Sephora Friends and Family

Did you take advantage of Sephora's Friends and Family 20% off promotion? I treated myself to some birthday presents a week before the sale started... ugh bad timing! There is still one day left (ends 11/2).

Among what I bought...


Why didn't I buy this sooner? Well, it's often sold out in stores. Really, really, really wish I had invested in this earlier in my life! There are so many tutorials online with tips on how to utilize this palette.


I made the mistake of trying to pull the inside lid off of this powder and antiqued myself and the mirror. Then I realized there are a few tiny holes you need to punch through. Mmmmhmmm... good one Linds. I love the way it feels but I need to do a better job of buffing because I noticed my skin was looking pale in pictures. Do you use this or Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil? If you've tried both, do you have a preference?


I am heading to the store tomorrow to test some bronzers. I am currently using Benefit's Hoola but have heard great reviews on the others above. Basically I feel like I can't pass up this sale.

I would love to know your favorite beauty blogs - please share!

  1. I use MAC bronzer. They have different shades so you don't look like Snookie if you are originally very pale like me! Down side is its not sold at Sephora. And I did use the F&F discount! I'm actually thinking about using a different email and buying some more stuff! haha

  2. I have the Make Up Forever powder and like the way it works...I do find it too drying for everyday use. Great list! I love to read The Beauty Lookbook and Cafe Makeup because they both give great in depth reviews of products along with swatches.

  4. Naked Palette is so amazing! I have NARS laguna but honestly love my MAC bronzer so much more! And I had the too faced sun bunny which is good for winter because its a pretty light color so it gives you a natural tan, but in the summer it just doesnt show up enough!

  9. I obviously need someone to teach me more about makeup. The more and more I read blog posts on the subject the more I realize how little I know.
