Sephora Suggestions

Sephora Friends & Family is starting this week which means 20% off everything... at Sephora... Yes please!!! :) This place is like heaven for me!!

I thought I would give you guys some suggestions on products I would recommend trying.

 

The first thing I recommend getting is an eyeshadow primer. This my favorite eyeshadow primer by far. I plan on having a battle of the primers on here shortly. But I think this works great if you have oily eyelids and will make your eyeshadow stay all day. This does come in a couple of different types but I've only used the original type, which is pictured below. This retails for $18. Click here to go to read reviews on Sephora's website

 

Another product I would recommend is the Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer pencil. I bought this a couple of months ago and I love it! It's a great concealer. It definitely lasts all day long on your skin. I've only used it for blemishes/redness cover up and not under my eyes. But it's a really creamy nice formula. I have it in the color DEA which is the the 2nd lightest shade and says it's ivory beige for light to medium complexions. The only downside to this product is that you have to sharpen it. This retails for $18 as well and can be found here.

 

Another recommendation would be the Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. This stuff is AMAZING!!! I bought this last year after a friend recommended it to me. This stuff does work. It will make your makeup stay on all day long. This stuff is great in the summer when it's blazing hot out and your sweating your butt off. I normally only use this on days when I have plans after work or to special events. But I know some people use it on a every day basis, which is fine as well. There are 2 other formulas it comes in: De-Slick Oil Control setting spray (for Oily skin people) or a Dew Me Moisturizing setting spray (for dry skin people). I have only used the All nighter kind, I recently purchased the De-Slick from a different website and will be trying it out. A bottle of this will last you a long time. This retails for $29 for 4 oz. Click the name to go to product: All-Nighter, De-Slick, Dew-Me

 

 

 

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes is something else I would recommend. I already talked about this these blushes on my last post here. The kit I talked about last week is something I would recommend getting. That kit can be found here here. The full size blushes I own are Blissful, Dollface, Exposed, Peaceful. Out of the 4 I own I would say to get Exposed. This is a nude blush that would go with any eye look you are going for. Retail for these are $25.

An eyeshadow palette I would recommend getting would be the Stila In the Light palette. this palette comes with 10 eye shadows and an eyeliner. I bought this palette at NY Imats in April and let you me tell you it's gotten a lot of love since then. I love that it comes from a matte cream shade that's great as a highlight and a matte dark brown for putting in your crease. My favorite color of all out of this palette is Kitten, which is one of Stila's best selling eyeshadow colors. Kitten is the top row, 2nd one in from the left. The colors are great for a natural look and the night sky (grayish color) and black can add a lot to look. It comes with the smudge stick waterproof eye liner in Damsel, which is also great. Damsel is a really dark brown color and looks great with any look I have done with this palette so far. It also lasts a long time. Retail for the palette is $39 and can be found here. The eyeliner alone retails for $20 so this palette is quite the deal. I can do a more in depth review of this palette with swatches/looks if you are interested. Please let me know!

 

I hope this helps you guys if you are interested in purchasing anything from the Sephora Friends & Family sale. The sale is starting this week Thursday the 18th. I will be sure to post on here as well as my Facebook and Twitter accounts the code when I get it.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!! Happy shopping!
