Went on a beauty shopping spree!

LOL Yesterday, I went to Sephora to purchase the infamous Nars Orgasm Blush/Bronzer combo.  While I was there, I was looking around, and $130 later... oh no!  LOL

I got the blush... which is very nice.
I got a facial mask... Sephora brand, which the man spoke highly about.
I got an eye treatment... which elminates bags/circles under eyes, in 2 min! (tested in store)
and I got a primer... which I had read great things about.

Plus, since I'm a rewards card member (free membership), I got a Guava body cream for spending over xx amount.  And since my bday is coming up, they gave me my gift, a set of 3 lip glosses!

I got home and cleaned out my makeup area, and tossed a BUNCH of old stuff and organized it all.  I'm so excited.  LOL

Re: Went on a beauty shopping spree!

  • BTW, I think this is the first time I actually buy at Sephora, at least for myself. 

    And I got a sample of the perfume I want for my bday... Burberry Classic Summer.  I went to buy it last yr, but they were sold out already (limited edition for summer, duh)!

  • OMG how friggin awesome!! Sephora is one of my FAVORITES.. I could easily spend bucketloads over there. Score on the three lipglosses! And happy early birthday!

    The only downside of Sephora is that they don't sell MAC anymore, which is where I get most of my makeup. I went on a spree the other day at Macy's, though, which is MAC city.... I got a new foundation, a killer foundation brush and a paint pot in Rubenesque (which is kind of like a goldish pink shimmery primer/eyeshadow - it is AWESOME...). Then I went to Clarins and spent $50 on the Hydraquench face cream and I have now become obsessive about smearing some on at all hours of the day.

    I use Orgasm as an every day blush, it is fantastic. What kind of primer did you get?

  • ohh sounds like you had a very nice shopping spree! I probably need to go on one soon too considering it's been FOREVER since I last bought make-up. Enjoy you're new stuff :)

    I actually tried MAC earlier this yr (foundation and powder) and hated it!  The Fashion and Beauty board speaks so highly about them, so I tried them out.  Left my face super oily... didn't like the finish.  Luckily it was at Nordstorm, so I was able to return it.  LOL

    Primer - Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.

    Oh, and I forgot... I also bought a foundation brush... mine was falling apart.

  • Aw, that's a shame. I am in love with MAC products, they leave my face picture perfect :)

    Oh and the Smashbox primer is the best... I use their eyeshadows sometimes too, but only for day wear. They aren't as pigmented as the MAC shadows.
