Benefit Box O Powder

A couple months back I hauled these blushes (see the video here) after finding them on HSN for a crazy good deal. Years ago I owned Benefits Hoola bronzer and loved it but never tried any of the other blushes in the Box O Powder line. Overall I am a fan of these powder, they are smooth and easy to blend out and I find that they last well through out the day.

Have you ever tried any of Benefit's blushes? Which is your favorite?!

Dandelion: This is a pale-pink that is marketed  as a highlight. I would definitely not call this a highlight on me though this is more of an angelic pink blush. If you have a darker skin tone you could definitely use this more as a highlight.

Coralista: A warm coral-pink powder that gives you a healthy glow. This is one of my favorites out of the line. I have always been partial to coral blushes and this one is stunning. No glitter here just the perfect amount of shimmer to give warmth to your cheeks.

Hoola: A Matte Bronzer that is the perfect shade of cool brown that makes contouring and shading a breeze.

Hervana: This powder is four shades in one (Lucky Shell, Divine Peach, Heavenly Rose and Berry Delight). Swirl all together and you get a light purplish pink blush that has a satin finish.

Rockateur: A rose gold cheek color that makes an amazing blush topper. If you are looking for a little extra oomph on your cheeks you will love this powder.

 

Sephora VIB Haul

(When your boxes are too heavy to hold up and take a picture)

Today I am sharing all of the goodies I picked up during the Sephora VIB sale. I went a bit crazy with the sale this year and purchased a whole lot of products. These would make seriously amazing Christmas gifts for any make up lover! 

As always I shopped online using ebates! I got around $30 cash back for these purchases! Wanna know how you can start getting cash back?! check out more here. 

Recent Empties

This is one of those videos where I basically go through my trash that I have been hoarding for the last few months ;). You may know these videos as "empties" and you know you want to see what I have used up...what I loved... and didn't love!

Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial

Korres Greek Yoghurt 

I have found over the years that as a brand Korres tends to deliver quality products with out any of the terrible chemicals and parabens that we often find in the beauty industry. Recently I fell in love with the greek yoghurt sleeping facial mask. This mask is packed full of proteins that help nourish dull dry skin.

For quite a while now I keep to a routine of using a lighter moisturizer during the day and then using a heavy duty moisturizer at night. This might seem extreme but I always use these moisturizing masks nightly. Thats right folks I often find that my skin is really thirsting for hydration by the end of day (yes even though I have oily skin) and I have found after testing many many products that I prefer using these masks in place of typical night cream to get that extra hydration.

The first mask I found to work for me as a nightly moisturizer was the glam glow thirstymud . I still love this mask and definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't. What prompted me to try out this Korres mask was as usual searching Sephora online product reviews (I'm shameless I know).  This bad boy has several hundred reviews and almost a 5 star rating! Its also more affordable than the glam glow version. Although  you do get a tiny bit more with glam glow but 45$ compared to $69 is a bit of a difference when on a budget.

When I wake up in the morning after using the Korres overnight facial my skin feels plumper, my skin tone is even and radiant, and I feel like overall my skin feels more balanced.  Balancing out my skin is really what I love most about this product. No more dry patches in one area while still having an oily t-zone and I notice this balance stays all day. This product manages to solve it all.

Next time your in search for a night moisturizer try this one out! Just remember the key to using overnight masks nightly is to use a bit less product than you would if you were using it as an actual mask. 

November Julep Maven

This month was all about switching up your beauty routine. Fall is in full swing and well on its way to Winter which means we tend to change our skincare routines, color palettes, and the textures we reach for in fashion. Two new products debuted this months perfect for this change.

The first is a facial milk that contains 5 different nutrient rich oils. This paraben free lightweight "milk" contains Rosehip Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, and Squalane. Packed with lots of good for your skin ingredients I was really excited to try this one out. The formula is fast obsorbing and could easily be worn on skin during the day prior to make up application. My  preferred method is to apply at night before I put my night cream on.

The second new addition this month is the Matte Metallics line which is an fun and interesting combination. Your nails are shiny because it's metallic but yet it has a matte texture! Really liking both colors that came in this months Classic with a twist box. I do recommend using a good base coat with the matte metallic colors this will help hide any ridges or imperfections on your nails from peaking through your polish. 

Jo - Brushed Silver Matte Metallic

Linnea - Vintage Mauve Shimmer
