SEPHORA HAUL

Hi everybody!

 

When I was in Rome, I also visited Sephora and bought a few things from there. There are also some products that I didn't buy from Sephora, but I thought I would add them here anyway. Most of these products have already become my favourites. Anyway, onto my purchases.

SKIN-CARE:

Sephora Moisturizing Hand Cream in Lagoon, Monoi and Mango

 

I love these hand creams, I bought one from France last year and regretted not buying more. These hand creams are so moisturizing, but they don't feel your hands feeling greasy. They absorb very quickly and smell absolutely amazing! This time I bought three of these. Lagoon has a very fresh scent and monoi and mango have quite a sweet scent.

Sephora Creamy Body Wash in Lagoon and Monoi

These body washes are great, because they don't dry out the skin, like some other body washes. And most importantly they smell so good!

MAKE-UP

The Beauty Blender Sponge

I finally got my hands on the famous Beauty Blender. It makes applying foundation and concealer so easy. It gives kind of an airbrushed finish and doesn't leave your foundation cakey. Before, I used the Real Techniques sponge, which is a good dupe for the Beauty Blender if you're on a budget, but I would recommend buying the Beauty Blender for a few simple reasons. The Beauty Blender is smaller, so it's easier to apply foundation to your under-eye area. Also, I've used my Real Techniques sponge for about two months and it's already broken. So, if you're someone who uses foundation or concealer daily, I would recommend buying the original Beauty Blender.

L'Occitane Sublime Beauty Cream

This is one of the products that I didn't buy from Sephora. I bought this before going to Rome, simply because it has SPF30. I was looking for a foundation or bb cream that would have SPF 30 and this is the only one that I could find. Fortunately, this is a great bb cream, it dries to matte finish, so I don't even have to put any powder on top of it. It also smells nice and is very easy to blend with your fingers.

Too Faced Dark Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

First of all, how amazing is the fact that this bronzer smells like chocolate?! The packaging is so beautiful and the product inside is amazing. This bronzer is so pigmented, you only need a little bit when applying it. This is definitely the best bronzer I've ever used, I highly recommend it!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

 

I've heard so many people talking about how great this mascara is, so I decided to try it. I have to say that I really like it, it makes my eyelashes very voluminous. I wouldn't recommend this to people who have very oily skin, because it smudges quite easily.

Benefit Erase Paste

I bought this, because I needed a full coverage concealer. This concealer is thick and sticky, so it covers practically anything. Because it's so thick, you have to use the tiniest amount on blemishes. The only downside to this product is that it only comes in three shades. I bought the lightest one and it's still a little bit darker, than I would have wanted. But overall I love this product.

 

There was a very friendly woman at the Benefit counter, who gave me a free sample of the Benefit Lollibalm. It's a tinted hydrating lip balm, I've tried it once and I really liked it, but I problably won't purchase it in full size.

 

 

Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop in Volver

 

I really wanted to try something from Marc Jacobs cosmetics and decided to try the Twinkle Pop. It's basically an eyeshadow stick. The packaging is so luxurious and the product is awesome. I bought the gold one and it's so pigmented and beautiful, I love it! I can't wait to try out some other make-up products from Marc Jacobs.

 

 

Sephora Color Adapt Gloss

 

This is a lip gloss that adapts to the pH of your lips to create a personalized pink color. It has a beautiful hot pink flat applicator and the gloss smells really nice. This lip gloss turn my lips to a very natural pink, that's more on the darker side. I love that it's very moisturizing, but it's a little bit sticky. Overall, I really enjoy using this gloss.

 

 

 

FRAGNANCE:

 

I bought two fragnances and bought both of them from the Helsinki Airport.

 

Victoria's Secret Bombshell Body Mist

 

I love this body mist so much, the scent is absolutely amazing. It's more on the sweeter side, but at the same time I feel like the scent is quite fresh. It's a body mist, so the scent doesn't really last very long. In the future I will definitely buy the original bombshell perfume.

 

 

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

 

This is something that I've been wanting to buy for years, I love all the fragnances from Marc Jacobs, but this one is my favourite. This definitely has a fresh scent, as the name says. The bottle is so beautiful, I love the flowers on the cap of the bottle. And ofcourse I absolutely love the scent of this perfume. The scent lasts for a really long time, which is great.





 

 

 

 

That's it for this time, there wasn't too many products, but I am super happy with all of them, especially the fragnances.
