Haul from Stila’s 50-75% Off Warehouse Sale
A long time ago I remember buying that Sephora 10th Anniversary can thingy that contained Stila products that did not match my skin tone (I didn’t know that back then) and I immediately hated it. I had gotten that Convertible compact (too light), a mascara (just didn’t like) and a lipgloss (hate the brush applicator so I tossed the whole thing). I never used the compact, but I did use up the mascara. I still have my kajal pencil in Onyx which I love love love and that was all I loved about the kit.
Since then, I haven’t been interested in Stila at all except for their kajal liners. I had only bought the kajal pencil in Topaz since then and that’s it. Sad, right? Well, I wasn’t feeling Stila like that. *shrugz*
Stila had come out with that Barbie collection and when I saw that black Barbie with an afro I wanted that kit so bad. I didn’t want to spend the money on it because I didn’t want the lip glaze or the mascara. I just wanted the eyeshadows and the blush…with the can of course. Love the can!
How did I end up with this kit? Well, Stila had their Warehouse Sale two weeks ago 50-75% off. I took a look at the inventory on their website and saw that this kit was more than half off so I purchased it right away. I purchased it along with some other items like the smudge pots – both more than half off. I got one in Pomegranate and one in Purple Pumps. Another thing I really wanted for a long while, but I wasn’t trying to pay full price for since I have a lot of MSFs, was that Illuminating Finishing Powder in Bronze and that was half off so I purchased that too and got more than half off.
Here is the Barbie Loves Stila Foxy Doll set…that came with a Stila can (which I love and it comes with a little doll bio book which is too cute- I have 2 now), a Lash Visor Waterproof Mascara in black (I think – haven’t tried it yet and won’t for a while because I have too many mascaras to try out), a Lip Glaze in Foxy (looks good, nice color and consistency, but I still hate the brush applicator – makes a mess if you’re not careful), and a trio palette with Foxy Barbie Doll on the cover that protects two eyeshadows (one is pearly white shimmery color and the other reminds me of a less shimmery MAC Patena) and a blush that looks like the color of my Pomegranate smudge pot. Retail Price: $40.00, Sale Price: $18.00

Beauty.com 20% “Certain Items” Sale Haul
This sale came out right after Sephora ended their 20% of Friends and Family sale. I didn’t catch their sale in time so I went to Beauty.com and got the same deal. I only wanted three things, but one of them Sephora didn’t have at the time and Beauty.com doesn’t have at all and that was Gold Member cream blush from NARS. The other two items I did purchase were Love Joy blush by NARS ($25.00) and that Stila Smudge Pot mini set that came with a tiny liner brush ($36.00) + the 20% discount. And yes, I paid $5.99 shipping 
for snail mail.
Anyway, here are my items. Please excuse my camera, but it was acting out that day…
Smudge Pot colors, top row, from left to right: Kitten (reminds me of painterly paint pot, but shimmery and creamy) and Starry Night (a deep blue-purple color)
Smudge Pot colors, bottom row, from left to right: Violet (a dark violet color) and Black (jet black)
Blush: NARS Love Joy (a shimmery, medium-dark, pink-tan color with gold flects of glitter)
