Backup Vacation Makeup Bag Haul

So I made my list, checked it twice, and still forgot my makeup bag 😒. Note to self: don’t use the makeup you intend to travel with for travel day! I didn’t realize I had forgotten my makeup bag until we were landing. I tried to mask my frustration by exclaiming that we were going shopping when we landed. I…

New Year, New Stuff! What’s In My Sephora Cart?

New year, new stuff! I’ve got a gigantic Sephora cart I need to sort out. I’ve been eyeing quite a few products in the past couple of months; some that go back and forth between my cart and wish list. But if there’s one thing that’s certain, everything always makes it to my door, in the end! Here are a…

Buy the Sephora Watermelon After Sun Mask – Your Skin Will Thank You!

I am guilty of turning my nose up at non-Asian-branded sheet masks but listen, I have come around! The Sephora Watermelon After-Sun Mask is actually one of my favorite masks and I have repurchased it many times. It’s a mask that I wish was sold by the box! It’s a bio-cellulose mask that comes in two pieces: a mask for your…

Stellar Cosmic Face Setting Powder, Becca Highlighter in Opal, Milk Makeup Blur …

I don’t always indulge in Sephora Favorites Kits but the Selfie Kit seemed so practical to me, I just had to try it out. Plus, I could already speak for the wonderfulness that is the Tarte Double Duty Eyeliner. The problem? This is a kit that sells out almost as soon as Sephora releases it! Hopefully, this review of the…

Sephora’s Best Kept Secret Exposed! | Sephora Blush Me Cream Blush

The amount of time it took me to check out with this blush is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous after I used it. The Sephora Blush Me cream blush is one of the most versatile beauty products I have ever used. I’ve used this on my cheeks, eyes, and lips and it’s freaking beautiful. I picked up the shade Out of…

Take Advantage of This Sephora Sale: Some Good Items at 50% Off!

I feel like it’s not very often that makeup and beauty products go on sale unless there is some sort of friends and family or holiday promotion going on. Well, Sephora has had some goodies on sale for quite a while that may have flown under your radar, with all the new beauty eye candy we get every month.

What’s in My Sephora Cart? Preparing for the Spring VIB Sale

It’s almost that time of year again, where Sephora has its spring Beauty Insider sale. I must say, 15% off isn’t really that much, but somehow I am always lured in by this discount. For Rouge, the sale starts Friday, April 13th (Friday the 13th!) and that’s probably when I’ll be doing my hauling. It goes until April 16th and…

Here’s What You Get After Spending $1000 at Sephora

A brush. Wait. Let me be more precise. A mini Sephora Collection Pro Flawless Airbrush #56. I suppose I should be grateful; most retailers don’t give you a damn thing after spending a ton of money in their store. So thanks, Sephora. I can’t lie, I wish Sephora would give away a full-size product. I know some folks are really…

Review: Sephora Bright Future Radiant Luminizer Cognac

Review: Sephora Bright Future Radiant Luminizer Cognac

I’ve had pretty good success with the Sephora Collection Bright Future line. In fact, I loved their gel concealer and their color corrector wasn’t so bad either. When I saw they were offering a new luminizer, I just had to take a chance on it. The luminizer is offered in three shades, Champagne, Rosé, and Cognac and is $14.00. Playing…

Sephora Lipstories Lipsticks Reviewed

So I have had a chance to properly test the Sephora Lipstories lipstick I posted swatches of a couple weeks ago. What I was mainly focused on was the whole “an $8 lipstick that feels like a million bucks” claim. I have always said that the Sephora Collection in general was underrated and these lipsticks are no exception. As a…

Preview: Sephora Collection #LipStories Lipstick

Sephora has released a huge, new collection of new lipsticks called #lipstories! I, of course, fell for the marketing, and ordered three shades, one in each of the available finishes: Matte, Creamy, and Metallic. These are $8.00 a pop and I ended up ordering these sight unseen because these aren’t in stores yet. I made out with Yum Yum, Hong…
