Holiday Sephora Shopping P.2

Like I had said before in part one, I did a lot of Sephora shopping for the holidays as well as some presents, which I did not take pictures of. For part two I left the the first two online orders I did with the app, which is much better than buying at the store, since I received so many samples with each order. I bought another Huda Beauty obsessions palette, this time in mauve, another quick dry matte lip paint from Tarte in cheerleader and a sample set of Tarte lip paints, one quick dry matte in rosé and the other creamy matte in fomo.

Like I said, ordering online is way better with all the samples I received. Mini perfumes, argan oil, lip balm, makeup remover balm, which I love and will definitely get in full size once I run out, foundation, primer, concealer from Kat Von D, which I also loved and bought the full size and the great thing was I got them in these cute striped makeup bags.

This Chanel N5 perfume was not something I bought, but I did order it on behalf of my husband as my Christmas present. It was a fragrance I hadn't tried before, but when I received it, I loved it.

First I tried here the palette, the primer, the Fenty by Rihanna foundation, which I wasn't a fan of, liquid blush from Nars and the Tarte lip paint in cheerleader, very beautiful red. Necklace by the way is from Mirina Collections, which is now Chic Wishlist, for 70% off anything on the site use coupon code saveonwishlist.

I continued to use the makeup, picture on the left is the shade fomo, picture on the right is rosé.

Holiday Sephora Shopping P. 1

Unknown Anastasia Beverly Hills , beauty 0 Comments

It was December and my makeup and Sephora obsession was growing. I went for another trip to the store and bought myself a few goodies after a gift shopping trip there as well. I was sampling the rollerball perfumes and fell in love with this scent from Gucci called Bloom, for now I'll just stay with this, since just the rollerball is $34. I also bought the Pore fessional primer from Benefit, a matte red lipstick shade 714 from Urban Decay's Vice collection and a metalized green one shade junkie, the Huda Beauty obsessions palette in smokey, the quick dry matte lip stain from Tarte in the shade Bounce and the infamous brow pomade from Anastasia Beverly Hills in Taupe.

A friend had given me a Vice lipstick just a few weeks before, which was the reason I went and bought another in another shade.

This was my first Huda Beauty purchase and it did not disappoint, they are very pigmented colors and for awhile I was only using this palette.

I had heard this brow pomade was heaven, but had never had enough money to be able to buy makeup more expensive than a $5 lipstick at the drugstore. Now working two jobs that were paying well, I was finally able to try it. It took a few tries, but by the third time as they say was the charm, I was used to using brow pencils, so this was completely new territory for me. For $18 it's not too bad, since you get many uses out of it, to this day I'm only 1/4 into it and I use it everyday.

More Lashes and Lips

Unknown Beauty products , beauty treats 0 Comments

For my second part reviewing new beauty products I bought, first up is a matte red lipstick I saw while I was making some purchases at Madrag. I love matte red lipsticks now, so I just added another one and I was in for a treat because it was a very long lasting lipstick. A very high pigment red that seems to stain your lips, which is why it lasts a long time. I liked it so much that I bought two other colors today, pink and orange.

Another new product I bought was a mascara, since I was in need of a new one. I had gone to Walmart with my roommate and she had suggested this one from L'Oréal since she got one too. She had mentioned that the best mascaras are the ones that have a base coat and she was right, it makes my lashes a lot more voluminous as the name suggests.

This mascara is definitely a keeper.

Multiple Beauty Product Reviews

Unknown beauty , blue 0 Comments

I've bought a few new beauty products and can now say a few things about them, which includes some Chanel, Revlon and e.l.f. I bought a Chanel lipstick to replace my discontinued color from years ago and the purchase came with a free sample of mascara, which I finally tried and I have to say I love! The mascara makes my lashes stand out more and of course the lipstick is heaven, I leave them for special occasions.

I first put on my lipstick and mascara for a boat trip with my friend and my parents I'm Nicaragua.

I had bought this mineral infused fave primer from e.l.f. as it was only $6 compared to the $15 primer I had been using from Sephora, which I did love, but it was just too much and I had to replace it too often. I thought if try this less expensive option to see if it was a better option and it was.

Works just as well as the $15 one amd it is lasting me longer, not to mention the price tag is better.

I was at CVS with my friend after work and we had checked what coupons we had on the coupon machine and a Revlon coupon was printed for $3 off with no minimum purchase, so I'd thought I could get a $3 product for free and I found this eyeshadow for $3.19. In the end it was 19 cents and I got it in a pretty light blue to add to my colors.

I tried it out 2 days later on my day off with another blue eyeshadow I have, Chanel mascara and lipstick with many blue accents in my outfit like my new bejeweled sandals, which is mentioned in my last post.

New Nars Lips

Unknown beauty , chic 0 Comments

Since I am a Beauty Insider for Sephora and it was my birthday on August 10, they gave me these Nars sample lipsticks. A soft pink in a satin finish and a red in a matte finish, my first matte lipstick and boy did I fall in love. I had also gone to Pink by Victoria's Secret to claim my free panty. It was a day of freebies. I took advantage since these stores are at the mall I work at.

The soft satin pink.

The matte red.

Here I am wearing the satin pink.

And here I'm wearing the matte red, which lasted all day at work without much reapplying.

Thanks Sephora!

Statements and Lipstick

Unknown accessories , chic 0 Comments

For another work day I wore all black with statement jewelry. It was going to be a short shift and my aunt was going to pick me up after work, since I didn't work the next day, I would stay over at her place and it was nice since my grandparents are in town. My mother had sent some stuff with them, so that was also another reason to see them. It was a very calm and easy day at work, since for the first hour we had a seminar showcasing some new Guess products, had free donuts and got a free Guess notebook. It also started raining really hard again, which didn't let my aunt or grandparents get out of the car when they came, they had to stay in the parking lot and wait for me. I was also in need of someone to sign a document for me to send as proof of employment for something, which involves some waiting at the end of my shift, didn't even get a chance to clock out, but the system does it automatically after 10 minutes.

I wore my Express pants as always, soon I will mix it up, maybe with skirts, different pants or dresses and black top with some ruffles was a gift.

My necklace and earring set was a gift from a friend, which was made by her sister, Jacque and Jewels. I also finally tried my new free lipstick I got that day at Macy's when they did the Urban Decay demonstration on me.

I had posted about this lipstick in a previous post, but in case anyone forgot, here it is again. My free mini lipstick from Urban Decay at Macy's in Jilted.

The free Guess notebook from the seminar.

Avon Lashes and Lips

Unknown 24kt gold , Avon 0 Comments

I just realized I forgot to post this last week!! My last Avon order came Monday, I ordered a mascara and a nude colored lipstick with 24 kt gold in it. I started working on this post the day after I received the items, but I had no internet to post it. Mom's paycheck hadn't come in yet, so my dad couldn't go into the next town to pay for my phone internet and my friend just came this Monday at midnight and we've just stayed in watching movies, so I have not been out anywhere and still have not tried my new make up.

The 24kt gold label on the wrapper.

I could see the gold flecks within the lipstick and couldn't wait to finally try it.

I received these products on Monday of last week and didn't get the chance to try them on until in the next post, which is St. Patrick's Day.

Avon Hair and Lips

Unknown Avon , beauty 0 Comments

I got some new Avon products, a hair cream for anti frizz in coconut and acai, another pop love lipstick this time in cherry and the lipliner is actually my mother's. The hair product and the lipstick smell very nice, especially the hair product, I could not stop smelling it.

Luckily I had to wash my hair the day after I got them, so I was able to use the coconut acai cream immediately. I added it to my wet hair and let it dry naturally, it did help with my frizz and made it smooth, but now my hair feels kind of greasy. I might've put too much or I just can't have product in my hair since they make it greasy.
