Sephora (mini) Haul!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my Sephora mini Haul purchases with you today. Since I was trying to avoid spending my entire life savings at Sephora over the weekend, I managed to only purchase 4 things this time around :).

Sephora Mini Haul

Benefit Cosmetics: How to Look the Best at Everything – this kit is everything. I really wanted to find something that had everything I wanted in it and this kit truly has everything you need to get that perfect look. The kit includes The POREfessional Face Primer, the Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW foundation, Boi-ing concealers in two different shades, and Hello Flawless powder. The kits come in Light, Medium, and Deep. I chose Medium for my skin tone since it is going to be summer soon and I’ll hopefully be getting some color. All items in this kit are a sample size, so you’re able to basically try everything out to see if you really like it in the collection before investing in the full-size products. This kit would also be really great for travel purposes. If you’re someone who is new to makeup or isn’t really sure how to apply each of the products or where, the kit also comes with a little tips and tricks booklet that is attached to the top of the kit. This kit was about $34 at my Sephora. The products are amazing, and I love the quality. As some of you may know, I’m always on the quest to find new foundation products and that perfect foundation. Benefit killed it – this kit is awesome!

Sephora: Wonderful Cushion foundation – this is a great light coverage foundation. I found this on the sale rack, but I really do like this product. This is a great product that I’ve been using as a light foundation for those days that I don’t want a full-coverage look. I’m loving it. This was on sale at my Sephora for $12, however, I also believe this product is discontinued. If you can find it, I do suggest picking one up before you can’t get them anymore!

Sephora: Beauty Amplifier Lip Plumper – this product is a great clear gloss that adds both shine and plumps your lips. I’ve been wearing this as a stand alone product, but it would be great over a lippie also. This product was $16 at my Sephora. It’s a huge tube so it’s totally worth the price. The applicator is a doe foot applicator and the product lasts for a pretty decent amount of time when wearing. It is a gloss, so it has the wear time of most glosses on the market.

Urban Decay: All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray – this spray.. I can’t even. This spray is amazing. There are no other words. I’ve tried other makeup setting sprays in the past, but I hadn’t ever tried this one (not sure why). This weekend, I decided to pick one up. This truly does exactly what it claims to do. The setting spray is used after you’ve applied all of your makeup and when you want it to stay on your face as you have just applied, for the entire day (or night). This spray allows your makeup to stay put for 16 hours. This spray is about $30 for the full sized bottle, but they also offer a travel size at around $10.

That’s it for this mini haul. What favorite products are you loving at Sephora?

Top Drugstore Foundations!

Top Drugstore Foundations

Hello! I hope everyone had a great week this week! Today I wanted to share with you my top picks for Drugstore Foundation products. I’m always on the quest to find the perfect foundation (drugstore brand or not) so, I’ve definitely tried out my fair share of products before coming up with those that made this list.

Rimmel London: Lasting Finish – this is a great matte finish foundation. This is a liquid foundation that is full/medium coverage. My favorite part about this foundation is that it is a long lasting finish (25 hours according to the packaging). I can’t say that I’ve ever left it on my face for 25 whole hours, but it does definitely last all day while at work. This product contains a comfort serum, so it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all! I apply this foundation with a damp beauty blender and it goes on flawlessly.

COVERGIRL + Olay: Simply Age Less – this foundation is a really great foundation if you’re looking for fuller coverage and something to moisturize your skin while hiding any flaws (aka wrinkles). I love how easy this is to apply, I use the little sponge that comes with it in the case and it glides right on. The formula dries to a demi-matte finish. This formula also contains sunscreen, so you are getting a ton of benefits other than just a great looking foundation when you wear this.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Compact Makeup – this foundation creates a great light coverage makeup look. I love how healthy this foundation makes my skin feel both while and also after I wear it. This formula does not dry to a matte finish, it does stay a bit moist on the skin, but it does also contain sunscreen. I apply this with either the sponge it comes with or a foundation brush in order to get even coverage, since it is not a full-coverage foundation. I recommend this foundation for a more natural makeup look.

Revlon: Colorstay Whipped – this foundation is by far one of my favorites for a total glam look. This is truly a full coverage foundation. It is a cream/whipped formula, so I apply with a foundation brush and/or with a damp beauty blender to get an even application. This formula is another 24 hour formula, and it definitely does last all day. Another positive about this foundation is that it seems to do a great job of hiding my pores, which is always a great added bonus!

I’d love to hear your favorite drugstore foundation products! Share below in the comments!
