Haul | My First Sephora Order

Hello Friends,

So, unless you've been living under a beauty blogger rock for the past year you'll know that Sephora ships to the UK! However, you do have to spend over £75 and the shipping rate is £6 so it's not a venture to be taken lightly which is why it took me so long to place an order. I wanted to wait until I was desperate for a few things you could only buy in the US, particularly limited edition stuff, and with the hype around the BECCA x Jaclyn Hill highlighter I could resist no longer!

Without further ado, the products:

First up, the BECCA x Jaclyn Hill highlighter. This is most definitely as gorgeous as everyone says! I'm not a big highlighter girl so this will probably only be pulled out when I'm getting ready for a night out rather than an everyday product but I am super excited to play around with it! I feel it would look great as an inner corner highlight when wearing a bronzey copper Zoella-esque eye.

Another limited edition product, which is actually available in the UK, is the Olivia Palermo X Ciaté London Blusher-Bronzer Duo in Bluff Point. This shade is directed towards girls with lighter skin and there is also a slightly darker version - Seaside Park for those with darker skin. The packaging of this is absolutely adorable and feels expensive, even the 'click' of the seal is super satisfying! The pigmentation of this isn't great but I actually prefer my blushes and bronzers to be less pigmented as you can't over do it (something which I have been a culprit of many times!) 

On to the lips, and I love lip products.

The Bite Beauty lipstick Duo in Fig & Date. Now these are teeny tiny but Bite products are raved about the internet over so I couldn't resist! These are two lovely everyday shades that I know will be forever floating around in my handbag for when I need a mid-day pick me up.

Sephora offer a great line of sets called Sephora Favourites, whereby a selection of their best-selling products are packaged up together in a handy try-before-you-buy collection. Of course the one I went for was 'Give Me Some Lip', a selection of the finest lip products sephora have to offer.

In this set we find: 
Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick in Coral Blossom
Sephora Collection Rouge Infusion The Neutrals in 19 Peony
Make Up Forever Artist Plexi Gloss in 202
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lip in Lolita
Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment
Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Crème in Je T'Aime

I have already tried the Fresh, Tarte and Marc Jacobs offerings all of which I love. The Fresh lip treatment smells divine and is the perfect daytime lip balm. The Marc Jacobs lipstick is pretty much the reason I bought the set and I'm so glad I did! Although you almost need a microscope to see the product, (I kid, but you don't get an awful lot) it's a beautiful pinky red and sticks around on the lips. The Tarte lip butter is smooth and a lovely summery colour, this is going to be perfect for 'no make-up' make-up days.

Last but not least, the freebies. Tarte crease-less concealer in a variety of shades, a sachet of Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser and Tom Ford Noir sample sheet.

So there you have it, I managed to keep my order down to the £75 minimum (pre-tax) and it arrived within a week of ordering. All in all I'm pleasantly surprised with the service after hearing a couple of horror stories and I'll definitely be making another order soon, probably when the Christmas sets are released!

Let me know if you've ordered from Sephora and what you'd recommend I try! Love hearing your views :)
