Hi guys! So sorry it’s been almost a month since I’ve blogged. I had my sisters wedding two weeks ago so there was a lot of last minute running around with that and I was on/off sick last week- tis the season I guess ;/ I’m back now!
Anyway, this weekend I managed to escape all of the craziness from this past month and head over to the mall to pick-up a few things from the greatest place in the world…Sephora!!! Just wanted to share what I picked up this time. As usual, I walked in there with a need for one thing and ended up with more than just one item LOL. I always get suckered in at that store but this is a judge-free zone and we all love makeup!
1. Make Up Forever Ultra HD Foundation ($43.00)- One of my oldies but goodies. This is my go-to foundation. For a little while I was testing out new foundations and so far none of them compare to this one. The #1 reason I always get this foundation is because the color range is great for matching different skin tones. My skin tone changes drastically from summer to winter and no other foundations match me without having to mix two different ones. Also, my skin tends to get a little drier in the winter and this foundation stays matte without over-drying. For reference, I got mine in the color, Golden Beige (R410).
2. Too Faced Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Lipstick ($21.00)- I have been dying to try this lipstick! I love everything from Too Faced because all of their items smell delicious and I’ve been wanting to check out their lip products. I also love the fact it has a matte finish- I love wearing mattes especially in the fall & winter months. I got mine in the color, Doll Face and OMG all I can say is that this might be my new favorite nude lipstick. It’s so creamy and not too drying on the lips but gives the perfect shade of matte nude- I just can’t say enough good things about it. The packaging is also super adorable and unique.
3. Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer ($31.00)- This is another repurchase of mine. Again, I have been trying to research new primers to use but this one might be current fave. I was trying out the Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer but I wasn’t too crazy about it. The Benefit one is much better at concealing large pores and giving your foundation a nice, smooth canvas to apply on.
4. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream ($30.00)- As I’ve previously mentioned, my intentions of going into Sephora this trip was for one thing and that was a new moisturizer. I’ve heard great things about First Aid Beauty but have never tried their moisturizer. I’ve been using the Bliss Fabulous Drench N Quench Moisturizer and unfortunately, I realized that it was making me break out. I don’t normally have sensitive skin but I’ve been on the hunt for a daily moisturizer that works really well and doesn’t make my skin react poorly. I’m really excited to try this one out. I’ll keep you posted on how it works out for me.
5. Murad Brightening effects Beauty Insider Reward (500 Points)- Last but not least! What is more fun than getting to the register and being offered a free gift just for being a member at Sephora? Well I’ve been saving my VIB points and finally decided to cash in on this beautiful little set. It’s the Murad Brightening Effects collection. It comes with sample sizes of the Murad Essential-C Cleanser, Rapid Resurfacing Peel, City Skin Overnight Detox Moisturizer, Eye Lift Firming™ Treatment & Pads. I got a facial a few weeks ago from Massage Envy and they used all Murad products on me and I absolutely LOVED the way they made my skin look and feel. I’m excited to try additional products from their collection and see what all the hype is about. I really want to start getting into a better skincare regimen and I think this collection is the perfect way to start!
That concludes my little Sephora haul. I’ll definitely keep you guys posted on any new products I bought to see if they’re worth repurchasing. In the meantime, I hope you guys have a wonderful week ahead and I’ll talk to you soon! Xo
