Sephora Birthday Gift 2016

Every year Sephora comes out with a birthday gift for their Beauty Insiders. This years gift was a choice between a duo of Fresh skincare products and  Marc Jacob makeup duo. 

This  Marc Jacobs makeup duo contains the Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner and the Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Both items are in deluxe sample sizes. 

 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a beautiful deep rose, neutral shade. It's neutral enough that it will suit everyone and nude enough to be worn daily. The formula is really creamy and I'd say that it dries down to a semi-matte. While it is really comfortable at first, I did find it to be slightly drying after an hour.

 I've used the Highliner Eyeliner when it came in the Sephora Eyeliner Favourites set before and really loved it. It's super pigmented, glides on and does not budge afterwards.

Overall, I'd say that this year's set has to be my most favourite set that I've gotten so far. Sephora has really outdone itself. Marc Jacobs is rather expensive and this is a great chance for everyone to be able to try it.

[REVIEW] Origins Bestsellers Set + Bite Beauty Kir Royale Swatches (250 point reward)

Oh Sephora, how you tempt me so with all your fabulous holiday gift sets.

As a result, I didn't notice that I was running out of everything - eye cream, moisturizer, cleanser, etc. So when browsing Sephora one night, I saw this skincare set. It had everything that I needed so I didn't hesitate in making a purchase. 

The Origins Bestseller Set retails for $42 USD / $50 CDN (and is said to be of $100 USD / $125 CDN value) on Sephora.com - just enough to also qualify for free shipping!

What's In My Beauty Pouch

As someone who who is passionate about beauty, I've accumulated quite a lot of makeup over the pass years. One of the ways I've come up with to stay aware of what I already own and to actually use it is to put things in my makeup pouch. Imagine a situation where you are in a rush and you didn't have time to get ready, one of the things you want to bring along is your makeup pouch right? This ensures that you have all that you need and it forces you to use the makeup that you have.

Experience Hauling from Sephora Online and What I Purchased

One of my sleepless nights lead me to browsing on Sephora. I haven't shopped there in a while because I was noticing a trend - I was never reaching for any of the makeup I buy from Sephora. This is because of two things:
