Sephora Haul& Mini Reviews

It has been awhile since I have purchased anything from Sephora, but no worries.  That changed this week. 
The first item I got was the Sephora Skin Perfect CC Cream.  After reading reviews, I was very curious about this one.  It has better reviews than high end CC creams and after trying it, I like it a lot.  It has a creamy texture and has great coverage.  I bought Fair, which matches perfectly.  It is a bit pricey at $26, but the quality is great.
Up next is Sephora's Microsmooth Luminizer in Stardust.  Absolutely lovely, and it is a dupe for NARS' Albatross, but a heck of a lot cheaper at $12.
Now for the skincare.  I believe skincare is an important investment, which you will see by my recent Shiseido buys. My wallet cried, but my skin is looking quite nice.  I went with their Pureness Line for my oily skin and it is making a difference.  I notice my skin gets less oily during the day and small blemishes are starting to vanish.  This line does not dry my skin out, either.  I also got their Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask. I've only used it once, but there are things I like. For one, it doesn't irritate my eye area.  The skin under my eyes also felt tighter and more smooth.  I also apply any residual product to my face and had the same results.


This is proving to be a highly successful haul since I am loving every single thing.  If you haven't tried Shiseido yet, go get some samples already =) They have a great line of skincare.
