Sephora Haul ;)

Hey Beauties,

I recently went to Sephora and picked a few things I've been wanting try. I still haven't tested them all out yet so I will be doing a review later on so look out for that post.

I wanted to try the Benefit tanning lotion but as the beauty junkie I am I ended up adding other products to my bag, I think I spent half an hour there looking at all the products seeing what's new and what's on sale. I don't know about you ladies but I could spend all day in there if I could lol

So as I said I went into Sephora to buy the Benefit Hoola Tanning Lotion as well as some other products that have been on my "Love list". I wanted to try these two products for my hair but unfortunately they were only available online. As the beauty junkie I am I had to add a few more items to my bag but they were on my list to buy in the future.

I've added pictures of all the items I bought except for the ones I bought online because I haven't received them yet.

Benefit Cosmetics: Hoola Zero Tanlines Body Bronzer


This is the main reason why I went to Sephora because I heard soo many good reviews about it and I love there Hoola Bronzer. The packaging is what caught my attention, its something that I wanted displayed on my vanity.
 I know I'm probably late to try it but I've been using two self-tanners which I've been loving but I wanted to try an instant bronzer. I've been loving the "Loving Tan" which is best-seller but it takes a while for it to work. These products are obviously different because one is a self-tanner and and the other is a instant bronzer but both give a glowing effect. From what I read if you love the Hoola bronzer you will definitely love this one.

I will definitely have to try and do a review on it as well a comparison to my other two self-tanners.

Tarte: Drink of H20 Hydrating Boost

I got a deluxe sample of the Tarte kit which this was included. I found it worked so well with my skin I didn't breakout or had any bad reaction to it. I tend to have combination skin but more dry in the winter so this definitely will help. It's very lightweight and feels so nice on the skin, it has like a cooling sensation. I use it as a primer right before I apply my makeup and I find it makes my foundation go on more smoother. I also like that I don't get any flaky patches around my nose area. 
I was debating if to buy it because it was C$47, I know there's much cheaper alternatives but I was there, it worked well on my skin and it looked cute just sitting on the shelf so I had to buy it. 

Urban Decay Lipner in Rush

This has been on my "Love List" for a long time but I was hesitating because of the price but I finally bought it. I don't own many liners because I'm not a huge liner fan I'm just getting into it now. All my liners are from the drugstore so this is my first brand lip liner.

I have two Urban Decay lipsticks "Naked" and "Native" which will pair very well. The liner is in "Rush" it's a pink/mauve and its C$24. I also purchased "Native" a pale pink but that was part of my online order. I tested it on my hand and just like their eye liners they glide soo smoothly, you don't even have to put much pressure.  


Caudalie Face Kit (Beauty Insider 500 Gift)

I had 1,600 points so I decided to use them finally they never have any good gifts so I keep accumulating my points. I wanted something for 250 but they ran out of some the items so I decided to get this one for 500 points. The kit included face products and right now I'm testing out different face products so it was perfect.


The kit includes 4 items and which order to do them if you want a beauty routine.
Step 1 Detox Mask
Step 2 Cleansing 
Step 3 Treat
Step 4 Moisturize

Detox Mask

Apply a thin layer on dry skin and leave on for 10 min and then rinse.

Miscellar Cleansing Water

Use to remove makeup and cleanse face and you don't need to rinse. 

Beauty Elixir

A spray that you can use on your face, neck and body. They suggest to use before applying your makeup and in between  your foundation and powder to set perfectly. 

Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet  

Apply this morning and night on a clean cleansed face.

Other Products

I did some re-purchases that I needed such as Makeup Forever Foundation (Y255) and Ciate mini nail polish in "Amazing Gracie".


Online Order

I wanted a shampoo for dry damaged hair but also to have natural ingredients. I found one from "Earth's Nectar" unfortunately the only way I could purchase it was online. It's made with Mint Leaves and Tea Tree which is great for dry hair and it was organic. I can't wait to receive it to try it out and do a review on it.

I also purchased the "Urban Decay Lip liner" in Native because I wanted to pair it with the lipstick I have. The last thing I purchased was the "Ciate" nail polish from the Olivia Palermo in Sundays. I've been wanting this color for a long time because it's such a pretty pale pink that you can wear everyday. 

When I get my order in the mail I will do an update as well as a review on most of the products and let you guys know if they are worth buying or not. 

Until next time
Kisses


Lip Favorites

Hey Beauties,

Happy Weekend! Hope everyone is enjoyed their week, it's finally the weekend :) Ever since the season has changed and its become hot I haven't been in the mood to do a full face of makeup. Instead of using a heavy foundation I've switched it up and been using BB Creams. I find its much lighter on the face and my face can still breathe. To finish my simple look I add a bit of bronzer, eyeliner, mascara and a bit of lipstick and occasionally blush.

When it comes to lips I like the natural look and I've fell in love with the Annabelle Lipliner in Buff. I was never the type to use lip liners but I was in the mood of trying new products and I decided to pick this up. I've tried her eyeliners and I really enjoy them, they glide on soo smoothly and they are really pigmented.


The colors I go for are more nude/pink and this is the perfect combination but has more of brown undertones. Just like the eyeliners it glides on your lips perfectly. I'm someone with small lips and this gives the illusion of fuller and plumped lips which is what I need. Even though its not waterproof it does last all day you may have to re-touch it once but I never had to.

I like to not only line my lips with it but fill in my lips as well it helps give my lips some color. Sometimes I just wear the lip liner as is and don't add anything on top and other times I use either a lipstick or lip gloss. I have 7 different combinations that I like to switch up from time to time which I will list below as well give you some options if you decide to try this liner. I have a few drugstore products as well as brand name ones.
