Sephora haul and makeover

On Wednesday (5/9) I made a little trip over to Sephora to pick up a new concealer and some more of the Urban Decay De-Slick face spray (that stuff is AMAZING!! I've ranted about it before). I had been using the Boing concealer from Benefit, now while this is a pretty good concealer I started to notice that it was creasing under my eyes and it wasn't lasting all day like it had before so I decided it was time to try something new. I went into Sephora and a blond girl (I THINK her name is Katie but I can't swear to it) asked if I needed some help with anything so I told her what I was looking for and what I had been previously using. She suggested the Dior concealer (I got it the color Honey). She took a little and put some on under my eyes to make sure the color was correct and I could immediately see the difference. Now its a little on the expensive side, and by expensive I'm talking $30 for a little tube but a little dot under each eye actually goes a long damn way. This stuff is awesome! It lasted all day and didn't crease. I recommend it if you are in need of a new concealer this is the one to get. 

I also picked up a red lip liner and red lipstick from Makeup Forever and the Super Saturated Lip Gloss in F-Bomb (totally dig the name) from Urban Decay. The liner I got is in 8c and the red lipstick is in N45. I LOVE the color of this lipstick. Its a little glossy without being sticky as some lipsticks like that tend to be. The color is pretty long lasting as well. The Lip Gloss from Urban Decay is amazing also. Great coverage and no need for a liner. It lasts quite awhile but like any lip gloss or lip stick you have to reapply. 

I got an email from Sephora as I'm sure other people did about the Makeover Event going on until May 22nd. While I was in on Wednesday I also made an appointment to use my free make over. I made the appointment for 230 but when I got there I had to wait about 15 minutes. Apparently there were several proms going on that day so there were a bunch of teenage girls running around the store getting their faces done. I actually ended up getting the girl who helped me on Wednesday to do my makeup. She did a really great job. I ended up with a really cool smokey blue eye and nude lips. I was super pleased with the blue. I was a bit skeptical about it but it turned out beautiful. She used a Dior foundation and 3 Urban Decay shadows as well as a Yves St. Laurent lipstick and a Nars lip gloss. I wish I had gotten the names of them now but I'm pretty sure I have similar colors of everything that she used. I love going in there when I need help with something make up related.. And not to mention its kind of nice to go in and have someone else make me look pretty. LOL

 I absolutely love Sephora (I bet you couldn't tell could you?) and I'll find just about any excuse to go in there. Even if it is just to look around. 

Till next time!
