My Sephora Personal One-On-One Haul

In the fall I recently received a nice, fat gift card to Sephora. After spending a fraction of it on a Christmas gift for my sister and a little something for myself (Kat Von D's Alchemist Holographic Palette, review coming), I put it aside. I want to make the most of this gift card so I decided that I'd aim to spend $350 of it this calendar year so that I can reach VIB status. I also decided that I'd try to spend it in $50, $75 or $125 chunks so that I could take advantage of Sephora's makeover offerings.

I happened to have a birthday party to attend last Saturday night so I figured that that was a good of reason as any to start really spending my gift card. Since I was in need of a few key products, I booked myself a personal one-on-one session at Sephora's Bloor St. location in Toronto.

I'll write about that experience in more detail later this week but for now, I want to show off what I got because I received a ton off goodies. Yes, I had to spend over $125 to get all this stuff but hey, I was going to do that anyway
