Just a few items I've purchased within the last month and a half. I bought them to either try them or I needed them. Let me know your thoughts if you've tried them before.
1. Almay Smart Shade Smart Balance in Medium. This comes out of the tube in a white liquid with a greenish tint to it. When you apply to your face, it does change color to match whatever skin tone you have. I like full coverage and for me this is more of a medium coverage or like a tinted moisturizer. I'm not sure if I like or hate this product. I'll probably try it again before making a decision.
2. Maybelline Lash Discovery in black (waterproof). I got this mascara to use on my bottom lashes. The brush is not full sized even though it's a full size tube. The brush is smaller, more like a mini-brush and this works for me because my bottom lashes are sparse and short so I'm able to coat all the lashes.
3. Elf eyebrow kit in medium. I've heard some good reviews on this and some gurus that do like this item. So I picked it up and it's a hit for me! Best $3 spent.
4. Tarte Eyelash Curler. This is my most recent purchase from Sephora. I was in the market for a new curler so while browsing around at Sephora I saw this. It came with a mini tube (3 ml) of their Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara (purple tube in picture) packaged together in a little bag. Total cost $15. The curler works extremely well and I'm also liking the mascara too.
On a recent trip to the outlet, we stopped by the Bath and Body Works store and they had Pearberry in stock!!! I was so excited. We all know you can only get this scent either online or at the outlet. They discontinued this item in stores. Of course, they had one of their amazing sales going on - Buy 3, Get 2 free OR Buy 2, Get 1 Free - or something like that. I picked up 2 bottles of the Pearberry lotion and 2 bottles of the shower gel. The bf picked up Exotic Coconut shower gel for the. I haven't used my Pearberry yet because I'm still trying to use up my Dancing Waters shower gel/cream and the lotion. And also, on another trip to the Bath and Body Works store at the mall, I picked up some hand soap. Another awesome sale going on so I picked up 5 hand soaps - 3 were Dancing Waters (can you guys tell I love this scent, lol) and two other scents - Pomegranate Passion and Mango Margarita. I don't know if these two scents are seasonal or if it will be permanent.
Whoever came up with this idea is genius!!! I'm not sure how many of you know about this but it's a small refillable perfume bottle spray. I found this at Sephora for $15 and it only carries .14 oz or 50 sprays. There's also a window that lets you see how much you have filled up. I had originally bought one with a funnel but that just got messy. I got the perfume all over the place and on my hands so I exchanged it for this one and it's so much easier. All you do is take the top completely off your perfume bottle and then stick the atomizer on top (there's a hole on the bottom) and start pumping. It takes less than a minute to fill up. Gone are the days of carrying around a bottle of perfume!
There's also a similar item out in the market called the Travolo. But I don't know if it's cheaper or more expensive than the one from Sephora.
