Sephora Eyes the Limit Kit





I bought this kit right before Christmas and I have to say that I am really glad that I did. It is an amazing deal! In this kit you get Sephora waterproof retractable eyeliner in 01 Matte Black, 1 pair of Sephora brand false lashes in Mink, and a trial size bottle of Sephora's Triple Action Cleansing Water, all for $10. The retail value of this kit is $28.










Eyeliner:


The eyeliner in my opinion has given UD a run for its money. This retractable pencil goes on smooth, and creamy. It comes with a  built in sharpener and a smudge tip for creating a smokey eye. This pencil alone is $13 so that just goes to show you what an amazing deal this is. Sephora offers this eyeliner and 21 other colors on their website, and in stores.








Lashes:


I have never worn false lashes but these look really nice. I am still trying to decide if I want to use them or not. These eyelashes alone retail for $10 on the Sephora website.






Makeup Remover:


The triple action cleansing water has become my new favorite makeup remover. It does not leave my face feeling oily or sticky like a lot of other makeup removers do. You can get this in either a 5oz($12) or 13.5oz ($20) size at Sephora.com or in stores.


All in all I think this kit is amazing. I actually made another order with Sephora just to get the triple action cleansing water because I love it so much. I will definitely be trying out more of the water proof eyeliners in different shades to see if they are just as good.

Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquid





I recently received a VoxBox from Influenster which contained two full sized bottles of Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquid for me to try out and review.


For those of you who are not familiar with Influenster, it is a program that you sign up for and based on your profile and your social media usage, they will send you out a VoxBox which contains different products. It is completely free, all you have to do is review the products and complete a survey to be eligible for VoxBoxes. The more active you are with your social media, earning badges and so forth, the more likely you are to receive a VoxBox. If you would like to sign up for Influenster you can do so here.

I had seen the Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquids in the store before recieving them, but I had not purchased them yet. I have always hated to do dishes, as it is so drying to my hands.Plus it is hard to find good smelling dish soap that is also good for your hands. Palmolive is tough on grease, but easy on hands. I really liked the fact that not only am I doing the dishes but I am also moisturizing my hands :) The two scents that I received were Aloe(green) and Vitamin E(pink).

Both of them smell really good, and do a great job on the dishes as well as keeping your skin soft. I didn't have any issues whatsoever. My favorite one of the two was the Aloe. I ended up giving the Vitamin E Soft Touch to my aunt, who has used it before and loves it.  My only advice is that you don't use too much as it will get too sudsy. I definitely reccomend this to everyone, especially those with dry skin.


For more information about Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquid visit here and you can also check out Palmolives Review page on Influenster here. Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquid can be found at your local Walmart.

Urban Decay Haul

As I was browsing around the Internet on the 25th, I saw that Urban Decay was having a flash sale. Once I headed over to Urban Decay, I saw they had given their site a makeover and in honor of that makeover the Feminine, Dangerous, and Fun palettes were half price along with their amazing primer potion in "Greed" for two days only.

I decided that of course I didn't already have way too much makeup and bought both the fun and feminine palettes and the primer potion. I also hit up the sale and got one of their vintage eyeshadows to make my order hit $50 so I could get the free shipping :)


First things first, let me show you what it all looks like :)


We will start off with the vintage shadow. I got it in Ecstasy. It is a really pretty purple shadow with a slight pink tint. I already own a few of the vintage eyeshadows and for $4 you can't beat it.



The next item is the Feminine Palette. It has six eyeshadows, and a travel- size Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Wallflower. The names of the shadows are Bordello, Skimp, AC/DC, Gunmetal, Hijack, and Lost.



Bordello- pale mauve with gold micro-glitter
Skimp- light peachy pearl
AC/DC- smokey greyish purple shimmer
Gunmetal- dark metallic grey shimmer with silver micro-glitter
Hijack- deep metallic teal shimmer
Lost- medium metallic brown shimmer

Wallflower- nude creamy pink




The Fun palette also has six eyeshadows and a travel size Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Midnight Cowboy. The names of the shadows are Deep End, Sellout, Fishnet, Stray Dog, and Freakshow.



Deep End- bright teal shimmer
Sellout- pinky champagne shimmer
Fishnet- bright pink with purple shift
Stray Dog- cool metallic ash brown shimmer
Freakshow- deep royal purple pearl



Midnight Cowboy Lip Junkie Lip Gloss- sheer nude sparkle


The really cool thing about these palettes is that you can take the eyeshadow holder out. It has a magnet on it and you can reuse the case for something else.

 
 
And last I got the Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) in Greed. It is a shimmering gold color. While i like this one, My favorite of the four is Eden. To me it feels a little thicker and I feel it makes my shadows last longer.







Did anyone else buy any goodies during the flash sale? If so, what did ya get?

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

Let me just start by saying I am a complete lip product hoarder. In my opinion you can never have too many lip products! I find it hard to ever finish a lip product, even if I really love it, before the next great thing comes out.

I have seen so many people talk about the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments, that I just had to try them! They currently have 8 available on the Sephora website. Right now I only own 2 and they are the mini ones from the sephora birthday gift last year. I have the original and Sugar Rose. I didn't think I was gonna like the Sugar Rose because it looks red in the tube but when I tried it on my lips it was a sheer hint of color. They both make your lips feel soft and smooth. When they are applied to your lips it is almost as if it melt rights on. But in a good way. Lol.

They retail for $22.50 @ www.sephora.com. Another great quality is they have SPF 15 in them!


What other lip products do you use?

Hard Candy Lite Bright Whipped Brightening Concealer

I have been on a hunt for a good concealer that will cover my dark under eyes and not look caked on. I have had a hard time finding a concealer that matches me just right. So as I was browsing threw the aisles of Walmart the other day I came across the Hard Candy Lite Bright Whipped Brightening Concealer. I got it in the shade 506 Medium. It retails for $6.

I have to say this concealer is pretty darn good. It is not too thick and leaves a smooth, almost powdery finish on your skin. It comes in a pen type container with a brush. You control the amount of concealer needed by twisting the bottom. I wanted to get it in the shade light/medium but it was out of stock. I would recommend this concealer, as I feel it is just as good as a lot of high end concealers.
