Latest Sephora Collection Beauty Buys

by // // Comments off

 

EPHORA COLLECTION – All-Over Solid Cleanser

 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Mask Stick

 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Overnight Glow Mask

 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Multi-Purpose Oil

 

Here are my latest Sephora Collection beauty products that I’ve already tested for several weeks so I can tell you a little bit about them. First of all, all these products are too good to not give them a try, and they are all priced right. Two of them are also on sale right now which makes them under $5 each! 

I usually buy bar soaps for my baths in Marshalls. Now with the pandemic going on and everything closed, I had to look somewhere else. This SEPHORA COLLECTION – All-Over Solid Cleanser seemed to be what I needed so I ordered the Cactus one. It’s exfoliating, which is perfect for baths, but not only. You can use it on your face as well if that’s what you prefer. It has a nice subtle scent and it does the job. It’s vegan and cruelty free which is a plus! I definitely will be buying more of these! You can also get them in Coconut, Spirulina and Charcoal. Only $4! 

I love face masks and stick masks are very practical to use in my opinion. This SEPHORA COLLECTION Mask Stick is on sale for only $4 so I added the Watermelon one to my cart. I love it! It applies so easily with no messes. It has a nice red color after application and what’s nice about it, you let it sit on your skin for five minutes (brush your teeth and change into your pajamas during this waiting time) and it’s all done. Very quick and nice treatment to add to your evening routine. 

I also run out of a sleeping face mask. I love those because you just put them on at night and you don’t have to rinse them. They are more like a night cream, but more effective. I opted for SEPHORA COLLECTION Overnight Glow Mask because the price is so good. It also had good reviews! I absolutely love everything about it, the gel texture, the cooling effect and the smell. Works really well! Only $16! 

Last, but not least, I needed a good hair oil to put on my hair before actually washing it. This SEPHORA COLLECTION Multi-Purpose Oil is a multitasker for really a good price! You can use it on your face and body as well. It comes in four different options and now they are on sale for only $5! My hair feels super soft after using it!

My Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products

by // // Comments off

 

Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing Shampoo

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

Schick Intuition Sensitive Care With Natural Aloe Women’s Razor

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish

Caress Daily Silk White Peach and Silky Orange Blossom Body Wash

Renewing Argan Oil Of Morocco Intense Moisturizing Treatment

e.l.f. Bronzer

Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Lotion

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Nose Strips

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor Moisturizing Lipstick

Lady Speed Stick Invisible Dry Antiperspirant Deodorant Shower Fresh

Garnier® SKINACTIVE™ Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Makeup Remover & Cleanser

 

Nowadays most of my skincare and make up products come from Sephora stores, but I still have some old drugstore favorites that I use regularly. Here I’ve gathered all of them for you.  Most of them are under $5! 

For example, the Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing Shampoois one of my most loved shampoos. I love all the brands scents and I just rotate between all of them. I also use their conditioners regularly. 

My all time favorite hair mask is the Renewing Argan Oil Of Morocco Intense Moisturizing Treatment. It’s one of those items I buy over and over again. 

Same goes for the Schick Intuition Sensitive Care With Natural Aloe Women’s Razor. I’ve never found a better option for myself. I love how you can buy the refills separately so you don’t have to buy the razor every time. 

The Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Lotion is one of those lotions I like to use in summer for that bronze glow. It really gives you a nice darker shade if you use it regularly and it doesn’t dirty your clothes. Also, you don’t look orange after using it.

I probably have the whole Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish collection because I pick one color up each time I go to the store. They dry quick and last long enough. Plus they are under $3, so you can’t beat the price!

The Best Eyeshadow Palettes For Fall

by // // Comments off

HUDA BEAUTY Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in Topaz

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Jackie Aina Eyeshadow Palette

URBAN DECAY Naked Honey Palette

WANDER BEAUTY Wanderess™ Rush Eyeshadow Palette

NATASHA DENONA Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette

Dior BACKSTAGE Eyeshadow Palette

e.l.f. Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette Nude Rose Gold

NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Edit Petite Shadow Palette

 

When it comes to makeup, Fall is a perfect season to play with colors. I’ve gathered several eyeshadow palettes that consist of all the colors of Fall – brown, burgundy, forest green, mustard, and purple. There are so many options and everyone can find something.

If you love bold colors, go with the NATASHA DENONA Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette, and play with all the purple and ombre shades it offers. Another good bold palette is the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Edit Petite Shadow Palette. I especially love its mustard and rust eye shadows.

If you prefer something on the safe side, go with all the brown e.l.f. Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette Nude Rose Gondor or the URBAN DECAY Naked Honey Palette.

The palette that I think is very interesting is the WANDER BEAUTY Wanderess™ Rush Eyeshadow Palette. It’s very small and compact and it still offers all the basic Fall colors like brown, burgundy and mustard. I can also see a nice mauve hue in there, one of my favorite shades for Fall.

My Favorite Beauty Products

by // // Comments off

What is my favorite foundation?

 

 

I absolutely love the Even Better Glow Light Reflecting Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 by Clinique. It’s a liquid foundation that is so easy to apply and it gives you subtle coverage in that it doesn’t even show that you have something on, while at the same time, still covering all the imperfections. Yes, this foundation is magic to me and I also like that it also provides sun protection so it’s like a two in one product. I also have the brand’s Chubby in the Nude Foundation Stick, which I use if I don’t want to spend too much time applying makeup as it’s even quicker to use and it also works great. It leaves a more matte look though in comparison to the liquid foundation.

 

What is my favorite eye primer?

 

 

My one and only the URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow Primer Potion – Original. I never cared about any other eye primer than this one. It’s perfect in every way! You can wear your make up 24 hours and it will still look good. Besides that, you won’t get any creases and it glides on smoothly. I can’t say enough good things about this product.

 

What is my favorite highlighter?

 

 

I tried many highlighters, but the one I always go back to is the Benefit Watt’s Up! Cream-to-Powder Highlighter. It really gives you that nice glow and shimmer that I did not get from any other highlighters. It’s definitely one of those products that if you ever get it in a sample size, you’re going to run to get the full size product.

 

What is my favorite perfume?


 

There is no way I can choose between the three I always have in the house: Stella McCartney – Stella, Tocca- Isabel, Lacoste. Lacoste has been with me since high school. I’m on the second bottle of Stella and Isabel is pretty new to me, but definitely one of my favorite Tocca fragrances.

 

What is my favorite hair product? 

 

 

I wish I had discovered the Moroccanoil Treatment earlier, but better later than never. This product does everything for your hair. After applying it the first time, I immediately felt a difference in how easy it was to comb my hair, how soft it felt and how shiny it looked. I tried so many hair products, but this one really stands out. To me, it’s worth its cost and much, much more!
