I went to Sephora because I went tanning while I was in Ohio.. I know, I know! It's not good for you! I just went to even out my horrible tan lines I had on my legs and from many summer days with different strappy dresses and tank tops! lol Anyways, I went because my Bare Escentuals bareMinerals foundation was way too white for me all the sudden. So I took a trip to the local Sephora when I got home in need of finding my right shade again! Who better than the ladies at the Sephora in the mall! As always they were helpful and found I'm not golden fair anymore, I'm medium beige (matte formula for my oily skin). lol As you probably know, I couldn't leave the store with just that so I looked around and this is what I got PLUS the face makeup not pictured. Totally forgot to add it! lol
Left to Right:
Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen in Jet Black (waterproof formula)
Murad Get Clear Live Clear Acne Complex Starter Kit (one month supply)
Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover
So the Smashbox Liquid Liner Pen -- This was the last pick up of the day. lol I love liquid eyeliner but I always feel like the brands I try fall flat when it comes to its staying power. So I asked the lady who helped me if I could use it on my hand and then remove it with their remover.. She of course gave me the tester and I wrote thick lines, thin lines, soft lines, and bold lines on my hand! haha I looked a mess. haha Sure enough it dries really quickly for a pen which I usually do not prefer and I started rubbing across the swatches and sure enough they didn't budge! Win-Win!
Sephora Waterproof eye Makeup Remover -- So I tried the remover and fell in love with their formula. I tend to be one of those girls who loves mascara to look like false lashes haha so I use a couple coats of it. It's hard to remove without having raccoon eyes or scrubbing forever. I like this product because it was super easy to remove it and you don't end up with red skin from scrubbing or losing lashes!
Murad Get Clear. Live Clear. Acne Complex Starter Kit -- Okay, I ended up not being super impressed with the Philosophy kit that I had got. I loved certain products out of it but not the kit as a whole was not worth the price! So I decided in my venture for clearer skin, to try this brand. I will try it for a month to see how it works out for me. I've tried so many now it's hard to keep track! haha I think the price wasn't too bad although its supposedly only a month kit. I think it'll last longer than a month. Anyways, my initial reaction.. I tried it out and love the cleanser! It has menthol in it so it has a cooling effect! If you don't like that effect, don't try this one! I personally love it and I like the smell of it. I hate how some cleansers are so strong it burns your eyes to use it. lol This has a pleasant smell and it continues in their other products in this kit. I have used the spot treatment for two days now and the wash, toner, exfoliating gel, and lotion only once. I like the spot treatment at least so far. It has helped with some of the redness! Let's hope it continues.. Only downfall, finding it isn't very helpful with controlling the oil.. hmmm We will see.
Oh yah! I got this too!
Sephora by O.P.I -- The Garden of Good & Evil mini collection
Completely Fern-ished (green color.. It's a little lighter than this in real life.. camera was not working with colors today!)
Eve-y on the Eyes (Purple color)
Tempted by Teal (Teal color)
Frankly, I Don't Give A-dam (gray color)
So I haven't tried them out but I'm a sucker for packaging and I love the colors! I'm feeling a peacock nail design coming on with these colors together! hahaha The box is adorable, the brand is famous so we will try them out! lol
Well I hope you all enjoyed this post! Note my adorable owl backdrop for the pictures! lol I'm not sure if it's what messed up the colors in the next post, but hopefully not. Will test it out more since I really want to use it! Thank you all for sticking by me and understanding my crazy schedule! I will make more time to post in coming weeks. Promise!
Until then, remember to stay smiling!
XoXoXo,
