All Things Sephora

I bought the sephora pro brush 55 ? Can anyone share how they use their brush. Also does it really work for liquids and powder. I have the limited edition snow leopard One and I'm sure I purchased it because of the design. Also omg loving Kat von d foundation. Does anyone own the elixir primer. I have a sample but that's it.

I got that one in gratis.. didn't love it, I actually barely use it.
I think I used it once hahah.. It's too soft and I feel like it takes forever to blend my foundation. I wouldn't even know how to use it with powder since it's so .. not dense :/

I wanted to love the KVD Foundation, but it clings onto my dry patches so bad... I wonder if there's a better primer I can use so that doesn't ocurr.

I first saw these in Rome back in 2012 when a couple of my friends bought some. They were hard to resist but I managed to talk myself out of getting one. Cut to May of last year and I end up with 3 Furla bags in one day - a shoulder bag from a consignment shop, a clutch on clearance, and then found a hot pink Candy bag on clearance for 90 euro! Couldn't pass that up!

Thats awesome! Furla makes beautiful well made handbags. My favorites.

Just fling them over the other shoulder!!!

I leave you two unattended for five minutes and you're out of control....Hubs walked into the den & asked what
I was laughing at--------I read him these posts!

Snorted---loudly

Teetering on TMI

The bag or my boobs

I'm STILL giggling to myself over the flaming handbags

I was pretty tired last night LOL!!!!

noooo.... I get into trouble every time I start browsing the purse forum and now I come here and the current topic is purses

I'm a LV whore

but I'm in need of a black bag so I'm going to venture off into the Celine world in April when we get married in Paris. I'm currently eyeing the large Phantom in black & gold and the black croc.

Aww that sounds like such a romantic wedding getaway. Paris is such a beautiful romantic place, especially at night. You must do one of the late night dinner cruises on the River Seine if you can. I highly recommend it!

I got one of them in a kit.. let me check the name..Maldives! It's beautiful I love it, it's a really nice bronzer. I want the full size

Thanks! That's the one I was thinking of getting. I would love to try a Guerlain bronzer, but can't justify $50 for bronzer.

I was able to get my hands on the Marsala cheek trio yesterday. It's very pretty and the color is buildable, I like! It reminds me of a fashion fair blush I own that I am deathly afraid will be discontinued lol.

The marsala lipstick was sold out unfortunately, so I wasn't able to swatch.

The cheek trio is pretty! I was on the fence about it, I swatched it in store, my bf said it looked nice and told me to just get it so hey who am i to put up a fight LOL
I was lucky enough that when I picked it up I was able to snag that and the lipstick. Surprisingly I havent used either yet

The button only tracks your use if you click on it. Most times I just ignore it and won't click it until I'm actually ready to purchase. It can be a bit annoying having the banner flashing at the top of your page but it's a really helpful reminder. I'm like that too. I always look for the most original style. I hate seeing people with the same stuff I have - unless it's makeup lol. I've been dying to get a Chloe bag! They are so gorgeous. I visited the LV store in Paris in summer 2013 and was like OMG, these prices are obscene looooll. I have to apply an exchange rate for the US dollar too (2 to 1) so I was like, NEXT! I will get one some day though because they are gorgeous and a good investment. We have an LV store here where you can get stuff duty free so that's most likely where I would make my purchase.

I'm glad you can get it for less! I got the quilted leather CK bag I use for work more than half off! Certain styles and textures just appeal to me. I thank God I'm so not into the "it" bags like the Spy bag or Birkins etc lol I never expected to like the LV bag I saw but damn it looked good lol then she hooked a charm across the straps.. I don't even like those things usually lol But even if I could buy it, I just can't, if you know what I mean lol

I love the Marsala cheek trio, it is beautiful, so soft too.

Yup. I know exactly what you mean 'cause I could very well buy it, but I can't lol. I bought a Coach bag last January from one of their outlets and it was such a ridiculous clearance pice, I had to have it. I have work it to work almost everyday over the last 10 months and it still looks brand new. My only qualm about it is it doesn't have a zip top and with the amount of stuff I have in my bag, I really don't need everyone to see my ish lol. I know what you mean about the "it" bags. I really like the Michael Kors ones but now everybody and their mama has one.... *sigh* I'll just hold on to the one I do have and call it a day.

I feel you on the zip top. Glad to hear about the Coach bag, I love not paying retail lol I'm sorry that I wasted money on Guess bags early on because the materials and durability just can't compare but I didn't know any better and didn't have much access to anything. Aw, I hear you on the MK. I love the look of this older MK bag, the Bedford bowling satchel. Looks so soft and roomy but a bit awkward for me to carry.

Question: Has anyone tried the Kat Von D tattoo concealer? If so how is the coverage and staying power? I'm thinking about getting it to spot treat some acne scars that wont go away w/ lightening serums. 

Have you heard of Frank Body? It's supposed to be amazing for acne scars and stretch marks and a bunch of other things. I have it and it's awesome but I don't use it often enough to see a change yet lol

Oooh that Bedford Bowling satchel is one I was looking at too but I feel you on the awkward bit. I find some of their bags, including the one I own have handles that are way too small so they're more suited to wearing over your arm as opposed to over your shoulder. I prefer to have the option to wear it both ways *sigh*

I had one guess bag and it was amazing. It was a large denim satchel with their logo all over it, but it was still cool. I loved the hell out of that thing and it was pretty pricey, too. Especially for me back then when all I carried were H&M bags. :haha:

Oh, yeah! Definitely.

Lol I have a nice Gibraltar crossbody and a Debut crossbody (that I gave my goddaughter) that held up well and a Wanderlust satchel w. wallet (just gave to my mom lol) that's some sort of fabric and that's in good condition, although it holds dust in a way that Coach sateen and jacquard don't seem to, but the other bags were some sort of pvc or something that peeled over time :-/ I sure learned the value of leather, all right

I convinced myself that I don't need the cheek trio. Don't make me look at it again. I couldn't find the Marsala lipstick in stock anywhere so I just ordered it. Which Fashion Fair blush do you love? I've been eyeing a few myself.

I have that brush as well! I don't like it very much with liquid foundations. My hakuhodo and beauty blender do a better, quicker job. I put it away for a few months but brought it out again at the end of summer to use with my Guerlain pearls. I like applying them with that brush, so that's what I use it for now!

Any thoughts on the 2015 BI NARS birthday gift?

I have oiliy skin. But I can see how it could cling. The texture is very thick

Ok thank you. This was my first brush purchase with sephora so I didn't know any better. Are they any brushes you suggest ? I'm still on the hunt for the perfect blending brush already have mac 217. Also need perfect under eye concealer brush.
