Sephora Time!

Oh you guys, you know it's Sephora Friends & Family time, right? FF2010 gets you 20% off any website order through November 3 (I think.) I knew this was coming so I waited and planned and obsessively edited my wishlist and researched and read reviews. Your basic shopping obsession, makeup style. It's what I do.

I made my order over the weekend and now impatiently waiting for:


BeneFit Benetint. I reviewed this on my other blog a while back and I still stand by it. I know it's old school, like Clinque Black Honey or Nars Orgasm, but people, it's good stuff.  It took me a couple of years to work through my last bottle, so even though it's expensive, it lasts for freaking ever. Oh, and I only use it on my cheeks because lipstain just looks weird on me.

Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner. Best Liner Ever.  I am already a complete slave to the Primer Potion and now I love the 24/7 liner just as much. They are soft and smudgy and then don't budge.Sure, they have crazy glam-rock colors, but they also have subtle shimmery taupe and plum and brown. My everyday favorite is Underground (a taupey brown color) but I wanted something more interesting so I'm trying Stash, a golden green. We shall see.

Laura Mercier Flawless Face Kit. This is a deal, people. I already use (and love) the LM tinted moisturizer and this kit contains a smaller version of that, along with the primer, concealer, powder, sponge, powder puff, make up bag and two full size brushes. Not inexpensive but who doesn't want a flawless face?

I'm also getting some random samples which will probably make me want to buy yet more products because I am just that easy. Are you ordering anything? Do tell.

  1. I ordered Benefits Hello Flawless after trying a sample and declaring then and there that it was the One Thing Missing From My Life. I'm wearing it in the yellow dress pictures and I swear my skin looks airbrushed.

  2. I would. Sigh. But alas, I'm not shopping right now. My Benetint has lasted FOREVER and I still have a ton of it. I have worn it as a lip stain but I find that it doesn't stay on very well and only the interior of my lips stay stained which looks weird.

    I'm very tempted by the Hello Flawless that Marianne mentioned but I hesitate to buy it without trying since I don't know what color to order and there's no Sephora nearby.

  3. I've been looking for a new eyeliner. I'll have to check the UD one out.

  4. Stash is a lovely colour. I have a mess of the 24/7s, and found that layering the more vibrant colours under a calming brown or bronze gives an awesome, subtle effect of the 1st.

  5. Stash is my favorite eyeliner ever.

  6. I am so bitter that the Laura Mercier kit doesn't come in Fair. The Nude is too dark for my albino skin.

    I need that Hello Flawless. Now.

  7. Stash was a great choice. I just used my F&F discount to buy a new Stash pencil because I finally used mine up. I also wanted to try something new, so I ordered Underground. I guess great minds think alike!

  8. Eyeliner twinz! I also want Rockstar and Gunmetal. I believe I am what they call, "a junkie."

    I hope you like Underground! It's my favorite.

  9. Ohhh. I didn't know. Shizzle, so much filling of my shopping cart and then mostly emptying it before buying to do.

  10. I stocked up on some basics, like my Bare Minerals foundation and blush. I also got Tarte's Lights Camera Splashes mascara. So far it seems like the perfect everyday mascara. Plus look how cute the tube is:

  11. I use the F&F sale to stock up on Laura Mercier concealer and DiorShow mascara. I'm so boring!
