Recent Sephora Purchase




Happy Friday everyone!

I have this pounding headache that is begging me to get some rest but I've received this order two days ago already and wanted to get this post up before I go lie down. I'm also exhausted from work and will have to work on Sunday as well. Boo! Other than that, I do have some exciting things to show you....





I've been seeing a few nice things on Sephora's sale section. I got the Philosophy Christmas Cookie shower gel for $14.00. I can't believe I was actually running low on body wash and needed to restock. These Philosophy shower gel last me months and they smell freaking delicious! I think the last one I used up last me at least 3 months. It smells just like a sugar cookie, sweet and yummy.





Next up is the Sephora + Pantone Universe Elemental Molten Liquid Liners, on sale for $10.00. This was the main reason for my haul. You know how much I love my eyeliners and for the price this is a pretty good deal. They are the exact same size as the Glitter Strobe Set and come with a thin brush applicator. The emerald green eyeliner in this set is pretty much the exact same one as one metallic liner from the Glitter Strobe. 








From left to right:
1. A shimmery dark blue with sparkling blue, purple, and teal shimmers. It's not fully opaque in one pass but it's not too bad.
2. Metallic shimmery emerald green. This one stains but it's gorgeous.
3. A medium grey lavender with a very subtle pink/green shimmer. It looks a little bit duochrome in the tube but on the swatch you see more of the pink shimmer. Very unusual liner color and I love it for that reason.
4. very dark brown with a matte finish.

I'm very sad to announce that this set is sold out by the time I received it so you will not be able to order it from Sephora; however, it is available on Ebay for less than $20.00.





Another item from the sale section is the Urban Decay Glide On 24-7 liner in the shade Covet, $9.50. They still have 10 other shades that are on sale so this is your chance to get them for half price. Covet is a dark shimmery green with a bit of teal to it. As always these UD liners are smooth, creamy, pigmented, and last fairly well.






Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, $18.00. I got the smaller bottle, which is .33 oz. This one was not on sale but I wanted to try it cause I read so many good reviews. So far I have not found any face primer that I was impressed with so I am crossing my fingers that this one is THE ONE.





I used a promo code to get this free deluxe sample size fragrance. This is Gucci Flora Glamorous Magnolia. It smells really nice. I like it. Don't know for sure if I love it yet but it's the kind of scent I typically go for. It has a fresh floral scent and just a bit of sweetness to it. I like it most when it's just been applied. Once the scent dissipate, I can smell more of the sandalwood and musk, which I'm not too crazy about. It's one of those scents that is perfect for any occasion.

Notes:Freesia, Green Leaves, Citrus Zest, Peony, Magnolia, Musk, Sandalwood, Warm Chocolate Accord.






And lastly the free samples:

  • Fresh Rose Face Mask
  • Alterna Bamboo Anti-Frizz shampoo, conditioner, and treatment oil
  • Cover FX foundation
  • Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Liquid foundation

I'm seeing some new added items into the Sephora sales section and I am itching to make another purchase...let's see if I can help myself.

Tried any of these products? Tell me what you think...Oh and have a wonderful weekend as well! :)

    1. Yes they are nice. The green would be a repeat color for me. I guess it's ok.

    1. It's not that big. Probably the same amount as two small vile sample combined together.

  7. Those body washes make me hungry just reading the names! :) You should do some nude/bronze/smokey eyes looks, you haven't done any looks for awhile! :)

    1. I know I've been lazy, eheh. They are also the most time consuming to do as well. I will try to do one soon :)

  8. I bet the Flora Gucci smells good. Those molten liquid liners look awesome. I don't think UD can do any wrong. I love that shade.

    1. The perfume is really growing on me. I might end up buying the full size. I have so many eyeliners already so it was hard to settle with just Covet, lol.
