We’ve finally reached that wonderful time of year. The one time that our beloved Sephora actually has a sale *gasps*.

 Sephora is offering 20% off for VIB Rouge members (those who spend $1000 or more in a year) and VIB members (those who spend $350 or more in a year) for the Holidays. The VIB Holiday sale kicks of November 6th and ends on November 10th. VIB Members use code GIFTVIB and VIB Rouge us code GIFTROUGE for shopping online or present your coupon in store so check your emails ladies!

 I haven’t been doing a ton of makeup shopping lately but the VIB sale is always my favorite time to try some new things. Here are a few items that have caught my eye for this years VIB sale!

Sephora VIB 2014

NEST Fragrance Collection Set ($38)- I’ve been wanting to own some NEST fragrances for forever now. Their scents are so rich and complex. This set is the perfect way to own a bunch and spend a little.

Sephora Formula X Nail Polish ($12.50) in Alchemy and Ombre Glitters– I’m new to the Formula X range but what I’ve tried so far I have enjoyed. They always have unique finishes and colors that draw me in!

Viseart Eyeshadow Palette ($80)- Yet another neutral palette that I’ve heard amazing things about.

SEPHORA All Occasion Eye Ensemble ($49)- Is there a such thing as too many eyeliners? I think not.

Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer ($28)- Grad school has caused the return of my severe dark circles and I am in desperate need of concealer to look halfway alive. I’ve read some great reviews of this one so I may have to snag it.

Makeup Forever Artist Eyeshadows ($21 each, $34 duo, $44 trio)- MUFE reformulated their shadows earlier this year and they seem so luxe. I have to get my hands on some of these while they’re on sale or I’ll be waiting until The Makeup Show next summer.

Elizabeth and James Nirvana Mini Rollerball Set ($20)- Pretty sure these perfumes have reached cult classic status, I’ve got to get my hands on these.

Soap & Glory Full Clean Ahead Set ($25)- In case you haven’t noticed I have a slight obsession with smelling good.

NARS Blush in Mata Hari ($30)- NARS blushes are a staple, gotta stock up while they’re on sale.

SEPHORA Mini Glitter Liner Set– Just because my eyes need some sparkle for the holidays!

After dreaming about it for years I finally got the chance to go to The Makeup Show in Chicago this past weekend. It was my first time and I had a blast! It was like walking into Sephora on steroids and I got to experience it with some Chicago friends that I haven’t seen in a while! 
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sebastien Tardif, demoing his product, Veil Complexion Fix, on Taylor.  

Celebrity Makeup Artist, AJ Crimson, demoing his products while at Frend’s Beauty booth.
AJ Crimson touched my face yall!! I died, lived, and died again! He was so much fun. 
There were lots of amazing artists at all of the booths showing gorgeous dramatic looks and intricate body painting. 
James Vincent introducing keynote speaker Ashunta Sheriff .
Ashunta Sheriff gave an amazing keynote, sharing about her beginning as a makeup artist and the many years she worked with celebs including Diddy and Alicia Keys. 
Ashunta & I after my face was beat with her product “Perfect Blend”. Y’all know I bought it and I can’t wait to play with it some more! 
Maya, Taylor, Alicia & I
My first TMS Haul tossed all over my messy bed as soon as I got home. 
Overall the show was wonderful, everyone I encountered was beautiful and friendly. I wish I had got to see more of the demos and speakers but I’m already planning to go back next year!
