As some of you may know, my birthday was in April. At the end of March / beginning of April I won a Sephora giftcard from Chelsea (who is one of my favorite bloggers, y’all should go subscribe to her) and used it towards this awesome haul.
The Samples
Sephora offers 3 free samples with your order and I had a few vouchers to get a few other free items as well. If you would like an in-depth review of any of these items let me know in the comments:
- Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in 1, 2, and 4.5
- DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense
- Philosophy Miracle Worker Miraculous Anti-Aging Eye Repair
- Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System for Dry to Dry-Combination Skin
The Birthday Gift
As a Sephora Beauty Insider I get a free gift around my birthday. This years gift was actually a duo of Benefit products but they still had last years birthday gift still available. I chose to go with last years because I had already tried Benfit’s They’re Real mascara and knew that I loved it and I really wanted to try something so new. I got this little duo of fresh’s Sugar lip balm in origianal and Rose.
The Palette
The fact that I was able to get the Theodora Urban Decay Oz Palette has me soooo excited. I’ve wanted this palette since it came out and was so afraid it would be sold out before I was able to get it. Actually the first place I went to get this was Ulta and it WAS sold out there. Getting that Sephora giftcard was a blessing and a sign that I needed to snap this up while I could.
Fun fact: I just found out that this is permanently sold-out on Sephora’s website.
These are the shades that come in the Theodora palette, I’m not going to go into detail about the shades here because I have a post planned for just this palette later on.
The Eye Shadow
Awhile ago I received a sample of Urban Decay’s Evidence, Half-Baked, and their primer potion on a little card. It was a free sample with an Ulta purchase, it was older so the potion and the eye shadows were starting to adhere to the card and I only got one use out of them but that one use was enough for me. I loved the Urban Decay shadows and knew I needed more of them in my life, specifically these two. I started out with Evidence.
Fun Fact: Urban Decay’s Eye Shadow’s easily snap out of their little containers to be placed in a customizable palette.
Speaking of customizable palette…this will be explained in later post, this is just a tease (I’m such a meany.)
Swatches
This is a swatch of the two products that come with the Theodora Palette. The red line is one swipe of Urban Decay’s Super-Saturated High Gloss in Theodora, while the black line is one swipe of Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner in Zero.
This is swatch of the Evidence eye shadow next to the Theodora products. Again this is just one swipe!
Have you tried Urban Decay Eye Shadows?
Oooooh, you got so much awesome stuff!!!! I am jealous!! And thanks for the shout-out! 🙂
