It seems to take it cue from Ralph Lauren. It will be mine!

Back in the Swing!

So, my new project manager said I should get on with it and start posting and even gave me the inspiration (or excuse to go to Sephora) for Sephora Saturday. Obviously it is Sunday but I went on Saturday so.. it will be either Sephora Saturday or Sunday, depending on how the next few weeks go.

The problem with this idea; I am on a make up ban. I am forcing a "project pan" on myself for 10 products. This has been quite challenging for myself since there have been so many summer sales going on the web! Needless to say this trip to Sephora has been sad but quite swatchful.

I spend hours on end in Sephora, probably enough to annoy the staff that greet me a million times. These are a few of the highlights, rather, the make up I have been eyeing to add to my collection once my ban is over!

This precious gem is something I have been wanting since the collection became available on presale. I was weary on ordering make up from this collection as I have not been impressed by most of Sephora's make up in the past. I blindly ordered some of the products based off of how they looked. I skipped this product because a whole tin of crappy eye pencils for $28.00 would not justify the buy for me even with the tin. This IS worth $28.00. They are super long lasting and the color pay off is FANTASTIC. I will be picking up this lovely set as soon as my ban is through!

Have you bought anything from the Hello Kitty for Sephora collection? I am super stoked to get something from the Graffiti Collection. I also purchased the eye shadow quad/blus duo compact from the Cherry Blossom collection.

Ok. THIS is just ridiculous! But that is why I want it. It is the new mascara by Too Faced, Size Queen. The brush is ridiculously large, utterly unnecessary. That is the beauty of it. I can't imagine pulling this out to apply mascara, it is so cartoonish. I LOVE IT. I'd whip it out in Disneyland while wearing Minnie Ears... no joke.

OH! Do you have Acne problems? I do, I had a spout of breakouts a few weeks ago. It was no a pretty sight. Normally I have pretty decent skin (I do have oily combination in case you were wondering), and I can keep it under control with Aveeno Clear Skin face moisturizer. This is was so bad that I whipped out the sulfur masks and drying creams. I had a deluxe sample of the Murad Drying Face Mask so I used that and it helped minimize the break outs.

The stars aligned for me that day, when I retrieved my mail it contained an Ulta catalog which contained the Murad Acne System for $36.00. In the kit (mini 30 day kit), there is a Facial Cleanser, Clarifying Gel, Lotion and Spot Treatment. I went the following day to retrieve it from the store and I have to say, "WOW!". This really helped out my issues and I would recommend this line to anyone who was having acne issues. I would NOT recommend purchasing this kit from Ulta. ONLY because on this same kit PLUS more is available at Sephora for for only $33.00.

Slightly disheartened when I saw this. I am a Sephora Girl, I just happened to see the Ulta ad first. I like Ulta but I must say.. Ulta.. I am disappoint.

I will keep you posted on my other adventures. Until then, you can check out more detailed reviews I have posted on beautylish.
