Mini Sephora Haul + First Impressions!

Hellooo everyone! I just wanted to chuck in a quick disclaimer here before I jump into the post. I AM SO SORRY for my lack of posts these last few weeks! I moved into a new apartment and have had some major internet issues. Luckily, my internet is now up and blazing so lots of new posts will be coming your way! Woohoo *raises the roof*. Now, on to the Sephora Haul....

Sephora is my shopping kryptonite. I can't resist the lure of all that amazing makeup. Cue some dramatically sad music for the suffering of my wallet. But hey, I do run a beauty blog, so it's totally justifiable, right? Right. I popped into Sephora a couple of weeks ago and didn't do too much damage, so I thought I'd give you a peek into my purchases plus give a quick first impression on some things. Let's get to it....


1. YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Babydoll Mascara

Can we take a moment here to appreciate how gorgeous this packaging is? *angels sing in distance* I don't think it gets much more glamorous than this. I saw some amazing reviews on this mascara and just had to splurge on it. Mascara, after all, is pretty much my favorite beauty product. My first impression of this so far is HOLY CRAP this is amazing mascara. It's lengthening, seperating, and volumizing. It manages to make my lashes look amazing but it's not "heavy" if that makes sense. It's really light and doesn't weigh the lashes down or make them look spidery. I freakin' love it so far, but will continue to test it out. I will have a full review of this in the coming weeks!

2. Bobbi Brown Under Eye Corrector

I have wanted to try this product for like eons now (okay, that's a little dramatic) but if you have been reading my blog, you know I struggle with some pretty gnarly dark under eye circles. This Bobbi Brown corrector is salmon colored, which is supposed to cancel out that deep purple color of dark under eye circles. I have tried it out a few times, and so far I am pretty impressed. This product has been hyped up quite a bit, so I was a little leery, BUT it seems to work as well as everyone has been saying. It totally cancels out any darkness. The shade I chose is "Light to Medium Bisque". I have had this crease on me a tad, so I'm still working out just how I should apply it. I will also review this fully very soon!

3. Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm

Again, I just have to appreciate some pretty packaging. I have read tons of amazing things about this lip balm so it has been on my makeup wish list for a little while now. The price can be a little shocking, but if you can justify it, this is an amazing lip balm. I have never tried a lip balm that makes my lips so smooth and so amazing looking. The claims that this is a plumping lip balm are completely accurate. I smear a little of this on and it's like "HELLOOO luscious lips". I can't get enough of this right now!

4. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

Okay, I may be a little obsessed with buying under eye concealers! What can I say, I'm just trying to find the best of the best. I bought this concealer with the intent on using it under the eyes so I got it in a lighter shade than my skin for brightening purposes. I picked up the lightest shade "Chantilly" but be warned it is VERY light. I can make it work, but it's definitely paler than I expected it to be. This concealer can also be used for blemishes and over cover-up purposes as well if you were to purchase it in your skin shade. I think I am most impressed with how much coverage this concealer gives, yet it's not cakey. I haven't tried it out too much yet, so I will definitely update with a full review. But so far, I like it!

5. GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD mask/treatment

I was so happy to find a small jar of this at Sephora for a cheaper price because I have been dying to try this! I've yet to try it out but have heard amazing things. I will definitely review this once I use it up!

Not a crazy amount of products, but all things I've been dying to try. I will have reviews on all these products in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes out! Thanks so much for reading and I hope you have an AH-mazing day!

xoxo,
Paige
