Collective BH Cosmetics Haul + First Impressions


 
 
I finally bought some goodies from bhcosmetics.com!! This haul is from two orders which I used ebates on to get at least 7.5% cashback. I haven't played with these much, but I hope to do some reviews in the future iA. For now, here are my first impressions of the products. Sorry about the picture quality :( You can click the images to enlarge them. Links to the items are provided; just click on the names.

Disclaimer: I was not sent any of these products. I paid for them myself.

 
There are a lot of brushes in this set, but I don't plan to use every single one. The handles feel light, which make them seem cheap to me.

 

I love how these bigger face brushes come with brush guards to keep their shape! I just wish one of the last 2 was angled...
 
 
 
I got mine in Tulip, as you can see from the name above :p
 
A little swatch for you to get an idea of the colors.
 
 
 
 
 
I hope I find a neutral color to love! Some of these are sheer, so don't be afraid of the bright ones ;)
 

 

 

 
I got palette one, so iA I find something that works for my skin tone.
 
 

 
I got the palette in light, but I think I should have waited to get medium...

I got a BH Liquid EyeLiner in black for free during one of there sales for V-Day. Love the point and color payoff. It's black and stays that way (unlike some)! It also looks like it has good staying power, but more on that to come ;)

Sephora 2015 Birthday Haul

I made my first Sephora order of 2015!!! I am calling this my birthday haul because it is my birthday in January and you can only get a free gift from Sephora on your birthday month. I got a few extra things in this order, but I don't think you have to buy items to redeem the b-day gift. So here is my mini haul :)

I didn't have to order $50 worth of products to get free shipping because Sephora came out with a recent subscription. I joined Sephora Flash for only $10/year to get free 2 day shipping instead of 3 and no minimum purchase is necessary! As soon as you add Flash to your cart, your order qualifies and you get the perks. I highly suggest this if you are a Sephora lover :) To find out more about Flash, please go to http://www.sephora.com/sephora-flash-subscription-P379518?icid2=flash_lp_body_image_012815

Now for the items. For this years birthday gift, I chose...

Nars lip pencil duo. You can pick between this Nars duo or a Peter Thomas Roth skincare duo. This Nars duo comes with a mini satin lip pencil in Rikugien, a light pinky-nude and Cruella, a red velvet matt. Between the two, I love the red since it makes my teeth look whiter and it is a dark color! I don't think these can be sharpened so they are limited in amount :(
 

I wanted to try a different sheet mask by Sephora, so I added the Face Mask in Green Tea (mattifying & anti-blemish) to my cart. I also wanted to try some Bliss products since they have a lot of good reviews. Now I can have a mini spa with the Triple Oxygen Facial In A Box. Hope these products last longer than 1 use!

For my 3 free samples with every order, I chose Versace Yellow Diamond, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and Paco Rabanne 1 Million. Ever since I smelled a little of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and loved it, I knew I wanted samples before I decide to buy the full size. It smell nice and soft and I will be adding it to my wishlist!
 
Finally, I used a promo code to get even more samples! I chose a 12 piece skincare sample bag and inside comes:
Tata Harper regenerating cleanser
Fresh soy face cleanser
Nude detox brightening, fizzy powder wash
Soap and Glory vitamin C facial wash
Ole Henriksen 3 in 1 cleansing gelee
Omorovicza thermal cleansing balm
First Aid Beauty face cleanser
Philosophy Purity 3 in 1 cleanser

 Peter Thomas Roth rose stem cell bio repair gel mask
Origins GinZing refreshing face mask
Glamglow supermud mask
Bliss multi-face-eted all in 1 anti aging clay mask
 
I am most excited to try the masks but all in all, I can't wait to put all my new goodies to use! Let me know in the comments if you bought anything from Sephora recently. I would love to get ideas ;)
