Did you have any doubt there would be some serious hauling from my trip to the US? Shame on you if you did. The first thing I did when I got to my hotel in Las Vegas was chuck everything in the room and make a bee line for Sephora. Even if you aren’t a beauty fan like me, that is exactly what you should do when you land in the USA. Man, woman or child …. go to Sephora.
To kick off what will be many haul posts, I thought I should start with my most eventful first three days. Let’s take a trip back to ……
Day 1, Haul 1: Sephora at Miracle Mile, Planet Hollywood
I had been travelling for around 30 hours. 3 Planes. 2 hours sleep. 3 screaming children. But, I wasn’t going to let that get in my way of a Sephora haul. The closest Sephora to my hotel was practically across the road at Miracle Mile in Planet Hollywood. I could not run fast enough.
The stuff in this haul was mostly on my wishlist as I didn’t have much energy to browse every item. Now remember, all items are plus tax (still so much cheaper than AUS!):
- Sephora Collection – Daily Brush Cleaner To Go, Travel Size – US $6
- CLEAN – Original Scent Moisture-Absorbant Deodorant – US $18
- NARS – Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl – US $24
- Alterna – Summer Hair Sun-Kissed Mist – US $20
- Sephora Collection – Professionnel Lip Brush #61 – US $10
- Bliss – Ingrown Eliminating Pads 10pack – US $8
- Too Faced – Lip Insurance Lip Primer – US $19
- Peter Thomas Roth – Instant Mineral Powder SPF 45 – US $30
- NARS – Blush in Nico – US $27
- Sephora Collection – Marbling and Dotting Nail Tool – US $7
- Urban Decay – All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray To Go, Travel Size- US $11
- Urban Decay – 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar – US $18
- Urban Decay – Dew Me Moisturizing Makeup Setting Spray – US $29
- Urban Decay – Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tube in Eden – US $19
- Hourglass – Film Noir Lash Lacquer in Kohl – US $28
- Sephora Collection – Lash Application Kit – US $7
- Sephora Collection – Refillable Rollerball – US $3
- Sephora Collection – Premium Dual Pencil Sharpener- US $5
- Sephora Collection – Cuticle Nipper – US $18
- Sephora Collection – Nail Blink in Pink Zebra – US $7
- OPI – Stencil Kit – US $5
- Benefit Little Look Good Kit – Sephora Beauty Insider 500 point perk
On top of all that I scored a sweet stack of samples thanks to the awesome sales assistant. Now for the devastating yet surprisingly cheap grand total, including taxes …..
US $344.84

Whoa!!! That’s a haul and a half!! When you get home can you so a total US haul…it might cause me to break my iPhone due to drooling but it would be so fun to see!
Oh hunny I can’t promise that. It would be so gigantic it would crash the website! hahahaha
I Love sephora I am so happy you got everything on your wish list! Oh if you like UD shadows thee is a brand new addition out! I think you should get! :-p
Oh hunny this isn’t even close to my entire wish list. This was just Part 1!
And that right there is my main reason for wanting to visit the U.S! Gorgeous haul. The Benefit bonus seems great!!
The Benefit gift is AWESOME!. You will have to wait for a further individual blog about it but it comes with very deluxe samples of some of their biggest hits. LOVE IT!
AH-MAZING KIMMY!!!!!!!!
VERY PROUD!!!

Thank-you, thank-you!
what do i think of your haul? …. what do i think of your haul?…. i feel sick…. i am sooo jealous. You my dear have hit the mother load. This is only part 1. Quick i need a bucket….
THANK-YOU! That is the reaction I was looking for. Sheer and utter nausea. Nailed it!
hehehehe. No don’t feel like that. This is what one must do when they come to the USA. It is not an option … it is a MUST!
Wow wow wow! Love it all! I’m even more excited for my US trip now
Must investigate this Sephora Beauty Insider thing, can I just sign up in store?
Yeah you can just sign up in-store and they give you your card on the spot!
holy lord. words cannot properly convey my jealousy and awe.
WHOA! Massive great haul, Kimmi!!!! I’m green with envy now.
hehe
Those NARS stuff you got is awesome! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on ‘em. Glad you’re having a blast in the US!
Thanks Nadia! I have lots more NARS to show you. Sephora is just my heaven on earth.
Holy moley! This is one impressive haul. I can’t wait to see the rest of it! It seems we’re similar in our ability to go nuts in Sephora. When I was last in the US I spent over US$500 on my purchases. Shh…
Oh Olgie, I think we share that talent with many hehe. Plus, this is just Haul 1 …. you wait. You wait!
O.M.G!!! that has got to be the BEST haul ever!! i am trying to convince my family to move to america just to shop at sephora, but no one really wants to join me
great post!

Oh I love Sephora. If you need a “US Friend” in the future (cough) you know who to ask.
Thanks angel pie!!! You are a star. xoxox
I think my eyes just tried to escape out of my head.
WANT WANT WANT. Very jealous.

Hahaha and I love you so much for commenting 3 times! Even funnier is the fact I am writing up the second haul as we speak!!
