Sephora Product Review

  
Yesterday I took a trip to Sephora and grabbed a few pieces that I think are pretty essential and I thought would be great to review.  I was very happy with the results and the quality of the products.  I decided to review the products and then share some photos and an easy how-to tutorial!

First we have: 
                                                                                            FIRST IMPRESSION:

MicroSmooth Baked Sculpting Contour Trio-Sassy-$21.00

 

When I first opened the trio I absolutely loved the colors.  The beautiful Pink color is perfect for Spring and Summer.  The Bronzer was the perfect color and went beautifully with the blush.  The highlighter was also beautiful and has the perfect amount of shimmer.

WHAT IT IS:
An exclusive, must-have trio featuring a luminizer, matte-satin blush, and bronzer to contour and highlight perfectly

WHAT IT DOES:
Only at Sephora—This three-in-one formula is made of ultra-light, micronized pigments that effortlessly blend to enhance skintone and give you a flawless, no-makeup look and feel. The coordinated trio includes a luminizer for highlighting cheekbones, a matte-satin blush to make cheeks pop, and a matte-satin bronzer to contour and define. Use all three for seamless, natural-looking radiance.

WHAT IT IS FORMULATED...WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates











Next Is:


10HR Wear Perfection Foundation-$20

FIRST IMPRESSION:
I chose this foundation in the color Ivory.  It blended in flawlessly with my skintone and has amazing coverage.  Although it is medium coverage I found personally it seemed to be more on the full coverage side, but also felt incredibly light weight when wearing it.

WHAT IT IS:
A foundation with buildable coverage that instantly conceals blemishes with an invisible, flawless finish.

WHAT IT DOES:
Conceal blemishes, pigmentation marks, scars, and dark spots with this foundation that provides a natural, beautiful finish. This formula blends with your skintone to create an invisible veil, like a second skin that adapts to all the movements of the face for optimum comfort all-day long. Hyaluronic acid smooths the skin, while antioxidant vitamin E protects against external stressors. Soft focus pigments blur out blemishes and soften the appearance of wrinkles for a youthful-looking, even complexion. 

                                                                                 WHAT IT IS FORMULATED...WITHOUT:
                                                                                 - Parabens



Last we have:                                                                      
                                                                                  FIRST IMPRESSION:


Contouring 101 Face Palette-$28.00

This was probably the product that I was most excited about yesterday.  I was looking around for a contour palette that I thought had the best colors for my skintone and that was affordable.  When I saw this at Sephora I was so pleased to see the colors on the palette AND the  price ($28.00).

WHAT IT IS:
An exclusive pressed powder palette for  contouring and highlighting.

WHAT IT DOES:
Only at Sephora—this do-it-all contouring palette contains five perfectly selected shades in a single pan to sculpt and slim the face. Use the shades individually or mix and match to suit any face shape. Just choose the sculpting shade of your choice or combine shades and apply under cheekbones, along the sides of the nose or forehead, or under the jawline. Use the highlighting shades to brighten under the eyes and down the bridge of the nose for a naturally defined or dramatically sculpted look.

 

 
 


So I just recently went to Sephora and bought a few more  products.  Here they are:

Sephora Colorful Blush-True Kiss-$15.00

                                                                              
FIRST IMPRESSION: 
When I first saw this blush I thought it was such a beautiful color.  It is a very pretty and subtle pink.  After applying it I was a little concerned when I could barely notice it.  Once I got to playing with this product a little more I fell in love with it.  TIP: Use a few applications to really get the full effect.

WHAT IT IS:
A collection of long-lasting buildable blushes.

WHAT IT DOES:
Available in an extended range of shades with matte, satin, and shimmer finishes, these blushes deliver a natural, long-lasting result. The ultra-sheer texture blends perfectly into the skin without caking, allowing for buildable intensity of color. 



Full Action Extreme Effect Mascara-Black-$12.00

FIRST IMPRESSION: 
I got the Extreme Effect Mascara in Black.  When I first tried it I instantly fell in love with it.  I highly recommend this product.  It did such a wonderful job of lengthening, thickening and darkening my lashes.

WHAT IT IS:
A mascara that creates beautiful, thick lashes in a single brush stroke.

WHAT IT DOES:
The first seven-in-one mascara, this product's multi-dimensional brush separates lashes as it coats them   from root to tip




8 HR Mattifying Compact Foundation-Ivory-$22.00

FIRST IMPRESSION:
When I first applied this product I thought it had great coverage.  Not only did it apply flawlessly but it also blended and matched my skin tone perfectly.

WHAT IT IS:
 An oil-free compact foundation that mattifies skin completely for up to eight hours and ensures a shine-free finish all day long.

WHAT IT DOES:
This oil-free compact foundation instantly mattifies with results that last for up to eight hours, revealing a natural, flawless complexion with zero shine all day long. Along with containing micronized pigments that blend into the skin, this wonder foundation reduces the appearance of pores, evens out the complexion, and hides imperfections for a perfectly smooth complexion. Bonus: it comes packaged in an elegant compact with an exclusive design that includes a wide mirror for touch-ups throughout the day as well as an ergonomic half moon-shaped sponge to apply compact foundation precisely and flawlessly.
