Hey guys!
Just sharing some of my recent Sephora purchases and more of my favorites since the Sephora Holiday sale is ending soon! This is a great time to stock up on beauty faves for the year and to even grab some stocking stuffers for the holidays for loved ones and friends! 🙂
New Items:
DryBar Mixologist interchangeable Styling Iron – I have only used this iron once and I am sure this will be a staple for me. I got it because it had the waver and the curler option. So far, I have only used the waver option and I am in love. It’s that good!It heats up really quickly and it is really easy to use/change out the attachments. Sephora also has a set that included this iron and a few of the DryBar hairsprays. Unfortunately, when I made this purchase, I didn’t see these option but I ended up ordering the Hot Toddy Heat Protectant and the Triple Sec finishing spray. They are deff with the money. The heat protect is good because it doesn’t make your hair wet or sticky. Both sprays smell sooooooo good! If I could repurchase, I would buy the set so I wouldn’t have to but the sprays separately.
Patrick TA Blushes – Like the styling iron I have only used these once but I love them. I have the shades She’s Sincere and She’s So LA. I mixed both of the powder options together and they made the perfect natural, peachy color on my cheeks. I haven’t tried the crème blush in the She’s So LA but when I do, I will let you guys know how I like it.
Old Faves:
Foundations
NARS Soft Matte Foundation – I raved about this foundation all October long! I love love love it! It does such a great job at smoothing and blurring my skin. I initially purchased the color Syracuse but it was a tad too dark for me so I bought the color Valencia. This shade was perfect!
Bronzer –
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer – The color and finish of the bronzer is just unmatched. It’s not too dark, thick, or muddy on the skin. I use the shade 2 but I was initially using the shade 3. Shade 3 was just a tad too dark for me now but will probably work perfectly during the summer months.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chocolat – I use this as a cream bronzer before I use the powder bronzer. It is really easy to blend. Sometimes, when I want my lips to look fuller, I add a little of this under my bottom like to create more of a shadow so that my lip appears fuller.
Gucci Bronzing Powder– This bronzer is good and deff worth the money. I really like this but when I use this bronzer I don’t use a blush because it is a little more on the red side.
EyeShadow –
Natasha Denona Glam Palette – This one is soooo good! I had no idea I would like a palette with cooler shades until I got this one. The sparkly shades in this palette really shine without any setting spray. I love to add them to my inner corner.
Blush –
Charlotte Tilbury has some of the best blushes I have ever tried. The colors are so perfect. Right now I have the shades: Pillow Talk Intense, The Climax, and Sex On Fire. My faves are Sex on Fire and The Climax.
Concealer –
Nars Soft Matte Concealer – This concealer is THICK and has the best coverage. I currently use the shade ginger. I use the Charlotte Tilbury Color Corrector 1st and then use this on top. The combo really hides my dark circles.
Color Corrector –
Charlotte Tilbury Vanish Color Corrector – Color Correct is a MUST now that I have a little one. Sleep is a thing of the past and my dark circles are only getting darker (lol!). I use this in two shades 2 and 3. I use 2 first and blend it out and then I add 3 on top in the darkest areas. These make a world of difference when do my concealer. I look fresh and awake.
Lipgloss –
Charlotte Tilbury Lipgloss in Ibiza Nights
Pat McGrath Lipgloss in Pale Fire Nectar – The color of this gloss is so unique. I love to swear it alone or on top of a pink lipstick for an extra glossy look.
Lipliner –
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat – I love the shades Foxy Brown and Iconic Nude.
Makeup Forever Lipliner in shades- I love shades wherever walnut, limitless brown, and anywhere caffeine for everyday use. They all pair so well with nude lipsticks.
Lipstick –
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick – CT makes some of the best lipsticks I have ever tried! I love the shades Penelope Pink, Nude Kate, Kim KW, and Hepburn Honey. I typically pair them with a brown lipliner but on occasion I like to pair them with a pink lipliner like wherever walnut.
Mascara –
NARS The Climax – I use this one just about every day! I love it and I don’t have any issues with it flaking.
Primer –
Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas Primer
Dior Backstage Face and Body Primer
The Ordinary High Adherence Silicone Primer – Such a great primer for $5. I really like to let this one sit for a few seconds before blending it out. I feel like I get the most out of it when I use it this way.
Setting Powder –
These powders do a really great job at keeping my makeup in place without being too drying or cakey.
Too Faced Born This Way Setting Powder
Laura Mercier Setting Powder in Translucent
Anastasia Beverly Hills Setting Powder in Vanilla
Eyebrow products –
Benefit Precisely My Brow – I use the shade 4
Fragrance –
Jo Malone Red Roses – my go to scent! I have used this for years. It smells just like a bouquet of fresh cut roses.
Maison Margiela ‘REPLICA’ By The Fireplace – This is new to me but I have sprayed it on just about every day. It smells like vanilla but not syrupy sweet…if that makes sense. I have the travel size now but once I run out, I will be buying the full sized scent because it is that good.
Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka – This almost reminds me of the Maison Margiela scent but doesn’t have the touch of burning wood. It is sweet but not syrupy. I have also used this one for years.
