scarlett's mama reviews: May 2011

My newest obsession is Ebates. If you don't know what Ebates is, basically you sign up through them and shop through a link they provide, and you get cash back for your purchases. Anywhere from 1% to I think I've seen 18%, but only on ridiculous sites I would never order from. Sephora has 8% cash back on Ebates, so I placed an order [without knowing that they were going to be celebrating their birthday with a 12% cash back offer just days after I ordered, GRR]. Anyway. This is my haul.

oooh, the box. sidenote here, Asa opened my box while I was sleeping because he is ~~a nosy shit~~concerned for my safety because he didn't know what Sephora was.

the samples! Sephora lets you pick three free samples with every order. DKNY be delicious is my favorite perfume EVER. A mango body butter I probably won't use but will give to a friend. Girl meets pearl sample from benefit. then I had a code for the benefit's b.right skincare samples. I thought they would be bigger and I'm disappointed that I chose them over the code I had for a full size Buxom lipstick.

the actual stuff I bought:)

Korres lip butter in pomegranate. Everyone raves about these, but I'm not sold on it. plus 12$ for a lip balm is kind of ridiculous compared to my beloved Blistex that costs .97 cents!

Benefit Feelin' Cheeky minis. This was 10$ and probably my favorite thing I got. The big bottles of these go for 24-28$ but I feel like I would never go through an entire bottle, and their shelf life is six months for high beam and twelve for the tints.

here they are compared to a pocketbac from Bath & Body Works. These are limited edition btw, so I would buy them now if you want them.

The Sephora Give Me Some Lip sampler. The mascara version of this is really popular but I have too much mascara as it is, so I went with the lip version.
