Small Sephora SALE Haul.

I was at Sephora the other day to purchase a new foundation and picked up some goodies! There was a small sale rack with various Sephora brand lipsticks, lip liner and eye shadows for $3-$5. I was going to buy a bunch of things, especially eye shadows, but I decided to just get a few things, because well, $5 an item adds up if you have a ton of things.

Anyway, here is what I purchased:

Sephora Colorful Eye Shadow No. 18 $5
Sephora Colorful Eye Shadow No. 19 (not pictured above) $5
Sephora Lips Pencil #110 $3
Sephora Lip Stick No. 12 $5

The reason No. 19 wasn't pictured above is because I made a 2nd trip to Sephora the following day and purchased it.

Swatches of the two. No. 19 is a deep black pine green with green and silver glitter. No. 18 is a olive green with silver glitter. Both colors are gorgeous. The glitter in No. 19 is a little less day appropriate. I've worn both and I'm in love with them. The pigmentation is really good, especially when applied wet. I won't wear these eye shadows any other way. Really good buys.

Onto the lip products..

The lipstick applies like a glaze, and its a sheer golden. It looks like it would apply like a peach, but its just a pearly sheen. I love the pencil.. there were a bunch of other shades but I only purchased this one because it looks just like my beloved MAC Stripdown. I really like it.


This is a swatch of No.18, the lipstick and liner.

I checked on the Sephora website and I didn't see any of this stuff available. Check for it at your local Sephora! :)

MAC Eversun Beauty Powder Blush Review!

MAC Eversun Beauty Powder Blush

MAC Eversun Beauty Powder Blush ($18) is described as a neutral peach bronze with gold pearl. It's one of the two (along with On a Mission) Beauty Powder Blushes released in the '09 Style Warriors Collection.

I received this blush in a swap, but you might be able to find this blush at your local Cosmetic Comany Outlet.

This is one of those blushes that replaces the need for a bronzer. Just a little over my cheeks, and it gives my skin a nice, warm glow. It's great for minimal makeup looks, and for smokey eye looks, as it's not goig to overpower the face.

Beauty Powders are typically softer than MAC's standard blushes, and Eversun is no exception. It's finely milled, and soft to the touch, making it very easy to blend on the cheeks.

Some news and my weekend! :)

Sorry I didn't to make a New Year post, but Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a blast. I had a good time spending it with my boyfriend and his family and friends. And, I had a long weekend, which is always nice! I should have new years pictures up soon. I didn't get to dress the way I wanted at all :( I was planning on curling my hair and curling my extensions but I had left my extensions at my boyfriends house so I just had my hair flat ironed. And, I took too long to get ready so by the time I was about to get dressed, he was waiting outside.. I had no time at all to pick and pair out an outfit.. so I ended up wearing jeans and not taking my coat off all night because I didn't match. Oh well. Me and George have a weekend ritual of going to this pancake house in town that has the BEST breakfast food. My favorite thing to order is FRENCH CREPES. My heart is skipping thinking about it. HA. Who is like this over food except me? lol  
Its three crepes with fresh strawberries and a tangerine sauce and dusted off with powdered sugar. delish! His favorite are the chocolate crepes.
 
don't you hate when you try to snap some cute pictures and they make the dumbest faces? lol, sorry babe.  
These were my nails.. I used my OPI "Purple with a Purpose" nail polish with a glittery silver polish from forever 21 over it. I think it looked a little elementary, but I didn't want to redo them. I really like the shade of purple. I used it on my toes as well.
 
 
We also made a trip to Corner Bakery for some hot chocolate and something sweet :) I honestly didn't care for their hot chocolate, yuck.
 
My boyfriend is a firm believer of buying a million different sweets in case we're stuck with one that isn't good. lol definately NOT a good thing for the weight conscious. haha yeah.. we didn't leave much left.
 
And, an update/news... DUN DUN DUN. I gave my two week notice at my current job because I received a better job offer. woohoo! You all can look forward to more blog posts.. I'll have all the time in the world now. :) and I'm double happy because Its staying light outside a little longer now.. no more complete darkness at 4PM. Yay spring!! Can't wait! :)
