~ ♣ Sephora loots ♣ ~

ello Sweethearts! My Sephora loot arrived a few days ago so I've had some time to test drive the products. Overall I'm very happy with my purchases, especially the Moscow Palette for an amazing $10.

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional 

• [ + ] Made my pores appear smaller and gave my skin a nice, smooth finish
• [ + ] Didn't clog my pores
• [ + ] Didn't look dull
• [ - ] My cream blush seems to negate the smooth effects.  I had to put a bit more on after the blush
• [ - ] Had to reapply a few times a day to keep the effect going
• [ - ] PRICE $28 is a bit steep

Overall I like this product, I don't really mind reapplying because I do touch-ups during the day anyway.  Plus it's nice to be able to have that smooth look without caking on the powder all day. 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

• [ + ] It does what it says...my shadow stays much better than without it.  I do still get a bit of creasing but only with very glittery or textured shadows.

Stila Make An Impression In Moscow Travel Palette

• [ + ] Love this!  You can't beat this palette for $10.  The set contains Stila's award-winning Eye Shadows in four trend-setting shades: Matruschka (beige), Chill (pale blue), Nadia (orange copper), and Mink (brown). The wintery palette also includes Convertible Color in Lily, a sheer, hydrating pink shade that's ideal for creating a naturally flushed, cold-weather glow. A must have, especially for those of us blessed with green eyes..the copper color is amazing.
