Sephora 20% Off!

Hey guys!

I'm sure most of you are aware of the Friends and Family sale going on at Sephora yea yeah???!??? It goes till 11/2 so hurry up if you want to take advantage of the sale!

Go to the link to get your promotion code ^_^

I have to say... this sale thingy is brutal T____T cuz there's actually a lot of things I want to buy at the moment T^T but remember I'm cutting down my costs at the makeup department?! So yeah... I am actually quite proud of myself cuz I only purchased skincare products, no makeup *sob sob*

Anyway here are the things I purchased ^_^

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Face Cleanser

I'm excited to finally purchase this cleanser! I got a sample size of this cleanser earlier this year and I remember hating it when I first used it. It doesn't lather or anything, it just feels like rubbing some thick liquid on my face, and you all know I love cleansers that give denser lather. And really my skin was really normal before so I couldn't tell if it was doing anything to my skin. So anyway I put it away and never used it again. However two months ago my skin suffered an allergic break out, it wasn't as bad as it could've been (I used yogurt like crazy!!! And Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum helped calm my skin down too) but it was very sensitive and itchy, so I wanted to use something really gentle cuz I noticed every time after I cleanse my face my break out spot became really red, swollen and irritated. I did use oatmeal to wash my face and it did help, but at the same time I wanted maybe something more calming. So I dug out this cleanser... and it helped calm down my skin, A LOT. So even though I hate it doesn't lather, I still think this is a really good cleanser ^_^

I'm not short on skin care because I have so many samples XD but I'm running low on real sized products. So I thought this is a good time to stock up ^_^ I asked my friend what she bought for her Sephora discount and she recommended this to me. She doesn't even have oily skin but she said it has worked for her since high school. So I'm excited to try this out ^_^


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all I purchased! And now I'm gonna share the long-ass list of things I want to buy LMAO!!

NARS dual eye shadow in Codura
Photobucket
I really want this *sob sob* but I think I can survive without new eye shadows T^T *sniff sniff*


NARS blush in Deep Throat
Photobucket
I've always wanted this >< I remember buying the Orgasm blush when I actually really wanted this one... but I ended up buying Orgasm cuz it was the most popular =_= (I was kind of new to makeup at that time XD) regret >_< cuz Orgasm doesn't even flatter my complexion that much.


Lancome Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector

Photobucket
I've been wanting to try this ever since Rae talked about how good it is! But... $84 is really out of my league. I will save it for when I'm older and need more intense treatment XD


Tarte Amazonian Clay blush
Photobucket
I've been really wanting to try them ever since I saw Marlena talk about them. I like Amused and Tipsy ^_^



MAKEUP FOR EVER MAT VELVET+ foundation
Photobucket
Not necessarily want to buy this but really want to try it -__- (foundation junkie mode on)


FairyDrops Mascara
Photobucket
Been really wanting to try this as well cuz I heard so many good things! But it's so expensive and I have a lot of mascaras at the moment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And other things that I really want to try but not available at Sephora..

Chanel Perfection Lumiere
Photobucket
Again wanted to try this because of Rae XD it looks amazing on her skin! Although you guys all know I'm not short of foundations at all... I have too many in fact. Don't get me wrong I love my foundations but I just always want to try new ones XD

I've been DYING to try this BB cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >____< ever since I saw Eki use it in her Alice in Wonderland tutorial. She did a review on this BB cream as well :)
It looks so thin and amazing!!! but it's SO expensive. And it doesn't contain SPF =( I do have a full size SKIN79 BB cream so I'm gonna finish that first before I move onto other BB creams *determined*


Hahaha omg that was SUCH a long list. I feel like such a makeup whore. LOL.

What did you guys buy from this sale? ^_^

I hope you guys didn't find this post too boring XD

I'm off to take a nap ^_^ Happy shopping guys :D

  6. Awww I'm so sorry =( but they really should try to make more shades for BB creams. I guess because it's more popular in Asia and Asian women are mostly obsessed with being fair so I guess that's why the manufacturers don't feel the need to make more shades? =T

    Hahah believe it or not this is not everything on my list LMAO. in the end I just got too tired to list more cuz it'd never enddddd lol!!!
