My gold card arrived in its shiny golden presentation box last week (picture to come), so I took the opportunity to get down to my local Sephora for a little weekend splurging and here is February Sephora Haul in full glory.
Midweek I received an email from Sephora to confirm Laura Mercier had finally arrived in store (hallelujah) so had to try out the much-raved about finishing powder on my shopping list alongside the influenster favourite Origins Ginzing moisturiser and needed to replenish my Georgio Armani power fabric and Fenty pro filter foundations.
Let's take a look at what lovely new products I picked up!
SNEAK PEEK AT MY HAUL
+ Origins: GinZing Energy-Boosting Gel Moisturizer
Blogger favourite, I was pretty excited to try out the most raved moisturiser. The scent is fantastic, a fresh and zingy lightweight cream that freshens and brightens the skin. I apply first thing in the morning alongside a few spritzes of my Slay All Day - Green Tea & Ginger Setting Spray and I love the sensation and effect on my skin.
I love this Origins Energy-boosting gel and its a real winner for me that I will continue to use as a daily moisturiser.
+ Chanel Nailpolish: Nuvola Rosa & Verde Pastello
I have a vast collection of Chanel nail varnishes in an array of colours from the permanent to limited edition collections. I like the brush and find the coverage longlasting so always gravitate to Chanel polishes. These new colours from the spring-summer 2018 collection are beautiful and make a lovely fresh addition to my usual dark colour nail palette.
+ Laura Mercier: Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Ever since I heard about the concept of baking I had my eye on this translucent loose powder and Laura Mercier consistently feature on the no1 spot. With no stockists here in the UAE I continued to use my clinque loose powder, but low and behold I got my Sephora email that confirmed Laura Mercier had just landed so picked this up on my haul.
I am enjoying this powder and find the thin flour-like consistency easily applied with my new beauty blender. Its been setting my makeup in place all day even in the Dubai heat and doesn't look cakey or settle in fine lines that are now beginning to creep in - Eecck.
+ Georgio Armani: Power Fabric SPF 25 Foundation
My current favourite foundation. The full luminous coverage liquid foundation is lightweight and evens my skin tone. This is a restock purchase, and I am honestly not looking to branch out anytime soon.
+ Fenty Beauty: Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation
As mentioned before, I like to create my perfect foundation and mix two squirt GA and one squirt Fenty foundation and find this combo applied with a flat foundation brush is great and gives me full coverage without looking overly fake.
+ BEAUTYBLENDER: beautyblender pro
This nifty little blender is perfect for applying my loose power and dabbing off excess oil. This pro tool is a must for all makeup kits, and I highly recommend picking up the pro;
MY FREEBIES
+ Too Faced - Better Than Love Mascara Giftset (200 points)
Brilliant trio of full-sized mascara's, whenever this is the point gift I always pick this up. This set came with the classic Better than love (renamed for the UAE market) the waterproof equivalent and a nifty mascara remover, called melt off.
+ Colorful Eye Shadow Photo Filter Palette: Sunbleached Filter / Sephora Lipstick and Makeup Pouch (Gold Present)
I loved this cute little gold card freebie for spending X amount haha. Especially liked the gorgeous full-sized Sephora branded palette in really pretty neutral tones.
+ Marc Jacobs Birthday Gift
This cute little trio of essentials perfect little pressie for my birthday freebie and the mini lipstick doll sized is adorable.
