Sephora Haul + My Thoughts

Sephora is full of pretty makeup, skincare, and perfume items that make me go weak in the knees!

 

Some people deem Sephora as the Home Depot for women.

 

 

I received a gift card to Sephora for Christmas that I have been saving for something extra special.

 

I decided to get the luxurious Christian Dior Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm.

 

I had high hopes for this product because its been raved about on YouTube by a lot of people. Unfortunately, this did not help keep my lips smooth or moisturized.

 

This product has been returned. I would not recommend this product if you have dry lips. Considering the price tag, I expected this to be holy grail status.

Currently Coveting - Baby Pink & Glowy Skin (Featuring Illamasca, YSL, Hourglass, Mac, & Dior)

Hello beautiful people.

 

Today I decided to share a few of the beauty products that I've been coveting! The "Currently Coveting" idea was borrowed from one of my favorite bloggers - Cocoa & Pearls. Her blog is amazing and I highly recommend it!

 

These products are both mid-end  and high-end beauty products that are items that I would love to splurge on.

The theme is baby pink & glowy skin.

 

 

Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Katie - I've heard some amazing things about this blush. It looks like the perfect baby pink color. I've heard that this is the better version of Mac's powder blush in Well Dressed.

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in #7 Lingerie Pink - So many people on YouTube have raved about these lipsticks. After swatching them at Sephora, I would love to add one of these gorgeously packaged lipsticks to my collection.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - I've heard that these powders are beautiful. When I saw that they have a limited edition palette of three powders, I fell in love! These babies are expensive, however you get to try out three different shades for a little more than the price of one full sized product. Great way to dip your toes into an Hourglass product.

Mac Mineralized Moisture SPF 15 Foundation - I've been interested in this product since it first came out. I love Mac foundations and I want to try out more. I haven't heard much about this product in the YouTube beauty community or in the blogs that I follow.

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer - I've heard that this product is amazing for the undereyes. My only concern is the color range since I'm so pale. I am usually unable to find a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than my skintone to use in my undereye area.

Dior Addict Gloss in #553 Princess - I've heard that these lipglosses are wonderful. This would be a great luxury item to pair with the YSL lipstick!




Those are the items that I've been eyeing for a while! I'd love to know some of the products that you would love to own!!

XOXO
