Weekend Haul: Sephora CPH edition
Since the nearest Sephora to where I live is in another country (Singapore) and shipping here costs an arm and a leg, I was super, super excited when I found a mini-Sephora in Illum in Copenhagen. I hauled. But I think my hauling this time was much more subdued, I think I'm finally slowing down with my makeup hoarding. The stuff I got are really items that I want to try and one item that I've tried before and I really really want to use again. Here's my mini Sephora haul:
Glamglow Youthmud - I got to try this when I got a mini version in one of my Ipsy Glam bags. I have to say, it's one of best masks I've ever tried. It's also the most expensive. So I just got a mini version again. Read my full review here.
Sephora Formula X nail polish in Exclamation and Continuum - This is definitely an Essie Button-enabled purchase. She's crazy about this nail polish line so I had to try it. I have Continuum on my nails now but I dunno. I'm not feeling it. I mean it performs just as good as Essie nail polishes. The colors are nice and pretty but so are the Essie ones. I guess what I'm saying is I'd prefer to get the Essie ones which are much cheaper and easier to get a hold of. Still, I'm glad I got to try this brand. I'm wearing Exclamation next.
Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 03 Strawberry Kissed and 04 Endless Purple - Love! I found out about the product from Amelia Liana from Liana Beauty. She gushed about 01 Always Red which is a really really nice red color. I decided not to get that and just go for the pink and purple colors. I really like Endless Purple but I pair it with a nude lipstick on top to give it a 90s feel to it. Worn alone, it's very dark and goth, I'm not sure I can pull it off by itself. The pink one, on the other hand, is really bright. I haven't worn it ourside yet though. Both of them are very comfortable on the lips, not drying and it lasts a fairly long time. It faded after two meals!
