Sephora Haul

I did a Sephora haul last month with a birthday gift card and have finally had to chance to put it together to show you.  I will describe each one and if I have tried it and what my thoughts are. 

Urban Decay 24 hour All Nighter Liquid Foundation

First off, I purchased the Urban Decay 24 Hour All Nighter Liquid Foundation in the color 2.0.  This foundation claims full coverage with a matte finish. The formula has a higher amount of pigment so a little goes a long way.  It's important to choose to right shade by testing them out and getting a sample from Sephora before purchasing it.  This foundation oxidizes so it does turn a shade or two darker depending on your skin.  I love this foundation but I try to only use a little as it will cover my entire face and neck with just a little bit.  You don't want cake face! I give it a thumbs up and worth the $40 price tag.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Dusty Rose

This is a long lasting, full coverage matte lipstick for $20.  It has a very saturated color and is smear resistant.  I wore this for 2 hours and only saw a little come off on my bottom lip from my mouth.  It is drying to the lips as in most matte lipsticks are so later I topped it off with a gloss.  Me wearing it!

Tocca in Florence

I used some of my points to purchase this perfume.  The retail price for a large bottle of this is $68 but getting the small one and using my points, it was free. Florence is described as "A Parisian beauty and sophisticate, Florence conjures memories of old-world Paris.  It is an alluring combination of Italian bergamot and crushed violet petals. Ivory gardenia combined with blonde wood evokes a sophisticated and feminine scent that conjures the elegance of a Parisian sophisticate." Italian Bergamot, Grapefruit Leaves, Green Pear, Apple, Ivory Gardenia, Crushed Violet Petals, Jasmine, Tuberose, Blue Iris, Blonde Wood, White Musk.  It is a very feminine and romantic smell.  I love it!

Sephora Collection Lip Mini in Belly Dancing

I received a free lipstick from Sephora for making a $25 purchase.  I always look for codes on Sephora's website so I can try something new for free.  Perfect for the fall and winter!

Free Samples

The rest of my Sephora order were samples.  See below for more information.

FlowerbyKenzo

This luxurious and unique fragrance appeals to the feminine and sensual woman. As precious as it is addictive, it reveals the essence of the Flower woman is the description from Sephora's website.  I wore it today and it was not too strong and really did smell very feminine and sensual.  It seems to be lasting on my body for a long time, but not overpowering. It is very feminine and refined.

Atelier Cologne Collection Azur – Mandarine Glaciale

I have yet to try this cologne but from reading on it, it appears to have a citrus fragrance with notes of mandarin, ginger and heart of vetiver.  It is suppose to be sophisticated, succulent and passionate smelling.  That sounds right up my alley. 

Earth's Nectar Hair Care Green Olive & Lavender Scalp Oil

This scalp oil appears to have a lot of uses depending on your hair.  This multitasking product combats hair loss, supports natural, healthy hair growth, controls itchy scalp, and calms the senses. Great for all hair types including thinning and oily, the gentle, quick-absorbing formula removes excess buildup, strengthens, and retains moisture and shine. It leaves hair looking and feeling healthier and more manageable.  I don't personally have issues with hair loss, itchy scalp or excess buildup but I will try to use it as a deep conditioning treatment to help strengthen cuticles and soften my hair.

And that's a wrap.  Thank you for reading and letting me share my goodies with you.  I hope some of you find even the samples helpful if you are looking for something special or even different to try.
