I don't usually wear a ton of of makeup, so obviously this isn't the type of post you'd expect to see from me. But Sephora had a friends & family 20% off sale and I went BUCK WILD. I gave myself an excuse to splurge around my birthday and here's what I got/my reviews!
1. I spy the iconic SK-II and let me tell you, it is truly iconic. I only use it once a day and even though I'm supposed to do it on a daily basis, it makes a huge difference in my skin and it helps me look more awake! The way I apply it is after washing and toning my face, I'l take a cotton pad and put some of the product on there and try to soak it into my face so my skin absorbs all the nutrients it has to re-fuel my cells and keep my skin looking great!
Only downside despite it being like some magical water, is that its super expensive.
Review: 9/10
2. Ah yes! Laura Mercier's products are something that always caught my eye but I never had a chance to really explore them until now. The first product I got from her is the Translucent Setting Powder which is really nice because its really light on the skin and keeps my face from being oily all day! I specifically loved the packaging on this one because I was able to get a duo package that came with the powder and the puff in their holiday collection which saves you more than buying them separately and you get some super cute packaging!

3. So the powder's partner in crime has to be this tinted moisturizer because not only is it super light on the skin and provides great coverage, but it also makes your skin so glow-y! I absolutely love this because it also provides some SPF which has been such an important part of my routine to prevent any sun damage.

4. HOLY HIGHLIGHTER. One, this packaging is so stunning and I could not stop staring at it but two, it makes me feel like a sparkling princess! It has that pink-ish color but the highlighter itself is rather translucent so you get a nice glow but not this crazy tint. It’s still definitely pigmented and goes on very nicely.
Review: 8/10
5. You can never go wrong with bronzer to give you that nice contour and add some depth to your look. I'm not a big makeup gal so I would previously use drugstore bronzer but I felt like it was time to upgrade since I found myself incorporating it into my daily routine. Laura Mercier's bronzer is perfect for having a natural contour that adds some color to your face without making it look like you put on a lot of makeup.

6. R.I.P to my elf eyelash curler and hello to this new baby! I used my E.L.F eyelash curler for quite some time until it could not do the job anymore so I figured it was time for an upgrade. I love the look and packaging of this eyelash curler because its definitely unique and makes me feel like a boss woman using it! I think this curler is great for length, but isn't consistent on providing volume consistently.

7. LETS GET NAKED. This palate is iconic and I'm probably late in the game for this but WOW. I'm obsessed with the champagne color scheme of eyeshadow and the reason why I love this palate is because it has beautiful packaging but all the colors are nicely pigmented and give me the perfect champagne or rosy look when I want it.

8. So I still haven't actually tried any products from Rhianna's Fenty Beauty line but when I was searching for a new highlighter, I knew this was gonna be my new best friend. Not only am I sold on nice and pink packaging, but I love the shape of the brush for my cheekbones when I'm applying highlighter. This brush lets me focus on the points of where I want to apply the highlighter rather than other brushes where it’s more spread out.

9. I swear by fresh beauty, especially when it comes to their lip treatments. They come in a ton of different tints that bring natural color to your lips while also giving them the ultimate moisture and providing SPF 15! Its a little pricey, but its worth it and I've literally been using this product for YEARS.
Review: 10/10
10. I've always been eyeing these lipsticks since I was probably 15 but I could never convince myself that I needed one until now. I love this color specifically because its still a natural looking color but you definitely see the pigmentation and the color it brings to your lips. I like this lipstick in particular because once I put it on, it stays creamy and smooth unlike other lipsticks which dry up on my lips rather quickly and dont keep its color all day. Also the packaging on this baby might have sold me on it....
