I love when sephora posts swatches of their palettes. Since I only have one skin tone to swatch these beauties, I really can't give it all the justice it deserves.
Which one is your favorite?
My Sephora VIB Haul
Here is a quick description of the products I picked up in Sephora's own words.
BITE BEAUTY
Deconstructed Rose Lip Gloss Library
Each high-shine, ultrahydrating lip color is inspired by the timelessness and healing properties of its namesake flower. Lightly fragranced with a rose scent, each hue—from soft, ethereal pink to deep, striking red—is inspired by a blossom.
URBAN DECAY
Ink For Eyes
With an ultrafine tip for a smooth, controlled application every time, this product is ideal when you want razor-thin lines, winged cat eyes, or bold, dramatic lines. The longwearing formula glides on smoothly without skipping or pulling, and dries down for a waterproof finish that won’t smudge, run, or feather.
KAT VON D
Lock-It Tattoo Foundation
Kat created this foundation to provide exceptional coverage, without compromising a smooth, striking finish. Formulated with 21 percent pigment, this powerful formula was developed to match a broad range of skintones with bold coverage—the proprietary pigments can even effectively cover tattoos. The combination of raw materials and the best siliconic elastomers and siliconic esters provide 24-hour wear with transfer resistance. Natural polymers absorb oil for a matte, soft finish and the added emollients provide a velvety texture for perfectly smooth, hydrated skin.
NARS
The NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette
Connect with captivating colors that will have all eyes following you. Ready to wear every day, every way—15 signature eye shadow shades every NARSissist adores.
Here is the Inked For Eyes, swatted by my little man when I was picking up my makeup.
So what did you get during the sale? And have you tried any of these products?

NARSissist Contour Blush Kit!! Can It Be?
Today (April 3rd) Nordstrom Chicago tweeted this picture! What?! Then NARS retweeted the picture.
Here's my stab at what I see comes in this kit..
Nars Contour Blush- $42 each
- Olympia
- Paloma
- Geinah
Nars Blush- $30 each
- Orgasm
- Outlaw
- Luster
- Gaiety
- Amour
Nars Brush
- #21 Contour Brush- $42
- #20 Blush Brush- $42
That would make a retail value of $360, if everything is the same size as retail.
I do not have what the price will be for this palette/kit. I will keep the blog updated as more information is posted.
CIATÉ Flower Manicure
This... was horrible.
I recently purchased the flower manicure kit from Sephora, I thought that this would be the cutest spring/ summer manicure. Today I sat down to finally do the manicure and give my cute results to my blog. To my disappointment this manicure would not cooperate. First starting the the base polish which after 5 coats was still streaky and not opaque. I then gave up and tried a Julep color instead. Then after drying the polish I followed the instructions of putting a generous amount of clear polish on my nail then patting the flowers on. Holy mess. The flowers would not lay down to the curve of the nail. In the end I ended up with over saturated dried flowers and a muddy mess of polish.
Original Ciate color With Julep color and finished product
Here is Sephora's Description
What it does:
Create an intricate pattern in an instant by scattering natural flowers onto a clear topcoat. This do-it-all flower manicure kit is the perfect way to get nails ready for spring. Paint, add delicate flower petals, seal, buff, and you have a fresh flower-art manicure in no time. Use the two types of enclosed flowers to mix, match, or create patterns.
