I
picked up some goodies from my amazing trip in Paris! Look at the damage I did!
The
first stop was Sephora. I picked up the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
in Light. It’s supposed to be oil free and perfect for acne-prone or sensitive
skin. It provides a smooth, matte finish. I specifically wanted to try it to
make my makeup stay on longer.
I
also wanted to pick up the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting spray.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t in stock that day and I had to go to the big Sephora
on the Champs-Elysées (which was INSANE). This setting spray should ‘keep your
makeup looking gorgeously just applied for up to 16 hours, without melting,
fading, or settling into fine lines.’ The result should be smoother-looking
skin and of course makeup that lasts all day. That’s why I bought it.
I
got this polish for free when I signed up for the Sephora membership card
(which was free). I’ve already tried it and love it!
Then
I went by the MAC store in the Quartier Latin. I exchanged my six back-to-mac
products for a lipstick. Originally, I had other lipsticks on my list, but
after three “Ce n’est pas en stock!” I decided to just go and look for
lipsticks I liked, instead of looking for the names such as Patisserie or Cream
Cup. I also picked up a blush.
I
ended up with this lipsticks I would normally never go for: Chatterbox.
Although I don’t usually like blue-toned pinks, this one just stole my heart
and I’ve already worn it so much!
Then
I also gave in and after almost a year of yearning for this blush, I purchased
the MAC mineralize blush in Love Thing. It looks stunning in the pan and on the
cheeks. The man at the counter said “Wouldn’t you like a pale pink better?” but
I stubbornly wanted Love Thing.
Then
of course, last but not least, I got me some Bioderma. A lot of it. My
boyfriend looked at me in doubt, but I explained how in the end, it would be a
lot cheaper when stocking up in Paris. He understood and even helped me carry
two damn litres of Bioderma. Now that’s true love.
Do
you own any of these items yourself? How do you like them?
Xoxo,
