Did you get anything from the Sephora Friends and Family sale where almost everything was 20% off?

At first i thought i was just going to have to drool at everyone’s hauls since they dont ship to Japan but Miss SS offered to buy some items for me! I wont say who Miss SS is because i dont want anyone bugging her to do this for them. <– the sale is over anyway so dont bother her please! She went to a lot of trouble helping me purchase these items and mailing them to me!!
sephora06

What i got…
sephora01
Doesnt look like much right? To be honest i only got 2 items!!

My big ticket item XD
mufe01
everyone knows i am a HUGE fan of MUFE pencils so when they put out the fullset i simply HAD to get them.
If you have not tried these pencils, you should! They are fabulous on the waterline! Doesnt run at all!~

sephora02
Even with the discount, these pencils me cost over $200usd XD But if you bought each pencil separately, you would have had to pay over $400usd so i think it was a good deal esp with the 20% off! I use the ones i have now almost everyday so i consider it a long term investment HAHA

Edit: a lotta u asked if i tried UD24/7 eyeliners before, sadly no i havent. But Fuzkittie did a big showdown post between them and MUFE pencils a while ago and i believe MUFE came out tops XD

And after darling RougeDeluxe’s praises and gorgeous EOTDs, i couldnt resist the TARTE treasure chest either
sephora03
I knew it was going to be big but wow it truly is bigger than expected!
Expect tons of EOTDs from the items above!!

And the samples i got from Sephora
sephora04
I am loving the CLEAN SOAP scent! its very nice!

As if all this wasnt enough, Miss SS mailed me some goodies as well
sephora05
2 gorgeous new lipsticks from Revlon and a pair of falsies!! <– always need those!
I dont wear a lot of lippie but i hear good things about Revlon so i am definetely going to try these out.

Thank you so much Miss SS!! i have your address now [from the box heehee] and i have put something in the mail for you! Hope you get it soon heehee Thank you so much for your help!!!!!!

I was going to post a EOTD photo using the eyeshadows from my latest MAC haul but its 3am now and i have to head to bed XD So I’ll leave you guys with a quick photo of me taken at dinner instead
photo me
Will post a proper EOTD photo in my next post
Till then , hope everyone is well!!
XOXO Yumeko

    Oooh, droolworthy FF sale!
    I didn’t get anything from it so now I’m the ONE who’s drooling over everyone’s hauls, hehe. XD

    I’ve been thinking about getting the MUFE liner…wondering how it compares to UD 24/7s? Now you have all the colors in the rainbow! ^^
    The gems on the tarte Treasure chest set look so pretty!

    Revlon lippies are quite nice. They have a BIG BIG color selection for a drugstore brand.

  2. Sofie says:

    Oh that song is quiet catchy. After hearing it once I had “Oh yeah” repeating in my head. Hehe, you have any fav members? I think Mir is quiet cute! Also Joon with his abs haha

    Such a great haul ;-; Sweden doesn’t sell MUFE at all so sadly I wont be able to try them.
    EOTDs, EOTDs, EOTDs, EOTDs!! xD
    and you are so prettyyy <3

  3. Dina (XYYan) says:

    nice haul Yumeko!
    i’m drooling over the MUFE e/l sets…

  4. Sheila says:

    Hihi~~ I’m Sheila, I was the one who emailed you before and being stupid me, said that the email wasn’t going through, lolol. You are so lucky with the Sephora FF purchase! I live in Canada and the Sephora FF doesn’t even apply to the northern neighbours of the US >___>

    Have you tried Urban Decay’s 24/7 eyeliner? I’ve heard that MUFE’s eyeliner is about the same quality as UB 24/7, and lasts about the same time. I’ve never tried MUFE, but after your rave, I think I am gonna go buy one to try =D

  5. diane says:

    omg yumeko! you bought the whole set! good for you! they look sooooo colorful! i have never tried those before, everytime i go to sephora, they are out. i’ve tried UD in zero and returned it with the quickness! haha.

  6. madeleine says:

    hi :D
    I’m following your blog since today.

    ah~ that song is now stuck in my head too @3@;;;

  7. sarah says:

    nice haullll ;) tehehe. cute dinner pic <3 i find now, even though i'm not DOING anything, i'll strike a pose and flip up my V signs hahaha!

  8. maryinwonder says:

    ooh the tarte box is mouthwatering!^^ Would love to play with it! =)
    But the MUFE stash….I dunno…..so it works for you. I only have 0L, but it runs and smears like hell. Dunno if it’s anything different with the other colors. Anyway, the colors are love…and there’s so many of them! ^.^

  9. Sefie says:

    Heyo~ It’s Sefie, a friend of Bankevair/Pia/Little Waltz… I think we actually met before in Melbourne, but I’m ashamed to say I can’t remember if we actually did or not >_<;; Anyway, she mentioned your blog to me because I've been spamming her with my own makeup hauls XD; Nice to see you (again), and I love your entries!

    • Bittenbefore says:

      i remember your name! i see it on Celeste’s blog/twitter often! i think we did meet once but it was more like we were in the same place at the same time , not that we actually met or anything hahahah

      show me ur makeup hauls!! <3

  10. Sara Mari says:

    Wow, those eye pencils look so lovely, I think 200$ is a good deal for that many colors~ ^^ I’m looking forward to all your EOTD hehe, and the treasure chest was covered with jewels? That’s so cute~!

    PS. Your manicure is lovely! ^^

  11. k* says:

    aye! your set of MUFE eyeliners are glorious!

    isn’t MBLAQ the group with the younger brothers of Dara/Sandara Park (2NE1) and Ko Eun-A?
    o.O

  12. Choky says:

    hi, i have been your follower for a little while now. love your blog. keep up the good work : D

  13. Dana says:

    Hiii! Nice haul!! We don’t have Sephora or MUFE here Australia either.. =( So nice of Miss SS for you hehe Just look at that Eye Pencil set!!! hahaha

    I wonder if I’m one of the few new followers… hehehe I just recently created my own blog.

  14. cushycottage says:

    MUFE fullset colors are so vibrant. can’t wait to see lots of EOTD with the tarte treasure chest (like the name). nice haul !!

  15. Vivi says:

    Oh gosh. I’m so jealous of your MUFE eyeliners. I so want that collection but $225 is too much for me to plant down all at once. I hope you’ll do eotd with them in the future. I want to see what the colors look like!. OMG, MBLAQ is so hot. My favorite member is Lee Joon. His chocolate abs are win. BTW, how did Taegoon’s fanmeet go?

    • Bittenbefore says:

      i think its a worthwhile investment, i use a lot of eyeliner hahaha
      yes love leejoon for his dancemoves,greatsmile and hotbody XD but Mir seems to be the one with the cute character, cant decide haha
      Taegoon, ooh i posted tat on my facebook, he’s hot hot hot too! he’s very shy i feel!

  16. nlngstar says:

    wow… your MUFE is like color pencils…. great haul!
    haha, you always keep yourself/picture so mysterious :P

  17. ldy says:

    YAY for the MUFE eyeliners they are LOVVE

  18. octavia says:

    hello Yumeko! i stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and have come back every now and then. it’s great fun reading your posts, especially the ones that include places in japan! ;D

    • Bittenbefore says:

      aww thank you! i appreciate it very much! i havent done a post on a place in japan recently, i’ll have to do one just for u soon! <3

  19. i think i’m one of your new followers ^_^
    i live in england so i find your blog very interesting… the exotic far east ;)

  20. Haru (Iris) says:

    Hey,
    You got the Tarte palette! It’s really awesome, I used it for 2 weeks straight and never got tired of it. The lip colors are a bit sticky and the blushes are average. I never use bronzer so that’s a bit wasted for me, but I just adore the eyeshadows and the mattes are great too because I never buy matte eyeshadows but I’ve been surprised at how nice these look when applied, very natural and elegant.

  21. ilyana says:

    Great haul! I bought some stuff from the Sephora FF sale as well but they’re not here yet ;_;

    I agree the MUFE eyeliner set is a great beauty investment! The eyeliners are going to last you forever lol and the color selection is wondrous! I can tell you’re going to have so much fun with your new make-up!

    Just a question – what’s your fave MUFE eyeliner color? ;D

  22. sizbelle says:

    wow you got that MUFE set… i was lemming for that one too but my makeup are usually neutral shade so i thought that the smaller set would be able to satisfy me already and by making that choice i got more budget for other stuffs… haha

    the tarte treasure chest is really pretty, maybe more FOTD or EOTD from you soon?

  23. Nikki says:

    wow, love your hauls!!!! :)

  24. Jenna says:

    WOW nice haul… Love the colors on the mufe pencil set >.<
    AHHH MBLAQ!!! LOVE THEM

    • Bittenbefore says:

      i followed ur blog back ^^ but i couldnt comment, the word verification gets cut off due to your layout T-T

  25. Babybubblz says:

    Oooh, that is one pretty set of pencil liners, reminds me of a set of art pencils!
    I noticed the Tarte set has a lot of matte shadows, how do you like using them?

  26. Mblaq… the song is stuck in my head too.. funny thing is that I can hear RAIN all over the track.. Even the dance moves remind me of him… I would love to see rain cover this song! ehehhe… Yumeko, that MUFE eyeliner set is simply wicked! It looks so darn gorgeous!!! u always have me lusting for items in ur post!!

  27. Karo says:

    WOW those eyeliners look amazing!!!!

    • Bittenbefore says:

  28. Catherine says:

  29. haerunni says:

    the pencils look like derwent pencils. so pretty <3

  30. superwoolu says:

    wow that’s awesome haul!! I think we’ll be expecting a lot of EOTD entries!!

  31. Hi Yumeko ^^ Im back in Melbie, when are you coming down? haha… I think I will give MUFE pencils a try, I’ve been trying to find an eyeliner pencil that doesnt give me panda eyes after a couple of hours @.@

  32. Mika says:

    Woohoo! I bought stuff from Sephora FF sale too :)
    I can’t believe you got that MUFE set, so amazing!! If it’s not too much trouble.. can you swatch? haha~~
    I bought some UD eye pencils and I don’t really care about the size too much since I don’t really use eyeliner every single day but they were kind of small size. It was the box with like 9 pencils or something. Anyway I like your cute little eotd sneaky post hehe :) Nihon ni ittara aitai na!

  33. Tracy says:

    WOAH! The set of eyeliner is drool worthy! And you look kawaii with that EOTD =D

  34. diana says:

    Woohoo what a nice purchase! How sweet of Miss SS. I didn’t even realize they put the full set out but I’m definitely a fan of the MUFE Aqua Eyes! Miss ya too sweetie!

  35. mayaari says:

    Miss SS is such a doll :) so sweet to order those items for you! That Aqua Eyes set looks like a fancy set of colored pencils :)

  36. oooh! Lucky you!! You got the MUFE Aqua Eyes set!! THe palette is gorgous too!

    Well done!

  37. Ohh I likey your set of MUFE pencil, great haul you’ve made dear.

  38. Iyah says:

    OMG you only got two items but you got the MOST FAB one!! MUFE liners!! WOOOHOOO!!! such a great haul!! :D and you are so pretty!! :)

  39. Kendall says:

    Hi,
    So sorry that I haven’t commented lately, I’ve been lurking…. I just moved from CT to Atlanta so I’ve been a crazy lady.
    I like the song even though I can’t understand the lyrics. I have a secret thing for BOY BANDS, lol shhhh don’t tell anyone.
    I love UD 24/7 pencils, last year I bought both gift sets so now I have all the colors :) I do love MUFE Liquid Liner, which I just got. I’ll have to try the MUFE pencils and maybe cheat on my UD one.

    XoXo

  40. BV says:

    Yumeko… god love you – I am having lemmings insane lemmings!

    I loved the MUFE pencils as well – it looks like the derwent pencils I had as as kid… I seriously wanted to get it but unfortch got other stuff as well. I got the Tarte set as well – hope it doesn’t smash to bits in the mail! I had to use a US postal service for it though!!

    Your eye makeup looks completely and utterly GORGEOUS!! Can’t wait to see your MAC EOTD!!

    Toodles!!
    BV

    • Bittenbefore says:

    • Bittenbefore says:

      Hi there! thank you for following my blog!!
      i hope u blog in english next time! cos i cannot understand italian XD

      maybe he can get you some brands like majolica majorca, KATE, VISEE and integrate. they are all popular and easy to find!

  42. Lulu says:

    omg I’m so jealous!!! i’ve been eyeing on the MUFE set too!!! but I was still not ready to get one even with the FF discount, haha…maybe in the future :p Right now I’m content with my one and only MUFE liner, which is LOVE!!! I’ll be so sad when I use it up :(

  43. evie says:

    ooh!! great haul!!…i wanna get things from the F&F sale too!..but only after i click those i wanted i found out only US cc can be used!! argh! and those sephora sprees have been closed! *stamp feet*…nvm i think there will be next year! i hope XD

    the MUFE set is huge!!..looks similar like those colour pencils that i used during preschool days =P have fun using them!!

    MBLAQ ! i nvr see this band before but their dancing is H.O.T!! (* new fangirl scream!!)
    i think the oh yeah is stuck in my head though…XD

    • Bittenbefore says:

      oh nooooooooo T-T hope u manage to get it next year
      i know urban decay is having ff sale now!

      woo did i make u a fangirl, we can fangirl on twitter together

  44. Senita says:

    Aaa MBLAQ haha not really a fan of the song…(too much o yeah for me:P) but I like their dancing! Have you seen Rain dancing it?:))

  45. queenyee says:

    hey girl, love your hauls (squeals)!!! you look gorgeous there, would like to see more of your EOTDs :)

  46. kickangel says:

    Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah yeah yeah!
    Sorry, I couldn’t resist! xD The song was stuck in my head yesterday after Inkigayo (I’ve finally managed to watch Korean channels on my laptop! Heh.)

    The MUFE pencils look like candy! I’ve heard raves about it, and the MUFE makeup artist was telling me all about it too. But my eyes look small when I use coloured pencils on my waterline, so I’ll stick to black/dark brown for now.

    • Bittenbefore says:

      wahhhh tell me how its done XD i only get 2 channels via cable in japan. mnet and kbs! XD
      i try not to use just colored pencils on my waterline
      u should use black first, then the colored one [blend it out ^^] <– color under ur eyes makes ur eyes bigger and the mufe pencils last longer than using eyeshadow. hope that helps!

      • kickangel says:

        I get only KBS and Arirang. Well, effectively only KBS cos I don’t subscribe to Arirang. At least you have Mnet! xD

        I watch the channels using TVAnts. It’s really easy to use. Just download from the link ( tvants.en.softonic.com/download), and when you start the program, search for the channel you want to watch (I think it’s not limited to Korea) and click on the first listing (or next few if the first doesn’t work) and wait for it to buffer. Usually you can start watching once the buffer hits 40%.

        IMO, it’s better than Keyhole TV (for Jap channels) cos for Keyhole, the visual tends to freeze while the audio is still playing. I watched the last episode of Mr Brain using Keyhole and nearly had a heart attack. :(

        • kickangel says:

          Oh, and thanks for the tip! I shall try it out using my (cheaper) pencils first and see if my eyes look smaller. Heh.

        • Bittenbefore says:

          ah i shall have to try TVAnts. my husband subscribes to cable tv here so he got me the korean channels [mnet is a cable channel i think?]
          i dont have any issues with japanese channels XD hehee heee just joking

          • kickangel says:

            Yumeko-san! I hope you haven’t downloaded TVAnts. I’m not sure if it’s because of the program, but my laptop crashed. I had to use System Restore and it was restored to the point before I installed TVAnts. So I’m guessing that it’s the culprit. :X

            I’m trying to find out the problem (maybe it’s not compatible with Vista) so please don’t download it yet! I shall search for other means to watch Korean channels online and let you know if I find a good (and safe) way!

  47. Soraya says:

    I also did some shopping on the Sephora Friends and Family. Now Urban Decay is having their own F&F sale. So now I am on there adding and taking things out of my cart trying to justify the insane amount of makeup I want to buy from the site. hehehehehe……

    I have both Urban Decay and MUFE liners and I have to agree that MUFE are better in durability. But I do love me some Urban Decay glitter liners. :)

    I like the color of your nails :) I bought a nail polish from Hard Candy that is similar to the one you are wearing and I am in love with it. If only my camera did not break, that would have been my NOTW for last week. :(

  48. Wish you were with us in HK too, Yumeko!

    NO, she’s ALL mine!!! :P

  49. tomomi says:

    hiiii, i’m a new follower here! i’m from Canada. I saw this blog through a friend of mine. it’s really nice! i love it. i love seeing what your hauls and your trip pictures! i blog from time to time but mine is never as exciting as yours with reviews on products~

    maybe i’ll try that in the future!

    keep it up! love it!

  50. JennXOXO says:

    Nice haul! Now I definitely want to try the MUFE eye liners. I’m a new follower and I’m loving your blog so far! :)

  51. Lanna says:

    Lovely haul! Those MUFE liner look amazing!!! As does the Tarte set!Gorgeous colours from both!! I look forward to your EOTD photos:D

    Wish I could get hold of MUFE here in the UK.

  52. wuzzyangel says:

    I agree INVESTMENT indeed! :) Especially if you are using them everyday, and you know it’s a quality product that will last! ;)

    And Miss SS (lol) was very generous indeed. Love your little EOTD pic, and I can’t wait till the next one!

  53. Lisa says:

    Wow…*drools* I’m soo going to go in debt if I got that full set. >_< But definitely a great investment!

    And I love the Revlon lipsticks! ^-^

  54. Olive says:

    OMG that MUFE set is to die for! I want one now lol…guess I’ll have to wait til x-mas for that!

  55. Jenice says:

    OMG!! You got the MUFE set!!! I was eyeing it but the hefty price stopped me from getting them…. The amount spent is enough to buy milk for my baby for 4 months!! XD sigh….still….nice to look at…. good buy though!!! ;)

  56. Mika says:

    I forgot to tell u since u requested a group pic of Scooby gang. It’s on my facebook! We are friends on fb right? I am tagged in a couple of pics with our group photo. I can’t post on my blog because some of my friends don’t want to be shown on there T_T

  57. *~kAy~* says:

    Wow! such a lovely set! :) only 2 items but very nice ones ;)
    The tarte set looks amazing! :) I can’t wait to see your looks! :)

  58. sharon says:

    hey! i’m so envious of your MUFE pencils!!
    they are just absolutely gorgeous!!

    btw.
    i love your recommendation on the korean drama “beautiful boys” or something.
    i’m hooked as well!

    haha..
    =)

  59. Monica says:
