Nothing
makes me giddy like a trip to Sephora! I can spend HOURS there (or at
least long enough for the sales associates to start giving me the "WTF,
you're still here??" look.) I
can't help it- I love looking at every little thing and testing all the
products. and playing around with stuff. It makes me ridiculously
happy...
Today,
I got Too Faced Chocolate Soleil matte bronzing powder (which has real
cocoa powder in it and smells good enough to eat) to replace the
orange-y, shimmery bronzer that I was using, which started looking muddy
and streaky on me. I found out that matte bronzers don't end up giving
you that muddy look. I also love that it's not full of silicones, waxes,
or oils that would break me out.
I
also bought Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss in "Nirvana" (why have I never
heard of this before?! It's definitely underrated), Bare Excentuals Lip
Gloss in "Sugar Cookie", Buxom Lash Mascara in "Blackest Black", Sephora
Anti-Bacterial Makeup Brush Daily Cleaner Spray, and L'Occitane Shea
Hand Cream.
Sephora Haul! (Sorry about the crappy phone pic...) |
I
love all the goodies I bought but my favorite is the Stila lip gloss-
it's more of a liquid lipstick than a lip gloss because it's SUPER
pigmented and it's full-coverage like a lipstick but shiny like a gloss.
It's perfect for a lipstick-devotee like me- I just wish it came in
more shades! The "Nirvana" color that I got is a perfect pinkish nude
(my favorite lip color) but I wish they had a peach or coral color as
well.
Buxom
Lash Mascara is awesome- it really makes my lashes look darker,
thicker, longer, and faker (but in a good way). I tried it over my
L'Oreal Telescopic mascara and it didn't clump at all- it just looked
like I've been using Latisse =)
Next
trip, I plan on getting Lorac Evening Out compact, Make Up For Ever
Lifting Concealer, a new angled blush brush, Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss
in "Happiness", and Lancome Teint Miracle foundation in Bisque 7.
Got my retail therapy in for the weekend- now I can make it through the week... =)
