From Last Week’s Sephora Haul
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.
My Chanel Nail Polishes Came In!
I think I went too far. I paid a ridiculous amount of money for these two fabulous Chanel nail polishes and why do I not regret it?? I love them and will be keeping them and I am so happy to have them…beautiful colors. With my purchase I was able to choose two, free samples which are a fragrance called Cristalle by Chanel and Mousse Confort Rich Foaming Cream Cleanser. I hope I don’t like any of these because I don’t want to pay the prices for them!!!! Ha!
I immediately rocked Particuliere the first day I received the polishes and figured that it was best I wear it in the Fall since the color is more in the brown family and not so much in the brown gray family – not summery of a color at all. I have no other colors like it so that’s awesome!
On the other hand, Nouvelle Vague looks like some other colors I have mermaid blue/green ???. The next two colors I’m getting will be Vamp and the overly hyped up Paradoxal. Here are the pictures of my new nail polish additions below…Price: $23.00 each
Sephora by O.P.I. Tiny Nail Polish Haul
I bought these two polishes, by Sephora by OPI, a little while back, but forgot to post them. My favorite out of the two is Havana Dreams (on the right) and the other one is Read My Palm (on the left).
Both polishes are lovely and are great to wear on the toes so I picked them up after seeing them both on the Sephora website. The polishes go on nicely. I don’t know if they chip or are long lasting because I use Seche Vite base and top coats on my nails. *shrugs*
I paid $9.00 each and I am happy with my purchases.
And here are Havana Dreams and Read My Palm compared to China Glaze’s “For Audrey” nail polish (in the middle)…
Sephora, Bare Escentuals and MAC Haul…YAY!
Yesterday after a HUGE New York & Company (50% off everything plus $70 off purchases over $150 – I did major damage) and Disney Store (the family and I are going to DISNEY WORLD for Halloween so I had to pick up a few thing – did major damage here too as I always do) haul, I decided to head on over to my other two places to shop…Sephora and MAC! Yay! I picked up some great items. I’ll start with Bare Escentuals….
I don’t like Bare Escentuals anymore, but I’ve always wanted their eyeshadow in Denim and so I finally bought it. It’s just a frosty deep royal blue color and I just love it. I love love love love it. I didn’t open it to swatch it because I didn’t feel like dealing with minerals everywhere. I know you all understand that. Price: $13.00
And here is my MAC haul! I only picked up two items. I did a Back 2 MAC and got an eyeshadow in Cranberry (turned in 6 empty MAC eyeshadow quads – $0). I was going to get another neutral color, but I have so many already…trying to fill up my palettes with lots of color now. Lastly, I finally gave in and bought the “ever shedding” (so I’ve heard many times) 109 brush (Price: $32.50). I’m going to use this brush for the first time today with my new NARS Sheer Matte foundation that is included in my Sephora haul below.
Last, but not least…my Sephora haul! I asked for my belated b-day gift so I got that. It’s a Sephora eyeshadow, an eyeliner brush and a mascara. I haven’t looked into what it is exactly so I can’t say. I also picked up a staple, Urban Decay Primer Potion (Price: $18.00). I have a tube of Too Faced Shadow Insurance in my collection, but I find that Urban Decay works better for me…those two items are very different to me and I hear folks say a lot that they are equivalent. I think not!
I also picked up my very first Make Up For Ever item and I bought an eyeshadow in #99 (Price: $19.00). I had been wanting a red eyeshadow for a long long time and was going to get it from MAC Pro, but I just haven’t been making it over to NYC lately. I went for MUFE and I am super happy with my only red eyeshadow. I had to get another NARS blush because I love them so and got Torrid blush (Price: $26.00) which was next on my list to get. It is a beautiful corally color (not so much brown as Lovejoy), not to shimmery blush…it’s gorge! I’m running out of MAC Studio Fix Fluid so I decided to give NARS Sheer Matte foundation (Price: $42.00) a try and I got it in the shade “Trinidad”. If this is not my shade (it was the darkest available) then I’m going to return it for a refund, but I have heard great things about it.
And lastly, I had to get this nail polish I saw on BeautyChameleon.com while surfing through it called, “Under My Trench Coat” – Sephora by OPI (Price: $9.00). When I saw the swatch about a month ago I was like I had to get it so I got it. It reminds me of a brighter Metro Chic with no purple undertones. I love it. It’s unique when it comes to my polish collection.
That’s all!!! Next haul will be massive and it will be from the MAC To The Beach Collection. I am so looking forward to that collection.
