Sephora VIB Sale Haul part 2

Mr. Delivery man brought two boxes for me today.  Both from Sephora.  It's always an exciting day when that happens!  

Not pictured are a few Christmas gifts. What I did buy was Bobbie Brown eye cream...I swear I notice a difference in reduced fine lines with this!  A beauty blender and cleanser kit.  I already had a sample of the cleanser and it is incredible so I thought for a few dollars more I would try the beauty blender too.  A Make Up For Ever 15 pan artist shadow pallet.  I have a 12 pan pallet and love it.  The individual shadows are pricey so getting 15 shadows for 48 bucks is a bargain.  Then I bought a duo of Ardency Inn shadows. Typically they run 21 each but two were sold for 29 plus I got 20% off that price. So almost buy one get one free.  

The Make Up For Ever pallet didn't disappoint. The colors are fantastic!  My other one is all neutrals so this will be fun. 

I was bummed though when I opened the Ardency Inn shadows to find one completely busted.  

The swatch on the right is the busted color and I love it actually...so I am considering using it as a pigment.  If I return it then I won't be able to buy the same kit (sold out) so I may try to make it work. As long as I handle with care it will work as a crushed pigment.  Although I seem to get broken shadows a lot recently!  I still have one more item to be delivered tomorrow, a lip crayon.  

On the plus side, I received an email from Ulta saying I needed to spend $140 more this year to keep my platinum status.  My first thought was "Sweet...that means that this year I just spent what I would have normally been spending at Ulta at Sephora instead to be VIB Rouge so that equals less guilt!"  And no Ulta is not getting my money...no platinum status needed.  Sephora won this year.
