I think one of the best parts about the VIB Rouge Sale in the fall is that it is always right around my birthday. Between the desire to treat myself and a few generous gift cards (thank you to my family!), I usually end up with a pretty decent haul. The last of my packages arrived yesterday so I’m ready to share the damage with you!
Eye Shadow Palettes
Violet Voss | Ride or Die Eyeshadow Palette
I had only intended to get one palette during this sale, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eyeshadow Palette, however, another gift card rolled in around the same time I got the “back in stock” email so it seemed like fate. I’m so glad that Sephora is carrying Violet Voss now. I bought their collaboration palette with Laura Lee last year and really loved it. It was a bit pricy but the 20% off made it worthwhile and they really do make great eye shadows.
Anastasia Beverly Hills | Prism Eyeshadow Palette
I had the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eyeshadow Palette on my wish list and I knew I had to pick this up. I typically love their palettes and I was really drawn to the shade selection in this one. I can’t wait to slather Dimension all over my eyelid.
Lip Products
Too Faced | Melted Latex Liquified Lipstick in Unicorn Tears
This was a spontaneous purchase – it looks so beautiful I really couldn’t pass it up. This colour looks right up my alley! I can’t wait to put it on my lips!
Bite Beauty | Agave Lip Mask
Another spontaneous purchase! This was inspired by Pretty Ruff Life’s VIB Sale Recommendations. I am an avid wearer of lip moisturizers both at bed time and before I apply lipstick so I’ve been dying to try this one for awhile. Her post reminded me that I needed to get this!
Bite Beauty | Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Black Truffle
One of the few items from my original list that were actually purchased! I really do use my wish lists more as a jumping off point, but I often do stray and re-think what I actually want to purchase when the sale actually starts. Bite Beauty Black Truffle looks so pretty and I am all over darker shades right now.
Bite Beauty | Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick in Purée
When making my initial list I forgot that I’ve been wanting to try the Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipsticks. I chose the shade Purée as it looked like a beautiful burnt orange and I don’t really have a ton of those in my collection at the moment.
Miscellaneous
Too Faced | Too Faced Primed & Peachy Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer
On a whim I added this product to my cart as I have oily skin and it had pretty decent reviews. I’ll be sure to give my thoughts on it once I try it out a bit more! Just some initial impressions though – it smells amazing!
While I didn’t purchase many of the items on my initial list, I am definitely happy with what I did pick up. I spent hours on the Sephora website deliberating before placing my orders. I was disappointed that I didn’t actually make it INTO the store for the first VIB sale since we have had Sephora in Thunder Bay but I was so sick during the sale that I definitely could not have left the house. There’s always next time!
What did you pick up during the sale? Let me know in the comments down below! Feel free to link your hauls if you did a post or video!

I don’t get paid again til Friday, so I sadly was unable to take advantage of the sale.

Oh no! I usually don’t go this overboard but the sale always happens during my birthday weekend, so that helps!

Enjoy! I was thinking about a Violet Voss palette but I don’t think I’m going to do it. *Trying to control myself* The Prism palette looks really nice too.

Haha, self control is so hard during these sales! I almost didn’t order it but the gift card I got right before the sale ended was a sign.

Ouuhhh you got so many pretty things! Those eyeshadow palettes look stunning. Endless opportunities! I really didn’t get a lot, but I did get the Mauvember Multistick, the Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops and a few of the Sephora Collection lip products on sale for $7 which was exciting.

Ooo, those sound like great choices! I’m kind of kicking myself for not grabbing one of the Mauvember shades. They look beautiful!!
