Cleanser with that?
The sales associate also recommended Fresh Soy Face Cleanser. I had also read online reviews about it and I heard it's a great cleanser, so I decided to try it out. I'm very sensitive to smells and initially I hated the smell but after the second use it didn't bother me so much.

My new favorite palette...
I really like my Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay because the eye shadows are pigmented and long lasting, so I purchased 2 more:
Another palette...
More items...
Since it was the Early Access Event, they were giving out free striped cosmetic bag to VIB members.
It's so cute. I love it!
I didn't have to show my email or anything. I just showed my VIB card to get the cosmetic bag along with the 15% off everything.
- Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette: This is Urban Decay's new palette. It comes with a variety of 10 shades of eye shadows and a double ended brush. The shades are so vibrant!
The 5 shades on top of palette includes: Revolt (left), Gonzo, Slowburn, Savage, Fringe The bottom 5 shades are: Chaos (left), Jilted, Urban, Freak, Thrash
I actually used Thrash few days ago, which is bright metallic teal. It lasted me throughout the day!
- Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: I'm happy I got this palette. It has basic colors that can be used to highlight or give definition to the crease. I really wanted matte colors to go with my Naked 2 palette and this is just perfect.
The 6 shades are Venus (left), Foxy, W.O.S., Naked2, Faint, Crave (black matte)
I used Crave few days ago to create a smokey look with the Electric Pressed Pigment Palette (Shade Thrash). Just like the other Urban Decay palettes I've tried, the eyeshadows are long lasting and pigmented.

Day 2 purchases |
I forgot to buy few stuff on Thursday, so I went back on Friday evening to Sephora (Quartier Dix 30) with my best friend.
- Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil Light: I read many positive reviews about this. I've been using this for past few days at night time before going to bed. I found it a little greasy, so wouldn't use it during day time.

I can never get enough of eyeliners...
Let me also get a blush brush...

Day 3 purchases |
I went to Fairview (Pointe-Claire) and decided to pass by at Sephora because I had forgotten to buy Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color (color Lovechild - pale pink) for my cousin. I have the same and my cousin really liked it, so I decided to get it for her. It's very hydrating.
My first tinted moisturizer...
I also wanted to look through their tinted moisturizers. I initially wanted to get Tarte Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer (Medium Tan) but the one that I saw in store didn't have SPF, so I asked a sales associate and this is what she suggested Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. She said this was lightweight and looked more natural. She also helped me find my shade.
- Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 (Shade 05): You can definitely smell the sunscreen. I only tried it once after purchasing it and found that it was a little darker than my skin tone. My friends said they didn't really notice it but I just wasn't in love with it. However, I'm going to give it a second try and hopefully find ways to make it work.

I can never get enough of eyeliners...
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil: I really like this eyeliner but I only used it once. I like how it goes on so smoothly and it stayed throughout the day.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Perversion 0.04 oz |
Let me also get a blush brush...
- Marc Jacobs Beauty The Blush - Angled Blush Brush No. 10
: I've read many positive reviews of Marc Jacobs Beauty Brushes. I was looking for a blush brush, so decided to try this one out. It's a good brush but you can find cheaper brushes that get the same job done. Nonetheless, their Bronzer Brush is definitely on my wishlist but I will wait and get it during their Holiday Sale.

Wait.. WHAT?
I went to the counter and was told that I was missing about $31 to unlock the VIB Rouge Status. I then realized I spent more than I had planned. Although I did feel a little guilty for few seconds, it soon turned into excitement...
I needed a smudge brush and I was going to get another eye makeup brush but a sales associate suggested this set:
- Sephora Collection Smoke Machine Smokey Eye Brush Set: For the price, this brush set is worth it. I tried all their brushes but didn't try the mascara yet.

Unlocking the VIB Rouge Status
And finally I got my VIB Rouge Welcome Kit. Click here to read more about it.
How did that get there?
When I got home, I found the Tarte Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer. I didn't realize I put it in my basket and paid for it (I honestly don't know where my mind was lol). So I decided to return it..

I'm not planning on going to Sephora for awhile. I can't believe I've spent this much! I'm happy with my purchases though. However, I'm not going to Sephora for awhile.
