Welcome back, beauties!!
I've been so, so, SO busy these last couple of days, but I made certain that I squeezed in this post, especially since I was able to squeeeeeeeeze in some shopping!
So today's post is a little Sephora haul that I did over the weekend. I'm really excited because everything in this haul is a new product to me! They're all beauty products I've never tried before! WEE!
Don't you just love seeing that black,white, and red? It warms my heart, haha.
My advice to you: NEVER go into Sephora in the middle of a weekday. They're not busy. They will latch on to you. They will convince you to purchase everything you look at. So, as you can see by the two medium-sized bags, I totally made friends with one of the lovely gals that works in my local Sephora, and she helped me do some damage.
Everything I purchased was on my "Loves" list on Sephora.com, so I have been eyeing these products for a while, she just convinced me to get them all... at the same time. GIRL!
It may not look like much, but my wallet sure thought it was enough, thank you very much!
So, first up, I happily purchased the Josie Maran Creamy Concealer Crayon in shades Light 1 and Medium 2.
Left: Light 1 / Right: Medium 2
I purchased this concealer crayon because I've heard many good things about it. The concealer is perfect for covering up dark under eyes, and any blemishes and dark spots on your face. It's so creamy, and so smooth. It glides on your skin like butter. Because the crayon, along with all Josie Maran products, is infused with pure Argan Oil, it's so hydrating and nourishing.
I originally purchased the concealer crayon in Light 1 just for concealing my under eyes, but I actually went back the next day and picked up Medium 2, due to the new "Contour Like Josie Cat" campaign the brand just introduced. Contouring is hugely popular, and cream contouring is becoming a new fav among beauty lovers. Just purchase your usual light shade for your concealing and highlighting, and then purchase a shade one or two shades darker than your skin for your contour. I've been doing powder contouring, but I thought I'd give cream contour a try, and at $20.00 a concealer crayon, Josie Maran Argan Concealer Crayons are a much more reasonable price then other cream contour kits and products. I haven't tried cream contouring with these crayons yet, but I do have full intentions on doing a blog review/tutorial of it!
Next up, I finally purchased the Too Faced Hangover RX Replenishing Face Primer!
Check out those results on the back of the box!
I've been wanting to purchase this primer for such a long time, but always held off due to the price. I've heard SO many amazing things about this primer from some of my favorite beauty vloggers, so I've been itching to get my hands on it. The amazing thing about this primer is that it is a primer and moisturizer in one! You don't need to use any moisturizer before you start doing your makeup. This primer takes care of moisturizing and hydrating your skin for you! A two in one! This primer is infused with Coconut Water, hence, the moisturizing feature, and Electrolytes and Probiotics. So the bottom line is... this primer is VERY good for your skin! This runs for $30.00 for a 1.35oz bottle at Sephora. When it comes to primers, a little goes a long way, and the fact that this primer also moisturizes, it's a great investment.
Next, we got the ever popular Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel.
I love, love, love my Anastasia Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel in the shade Espresso. I use it every day to set my brows. But the shade Espresso makes my brows a little more intense just because they're darker. I wanted to give the clear brow gel a try for days when I'm feeling a bit of a more natural brow, but still want the brow hairs to be set in place. If you've never tried Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel, and you're someone who does there brows... or even if you don't, you need this product! It perfectly sets your brows in place so the hairs don't fall or move throughout the day. This product runs for $22.00 at Sephora.
A while ago, I made a post about the Sephora Favorites Perfume Sampler gift set that was available during the holidays. You can read that post by clicking HERE: Sephora Perfume Sampler !!
The gift set included a voucher for a free FULL SIZED bottle of any one of the perfumes in the sample set. After much deliberation, I finally chose to redeem my voucher and get... Marc Jacobs Daisy!!
This bottle is just the cutest thing ever!
This perfume is such a perfect scent from the upcoming Spring and Summer months. It's very light and feminine, sophisticated, and playful. It has notes of Wild Strawberries, Violet Leaves, and Ruby Red Grapefruit. I am amused that there are no Daisy notes in the scent, haha. But it's amazing!! Like I said, it was free with my Sampler Set Voucher, but it runs for $74.00 for a 1.7 fl oz bottle at Sephora.
Finally, I redeemed a sample of Philosophy's No Reason To Hide Imperfection Transforming Serum for 100 points. I didn't post an individual picture or go into details because it's just a small sample and I haven't tried it yet. But it's basically said to brighten, smooth, and even out your skin tone to give your a beautiful appearance and glow without actually wearing makeup. I'll get back to you all on how I like it and if I plan to purchase a full size!
