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?

Freddy's Favorite : Maybelline One by One

I got lucky with some parts of my body. My eyelashes are not one of those parts. Length is good but my lashes stick straight out. I use a curler everyday. My BFF was blessed with beautiful long bouncy curly lashes. I'll forever be jealous.

So what mascara do I use? Maybelline One by One (waterproof duh). I love how it makes my eyelashes look & the curl holds a couple hours before it droops. Bought a backup since it's sure to go away sometime. Another thing I love about this particular mascara is the wand. There's nothing I would change about it. Somehow get into corners better lol. 

MakeUp Alley ratings: 76% rebuy, 4.0 Lippies with 114 reviews.

Anyone else have this eyelash issue? Recommendations!!

Missed the world of beauty

I'm finally through my funk and my camera was finally returned to me on Wednesday. I don't have a real post atm. Still getting back into it. Once my routine gets messed up it takes awhile for me to get back it to it, with anything. I'm back to waking up around 12 instead of waiting til 1:30 or 2. Slowly getting back into exercising (120lbs NO). Here are some pics I already had taken but never posted to tide everyone over. If anyone still reads this ha.

Returning forreal...next week

Ok this would be returning forreal right now post buuuut I accidently left my camera in a friends car. I should be reunited with it beginning of next week. There are so many things I want to take pictures of! My phone (Samsung Galaxy Captivate?) doesn't have a flash so that wouldn't work. 


I stopped working out & blogging, two important good things I do for myself. That make me happy. I stopped for like what a month or two (WOW) but I'm finally get back on the track I was on. Break ups screw me up in the head for a bit. I haven't even been reading anything beauty related lately or wanting to wear makeup as much. I feel like I'm waking up from a weird little nap bit by bit.


Things I would be blogging about:
Have some pics for OOTDs finally.
Got a nail polish I was lusting about. It's high end to me & in my favorite color & it's from a current collection =)
Got some more clothes
New desk!
bought my first bronzer & an e.l.f. brush to go with
Losing my v-Card: brush cleaning
LMVC: liquid eyeliner
reviews of some old favs
Finally got the Olay Venus razor (I've been wanting it really badly for some reason)


Feeling back to my normal self. Can't wait to get lost in the beauty world again! =) 

Hope everyone had a good 4th & thanks for the shorts help!!
