Sephora Haul! :)

SEPHORA HAUL


*All pictures came from sephora.com


Hope In A Tinted Moisturizer™
Philosophy Hope in a Tinted Moisturizer

This is actually great for my skin because what it's supposed to do is help your complexion
really shine through, like, its sheer, glowing color helps smooth and enhance your complexion. 
It has UVA/UVB sun protection and has a wide variety of blended antioxidants that protect your 
skin against wrinkles and environmental attacks. It has a sort of souffle texture. I have no idea 
why it has this texture, maybe because if you rub it inbetween your hands you get more out of it? 
I don't know. But it works AWESOME for my skin type, and the only moot point was that it was $38.

Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Kit
Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Kit

I have not tested this out yet, I'm gonna use it tonight, but from what the reviews I've read
say, this stuff is actually pretty good. It's supposed to remove and keep blemishes from
happening. Here is what it says on sephora.com: "After day one, it shuts down acne-causing
bacteria. After one week, skin is visibly clearer, calmer, and less oily. After two weeks, an
improved complexion is guaranteed." We will indeed see about that tonight. I will give
you guys an update about it after two weeks...and don't worry, I'll be sure to keep track!! :)
If it is awesome, it was totally worth the $32.50 (but you get 3 bottles, so whatever)

Color Palette (Value $120)
Sephora Collection Color Palette (Valued $120)

As you can kind of see, I clearly did not pay $120 for three blushes, 16 lip glosses,
and 32 eyeshadows. And one bronzer!! However, it was only $24 for all of this. I think
every girl should have this only because you can create a neutral look or experience
your inner makeup artist using the aquamarine blues or the pretty purples. It's pretty
fun to experiment with all of these colors, plus you get the blushes, bronzer, and lip
glosses. What's even neater? It comes with two eyeshadow applicators, but be warned,
they are breeding grounds for bacteria, so I prefer using an eyeshadow brush.
Eyelash Applicator
False Lash Applicator

I have really shaky hands, especially when applying eyeliner. In my younger makeup
days, when I wanted to put eyeliner on, I'd actually have to have my sister do it for me
because her hands were SOOOO steady. Well, for $8, I don't have to do that anymore.
Well...my hands have somewhat overcome their shakiness, but whatever. I really like
that the end part are like tweezers, so you can put the eyelash on as precisely as you
want.


Vanity Brush Set

Sephora Collection Vanity Brush Set
I love all of the brushes, especially the flat eyeliner brush, which can get into all
of those crevices of your eye to give you that sexy cat-eye look. It comes with a complexion
(blush and/or powder) brush, concealer brush, pointed eye crease brush, flat eyeliner brush,
eye blending brush, and smudge brush. It is a black faux leather container, which I like
because it makes it somewhat artsy. Each of the brushes is given its own little slot...how cute.
The handiest thing? The snap-on, snap-off lid makes this set perfect for traveling purposes.
The catch? $48. Which means you ought to take good care of your brushes to make them
worth the money they cost.

Daily Brush Cleaner

Sephora Collection Daily Brush Cleaner

I got mine for $9, but the price range can range from $6 to $14, depending on which
Sephora store you go to. It is an "antibacterial daily brush cleaner designed to quickly
remove light traces of makeup between applications. Just spray this purifying formula onto
a tissue or directly onto brush bristles, then lightly swipe your powder, blush, eye, and lip
brushes across tissue for a fabulous dose of freshness. No rinsing needed!" (Source=Sephora.
com). "Don't forget this essential step of your beauty routine--disinfecting and protecting
your brushes prolongs their life!" You should go on sephora.com and find this and read the
reviews. They are ALL good! I swear.


That's it! I was really excited to tell you guys about my Sephora haul. :)
That's all for now! I'll be sure to check comments and answer any questions.
