Sephora: The Key to My Heart

Where am I you ask? Click here! 

It is well known amongst my friends that if you have run out of makeup you can ask me and I probably will have what you're asking for or at least something like it. The reason I am this way is because of Sephora. I walk into Sephora and am instantly without any willpower against the wondrous items they carry, instead of buying that one thing I went in for - I buy 20 things I never even knew until that moment! I always give myself a little pep talk before walking into Sephora, "Bree! Keep strong, go in there and pick up that one item, walk to the cash register and then book it out of there! No browsing!!" and then within seconds that pep talk fades into the background of the beautiful items that are perfectly shelved in front of me.

Recently I went to Sephora, and like every other time I've been in Sephora, I went a bit more overboard that I had intended. The plan was to pick up the NARs illuminator in "Super Orgasam", which I did, but then I was stopped by a pretty pink lipstick on the way to the register. "Super Moisturizing, Light colour, Extra Hydrating" called out to me and so I thought, "Would one more item really kill me? Nah, I'll get this too!" and I carried on my way toward the cashier. Unfortunately once again I was stopped, "Want long, thick, luscious hair?" Why, yes I do - and there in-front of me stood a variety of items by Phyto. When it comes to my hair I will spend almost anything if I think it could help its growth because every since I can remember I've wanted long, thick, full hair but have been jinxed into having long-ish, frizzy, curly hair. I picked up the "extra hydrating" mask and decided that this would be my last item of the day, and this last item shot up my bill to the point where I thought I may have to sit down for a moment to catch my breathe. 

Upon bringing the conditioner home Jeremy couldn't help but roll his eyes, I've filled up the entire under-sink area with my makeup, conditioners, shampoos, face washes - everything a girl could want, really. Unfortunately a boy does not see it this way, he sees it as clutter which is really unfortunate because it's clutter he is going to have to live with because I simply refuse to "de-clutter" these beautiful things! 


Now lets get to the goodies: 

Sugar Lip Balm:



Lip Balm: I am seriously in love with this lip balm! I don't think my lips have ever felt so moisturized from using any balm ever, it's pretty amazing how instantaneous the results are too - one moment my lips are dry and the next they are baby smooth. The colour is really subtle, barely anything actually, but that doesn't really bother me because I like to apply balm on the go without the worry of lip colour getting on my teeth or out of my lip line.  Adore this product, I will absolutely be buying it again.

Nars Illuminator:



This illuminator is seriously gorgeous, it's everything I had hoped it would be and more! The bright pink blends so wonderfully into your skin leaving a flushed pink glow with a sheen of gold through it which is so beautiful for summer. As soon as I put it on I noticed how much it brightened my face and made my cheeks look adorably flushed and dewy. I really adore this product, the colour is incredible! 


Phytojojoba Mask:



I've read amazing things about this hair mask before but always resisted purchasing it because the cost. The price is incredibly steep for the everyday girl and so I would constantly look at this product but never venture to buy it. This time I decided that I deserved a little treat (for no reason,  greedy me!) and I bought it. I regret this buy because now I will never be able to pass by it again without purchasing it because it is AMAZING! This product made my hair so much more manageable, it smoothed and hydrated the dry bleached areas and it made my ends look even and thick! I am so blown away by the results that I actually cannot imagine using another hair product again for deep conditioning, I am basically married to this conditioner now.  If you have the cash to spare I %100 think you should give this a try, it is just that incredible.
