What I'm Loving [My Latest Sephora Order]


Bobbi Brown Blush in Bright Pale Pink; Josie Maran Argan Creamy Concealer Crayon; Smith's Rosebud Salve Lip Balm
Benefit Rockateur Blush; Sephora Fomula X in Meteoric and Extraordinary


So lately I have become a little bit addicted to make-up...perhaps A LOT addicted. I am constantly researching new products, reading reviews and beauty blogs. These all came highly recommended by several video bloggers so I had to try them out.

First I had been looking for a brighter, pinker blush. As you know, I currently use Benefit Sugarlicious blush which is a more bronze color. I wanted something that was a little more pink and stood out a little more from my bronzer. I am so pleased with this purchase. When I first applied it I thought "WHOA! This is pink!" After blending it a little more I love the rosy results.

My skin is ultra sensitive and I have heard great things about Josie Maran products. I have used her lipgloss and love it but have not tried any of her skin products. I love that they are all made with Argan oil. It literally feels like better when I apply it under my eyes. I also use it as a highlighting tool on my nose. I definitely recommend this concealer because the light, creamy consistency is very nice.

Smith's Rosebud Salve was recommended as one of the best lip balms on Total Beauty and I also have a friend that uses and loves it. My lips are extra huge so I am constantly trying new products to keep them from drying out during the winter. As with my skin, my lips have a tendency to get extremely chapped and dry. I haven't been using this lip balm long enough to tell you if I'm pleased with the results, but so far I am loving the scent of this product and the way it feels on my lips after I apply it. Time will tell if I will purchase it again!

 I also got Benefit's Rockateur blush--I've used it before and am excited to use it again! The texture looks a little funky if you have never used it before but the color is a beautiful mix of pink and bronze.

Sephora Formula X nail polish has really gel-like appearance which is what I like since I've stopped getting gel manicures (a. to save money, b. because it's bad for your nails). I'm excited to try these colors together! It's always good to have an assortment of neutral and super FUN polish.
