Sephora Spring VIB Sale 2015

What better way to start a beauty blog, than with a haul post, right?! I always enjoy reading what everyone else hauls, and I can't be the only one. For those of you who missed it, VIB Rouge and VIBs at Sephora received 15% off during the Spring sale, and BIs received 10% off. As a VIB, I took advantage of my 15% off! My mom only received the 10%, so I shared mine with her.  :)

Here's a peek:

This was technically six different orders (online and in-store) because I get free two day Flash Shipping, and you could use the 15% off discount as many times as you wanted during the promotional days! I decided to pick up a few things that I've heard great things about, but things I didn't necessarily want to pay full price for. I only owned one Dior item before this sale (the ever popular Dior Crème de Rose Lip Balm), but I picked up two more and used points for a third. I decided on the Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper in Sheer Pink, the Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Awakening Blush in Petal (it only comes in one color), and used a 100 point perk to get the Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum.
 
A LOT of the smaller things in the picture are samples, and I tried to grab things that I already knew I liked (Elizabeth and James Black Nirvana), or things that i thought I would like (Viktor and Rolf Spicebomb and Nest White Sandalwood), but a few things apparently ran out and Sephora replaced them with different samples (like the Clinique three pack and Queen of Hungary mist). I must have been on a lip and fragrance kick when shopping because I did get quite a few cologne samples (I don't really care for the citrusy, fruity scents of women's perfumes), and quite a few lip products. The Kaplan MD Perfect Pout Lip Mask + Lip Balm Duo, Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balm in Blueberry, Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Crème in Georgie Girl, and of course the Dior Lip Addict mentioned above all came home with me. Georgie Girl has to be one of the prettiest pink lipsticks that I own, and that is saying a lot! Soap & Glory products are being phased out of Sephora (they're going drugstore), so all of those items are on clearance. What better time to try something from them! There isn't a huge selection left, but I did get the Hand Food hand cream to try out. After hearing MakeupbyTiffanyD and Kathleenlights (I think) rave about the L'Occitane Cleansing and Softening Shower Gel with Almond Oil, I decided to pick up the small size to try it out since I was in need of a new shower gel anyways. Thanks to Emily Noel at Beauty Broadcast, I wanted to try the Estee Lauder Little Black Primer because I am a huge fan of lash primers. My current favorite is the Lancôme Cils Booster XL (but the Dior one I mentioned above may be taking it's place!), but I'm almost out of that one, and the fact that the Estee Lauder one is tinted black intrigues me. I needed a new Beauty Blender and picked up the black "Pro" one to replace my beloved pink one. I've tried a few dupes, including the Real Techniques one, and none are exactly the same. A lot of people love the Shiseido Facial Cotton, so I grabbed it to use with my Bioderma and eye makeup remover. Last but not least, I used some more points to get the Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil-Gel, the Philosophy No Reason to Hide Multi-Imperfection Transforming Serum, and the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster (not pictured-I left it in my bathroom!).
 
And, that's it! Let me know what you want a review on!
