So, I should seriously be ban from Sephora and MAC and all other stores that sell makeup. Rarely do I go in for something and come out with only what I initially intended to buy.
That being said, I was actually pretty good today and didn't go completely crazy **cough cough** almost bought YSL lip products **cough cough**
If you more details about what I bought, keep reading!
IMPORTANT: MAC repackaged their Mineralized Skin Finish Natural (finally)!!!!
This was the product that I actually needed to get today, I'm the shade Light. The new packaging is sleek and black and very MAC plus it now has a mirror on the inside!
(my hair is reflecting in the mirror and its pretty dark so it's hard to tell but there is one there!)
I've gone through so many of these, it may be my most purchased product ever but I love them. I will either wear it just over some concealer when I'm having a lazy day or I use it to set my foundation when I actually do a full face of makeup.
My next two purchases from MAC stemmed from seeing a girl with hot pink lips (which are really on trend at the moment) and I decided that I needed to be able to have hot pink lips because I loved them.
I picked up the limited edition (I believe) lip liner in Process Magenta per recommendation from one of the MAC girl after she saw me checking out a bright fuchsia lipstick. The lipstick (one of the mineralized ones which I absolutely love the formula of BTW) was sold out! :( However my girl came to the rescue finding it's twin sister in color Hopelessly Devoted. I had wanted to try one of the patentpolish lip pencils anyways so I wasn't too bummed out and bought them both.
LOVE. I wore this combo out tonight and it actually lasted so well through eating and drinking. The glossy finish wears off but your lips still look great and saturated with color. They shades actually differ a little bit from each other so you could even create an ombre effect if your heart so desired.
From Sephora I picked up one of the Urban Decay Naked Lip Glosses. I saw them in a magazine and almost ordered online but I wanted to be able to see them in person and swatch them before buying. I got the color Rule 34, its a natural looking color that has a bronzy glow. These kind of colors can actually make you look more sun kissed and honestly I need all of the help I can get in that department. The packaging is also beautiful which is always a plus and it has a decent size applicator (bigger than most of the MAC applicators).
I also finally caved and got an Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic's Lip Tar. I ended up getting the color Pretty Boy which as you can see in the picture above, is matching my theme of hot pink/fuchsia lips. I was very close to getting Nylon which is straight up neon hot pink but I got Pretty boy instead because it has a little more of a blue base pink tone and its slightly more subtle and I will probably get more wear out of it.
It's also matte and very close in color to the lip liner I bought from MAC. I look forward to wearing this soon and thankfully it comes with it's own little lip brush to apply. It is also SO SO SO pigmented and the smallest bit can do the whole job so this tube will last me a long time.
Finally, thanks to Kathie Lee and Hoda this morning, I got the Sephora brand Gradual self-tanning face water to try. I was intrigued because I really like face waters and it's a tanner but is completely clear. I have sensitive skin so I have a lot of trouble using tanners on my face - I actually use the Victoria's Secret Self Tanner after sun lotion/gel that they no longer sell because it is light and gives the perfect amount of color. Since they no longer sell the one I use, I'm in the market for a new one and figured why not try this!?
Let me know if you've tried any of these products or are thinking about trying them & recommendations are always welcome!
