So yesterday I shared the drugstore beauty items I bought in America and today its Sephora's turn!
Sephora is like Disneyland to me, I come out like a little child all excited and sweaty with my hands covered in different coloured lipsticks!
I'm slowly working my way through everything so I'll be sure to include these products in future posts.
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream - This was on my list to get as it comes highly recommended by the skincare guru that is Caroline Hirons. I really struggle to find a moisturiser I like, I have combination skin so don't like anything too heavy and I hate that greasy feeling on my face. I think I have finally found the one with Kate's Goat Milk Cream! Its so light, doesn't feel greasy and sinks in really quick. Perfect for me.
Kate Somerville Exfolikate - Sephora really pull you in by having all their mini's by the till. This was a last minute throw in the basket. Such impulse buying doesn't always turn out well but I love this stuff. Its essentially a super strong exfoliator which tingles when you apply it. I was a bit surprised when I opened it and saw it was green but I love how clean it makes my skin feel. When I go back to America I will definitely explore more of Kate's range as these 2 products have really impressed me.
Josie Maran Light Argan Oil - Another item which I had on my list before I left. You can use this oil anywhere you like, your hair, face, skin, nails, anywhere! I picked up the light version as I mainly wanted to use this on my face and I thought the original version may be too heavy. So far I have used it in my hair and on my face. You only need a tiny bit of this stuff and personally I would only apply this on my face at night. When I woke up the next morning my skin felt so soft and nourished.
Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil and GlamGow Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask - These were actually 2 samples I was given. I haven't tried the Tarte oil yet but I tried the Glamglow mask on Sunday night and wow. Without a doubt the best face mask I have every used. It dries to a really hard clay on your face but when you remove it with a wet cloth you see an immediate difference in your skin. My skin looked so clear and fresh, it really was visible. I think Ive got one more use out of this little tube and then I'm going to have to seriously think about investing!
Boyfriend by Kate Walsh Rollerball Perfume - You cannot go to Sephora without buying a rollerball perfume! Boyfriend is, as you would expect a more masculine scent but I love those kind of scents for the Autumn/Winter. If you like Tom Ford Black Orchid/Bvlgari Jasmin Noir then you will probably like this as well.
Sephora Disney Collection Ariel Mirror - I might be turning 27 this month but I still love The Little Mermaid!
Living Proof Prime Style Extender - You can get Living Proof in the UK but I have never really paid much attention to it. However in the US Jennifer Aniston is their spokeswoman and Jen can sell me anything and I'll buy it, I love her! This was another random, chuck a mini in at the till moment and like my Exfolikate this actually turned out to be one of my favourite things I got. This is a primer for your hair, weird concept I know! You apply a blob through the lengths and ends of towel dried hair and then do whatever you normally do with your hair. I always leave my hair to dry naturally but I found with this my hair looked so much better, with more style and shape than usual. I cant really comment on whether it made my style last longer, as I was washing my hair everyday but I used this everyday and went back to get another mini bottle, so that should tell you something!
Sephora Ribbon Hair Ties - I love these hair ties, they don't pull or snag your hair and they also don't leave a horrible mark if you have one round your wrist. I was worried that they wouldn't hold my long hair but they work brilliantly.
Now onto the makeup! Now I have to say looking at it like this I think I was pretty restrained!
Dior Airflash CC Primer - This came out while we were there and was exclusive to Sephora so peaked my interest. I have got a face of the day post coming up with this so I will save my thoughts for then!
Kat Von D Everlasting Face Shaper Blush in "Por Vida" - I have never seen these Kat Von D blushes before so think they must be new and they are really beautiful. The packaging is really sweet and they come in a little pink box. The blush itself is really pigmented and the colour range is fabulous. To testify to that, me and my friends each bought a different shade!
Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in "Electric Pink Matte" - My friend actually pointed these lipsticks out to me and I'm so glad she did. I am obsessed with matte lipsticks, I just love how they look and this colour is amazing. I like that its not too blue toned, so its very wearable. I had never heard much about Smashbox's lipsticks before but they are definitely work checking out.
Hourglass Lipstick in "Fresco" - Inspired by LisaLisaD1 on YouTube and Diana from Adventures of Barbarella. This is my kind of "nude" lipstick, simply beautiful.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blusher in "Natural Beauty" - I cant believe I only bought one thing from Tarte but the few other items I wanted were always sold out! I knew I wanted to try one of their infamous Amazonian clay blushers. Natural Beauty is my perfect blush colour for that red flush I love.
NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base - Not a new product to me but my favourite eye shadow primer actually ran out while I was away so of course I had to buy another one.
Jouer Sunswept Mattifying Powder Bronzer - I love this bronzer so much that I now have a massive hole in my one, so I decided it was time to buy a back up. I actually bought this in Nordstrom which seemed to be the only place I could find Jouer. If you are interested I have done a full review previously here
Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer in "Fair" - Bit of a random purchase but as Hourglass was cheaper in the US I thought it would be a good a time as any to try this concealer. I have only used this once but I wasn't exactly blown away by it. I'll do a more thorough review once I have used it more.
And that is everything! Now all I need to is plan my next annual Sephora trip!
