipstick last longer.
It's great if you can't find the right shade of lipliner but still want your lipstick to not wander around your face. :D
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
I know Rebecca! That's why you should wait for a discount :) I honestly don't spend that much usually but I had some money put away! :)
Apr 9, 2015
Adahli M.
Maybe in the future when I can invest on a high end palette^.^ & thanks for the explanation I really need to get one of those haha.
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
I also own a drugstore one and it works just as well! It's called Rimmel moisture renew.

Raylene I.
I've never tried any of those products, but I love LOVE the peachy pink, pink, and teal shades and that lippie is to die for on you!! And I'm a sucker for neutrals so that earthy shaded pallet is a NEED for me! Ugh I wish I had money!! Haha y'all make me soo envious! Lol.
Apr 9, 2015
Breeze T.
There is no pink in the Kiko palette, Raylene! It must be the lighting. Which shade are you talking about? KIKO eyeshadows are so inexpensive but are such high quality: pigmented, buttery, bright. They have so many shades too! Too bad they don't name their eyeshadow colors, only numbers!
