And now I wanna show you exactly what I purchased and give a little review. Obviously this will be more of a blogpost for the ladies. If you don't care for makeup feel free to just scroll down and read the other post. If you like makeup, keep reading.
Let's get started:
Those are the only items I can't really review cause I didn't open them yet. But I can tell you what they are.
The Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion Gift box.
I always get annoyed by using a body wash that smells like X then using a lotion that smells like Y and a parfume that smells like Z.
With this box I got all these things with the same scent. YAY.
And it's a good one too. It smells like a mix of vanilla and coconut.
I already got something like this with another fragrance but I think I can't go wrong with another box for $10. Yes, that's 10!!! for a body wash, a lotion and a body spray.
The other item is Wen Cleansing Conditioner. Nicole bought one and I used hers. It is just THE BEST. I can't even discribe it, it's so good.
It smells so fresh and fantastic, also it makes your hair super soft and hydrates it well.
Usually I loose a little bit of hair when I wash it, with this I don't loose ANY. Don't know how it works but it works. It is quite pricey though. $35 is a lot for a conditioner. It is however a big bottle and I think it will last me a while. You can use it as a shampoo, conditioner or a leave in. I absolutely love it. Hopefully they'll sell it in Germany soon too for a reasonable price.
The exact conditioner I got is "lemon rosemary vanilla bean". It smells really good =)
The next items are foundations:
NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in the shade "Alaska".
It is definitely one of my favorite purchases of that day.
The coverage is amazing for a tinted moisturizer.
And the thing I like most about it is that it stays where you put it.
It doesn't move ALL DAY.
It feels hydrating (it's quite liquidy), it doesn't emphasize any dry spots or peach fuzz.
It would be perfect if it wasn't for one tiny thing: The smell. It doesn't stink but it's very parfumy.
I'm actually suprised that it doesn't give me a rash cause most products with parfume do that. But to be honest the smell almost doesn't bother me, it's just for a quick second and then it's over.
Now to the other product.
The Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo.
It says it has a medium coverage but I personally think it's high coverage.
It does what it's supposed to do.
It covers my redness without making me look like I'm wearing a mask (other than my Art Deco Camouflage Concealer).
My shade is "Camel" and it's practically made for me.
Doesn't it just make you so happy when you find the PERFECT shade? So yeah I'm pretty happy with those two. Both WAY BETTER than the MAC foundation I used before even though I love MAC.

The next item is my absolute favorite of the bunch. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. It offers 3 dark shades, 2 light ones and a fantastic highlighter. It's $40 and worth every single Dollar.
My skin has a yellow undertone and for some reason it's really hard to find a bronzer that isn't all red. This one finally has the right colors for my skin. The powder is well pigmented and goes on so smoothly. It blends amazingly too. I usually use the lighter shades to set my under eye concealer and the shade in the middle on the bottom row to contour. The highlighter is just perfect. It has no stupid glitter just a really nice shimmer. So basically exactly what you want in a highlighter. I don't know guys, it's just the perfect contour kit for me. I LOVE it.

Another item that I absolutely love is the Stila "Windows are the window" eyeshadow palette in "soul". Let me start off with the packaging: LOVE IT. It looks so fancy, and it should for $48.
Also, worth every penny. It comes with a little booklet with three different looks and what colors were used. It has various matte colors and mostly shimmery colors, all in the nude family. Also a big mirror as you can see. I haven't tried all the colors yet but the ones I used are amazing. I love the pigmentation and the texture. It seems light and almost creamy even though it's powder. It stays where you put it without creating any fallout. The shimmer is very suddle, so perfect for a day makeup.
I don't think there is anymore to say about this other than how amazing it is, but I think I mentioned that already. I definitely recommend it!
Okay guys, almost done. This one is a little more special. The Laura Mercier Flawless Face Kit in the color Nude.
It includes: a travel bag, two concealer brushes, a concealer pot with two shades and a transluscent powder, a primer, a tinted moisturizer and two sponges. It has a $159 value for only $65.
I haven't tried the primer and tinted moisturizer yet but I'm a really big fan of the concealer.
I am in love with that thing. It has great coverage and i stays on like nobodys business.
It might not survive blowing your nose but it's really close. If you touch your face that concealer won't be bothered by it all, even light scratching is okay. It only moves A LITTLE when rubbing. Still it does a WONDERFUL job in my opinion. Way better than the Art Deco camouflage concealer I used. I'm actually thinking about getting the full size of that concealer.
The sponges are okay, I mean they're sponges, I don't think there's a lot to mess up here.
The brushes are also fantastic. I'm glad I can add them to my collection, I didn't have any concealer brushes before. I'm very happy with this kit and I can't wait to use it to its full potential.
Alright, we're reaching the finish line. Last items.
The Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer.
Also one of my favorites.
It makes your skin feel amazing.
It feels super smooth and it evens out the skin, also it makes your pores appear smaller.
Basically it's like adding a diffuser filter to your face. It's magical. It's $39. There might be cheaper options but I haven't found them yet. This primer definitely makes me very happy and most importantly it doesn't give me a rash.
So about the other products on the picture.
When you buy a bunch of stuff at Sephora you earn points with the sephora card.
With my purchases I made 300 points and I was able to chose a couple free items.
Not all of the "free" products were so interesting, so I got the Clinique moistorizer twice. I like it but I don't love it. Not yet anyways. We'll see how it goes after using it for a while.
The other free item is a texture spray for your hair.
To be honest, I'm not sure why it's called spray. Maybe mine is broken cause it doesn't spray it ejaculates the product. It literally looks like jizz =D.
Also I can't really tell the difference with it in my hair. Maybe I didn't use enough. But so far I prefer some dry shampoo to get some texture. But "einem geschenkten Gaul, schaut man nicht ins Maul" am I right Mädels?
Heyyyy, we made it. My first beauty blog. Let me know if I'm forgetting something super important. If you have questions about the products feel free to ask in the comment section.
