Sephora Box =)

Recently I put in an order at Sephora because I my night cream was almost gone. My last 2 tubes have been Neutrogena  Healthy Skin Anti Wrinkle cream. It comes in a metal tube (which I've seen that recommended) & it contained Retinol. Another great thing. I didn't have any problems with the drug store kind but I wanted to try a higher end brand I decided on Boscia  Recharging Night Moisture. $13 v.s $55.

I love that it comes in a tube with a pump, I've never seen a product with that before. Sadly, no retinol or metal tube. I haven't tried this moisturizer but I have high hopes. I plan on doing a review. My Neutrogena is this close to being all.

I had enough Beauty Insider points for an extra. I chose a Sephora by OPI nail polish:

It's very close to a nude. Light golden yellowy shimmer. I haven't tried Sephora's nail polishes before. I know OPI can't do any wrong.Pinkish tint to it. Maybe next week paint them this color.

If you're familiar with Sephora, you know orders over $50 get you free shipping & 3 free samples. I chose mostly skincare product samples.

( Primer, Serum, Nother Serum)

The Primer is white and more liquid than any primer I've tried previously (Rimmel, Avon). It's my first Make Up Forever product. After all that hype months ago about the teenage model with terrible acne who uses their foundation, I've been wanting to try something from Make Up Forever. It works as well as any other primers I've tried. Won't be buying.

I use Shiseido's Night Time eye cream for wrinkles. I wanted to try something else from the brand. I plan on using it after cleanser & toner but before moisturizer. I'll give a little review when I do get around to trying it.

My third pick was a serum for normal to oily skin. Me totally. Supposedly it controls shine and purifies. I'll let you know. On the back it says to use after cleansing, before moisturizer. No toner before? Or this acts as a toner? I'm not sure I'm sure I'll research it before use anyways.

Anyone have experience with this products?

Cute Things from March

I got this amazing pallet from Sephora. 33 shadows, 3 gel liners, 12 glosses, 4 blushes & 2 bronzers! I love that it comes in a Sephora "bag". The eye shadows I owned before this were all browns, champagne colors, basic stuff. Now I can experiment!! The shadows are good quality. Didn't melt off my eyelids even working in the kitchen. Very pleased with this purchase. =)

I finally purchased Bobbi Brown's Makeup Manual. This has been on my wish list for ages. I already have her book about teenage beauty, didn't show techniques or step by step photos as much as Id like. Just skimming through this one, I know it will help me learn alot! 
Also in this pic is my  Blemish Control cleanser from Olay's Total Effects line. LOVE it. Olay has yet to let me down.








With my Sephora order, Clarins SPF 30 Wrinkle Control eye creme also made it's way to my house. There is so much hype about this product. I am very concerned with using SPF daily & moisturizer. 


I have never owned a girly pink polish. This one by L'Oreal looked perfect. Very pastel, light, feminine.  The shade is Penthouse Pink <3 Another first for me was buying a makeup bag to throw in my purse. The blue is bright & the flowers are gorgeous. The brand is Celebrity.


Pallet - $24 @ Sephora
Book -  $12 @ Amazon
Olay cleanser - $6 @ Walmart
L'Oreal nail polish - $5 @ Walmart
Clarin's - $28 @ Sephora
Makeup Bag - $0.50 @ Goodwill [bargain!]


Thanks for taking a look ladies, if you'd like a more in depth review of any of these products or more pictures leave a comment! And could someone PLEASE tell me how to format posts so there's not acres of empty space between everything. When Im composing it, everything looks grood.

Cheap Dupe - Facial Brush

I wish I could say I haven't posted in a week because I have been busy...that would be a lie though =P Reading blogs? Habit I have down pat. Posting on a blog? Not so much. Something to work on.


I really want to get a Sonicare Mia. It even comes in green! (Green is a color I'm obsessed with) I had about $100 saved for one a couple months ago. Money ended up being spent on Christmas gifts for my bf's children. Definitely more important than me getting my Mia. I ended up getting a $5 Face Complexion brush off of Sephora.

mine was clear...much cuter

The Grood - looove how soft my face feels afterwards. 

The Not Grood - I dont think using a brush has made any other difference. I still want a Mia but that will probably be a birthday (July) treat.

I will get better @ pictures!

On a trip to one of the local Dollar Tree, I spotted face brushes! My Sephora one was a good 3 months old. Splurging at the Dollar Tree is always ok ladies. =) It ended up working just as well as the pricer $5 job. I am NOT complaining about that price. Paying a fifth of it is just common sense. They had blue, pink & purple. I grabbed the purple. Works the same as my old one.

Anyone else use a brush but is dreaming of a Mia??
