Chanel + Sephora haul

Not too long ago, Sephora had their annual friends and family sale where they offered 20% off everything online. Then a few weeks later, I received a beautiful invitation and discount code for their VIB sale, which offered another 20% off that could be used in store, as well as online.

I tried not to go crazy, and I think I did OK. I only got a few things that I had been eying for a while, and replenished some things that I was almost out of.

I only got one thing from the friends and family sale (the Dior Mitza Quint) so I just threw it in with everything else.

Then from Chanel,

I picked up Pirate nail polish, and their limited edition lash curler.

I’m excited to play in it all, and test it out. Reviews and comparisons to come! I’d love to hear if you got any goodies from either of the sales!

In the meantime, I shall talk to you in the next one!

Product Rave: YSL Golden Gloss

I’ve had these for a while, so I can honestly say that I love them!

On a random and impulsive Sephora trip, I tested one out on my hand, and ended up leaving with 4…along with a few other necessities, but I digress…

They’re said to have flecks of real 24 karat gold in in them…which I imagine gives them their sparkle.

From left to right, #2, #10, #7, and #12, shown above with flash, and below without.

Overall, these are among my favorite lip products. I love the way they reflect sunlight, and sparkle. They’re absolutely gorgeous, but priced at $30 each, I doubt I’ll explore too many more colors. But I have to say, I’m happy with the ones I have, and highly recommend them. They’re long wearing and not at all sticky. My only issue is that at the end of the day, the glitter seems to migrate to just about every other part of my face…but what girl doesn’t want to sparkle?

Well, until the next one,
