March 2017 Ipsy Bag Review

I just got my Ipsy bag for this month so I decided to do a little review.  The first thing I got was a first aid beauty face moisturizer which I’m really excited to try because I have crazy dry skin.  Then I got OUAI hair mask which I actually got in my sephora play box last month, but I haven’t used it yet even though I probably need too because my hair is bleached.  Then I got a Pur cosmetics concealer in medium, but its a little too dark for my skin so I’m not sure how much use I’ll get out of it.  I got a Tarte lip paint in delish, I love this formula because it drys really quickly and doesn’t move around at all.  And the most exciting thing for me is the INT cosmetics eyeshadow in goddess gold, it is so pretty.  It is a coppery shimmer shadow and I can’t wait to try it out.

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review

Before I get into the review I’m gonna tell you a little story.  A couple of days ago I left my house in the morning after doing my makeup to go to the Sharks game with my sister.  I couldn’t help but feel like something was missing, but I shook it off and we left.  We went to eat and I decided to use the bathroom before the game.  While I was waiting for someone to open the door (because it had a handle and there were no paper towels to open it with) I finally realized what was missing, I forgot to put on mascara! Luckily there was a Sephora next to the restaurant so we zipped in and I picked up a mini of urban decay’s perversion mascara for just $10.

Review: I’ve been wanting to try this mascara, but I get so many  mascara samples from beauty boxes and free samples that I’ve never had any need until this moment.  I really like it, it curls, lengthens, and defines my lashes all in one step.  Over all a really nice and sleek product and the size and shape of the packaging is perfect for when you’re on the go.  I’ll be keeping this in my purse just in case I forget it again (which probably won’t happen, but you never know).

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil Review

Ok so I know I haven’t posted in forever, but I’ve been so busy lately. I’m back now though and I’m here to stay. So I recently purchased this Clarins lip oil at Sephora after hearing great reviews and it is amazing. The application is so soft and it has the consistency of maple syrup. It smells great and it feels amazing on my lips. You do have to let it sit for a few hours for it to really sink in so I usually apply it after I eat. It is honestly so great though, after the first use my lips felt more moisturized than they have in a long time and my lips get supper chapped. I have this one in the color honey and I think it comes in two other shades with different hues, this one just looks glossy when you put it on. Anyway thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed.

Sephora Rewards

I recently redeemed a reward at Sephora, buxom sexy little things for 500 points.  I  don’t have much experience with this brand so I decided this was the perfect opportunity to test it out. 

First Impressions: I love the packaging of all the individual products, it’s all so pretty. It comes with four sample products: a mascara, a liquid lipstick, a lip gloss, and an eye shadow.

The mascara looks really good and I’m so excited to use it. I love the applicator, I definitely prefer a denser brush for my eyelashes.

The lipstick and lip gloss are both very pretty as well. Although the lipstick didn’t seem to dry and came off very easily when I swatched them, I’ll definitely have to try it on my lips to see if it stays on better.

And last, but not least the eyeshadow. This was definitely what I was most excited about because of how much I love eyeshadows. The color is so pretty and I’m very excited to try it.

Lipstick Review: Buxom Wildly Whipped Lightweight Liquid Lipstick in Instigator

In my last post I gave my first impressions on the 500 point buxom set from Sephora. So far I’ve been loving it, the lipstick shade looks so good on my skin tone. On top of that it feels very light and doesn’t dry my lips out at all. It’s not as long-lasting as some of the other liquid lipsticks I own, but it doesn’t flake like some do.  Overall I think It’s a great product and I plan to try some new shades in the near future.

Sephora Haul

I recently went to Sephora and, as always, bought way more makeup than I meant to.  Oops.  On the bright side I love everything I got and I’m very happy with my purchase. 

I’ve been wanting to try Urban Decay’s all nighter foundation for a while, I just never got around to it until now.  I really like the coverage it gives, and you can cover your face with only one pump of product.  I also love the packaging even though that’s not really relevent to the foundation itself, I think it looks cool on my vanity.  Overall I’m very impressed with this product and it definitely lives up to the hype.

I picked up Kat Von D’s everlasting liquid lipstick in Project Chimp (a sort of burnt red color), I bought this not only because I love the color, but also because it benefits chimpanzees.  I love the formula of this lipstick, it lasts long and it’s very pigmented.  I also feel like the color is very easy to wear, unlike other red lipsticks that can be a little bit daunting to put on in the morning.

Sticking to the lipstick theme, I also got a make up for ever lipstick in midnight blue.  I haven’t worn this one yet, but I loved the color and formula when I swatched it in Sephora and I’m really excited to try it.

My beauty blender has been looking a little bit worse for wear lately, so I decided to get a new one.  I love beauty blenders and would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a new makeup tool.

As always, I fell into the trap of tester products when I was waiting in line.  I got two mini eyeshadow palettes; tartlette tease and smashbox full exposure.  Both palettes have an excellent selection of neutral colors and great pigmentation.

I hope you enjoyed that little haul.  Everything listed above can be found at Sephora.
