So, a while ago I got myself a Sephora White Card. Ok. No biggie.
In Doha, how it works is for every 10 riyal you spend, you get 1 point. With a certain amount of points accumulated, you receive gifts! The 10 for 1 rule is very extremely terrible. Which brings me to my second thought. (Even though I now realize I didn't have a first thought)
In Romania, or any civilized place, 1 riyal (leu) is 1 point.
Why is this so terrible in Doha?
Well, at 200 points, you get the Sephora black card. Then, you get presents all the time. For actually no reason. So, if you think about it, in Doha, you have to spend 2,000 riyals in Sephora to get the damn black card.
Ok, moving on.
So this box was the only gift the guy had left, even though it was just supposed to be in display about the Black Card. And he gave it to me! Me, the White Card Nerd! What is my luck!
The shower gel/bubble bath is with Peony flower extract. Smells amazing! The bottle shape is really cool, a kind of half circle (round on one side, flat on the other)
My cousin has his really great eyeliner that I love, this sparkly gold/green color. Well, I got the same one, but in black. I've got to say, it really isn't a lot in amount, plus it's not water proof. It if pretty pigmented though. And dries fast.
Now, this lip liner is a really pigmented color. I really love it. I know it's supposed to only outline your lips, but it's a really fun bright color. So cute! I filled in my lips with it, and it did feel really dry, but boy, it's pigmented! It's the 17 "funky fuchsia". I had my hair in a messy bun all day and this was an awesome pop of color to my face.

During the summer I get an e-mail from Sephora about a gift I had received for joining (the only gift you get for the White Card). It was a 125 ml Supreme Body Lotion and a 140 ml Lagoon Creamy Body Wash.
I was like, Cool. I actually really needed a body wash, and those two things were pretty awesome sounding. Then I realized that the e-mail wasn't showing up properly. So, who knows why, I decide to highlight the text.
In this empty box next "validity date" appears a date. The 24th of August. I was in Romania on vacation, so I couldn't pick them up. But on the 24th I came back in Doha for school.
So fast forward to August 24th.
I'm in Sephora. In order to receive my gift, I have to buy something. So I choose some really cool nail stickers.
Then, when I get to the paying part of the process, I give the cashier my Sephora card and tell him about the gift. He looks a bit uncertain, and he goes into this drawer and pulls out this pretty big box.
Okey dokey.
When I get home, I open up the box. What I see is no body wash and lotion.
First, there is this card about Eid. Ok, I think, My voucher must of expired today and so he gave me my Eid present. There's an Eid present?
Next, I see a pink bath sponge. Then one of those small compact Sephora eye shadows. There's also an eyeliner, a pretty big bubble bath/shower gel bottle, an O.P.I nail polish, a lipstick, and a lip liner. That is a lot of stuff.
I'm thinking, I'm not supposed to be getting this stuff! It's so much! So then, I read the card.
Blah, blah, blah, for continuing to visit SEPHORA for your purchases throughout this year with your SEPHORA Black Card, we woul...... WHAT? It just said Black Card. So this is a gift for Black Card people.
Then I look on the back of the box. A small sticker says, "DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE".
So this box was the only gift the guy had left, even though it was just supposed to be in display about the Black Card. And he gave it to me! Me, the White Card Nerd! What is my luck!
I got the coolest leftover gift ever! Thank god they were out of Lagoony stuff!
*Product Description Time*
Now that story time is over (Eeeeek!), I'll tell you all what exactly is in here.
First of all, the nail stickers that I bought. So cool! The stickers can come on skin and nail! Definitely will be using them soon.
The sponge is pretty basic and pink, it's more on the smaller end, so I think I'll use it for traveling.
The shower gel/bubble bath is with Peony flower extract. Smells amazing! The bottle shape is really cool, a kind of half circle (round on one side, flat on the other)
I really love the nail polish. It's O.P.I's "I SAW...U SAW...WE SAW...WARSAW" It looks black on your nail, but has this navy blue tint to it.
My cousin has his really great eyeliner that I love, this sparkly gold/green color. Well, I got the same one, but in black. I've got to say, it really isn't a lot in amount, plus it's not water proof. It if pretty pigmented though. And dries fast.
Next, the eyeshadow. It's a shimmer called "Satin corset N*68". I really love this color. It's a nice nude, but shimmery. Very simple and cutesy. I actually don't own any make-up, and I was looking for eyeliner and eye shadow. Check!
This lipstick is not my color. I'm pretty tanned, And this is a pretty light shade of pink for me. It's the Sephora Rouge "Seduce".
Now, this lip liner is a really pigmented color. I really love it. I know it's supposed to only outline your lips, but it's a really fun bright color. So cute! I filled in my lips with it, and it did feel really dry, but boy, it's pigmented! It's the 17 "funky fuchsia". I had my hair in a messy bun all day and this was an awesome pop of color to my face.
So I guest this is it. I have a ton of projects done, and I really want to share them with you. Keep an eye out for that.
;)
