Hi again lovelies!!
Somehow this post was lost in the depths of my computer til recently so apologize for that. Be that as it may some time many moons ago Sephora was offering
quadruple points on VIB Rouge purchases (of which I am a member because I spend entirely too
much money there and am well on my way for continuing Rouge status through the
end of 2015), so I obviously picked up a few things I'd been wanting and a
couple things I actually needed. Let's get into it!
The first thing I needed to pick
up was a full size of the Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish because it is
Jesus in a damn facial scrub. The little scrubbers are fine, but not too fine
so it really makes your skin feel like the best butt you have ever felt in your
life...to quote Victoria from victoriadonelda on YouTube said (basically my
favorite person on all of the YouTubes), it makes your face feel like Beyonce's
butt. So obviously when I finished a deluxe sample, I needed the big one!

The next item I actually needed
was a new brush head for my Clarisonic so I picked it up because I had heard
that the Cashmere Cleanse brush head is the best one and once you use it you
never want to go back to the regular ones. I haven't used it yet, but it is so
soft. SO. SOFT. Girl, seriously go run to Sephora and feel this damn brush
head. Please...you'll love it and your fingers will thank you. You're welcome.

I also decided that this was the
time to get the Sephora Collection Pro Airbrush Concealer Brush #57 which I've
been wanting for probably a year, mainly because Victoria (again, from victoriadonelda on YouTube, I seriously love her and trust her opinions to a fault) put in one of her
videos and she could convince me to buy anything that she recommend so in the
cart it went. I really trust her and think that she has her shit together when
it comes to makeup, skincare, and beauty tools. I'm super excited to use it
when I do my makeup next because it is legit one of the softest brushes my
fingers/face has ever experienced. Just saying.

While I was shopping for the
items I needed I saw that Sephora had smaller 2 oz. sizes of the Lea Journo Hydra-Riche Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner so I scooped those up to try
because yet again Victoria and her best friend Jillian (I trust their opinions
a whole lot) both said they were amazing and worked well with both of their
hair types. I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of the scent of either product,
but if they work amazing I'll definitely look past the smell. The packaging is
freaking genius though and I'm totally looking forward to using these two
babies!

Then I was just, you know,
#feelingspendy (thanks for that Amelia from amelialiana on YouTube) so I went
through the sale section looking for items I "needed" and I found a
few products. I saw that the Sephora Collection Ultimate Brightening Serum was
reduced down to $15.00 from $30.00 so I thought that was a decent price to
break into the dark spot correcting world and the reviews were pretty good as
well. Hopefully, it will reduce the appearance of my acne scarring and even my
overall skin tone because that's the goal y'all!

While I was in the sale section I also found that the Sephora Collection had a couple super cute designs of nail wraps and I've never tried them before so I thought I'd pick one up because they were only $5.00 and I love nail polish/nail art so much I thought it'd
be worth it. The wraps I selected are a leopard design over a metallic gold base. Pretty much
right up my alley and I'm PUMPED to try them out! If I like the application and
wear of nail wraps I'm thinking of trying out Incoco nail wraps because
I've heard really good things about that particular brand, so I can't wait.

I also picked up the Sephora
Collection Colorful Dual Antibacterial Sharpener in pink whilst poking about
the sale section because it was the cutest little sharpener I had seen and it
was $3.00 so it helped me get to the minimum $25.00 purchase I needed because I had a
code for a free Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black and Nirvana White sample set.

The next thing I picked up was a
baby size of the Josie Maran Argan Infinity Intensive Creamy Oil to try out
because I really want to have one in my purse during winter for when my hands
and elbows are the driest. The little size is $10.00 for 0.5 oz of product and
the full size is $28.00 for 2.2 oz of product, so I’m thinking that even though
the mini is adorable it’s a waaaay better deal to purchase the full size. Oh
well, I’m still going to try it before I commit to the larger size. It has a
nice fresh scent that reminds me of the soap my dad uses to clean his hands
after he’s worked on a car. I think it’s called GOJO, it totally reminds me of
my childhood. I may keep this for that fact alone and it does seem really
moisturizing.

The last thing I picked up was
the Tarte Rainforest After Dark Eye and Cheek palette. It’s beautiful and
really handy for travelling or if you’re feeling lazy making decisions about
what makeup to use because it has a highlighter, bronzer, a little LARGER than
full size blush and 6 eyeshadows half of which are matte which I really
appreciate. This damn palette is one of the most gorgeous eye/face palettes
I’ve seen since the Smashbox Heatwave that came out last year, which I also
picked up (I swear I have no self-control!). I think the palette has awesome
pigmentation while still being able to blend easily and I’ve had very little to
no fallout.
