Ridiculous Deal: Sephora clearance fishing.

Today as every week I go into Sephora and burrow through theirs entire clearance center. This week I found a Cinna-esqe gold eyeliner, and though I haven't been impressed by Sephora brand products in the past, I figured that it couldn't hurt to have some awesome gold eyeliner. I'll do an update as soon as I wear it. 

How it looks on me. 

Review: Physicians Formula Felt Tip Eye Marker

I had a coupon for Physicians Formula. Seeing how I'm the coupon  lady & needed mascara, what better time than that to try theirs? It was a great purchase. I close Ultra Black since my eyes are really dark brown. You apply it the same way you would with a felt tip marker. The line can range from a thin, fine tip to a thick, bold line. It dries quickly. The only thing that would make it perfect is being water proof. I love the variety it brings to the table.

Review: Urban Decay Book of Shadows III

Urban Decay: Book of Shadows III

I realized that there was a need for primer, eyeliner & eyeshadow at the same time so I went over to Sephora & looked for a pallete that would suit me. My brown skin poses a challenge as I need truer pigments. so that they come out boldly against my skin. I also figured since I needed eyeliner & primer, I might as well buy a kit & holiday season usually brings them with decent prices.

A while ago I purchased the Sephora Mascara Deluxe Sampler & there are a few brands that I really respected as far as mascara goes so I went to those brands first. Smashbox, Urban Decay & Benefit made the cut so I went there first. Smashbox didn't have what I was looking for. Their colors were bold but the largest quantity I could get was a quad. Benefit was more disappointing since bold colors were nowhere in sight. So I made my way to Urban Decay & saw several options that were in the same ballpark of what I wanted.

Urban Decay sells several collections, some with 8 colors, some with 12 colors and the big guns with 16 colors. I deliberated between the Black collection (for smoky eyes) but it didn't bring eyeliner & I already have several smoky palletes from Physician's Formula. Then I saw the Book of Shadows III- the motherload, exactly what I wanted. This brings bold, vibrant colors, primer, and two eyeliners. I felt a little guilty spending 60$ on this but then I realized 16$ primer, 18$ Eyeliner & a 32$ Eyeshadow palette would be 66$ so in reality I would have spent more buying them separately. Can't wait to upload my experimentations with this!
