Play! by Sephora January '18 ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be showing you what I got in the first Play! by Sephora box of the year! I know this is a bit late but I haven't had time to go get this package from the front office. I finally got it earlier today and I'm so excited about the products. Let's get right into what I got!

THEME: Happy You Year!
Lancome Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base: I tried this years ago and don't really remember how I felt about it so I'm excited to use it again and see what I think.
GLAMGLOW Super Cleanse Clearing Cream-to-Foam Cleanser: This I have tried before as a reward from Sephora. I love anything Glamglow puts out and so does my skin!
Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer: I got this exact sample size a couple of months ago from Sephora but have yet to use it haha. I love trying out new primers so I'll finally use this.
Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream: I've only ever tried about 3 eye creams and to be honest it's not a part of my skin care routine which probably isn't good. I should start incorporating eye cream into my routine so this is a perfect start!
Olehenriksen Hygge Hydraclay Detox Mask: I was so excited to find this in my bag because I'm a huge fan of the brand and face masks! I'm super I'm going to love this.
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Mask: Again, I love trying hair masks! Any masks I'm all for. I've tried a heat protectant from this brand and I really liked it so I'm sure this will be good to me as well.

Overall, this first box of the year is great! I'm super excited about all of these products. I'm going to start reviewing a product on my instagram stories after I've used it for a couple of times so look out for that! Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Violet Voss Holy Grail palette swatches + review! ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be swatching and reviewing the Violet Voss Holy Grail eyeshadow palette. This palette has been out for a while now and I've always wanted it but never bought it as I have so many similar shadows. During the Sephora VIB Sale I decided to purchase it as I'd get 20% off since Violet Voss is now sold on Sephora! I've used it a couple of times where I can finally review it. Let's get into the swatches!

Crystal, Ploof, Thanks A Latte, Transition
Hashtag, Awesome Sauce, Bestie
Toffee, Chill, How You Doing

Bat My Eyes, Cool Beans, R U Kitten Me
So Jelly, On Fleek, Brownie Points
Teddy Bear, Glamping, Cranberry Splash, Wine N Dine

Overall, this is a pretty decent palette. It's nothing over the top. I do believe paying full price for this is not the way to go. If you've been eyeing this palette then try buying it at a time when it's on sale. Some of the shades are a bit difficult to blend. The shimmers are pretty good but not many of them are unique. That's all for today's post, I hope you enjoyed!

Sephora Haul ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be showing you guys a couple of things I picked up from Sephora in December. This is the order that made me a VIB Rouge wooo! Let's get right into the short haul.

Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in "Sunset Cove": I've used this once already and it looked so cute on the eyes!
Stila Liquid Lipstick in "Tesero": Haven't gotten the chance to use this but I can't wait to! It's a gorgeous fiery coral red shade.
Shiseido Facial Cotton: These are the best cotton pads you will ever use! They're so gentle and don't leave pieces of cotton on your face.
Tarte Black Lash Glue: I tried this at work and fell in love with it so I had to purchase it as I've yet to find a good black lash glue.

That's all for today's post. I know it was short but bare with me, better posts will be coming soon! Thank you so much for reading, hope you enjoyed!

December '17 Favorites! ♡

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be talking about my favorite products for the month of December! I'm going to be way more consistent with posting my monthly favorites in the new year! For now, let me tell you about this months favorites of mine.

Clean Reserve Sel Santal: I first discovered this because Sephora gave it to me as a sample. I used to not like masculine scents on myself but instantly fell in love with this one! I should probably stop buying the travel spray and just get the full size haha.
Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in Uncensored: When I first saw the pictures of Rihanna wearing this I knew I had to have it. It's a stunning bright red that honestly looks good on every skin tone! It also stays despite me eating and drinking.
Colourpop Golden State of Mind eyeshadow palette: This it the best palette of all shimmers ever! Every single shade in here is gorgeous. They can be used all over the lid or as toppers to other shadows.
Glossier Rose Balm Dotcom: This leaves my lips feeling super smooth! It also smells like roses which is one of my favorite scents.
Lush Eau Roma Water: I love trying out new facial mists so when I went to Lush and saw this I had to pick it up. It works as a toner as well which feels so good on the skin after cleansing. It's a mix of lavender and rose water which is honestly my dream combo.
Essie Suit and Tied: I bought this shade and it is so gorgeous! It's a dusty rose that has a hint of a camel shade. It's perfect for all year round.

That's it for my December faves! Like I said, I'll be more consistent with posting my monthly favorites. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! ♡♡
