Makeup and Skincare Haul

Okay guys, I went out-of-control at Sephora recently. (Kindly note that I paid for each of these items out of my own pocket, and yes, it was painful.)

1. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream - I talked about this in another post, and I just ran out! I quickly bought another, which I don’t do very often. I usually just keep trying things and don’t “commit” to products.
2. Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Cleanser - I’m trying this out for a bit. It’s a foamy cleanser that’s also quite moisturizing at the same time. So far, it hasn’t left my skin feeling stripped. You can’t put it around your eyes though, so I’ve been using another cleanser to remove eye makeup. Hmm. We’ll see.
3. Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment - I was afraid to try this because a) it’s green and b) people say it stings. I have sensitive skin so I was a little nervous. The product performed well, but I think the gentle version may be better for my skin type.
4. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush (Radiant Magenta) - Gorgeous. Utterly perfect, beautiful, fabulous. I’m running out of ways to describe this blush. Just get it - it looks lovely on everyone. It’s buildable as well, so if you want a barely-there magenta flush, you can do that, or if you want a fierce, hellooo cheeks look, you can do that as well.
5. Nars Matte Multiples (Vientiane) - FINALLY got this hot new beauty item. It’s amazing for contouring: blends like butter, and doesn’t feel cakey. Tan central party of one!
6. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner (Black) - I love this felt pen liner! It allows me to artfully create the blackest black cat eye with precision. Obsessed.
7. See By Chloe - I’ve been loving this scent recently. It’s girly, fruity, and a little different. It’s not spicy at all (I hate spicy scents) and it’s great for rolling on before class and during your lunch break. It is perfect for spring!
8. BECCA Ever-Matte Shine Proof Foundation (Buff) - I don’t know how I feel about this one yet. I like that I’m not a greaseball anymore when I come home from a long day in the city, but I’m not sure that it’s enough coverage for me. I think for it to be used at its best, it has to be paired with Becca Primer, and I’m currently using Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Light.
9. No Bleeding Lips Secret Lip Liner - Feathering gloss just ruins my look, especially if bright, spring lips are the focus. This convenient clear lip liner has been doing the trick. So far, so good.
10. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder (Dim Light) - My favorite new highlighter! I’ve stashed away my Dior Amber Diamond in favor of this product as of late. I love the glow it gives me!

In a few weeks, I’ll be in sunny Orlando. YAY. I figured I’d pick up a travel bag (it came out free with some of my purchases) for my flight. AH can’t wait.

It’s difficult to justify my crazy shopping spree … EVERYTHING WAS SO PRETTY. Do you really need any other reason? Haha!
