Mini Sephora Haul

Hi there!

Did you read my End of Semester Makeup Wishlist? If not go read that here, what I share in this post has to do with that one, don’t miss it.

Here is what happened… I went to Sephora!

I don’t like waiting… and technically the semester is over… I just have this week of my college practice and I am done until August… It was the perfect time to reward my self, don’t you think? And ever since I went “window shopping” in the Sephora app and created my Makeup Wishlist, I have been dying to try new stuff. So, it happened.

This two first things where not on my wishlist, but they are a necessity. I love this belief The true cream – aqua bomb as my moisturizer for the day. It’s actually not a cream, it has a smooth gel like consistency that I feel my skin absorbs really well and l feel hydrated for the whole day. I wrote about it in my Likes and Dislikes post back in September, you can read it here.

The belief Moisturizing eye bomb I have never tried, but my eye cream was running low and they didn’t have it at Sephora. This one looks like the face moisturizer, like it has the same consistency. I think it feels very refreshing in the eye area, which is a plus with how hot the climate has been. I have been using for a couple of days and so far so good.

The second thing I added to my basket, was this beautiful Gradient Sunlit Bronzer in Sunrise Waves from Becca Cosmetics. And just like I said in my last post is perfect! I have been using it everyday since I bought it and I love it. It gives a pretty, luminous, bronze look. The best part is that it is really pigmented, so you don’t need too much product for a subtle natural look. I know this product will be my favorite this summer.

I had a hard time choosing a bronzer. When I went and swatch the O Mega Coconut Perfect Tan it just disappeared in my skin tone, I was dissapointed to say the least. So I went a couple of times around the store swatching different bronzers, searching for a good one. A employee also helped, he showed me Hoola from Benefit, one I don’t remember from Bobbi Brown and this one, Casino by Nars. Of the 3 I liked the last one better, since I was looking for something more natural to create a perfect summer tan look I chose this one. And it’s just what I wanted. It looks natural, like I am just tan and paired with the Gradient Sunlit Bronzer it looks really good and I obsessed with my cheek combo.

So talking about my cheek combo, I also bought a highlighter. I know, you are chocked. I can’t help it. Highlighters are my favorite product right now. In my makeup wishlist I said I was thinking about buying Moonstone by Becca Cosmetics, but when I was there, and saw Rose Quartz, I fell in love. I so so pretty. Nothing that I could say will make it justice. Just trust me when I say it really is pretty. This last 3 products have me obsessed with my face makeup, it doesn’t look harsh, they look natural all together and they give me a awesome luminous, glittery (in the good way), natural, tan look. Believe me when I say that this are the only 3 cheek products I will be using this summer.

And there you have it, this is what I have bought myself from my makeup wishlist. The Vault Collection from Morphe X Jaclyn Hill was not available on the 26 of June like they first announced it, because they identify some inconsistency in the palettes, so I am still waiting for that to come out. And the other product I haven’t bought is the Vitamin Enriched Fase Base Moisturizer, of course I swatched it when I went to Sephora, and it definitely felt moisturizing and good for the skin, but it will have been too much that day, so that one is in the getting soon list.

Have you treated yourself with something you really wanted recently? If so tell me what it was. If not, tell me whats on your list of things you want to do or buy just because you deserve it.

Never stop dreaming,
