It's that time of year for spring cleaning and this shouldn't only apply to your house and your closet but your beauty products as well. Why? Because all products have an expiry date and perhaps it's time to fish through the oldies and replace them with newies from my favorite store. All products mentioned are sold exclusively at SEPHORA (1-877-SEPHORA), where else? It's products like this that make me love working in this industry: Her cut shampoo and conditioner- from 22 to 28 dollars you can get a product perfectly designed not only for your hair type but also for your hair style. Imagine that your pixie, shag, or long layers now have a catalyst that with a simple wash and rinse will actually set your hair into place-now don’t picture a hard hair sprayed look that doesn’t move, instead imagine yourself leaving the salon with a fresh cut do and fast forward to the following day or the following week where your hair will take on the same style you left the salon with; Chemically formulated to deliver great results by locking your style in place so you can achieve the same look you got from the salon time and time again.
Of all the latest, hottest, hippest makeup lines to enter the world of SEPHORA, introducing Tarina Tarantino- with her delicious array of colors you’ll want to seriously experiment with them all. What I love most about her line is that it inspires me to be more creative with my hues and shades. Why play it safe all the time? After work hours explore the brilliance of color- best of all, not only are her products playful and bold they’re fantastic quality too. I’d have to say my favourite is the SPARKLICITY SHIMMER DUST at $39 USD. If you want an all over shimmer that doesn’t look too childish or trashy, voila! I really love that it’s more of a shimmer than a sparkle as well...in other words, the shimmer beads are smaller leaving a very sexy glow to your skin as opposed to an ‘I’m going to a rave’ look. To keep it on a little longer, put some cream on your body first. If you want something a little more for the face, go for the Pearl Glow Primer that adds youthfulness to the skin when applied. Guess the shine deflects the light that would normally settle on your fine lines and wrinkles. YAY for a non intrusive way to look young!
OPA to the Greeks who came up with Korres and the wonderful skincare line-the Wild Rose Triple Benefits Skin Care Collection is a sure bet when it comes to a great moisturizer and age defying system. They are practically GIVING this away at only $54 USD when the real value is $130. This product line is free of sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals or any of the other bad things that ironically derive your skin the supposed best treatment. If you are anything like me and have tons of opened cream jars in your drawer a quarter empty, it might be a sign you have not found the right skin care line perfect for you. Korres is not worth just trying, it is worth buying and once you do I am sure you will love the difference in both the look and feel of your face.
Korres has another great deal at $39.50 in their smoky eyes kit. It is not just about the eyes in this package however, you also have some lip action gong on with a lip gloss to compliment your newly done up peepers. Mascara, eye shadows, eye liner, and a lip gloss all formulated with active natural ingredients for enhanced color performance. Perhaps once you try the skin care line you will trust that their makeup line is just as deserving for props.
Where do I begin with my ultimate favorite SEPHORA find, Color Play - 5 in 1 ($150 Value) for only $29.50...this versatile eye, lip, and cheek set is fantasttttic! It is not your usual palette which someone like myself with at least 5, can appreciate; there are 5 mini palettes to choose from within one BIG palette, and can remove your favorite from the home case and carry it around in a small portable compact. Each eye and cheek look has a color story if you will and depending on your mood, you can change your story daily!
Each of the sub categories contains - 10 x Eye shadows - 2 x Lip colors - Blush This might honestly be the only color palette you will ever need and will get the creative beauty parts of your brain working overtime.
