Denman D3 Brush & My Hair Type
It looks like I’m an official natural girl now since I own a Denman brush now! Ha! I’m kidding! I bought my brush from Sally for $8.99 and the model is a D3. I was on a mission to pick up a D4, like TightlyCurly.com recommends, but Sally didn’t have it. The next best thing was the D3 and I am fine with that. It comes with 7 rows of bristles instead of the 9 rows that comes in the D4. The brush is a heavy duty plastic and the bed (the orange part), where the bristles come out of, is a durable type of rubber ???. The bristles are plastic and I cannot see them bending at all as time goes by – that’s how tough they are. The packaging says it’s made in the United Kingdom. As I keep looking at the brush I’m thinking my mom could have owned a brush like this when I was a little girl…I’ll have to ask her about that because it looks so familiar.
My First Time To Sephora Times Square!
I didn’t mean to go into the Times Square Sephora two Saturday afternoons ago, but since we were walking past it I had to go in. I hauled something kind of large. I never bought this much from any Sephora before all at one time so this felt very very good! This store is about three times bigger than any Sephora I’ve been to. Live DJ and all…fun fun fun! I think this is my favorite Sephora now.
Before I get into what I purchased, the prices and swatches (will be posted separately), let me show you some pics of my time at Sephora…I had to pass the MAC store a.k.a. Heaven before getting to Sephora, but I didn’t go in because I had nothing to buy (no interest int he Pret-A-Papier collection at all) – maybe next time. 
I didn’t know that the creator of TokiDoki was in the building so I decided maybe I’d buy something and then get his autograph, but I was NOT about to wait in that line. The line wasn’t that long, but it was moving S-L-O-W as hay. My baby girl was not about to stand in that line with me either plus the World Festival was going on as well so I wanted to get some inexpensive shopping in too! Here is the line and the TokiDoki guy and Sephora rep…I think that’s his name…TokiDoki guy. Ha!
So, we went on inside of the Sephora and I went shopping! I first headed off to the Laura Mercier display because I wanted to see and feel what her Oil-free Tinted Moisturizer I’ve been hearing rave reviews about. I think I like it and will give that a go…soon!
Then I hit up Illamasqua display because I can’t get it at any of the Sephora’s in where I live (in Jersey) and I like to see and feel products before I buy them. I never online shop for makeup ever. Anyway, I fell in love with Illamasqua the first time Richie Nickel showed and talked about it on his Youtube channel and fell more in love after seeing the products in person. The Illamasqua display was a total mess and was clearly abused. I was able to sift through the out of place items and found everything I wanted anyway.
Thirdly, I hit up the TokiDoki display since the creator was there and the place was crowded! The hanging makeup travel bags by TokiDoki were selling out like hot cakes. I think they were priced at $42.00 a pop and I didn’t get one – I wanted a smaller bag, but they didn’t have one. I was able to get a smaller makeup bag from my home Sephora later that same day. This display is new, clean and in order, of course, so no complaints there.
I got all of the items I wanted and then some. Yay! Happy shopping! Last, but not least, I wanted to take a picture with the scary TokiDoki guy and so I did. My baby girl was not feeling him at all and wanted to tell him ADIOS! Ha!
OK so that was the fun fun fun (last time I’m saying fun fun fun) first time trip ever to Sephora Times Square!
