From Last Week’s Sephora Haul

26th August, 2010

While waiting for the Cheesecake Factory to open last week, we ended up taking a stroll through the mall it’s located in to kill some time. We ended up killing 1.5 hours of time. We hit the Disney Store (my favorite store ever), the MAC store and then we ended up at…Sephora.

OK so I didn’t need anything from Sephora, but I always come out with at least one thing. Here is what I picked up:

1. Sephora by OPI nail polishes – This is my favorite brand for nail polish and I got them in the colors Domestic Goddess (a dark magenta purple color and I love this color) and Call Your Mother (a somewhat gray, but lilacy color that goes on semi shiney and looks flat). $9.00 each

2. a pack of OLEHENRIKSEN makeup wipes – I paid $15.00 for 30 – the sales rep said it’s a new brand they just brought in and I get my first Sephora skincare point if I buy it (if you buy 4 or 5 – I can’t remember right now – of any full sized skincare product you get the 5 or 6 full size for free) . These wipes smell like orange cremesicles literally. They are nothing special. When I use them they feel scratchy, but then again my face is sensitive because I am under a Dermatologists care at the moment. My dollar makeup wipes (30 pack as well) from Odd Lots works for me better than these in my case. These wipes do not clean any better than my dollar wipes – it’s basically the same. Also, these wipes are not as moist as MAC wipes or Neutrogena wipes. I will be returning these wipes.

3. Sephora nail file – I like this file a lot. I think it is made out of what seems to be glass which is sanded down so it doesn’t poke or cut anything. I had never seen one like it until I bought it, went to Target and saw that Revlon has one too! LOL! Both files cost $6.00. The difference between the two is that with the Revlon one you can use both sides to file whereas with the Sephora one you can only use one side (the other side is not textured). I opted to keep the Sephora file because it has the name “SEPHORA” on it.
