I’ve already created a few recommendation guides which you can view below:
But there’s quite a few new makeup, skincare, and fragrance goodies available at sephora.com at the moment worth looking at!
Here’s some that caught my eye!
So, I realized I didn’t share any of my Sephora purchases and a lot of people were asking what I got. I did head in store which I never do but I wanted to try out some fragrances I wanted before indulging. I also did an online order and I’m playing with a few other items I may or may not haul before the sale ends.
This is what I got so far:
In store:
I think I went a little bit overboard eep but I did have gift cards which helped a lot! I still want a few other items but I might hold off.
What did you get!?
If you need a little helping hand I have a few recommendation guides to get the most bang for your buck:
I’m prone to dry skin not only my face but all over my body. It’s been pretty tame this Winter though! When the Fall hit I was feeling a bit tight, dry, and itchy but it passed quickly and up until recently things have been going pretty smoothly in my dry skin realm.
However, the weather started to get a little warmer about two weeks ago and suddenly for some unknown reason I started to feel super dry and itchy. And I mean ITCHY! Oh my gosh it was awful. I started slathering on all my lotions and potions but not a lot helped. I also had a really bad red rash on my neck. I actually started getting semi-panicky thinking it was the measles. I’ve had the chicken pox but never the measles. After a quick visit to my dermatologist, who’s 85 years old and quite good at soothing my skin hypochondriasis by telling me how ridiculous I am thinking I have skin cancer from a tiny mole, I was reassured I did not have the measles but just irritated myself by itching my drier skin. And as always, he explained that when I got out of the shower I should apply my body lotion to my wet skin and pat dry and of course, NO steaming hot showers.
This is actually a good technique to use as I find some body lotions can be very heavy and don’t completely absorb when I apply them on my drier skin. Applying them on my wet skin allows the formula to absorb much, much faster. But I actually still struggle with this at times.
That was until started using Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer. Oh my god! This stuff saves my dry skin life.
YSL All Hours Concealer ($34) is a new 16 hour-wear, full-coverage concealer that launched several months ago which I’ve had on my wish list for a while but kept forgetting to purchase. Since Sephora has 20% Off at the moment now was a good time as any to finally purchase this.
It’s formulated to not only hide dark circles, bags, finer lines, etc…but also promises a long-wearing with a creamy matte finish. The matte finish did concern me but lately the makeup world is filled with matte finish concealers that are actually quite hydrating and not dry looking. Matte really isn’t what it used to be and the beauty world has made vast improvements on the finish across a variety of formulas from eyeshadow to concealer and beyond…!
Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Concealer Perfect in almost every way but it falls victim to a problem that plagues many concealers like this.
