Sephora Splurge

Did a little Sunday Funday Sephora splurge! every time I go there I end up with wanted more then what I initially went in there for..they get me all the time!

So a friend of mine mentioned something about getting her makeup done at Sephora for free and I said "WHAT? how? I always PAY $50 for a gift card or product" she explained to me that if you spend over $1,000.00 (which I definitely do) a year you get upgraded to a Red Card " Sephora VIB Rogue" which includes free makeup application and this is one of the reasons why I went into Sephora to inquire about this since I have been paying all these years!! they checked my file and said I was eligible apologized that no one had told me sooner and gave me my new card :)

 

I initially needed to get my primer that I ran out of I use the Sephora Perfecting Ultra-Smoothing Primer as I have mentioned in my previous posts this is my fav primer and is an affordable price.

I  have been wanting to try the Nars Sheer Glow foundation as I have heard good reviews on it.  I have the Nars Sheer Matte foundation which I don't like too much as my skin is a bit dry I need something with more moisture in it and I usually don't like matte finishes I like a dewy glow.  Today I used the Nars Sheer Glow foundation for work today and I love it! it is light, creamy and has good coverage.  It is very similar to my Georgia Armani Illuminous Silk Foundation the differences to me are that the Nars has more coverage with less application and with the Georgia Armani the more you put on the more coverage you get the Georgia Armani also smells AMAZING so its still my fav foundation.

Before the Beauty Blender was here I use to use my hands for applying my face lotion, primer, foundation, and concealer.  I never really liked using brushes as I feel it leaves a streaky mark on your face and I feel with your hands it really blends into your skin more.  Once the Beauty Belnder came out I fell in LOVE with it I do feel it is a bit pricey ($30) so I try to keep mine for as long as I can and in good condition.  I have purchased other brands that have been a lot cheaper and for some reason the Original Beauty Blender is the best by far.  I also saw some new micro mini beauty blender  that were SO CUTE they are for smaller areas under the eyes etc. I usually use the round end of my Beauty Blender to apply my primer and foundations and for concealer I turn it around and use the pointier end therefore I don't feel I need to get the mini beauty blender..i may give them a try later on.

I have been wanting to try the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector that everyone is ranting about but it was sold out in stores..luckily they had some online (and with my Sephora VIB Rogue I get free shipping) I'm so excited to try it! I got the shade "Opal" as I hear that is the more popular shades.. if anyone has tried a different shade and like it please let me know!!

I usually don't get liquid illuminizers or highlighters anymore since every time I buy one I don't like it and I've bought MANY of them.  I tested the Josie Maran Argan Oil Illuminizer on my hand and it was so beautiful and shimmery of course I had to get it..the difference between this and other liquid illuminizers is HUGE it actually shows a lot when you put it on ..I find all my other ones were very light and ended up being more clear and the shimmer never stood out.. this one is by far my FAV!! I applied a tiny bit on my cheekbones and nose and WOW it was instant highlight and a dewy glow which I LOVE..so glad I gave it a try.

Over the weekend I watched some makeup tutorials on YouTube on how to contour your face and nose..and a lot of them had darker foundation they used..all I use is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit so I wanted to get something in a liquid form as well as I saw that most of the MUA's used both to achieve the perfect contour look.  I asked someone in Sephora and got referred to the Becca Lowlight Sculpting Perfector this comes in one dark shade only which made it a lot easier and it is meant for contouring which is exactly what I needed!! it has the perfect bronze color with no orange pigments in it which is why I chose it..a lot of other contour sticks I tried had lots or orange color to them.  I am hoping to try this sometime next weekend will do a review once I try it!

I also picked up a new gloss for Bobbi Brown called "Brightening Gloss" it looks like a foggy white color but goes on clear I couldn't find it on the website but its really nice love it.

I also ordered online the "Give Me Some Lip" an exclusive new limited edition lip kit which I am very excited for!!  I have been wanting to try a Buxom and Smashbox gloss so this is the perfect little package also I tend to like nude or pink glosses and this kit has all that!!

I've been super busy with working on Lash Bunny I have finally chose my Model and Photographer and I am so excited for our launch so you can see who they are!!! (they are not local) I also did a model search locally and have found some beautiful models as well very excited for all the shoots to come and the launch of our website.

I also got to play around with some of my new makeup and my MINK LASHES :):) here are some pics below

My makeup details in these photos are as follows

I always start off with washing my face and doing a light scrub..if I have an event to go to I usually do a face mask the night before or early in the morning.  After I wash my face I use my Chanel gel face cream wait for it to dry out a bit than I spray the M.A.C Fix + (this is something I just recently started using and I love it!!) I thank apply a face primer..I use to use a Tart one due to its gelish silicone texture and one day they were sold out so the MUA at Sephora told me their house brand face primer is very similar and for HALF THE PRICE I tried it and now I am hooked. 

For my eyes I apply a light concealer as my eye lids are a bit dark and red sometimes...I then apply Smash Box 24 hour photo finish Shadow Primer..I've used a few shadow primers and this is my fav so far. I apply M.A.C eye shadow Retro Speck its has shimmer and goes on nicely I use this as a base for all my shadows I feel it looks great underneath other shadows and makes them stand out more.  I apply a little bit of M.A.C. eye shadow Blanc Type over top this is a matte eye shadow and it make the look more natural and goes very well with Retro Speck this is my everyday duo.  For my crease I used Laura Mercier Baked Eyecolour in Black Karat (this can be applied wet or dry) this is my FAV colour for a crease it is not too dark and the sparkles are beautiful. 

I then applied my Kat Von D Lock it Tattoo Foundation (full coverage) in shade 52 this is extremely dry and is full coverage so I only use it when Im going out to an event..due to the texture and dryness of it I use a little bit of my Georgia Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 6.5 ..this adds a glow to my skin and makes it more moist blended with the Kat Von D its a good duo.  I usually use a the original pink beauty blender to apply foundation which I purchase from Sephora.

I then apply my concealer ..I used M.A.C Full Coverage Foundation in shade NC 15 I know its a foundation but its is thick and works great as a concealer for the heavy glam look! due to the thick texture of this I applied my NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in shade Light 2 Vanilla (this is a new one I am trying and I LOVE IT) this duo is AMAZING for under eyes it brightens them up.  I usually use beauty blender to apply concealer under my eyes.

I set my under eye concealer with the Hour Glass Amient Lighting Pallette I use the 1st shade from the left called Radiant Light..this palette was a bit pricy but SO WORTH IT I love it.  I then use my Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit ..I use the first two light shades for my under eye and WOW the yellow tone one really brightens them up its amazing!!  after all that I go back to the Hour Glass Ambient Lighting Palette and use shade Incandecent Light (more shimmer) to highlight my nose and my upper cheek bones..  I use M.A.C brush number 116 for all my under eye contouring and highlighting.

I then start to contour my face with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit.. I always watch YouTube videos or look up an MUA on instagram and find a contouring pic and I go by that..im getting better now so I know where to contour..I use M.A.C brush number 109 for contouring my cheekbones.. I use the side of the brush to apply the contour line and then I blend it all in.

To contour my nose I use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit with M.A.C brush number 282SE and to blend it all in I use brush number 130SE

 

After my contour I apply a bit of bronzer..in those pictures I used my new M.A.C blush (is dark with shimmer I use it as a bronzer) called  Format and I always always apply a very light colour blush I used my new M.A.C blush called Modern Mandarin.. I use M.A.C brush number 150 to apply my all over bronzers and blush.

For my eyebrows I recently started using M.A.C Deep Fluid Line Brow Gelcreame in Deep Dark Brunette..I use this for going out to event as gel brow creams are a bit more intense.

After my face is done I apply a little bit of mascara wait for it to dry a bit than I applied my Lash Bunny Mink lashes.. with my lashes I usually trim them a bit to get a perfect fit for my eyes and I apply the glue wait a maybe 40 seconds than I put it on..putting on eyelashes comes natural to me sine I've been doing it for YEARS ..but for those of you who don't know how you can usually Youtube this.  I use my finger..I know a lot of people use tweezers I personally prefer my finger.  I also squish the lashes with my own eyelashes to get a better stick..the reason why I apply a little bit of mascara before I apply my lases is that the mascara helps it stick better for a more natural look and longer lasting effect.  I then apply a a little bit of mascara on the mink lashes and I am done!

At the end of my makeup I applied the M.A.C Fix+ spray to seal all my makeup in moisturise my face and keep it all in place this is my fav spray.

As you can see there is a lot of steps that take place behind these glamorous selfies of mine lol If you guys suggest any new makeup products I should try feel free to email me, comment, or msg me on Instagram.

sorry if there are typos and grammar mistakes.. I did this all very fast.

I had to run into MAC quickly to pick something up for a very beautiful friend of mine...and of course I ended up coming out with some stuff for myself lol here is a list of everything I purchased

Everyone has been asking me about the lipstick colors and sorry it took me a while to respond but I was waiting to do a blog post! I grabbed two new lip sticks that I am SO excited to wear I usually wear nudes but recently and with fall coming up I have gravated towards some darker and brighter shades

The first one from the left is "Candy Yum Yum" buy here  and the second one (popular request everyone has been asking me) is "Flat Out Fabulous" buy here I'm super excited to use these

I love love love the customized blush palettes they are so convenient and they have a clear lid so all of your blushes are visible and the cost of buying a refill is also cheaper! if you are going to buy this you also have to buy the insert (no one told me this) now I can see all my blushes and get more use out of them I bought a palette that fits 6 blushes and I purchased 4 new ones.

The top left is "Full Fuscia" next to it is "Modern Mandarin" buy here  bottom left is "Format" buy here (I got this for a bronze look it has shimmer in it) and next to it is "Blunt" buy here (this is matte I got it for contouring)

 

I picked up this tinted lip glass in "Wanting More" I loves nudes and light shades of pink they go well with my skin tone I usually tend to stick with these colors so I had to try it out! buy here

 

I loved these Electric Cool shadows so much I had to pick up another color I got "Pure Flash" to add to my collection buy here these can be worn wet or dry I apply mine with a regular eyeshadow brush they go on smooth and creamy with lots of shimmer I love it!!

I also picked up a new custom eye shadow palette it has the clear lid so you can see all the eye shadows my old one didn't have this clear lid when you don't see things you tend to forget about them now I'm sure I will be using these more also make sure you get the insert as well as I was not told it came separately.

that's all for now! I will snap some pics and do a review on all this sometime this weekend

xoxo Lash Bunny
