Sephora Chic Week for V.I.B.'s 15%

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to share with you all what I got from Sephora yesterday!! I was soooo excited to shop, I waited all day in anticipation and I actually didnt spend as much as I thought I would and I think I only got 3 of the things that were originally on my list =) Here it is!

(from left to right)

Jack Black Lip Therapy SPF 25 in Lemon and Chamomile $7.50

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Brunette $22

Too Faced Shadow Insurance $18

Boscia Luminizing Black Mask $34

Sephora Brush Cleansing Wipes $9

Sephora Tote Bag (in the back)

A Review in Short

Love how the Jack Black Lip Therapy in Lemon and Chamomile smells! I like that it has SPF in it and it doesnt feel greasy at all, it looks more like a gel. I wore it under my e.l.f mineral lipstick and it kept my lips moist throughout the night!

The Anastasia Brow Powder Duo I think is awesome! I tried it last night because I was so excited and its the perfect color for me, I have dark brown hair, so I use the darker color to fill in my arch and outer ends and then go in with the lighter shade to fill in the inner brow.

The Too Faced Shadow Insurance I got on a whim because I really love Urban Decays Primer Potion but I wanted to try something different. I used the Shadow Insurance with loose pigment and it made my shadow go on a lot smoother, brightened the colors and didnt crease!

Ive already tried the Boscia mask and I really really like it!! It really does make your face look more luminous and feeling really fresh and clean. But, there is a but, it does sting a bit when you peel it off, almost like a band-aid, so for some people it could be painful.

Havent tried the Sephora Brush Cleansing Wipes yet, but I will let you know how they are. For $9 I figure.. what the heck, why not try it. *Updated* Ok, so I just tried these out and they suck! They dont clean my brushes, at all, and they dry out so fast its almost pointless.. oh wells.. you win some, you lose some..

Soooo... I am very very happy with what I decided to purchase (besides the Sephora Brush Cleansing Wipes) and Im so glad I didnt go over board! I had to really stop myself, trust me! lol

Do you have any great beauty buys recently? I would love to hear about them!

Wanted Wednesday's Beauty List: April 6, 2011

I guess this is sort of like a wishlist, but I like to call it my 'Wanted' List, because they are things that I really really want, or have wanted for some time now, that I just havent been able to get or they havent been released yet. Every week my 'Wanted' list changes because I either lost interest, something better came out, or its not available anymore. So, I think from now on, I am going to call this 'Wanted Wednesdays!' where every Wednesday I will posted a 'Wanted' list of some things I am keeping my eye on for the week =) I know.. middle of the week, but it wouldnt have rhymed with 'Wanted Mondays'...

Urban Decay 'Rollergirl' Nail Kit $28

Smashbox 'Limitless Beauty Kit' $39 and Softbox Lipgloss Collection $29

EvePearl 'Magic Salmon Concealer Trio' $50

MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil 'So There Jade' $14.50

Whats on your 'Wanted' list this week?

February Beauty Wishlist

I mentioned in my last blog post a few tips when shopping for beauty products, so I decided I would post up my own personal shopping list for the month of February. Hopefully I can save enough money to buy all of these, but if not, I can always buy it another month!

NEEDS

I only have a couple of need items this month because there is one big purchase! Hopefully worth the money and hopefully it will last me a long time! I need a rolling case now since its been getting too ridiculous carrying around 3 different bags and cases for all my hair and makeup products. Need black bobby pins for a wedding I am assisting with since I ran out of black!

• Rolling Train Case in Zebra Print - $200 from Yazmo.com
• Black Bobby Pins

WANTS

I realized I dont have too many hair products which I am in desperate need of because I havent had time to cut my hair for a long long time and its starting to look and feel damaged. My hair has also started to look limp and dull so I really need a good hair mask and spray that will give me some body!

Haircare:

• Origins Rich Rewards $18.50 Macys or Origins Store
• Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray $25.99 Macys Salon
• Moroccan Oil Treatment $23.95 Nordstrom Rack or Beauty Supply Stores

Makeup:

Waterproof those eyes!

• MUFE Eye seal
• Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners 15 Year Anniversary $92 currently not in stock at Sephora =(

Try

I have sensitive skin so I still havent found the right balance for my moisturizer and face wash.. Also need to find a new foundation since I got lighter from the last time I bought foundation.. ugh.. I should also put on my list that I need a suntan!

• Origins Vitazing Moisturizer
• Origins Checks and Balances Face Wash
• NYX HD Foundation
