The Sephora Store, sales and samples

Ahh.  I love Sephora.  Not only can I spend an hour or two in the retail store just browsing, trying stuff on, make a list of what I want vs what I can afford etc etc but I can also spend an hour or two browsing online.  Either way I can earn VIB points for freebies, shipping is fast (and normally free) and you get to chose 3 samples.  Nice.

This delivery was loaded with goodies I already knew about and was excited to see. Right now I am on a boscia kick which is feeding my lasted obsession with beauty masks.  I've been trying out a charcoal mask by Origins and will review that in full a little later.  This shippment contains a set of boscia must haves including an oil free moisturizer (great size for carrying in the purse), a purifying cleansing gel (sulfur free), and a full size liminatizing black mask treatment (peel off).

This is great because one of the VIB promos was a deluxe sample of the bright white mask that is suppose to help with hyperpigmentation (another obsession due to my sun spots from tanning). So I can try both the white and black masks this weekend! yeah!

Another product I had wanted to try was a pore minimizer which I was able to get with my VIB points.  I got Dermadoctor Picture Porefect and I will also let you know how it works after I've tried it for about a week.  Look for a follow up post next Friday or Saturday.

I also got my teenager some Kate Somerville Acne Treatment which is 10% sulfur and should dry up those pesky teenage face pimples quite nicely!

Finally I got to look at the free samples I picked out including mascara, oil control, and my favorite Kat Von D Tattoo Foundation which I couldn't wait and had to open immediately.  The description was a powerful long lasting foundation that could be used to cover tattoos which I thought if it does that it should be able to even out the sun spots on my forehead.  Well, I've just gotten home from work and my face isn't clean, but I went ahead and put some on (yes I know always start w/a clean face unless you are insanely impatient and I am).  It blended very well but I used too much (can't get used to this use just a little bit goes a long way) so I ended up using it on my entire face.  Not bad I say. Then I applied some loose powder and it looks pretty good except its a tiny bit too dark for me a little too yellow/orange just barely.  Thank goodness this comes in 14 different shades and I will try the lighter ones and update later.

That's all for today, thanks for reading the ENTIRE post, and my hubby is on his way to pick me up and take me to dinner so until next time Ladies!
