I went to Sephora today after work and I felt like I was losing my mind because I was just going around and around looking at every little thing to see how I can take advantage of the sale. In the end I bought 2 things: The Huda Beauty Contour and Strobe kit in Trophy Wife and a mini Lancome Cils Booster Mascara. I spent an hour putting stuff in my bag and putting it back just to end up with that! Anyway, I love the color Trophy Wife and the strobe color is to die for. I'm keeping it, but it's not my fave liquid lip formula. It's thin and on my pigmented lips it's not as opaque in one swipe (which is why it's good that this set comes with a lip liner), it's not transfer-proof and it's a bit sticky. I kissed the back of my hand and there was traces of it there and I rubbed my lips together and felt the tackiness, but that doesn't bother me too much since I don't normally rub my lips together.
I picked up the Tarte Toasted palette, but I changed my mind. That brown sparkly shade infused with gold reminds me of Mac's Sparkle Neely, Sparkle and I loved that shade so much. Still, I don't rock with Tarte hard enough to spend that much on it. I'll watch some youtube videos and see if that can change my mind.
The Huda mini smokey eye palette I bought is a little underwhelming. The colors are pigmented, but blending seemed to make them all melt together to the point where you're like ??? Where'd the shades go? I used 4 shades and it just didn't look as crisp as it should've. I know I'm rusty on my blending, but...I think it's the shadows.
I was going to get the Clarins toner that I was recommended, but one of the SA's told me they stopped carrying that brand. Some locations still do, but not them. She told me to try a Caudalie essence and she put some on my hand. It smelled SO bad. Holy crap, there is no way I could put that on my face and I could not get it off my hand fast enough. Oh well.
I'm going to hop on the Sephora site now and see what else I can get LOL. I think I might get the Huda mini lip set in red and I'll see what else.
