Hello my lovelies,
I am here with another blog post about some beauty products I've bought in a mini Sephora haul and I thought I would share with you some of the products I've purchased and had the time to try out.
Left to right:
NARS Eyeshadow duo palette in Hula Hula, Tokidoki Kabuki brush,
Urban Decay single eyeshadow in Buck, Sephora Duo eyepencil sharpener, Korres lip butter in Pomegranate &
fresh. Sugar lip treatment.
NARS Eyeshadow palette ($39.00CAN): I love this product, I actually have been meaning to purchase some of these eyeshadow duos and this is the one I've really wanted to try. The left side is a gorgeous strawberry pink colour with golden shimmers. So beautiful all over the lids for the summer. The right shadow is a beautiful hazelnut colour with golden shimmer that really is great in the crease. I think this eyeshadow duo is super pigmented and very sparkly, which I absolutely love. I definitely will be purchasing more colours later on!
Tokidoki Kabuki brush ($16.00CAN): Okay, I know what you guys are thinking..How. Is. This. Only. 16. Bucks? Well, Tokidoki unfortunately will be removed from the Sephora stores (BOO! I love this line, very dear to my heart *tear*) and they made everything 40%-50% off (I only say this because I went to one Sephora and it was 40% off and another one the next day and it was 50% there, so I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere!) The brush is super cute (just like all their other brushes, which I own as well) and the bristles are so soft! It was definitely worth the 16 bucks from it's original $36.00. I got the last one at the store I went to so I'm very happy. Be sure to check out and stock up on some of the items before it's completely gone! I know I will be.
Urban Decay single eyeshadow in Buck ($22.00CAN): This is my absolute, #1 go-to crease colour when I do my every day make up look. This eyeshadow is absolutely gorgeous it's a fawn brown matte colour. This colour is included in the infamous Naked Palette by Urban Decay as well. See, my sister and I share the Naked palette unfortunately and since moving out of my mom's room (it's not what you think, all of my sister and I's make up is stored there. We use her mirror to put on our make-up) to my room, she has claimed the territory of the make up palette. So, seeing as I really can't live without that colour and I have plenty of M.A.C Eyeshadows that can count as dupes for "Half Baked" (another fav colour from the Naked palette) I decided to buy Buck because it's my #1...I can't go without it.
Sephora duo eyepencil sharpener ($7.00CAN): I really needed one of these! Especially since I've used all of the tip of my Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer pencil and haven't sharpened it at all since. It's great! Has two holes, one for the normal sized pencil and a jumbo sized hole (great for my concealer pencil).
Korres Lipbutter ($16.50CAN): This lip butter is so beautiful! One of my favourite YouTube gurus, Bethany (MacBarbie07) talked about the Korres lip products and I am a lip junkie so I wanted to try out some of their products. I got the one in Pomegranate which is a sheer coral colour. It does have a little bit of colour to it, it mostly gives your lips a "your lip colour but better" look. So natural and very moisturizing! I recommend trying it, I did get the one in the jar which is always a con for lip products because of germs and bacteria and what not. But, I always use it when my hands are clean so for me it's not a problem. There are tube versions of Korres lip products so if it's an issue there is always an alternative!
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 ($22.00CAN): I absolutely love this product that I had to purchase the full size version. Originally, I received the sample size as my birthday gift from Sephora being a beauty insider. At first I was totally bummed to have received this instead of the Philosophy Birthday Cake but decided to give it a try and I have to say, I used up all the sample and decided it was well worth getting they full size version. So, this one is just the clear one but there are many other tinted ones which are just as amazing! I definitely want to try the coral one next :) But this is so good, I used it at night mostly but when I need extra moisture for my lips I throw it in bag and bring it around. I wake up and my lips feel so smooth and soft, it's definitely worth it. It also smells so good, like sweet lemons (which makes no sense because lemons are sour but that's how I describe it haha). Also, great for this summer because of the SPF 15! Sometimes we forget to protect the lips and focus on other areas like our face and body when lips are just as important! Just a quick glaze of this and your lips will not only be protected but hydrated!
Sorry about such the long raves about these products! They're just some of the items I've researched for a long time before purchasing (which is what I always do, especially buying high end or from lines which I've never purchased from before). Beauty and fashion are something that are very dear to me so it's only right to tell you guys how I feel about every product to help you in trying new products as well. I hope I did a good job in this post. Please look forward to more posts in the future! But for now...
Peace & Love,
Audrey x
