My wonderful work friends gave me a generous Sephora giftcard to help cheer me up a little, and here’s some of the fabulous stuff I got!

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips Gloss: It’s kind of odd that I’ve never tried this before seeing as how I’m a lip pluming connoisseur, and now I wish I‘d found it sooner. The gloss is super shiny and plumped my lips on contact. And the color I got, Gabby, is just gorgeous on its own or paired with a wine or cocoa colored lip liner. I’ll swatch the gloss below so you can have a look at the sparkly goodness!
Price: $18


Philosophy Lip Shine: I love this lip gloss because Philosophy is always coming out with new flavors and colors. This time I picked up Smores, which smells just like the real thing. This is something I would wear on its own on those ‘I just don’t feel like dealing with lipstick days.’ The added bonus is that boys are constantly asking why my face smells so good. True story!
Price: $12.00





Sephora Eye Brow Tweezers: It’s probably my fault for buying the cheapest version they had, but I really hate this tweezer. Its hard to grip, and the hinge feels really stiff, almost like it needs oil or something. Which sucks, cuz that type of maintenance is not something I find appealing in a tweezer.
Price: $8.00


Dior Contour Lipliner Pencil: I love the entire Dior line, so I’m surprised at how much this lipliner sucks. Ok, ok maybe it’s not THAT bad, but for $26 a pop I expect a lot more. The creamy formula is too creamy, which means its not long wearing at all. I also feel like it doesn’t offer a whole lot in the way of definition, because it’s hard to get good lines with such a soft product. The color, Heather Rose, is very pretty, but Urban Decay offers a similar color – wicked – that wears a lot longer so I’ll likely be exchanging the Dior pencil for that one.
Price: $26.00


Ok kids that’s all for now. I tried to make my first article back a light one since I’m feeling a bit rusty, but I’ll be back in the swing of things in no time. And don’t forget to check back tomorrow for your Old Skool Hot Track of the Week!
