Sephora Rouge Sale Haul | First Impressions
So, here's the thing...I originally was not going to purchase anything from the sale. I know, can you imagine?! But, then I thought, I can't not get anything...it's for the blog! So, I {quickly} caved and picked up a few goodies:
I have been testing this for a few days and so far, my skin looks great! I was a bit nervous to use this with the thought that my skin might get very dry but it's actually been fine. I have been using it every night and when I wake up I feel like my skin is clearer and glowing. I am going to continue to use this and report back once I have a better grasp of how my skin really does with this.
A classic! I am obsessed with this moisturizer but with a $50 price point, I rarely purchase a full-sized bottle. So, when I saw this as a 100 point perk, I snatched it up immediately! This moisturizer smells like an orange Dreamsicle, it's divine! The amount of glow this gives my skin is insane so I like to use this when I am not wearing any makeup so my skin really shines - literally.
This product, and all other LuLu products, had horrible reviews on the Sephora website. So, when I saw it as a sample, I could not resist but getting it to try for myself! I did test this in the store as well and I remember it feeling very silicone-y, almost like a primer - it was weird. I have not tested it out on my face yet but when I do I'll let you know!
This was a freebie and an interesting one at that! I have never used anything CBD (or otherwise) related so I am interested to see how this works.
I was very intrigued by the idea of this product. While I don't think it's new, the concept of brow pencil on one end and highlighter on the other just makes sense! I also like that this is a "Clean at Sephora" product as I want to try more goodies within that category. After testing this for a few days I think I can say...I am a huge fan! This glides on so well and give me really naturally full looking brows. I love the highlight end of this too; I just wish that one was as easy to blend out as the pencil side.
I read the reviews of The Good Brow and the only real complaint I saw was that there was no pencil sharpener included. So, I bought this one! It has one small hole and one large so I can get a lot of use out of this no matter what product I need it for.
The amount of times I've put this in my cart and then found a reason to take it out is astonishing. I decided it was time to try this cult favorite concealer! I have say, now I get it...this is amazing! It's somehow so lightweight and airy yet medium-to-full coverage. I don't know how they do it but I am impressed. I got the shade Vanilla and it's perfect for me - absolutely spot on! I love this and will certainly be purchasing the full-size once this runs out.
I will never forget being told by an esthetician that I had puffy eyes which extended to the tops of my cheek bones. I can't unsee it now! So, I am always looking for products that will calm my puffy under eyes. I was intrigued when I saw these so in my cart they went. I put them in the fridge and popped them onto my under eyes on Monday morning; they seemed to help a lot! The eye masks felt nice on the skin and did help with the puffiness. My one complaint is that they were sliding just a bit as I was making myself coffee and breakfast while they did their thang. Other than that, I really like these!
I think I nailed it with this sale haul! Usually there are one or two duds in there that I end up needed to return, but not this time. I am so happy with everything I picked up! I don't think I can even pick a favorite because they're all so amazing. However, if I was forced to pick on - ya know, if my life depended on it or something - it would be the NARS Concealer. It's just so creamy and long-wearing; I can't get enough!
