Sephora Favorites Gifts Sets Have Somthing for Everyone!

Sephora has recently released five limited edition deluxe samplers of beauty products from some of their most popular brands. The cool things about these are they let you try many different products before doling out the cash to purchase full-sizes. The two that I have tried are:  

Lip Service Deluxe Sampler ($119 Value) $38.00 USD — Do you love lipstick as much as I do? This is a way to try different colors and brands and to see what looks good on you. I often have a hard time deciding what I like at the counter. I like to wear it for a day or two. This collection includes neutrals, pinks, reds and berries and a great clear gloss from Smashbox. You get:    

– 0.05 oz Duwop Private Red
– 0.12 oz Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Sheer
– 0.02 oz Sephora Nano Lip Liner in Beau Bordeaux 11 or Radiant Rosy 14
– 0.086 oz NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Roman Holiday (vibrant pink sheen)
– 0.06 oz Korres Guava Lipstick in Wine Red (burgundy wine)
– 0.14 oz CARGO Plantlove Botanical Lipstick in Muir Woods (sheer spiced mauve)
– 0.8 oz Tarte Vitamin Infused Lipstick in Hatha (shimmering berry rose)
– 0.04 oz Laura Mercier Lip Coulour-Crème in Pink Champagne (cool rose)

Radiant Skin Regimen Deluxe Sampler ($143 Value) $38.00 USD — I enjoy trying skincare samples before I buy, because it is hard to tell what will work well with my skin. The deluxe samples in this collection allow for a couple of weeks with the product, which helps decide if it’s something you want to buy. It includes:

– 1 oz Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash
– 1.35 oz Cosmedicine Medi-Morphosis Self Adjusting Exfoliator
– 0.5 oz Perricone Advanced Face Firming Activator
– 0.23 oz DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer Moisturizing Serum

– 0.5 oz Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion

The three other collections are the LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler, Glitz and Glam Shimmer and Shine Deluxe Sampler, My First Makeup Kit Deluxe Sampler. Visit www.sephora.com to learn more about them or pop into your local Sephora today!

FACE Stockholm’s Dramatic Fall 2009 Collection

Face Stockholm Fall 2009

I love FACE Stockholm’s exciting seasonal looks. For fall, they have come out with a collection that is as wearable as it is dramatic. The products used on the model in the photo are:

COLOR ESSENTIALS
Beloved Lipstick — deep, berry-red
Tuija Lip Pencil — dark red
Generös & Utsökt Matte Eye Shadows — Generös is a soft terracotta, and Utsökt is light cream 
Myrrah Brow Shadow — a beautiful dark warm brown
Rome & Hudson Crème Blush — Rome is a matte pinky-bronze and Hudson is a soft shimmery peach.

To achieve the look in the photo, FACE Stockholm suggests:

For flawless porcelain skin, start with FACE Stockholm’s Picture Perfect Foundation in your favorite-skin flattering shade. Use Rome Crème Blush as a contour below the cheekbones and Hudson as a highlighter on the top of cheekbones. A little Myrrah Brow Shadow helps to create full, but groomed brows. Generös Matte Eye Shadow is best applied with our #39 Blender Brush in the crease of the lid, while Utsökt can be applied to the whole lid up to the brow. Our Lash Curler and Volumizing Black Mascara complete the eye. And for the all- important lip, apply Beloved Lipstick with our #18 Lip Brush over Tuija Pencil.

I think that the lipstick is beautiful, but more of a night color, unless you blot it and wear it as a stain. My favorite product is the brow powder as it is the perfect shade for me.
