All Things Sephora

[v0ltagekid]

when i first swatched it i kneeeeeew i couldn't leave without it. it felt sooo good and surprisingly didnt kick back powder. its so velvety smoooth like rubbing a baby azz or something. im glad i went with the hi def one tho cuz the peachy tone for the highlight will better suit my tone. the middle shade would be more like a banana powder which can come off ashy for me!

i just put one shade in my loves section cuz i've heard good things about it. im more of a neutral natural nail polish type of gal so i chose flourescent beige. i've been loving formula x right now and i honestly never paid alot for nail polishes but im willin to invest in a good shade i know i'll wear as a staple!!

i think im gonna re-up some funds to save up for april and do a huge haul. i now want MJ J'adore lippie and that liner set still avail...does anyone know if it's perm?

Also i wanna do that becca eye brightner corrector which seems to go in and out of stock!! **le sigh** i know imma drop at LEASSSST $200!!!

I tried the eye brightener at the store, my old co worker gave me a sample.
I'm like NC30ish, and it was too light for me, however when I put the concealer on top (I used Becca Honeycomb), it covered the ashyness of the eye brightener.

This is what I sent my friend, sorry for the naked face haha... I hope I don't scare anyone. One side has both and one has none.

voltage...yea i wanna use the becca corrector under concealer. my circles be bout as black as wesley snipes mmmm kaaay and we're about the same complexion. im nc35-ish pretty much. there's an ELF eye brightener i love as well that i used under concealer and i can barely find em anymore! i'll do a sample then before committing. thanx for the pic and no u dont look crazy lol, im actually quite jealous u have such gorgeous full brows!!

Do you think the MJ Dreamer Contour powder is too dark for an NC 20/25? I'm really loving the pink on that since I have pinky undertones.

"it's so velvety smooth like rubbing a baby azz or something. " #ihollered

you ain't lyin though, that's real! I almost got the hi def filter but the peach tone was not light enough, so I went with mirage filter. Do you find that the highlight shade minimizes your pores?

I ordered three shades of the nail lacquer lastnight, I will update this thread on how I like it, maybe include some pics too! That florescent beige is so pretty! I'm usually a nudes girl with polish, but in the spring summer I punch up my mani with bright colors!

And I will be right there with you for the April sale! I'm trying to narrow it down to $300...smh, I'm at $500 right now...i must hide the receipts, my husband doesn't understand my passion!

Have not ventured into the BECCA brand for some reason...do u like that brand?

My dark circles are like my worst enemy. I have tried every concealer out there and corrector. I have dry undereye area also, so if I wear something too thick or too dry it won't work and it looks worse.
I thought this one wasn't hydrating but it wasn't dry, and it worked pretty well under the concealer like I said. I think then maybe it will work for u, but I would never use it alone, it was so so ashy looking. Definitely get a little sample first. My brows are my pride lmao, it's been a long road to keep them like that hahah, still working on the perfect shape, but they are my favorite
Am I allowed to say my brows are my favorite feature? lmao

Which colors of nail lacquer did u get? I want a few..

My boyfriend stopped asking prices, he just told me to not make us poor haha..

He knows it is what it is

i'm think it will get product of the year! i think it's not getting the attention as it's expensive and only has 2 shades as all the other 100 contour kits come with more powders so i think people will just naturally be drawn to a product that has more colors + more product for less money......not everyone can get to a store always so these are hard to understand until you swatch and see on your face i think!

if his blushes were anything like his contour duo's i'd be all over them! some girl at sephora told me MJ like to focus on lips and eyes and does only light natural face thus the blushes being so under-pigmented (the ones i tried at least)

so happy you love it too! did you get the brush? you must, simply you must!!

is that the 20 or 40? i think you would be ok with 40 - i did 60 (i forgot all names) and i am like a NC 30+, my coloring seems to work well with m/u for dark skin tones vs. med skin tones - i am both NC/NW plus i have no olive and if i go in sun for even short time with spf i can bump up fast....

if you are close to a Sephora then def stop by and try one one each side but i have seen quite a few very fair girls using 20 so i think 40 would be your best bet! HTH

funny girl, snap!, oui, ultraviolet, lola and shocking...might go back for le charm, daisy and blue velvet if they perform to my liking! They have things they like to slurge on and so do we! We (women) just happen to like A LOT of things lol!!

 

[pbpink]

if you like a white MJ has a stunning NP called blanche, i have only seen online but that was around xmas when i bought it, i am a HUGE white nail girl! i bought the NAILS INC victoria beckem set as i was going to get the white anyway plus saks had a 10% off m/u that day and a GWP when you spent over $25 on NAILS INC with a free full size np, i think GWP is still there

NAILS INC is amazing polish, holy cow, love the applicator - the nail salons here won't use the chanel NP brushes, she went to put one of their applicators in my polish and i was like iweeeee, so i just picked my essie picket fence! i never tried NAILS INC until i grabbed their version of dior glow (it's not pink though, i love it, it's on S website) around christmas

has anyone used nails inc? i guess i've been under a rock!

I don't think it would be too dark. It just looks slightly dark in the pan.

My lighting isn't the best. This is Dream Filter, but the light side is this pretty peachy pink and the dark side is maybe a medium cocoa shade at most.

I'm loving Sephora's flash shipping. I got my first two Dolce & Gabbana items today, along with my second
Algenist VIB/VIBR Gift Trio. The blush is much more vibrant than my lousy iPad camera has captured. Both the
blush, Luminous Cheek Colour, Raspberry 45 and the Intense Colour Lipgloss, Bouganville 105 are just
gorgeous.

I LOVE THIS! how does it wear? stunning! heard good things about DG blushes, i think tan is a popular one! this is everything, wow! i can't start in on another m/u line........do not enable me, i beg you! (not like you need to as picture had me about to order from S, eeekkkkkk!)

I think I got some before in a glossybox, I liked Nails Inc, was never disappointed.

I think it might be a little dark but you could make it work, right brush and technique, soft application.

I agree, because I had NO idea how good it was until I went into Sephora and swatched it. Hands down, this should win contour product of the year! Its like no other I swatched the blushes, was not wowed either. I do however LOVE the lip pencils and the lip creams! I am going to try out one if not two of his brushes, I've been curious but your encouragement helped me to take that leap!...I JUST told my husband I need to go back to Sephora today (i went yesterday) he looked at me with a blank stare, then smiled and said "ok babe" I love him

 

[LV2EVOLVE]

Even my photo is coming off as too dark. When I tilt the product around I can tell the tone looks different. The light side is very much a neutral skin tone with like no pink and the dark side is a medium cocoa.

def look at face II, contour + concealer brushes (did i say this already? sorry if repeat!) for bronzer i would put that money toward a TF bronzer brush as the cost of MJ bronzer is high like $80 i think, for like $25 more you can TF goat hair, made in japan, soft beauty!! just a thought!

i love a good hubby, happy wife = happy life!! hah! enjoy your trip, i want either MJ lip pencil or the CT pillow talk, not sure what to do, if MJ is a lot less then i may just get his! MJ has done well with his new goodies, i feel like he up'ed his game big time

oh, the contour blush (shhh, i want 20 + 40 too, they just rock! if only a m/u fairy would leave a few under my pillow like the tooth fairy does for my twins! ahhhh)

Thanks for the advice! And no, you didnt repeat yourself! Even if you did, a reminder is good When I really really want something, I make a vision board. I make sure to put it in a place where I can see it often. At the end of the month, I reflect on how close I am to the goals whether they be large goals or small ones. You would be surprised at what looking at something verses thinking about something can do as it pertains to making things happen! You have twins?! Ive always wanted twins!!! #luckylady

oohhhhh, you be careful what you wish for! they are a handful! yes, I'm very lucky + blessed and to have healthy twins + boy/girl too! (they drive me coo-coo though as mine are highly active as in they never stop but they have always slept like rock stars!) it was quite the shock at 1st doctor appt when doctor said there is two, I assumed he meant 2 hands and 2 feet! not what he meant at ALL!!

Oooh that looks really pretty!! When we got [COLOR=181818]m928 eggplant [/COLOR] in store the first day, I bought it, I knew it was gonna be gone asap xD I'm so jelly, I want that bronzer I have so many tho.. xD Bronzer I do always finish tho, I will buy it at the sale in April. What's your skin type? I've been wondering about the foundation. Is that the one that has a fragrance? I think the brushes are great and totally worth it. Especially the foundation brush  Yup, I want all of them hahha... 

Yep.....

I tried the eye brightener at the store, my old co worker gave me a sample.  I'm like NC30ish, and it was too light for me, however when I put the concealer on top (I used Becca Honeycomb), it covered the ashyness of the eye brightener.  This is what I sent my friend, sorry for the naked face haha... I hope I don't scare anyone. One side has both and one has none.

Looks really good!!
