I Heart Sephora

It's payday & time for a Sephora spending spree! Here are the new purchases:


This is going to smell yummy. I first smelled it in a Vouge magazine sample and have had my eye on it for a while. Here's the description.

Missoni: Luscious fruits. Exuberant florals. Tantalizing gianduia. Missoni is an irresistible weave of some of a woman's favorite indulgences. The sublime experience captures the luxe sensuality of a holiday at an Italian resort with notes of vibrant Italian bergamot, dewy rose, zesty bitter orange, addictive gianduia (a sweet chocolate containing hazelnut and almond paste), and fluid amber.

Notes: Radiant Yellow Accord, Bergamot, Magnolia, Loquat, Chocolate Brown Accord, Gianduia Chocolate, Amber, Magenta Pink Accord, Peony, Rose, Intense Oranges Accord, Mandarin, Bitter Orange, Persimmon.

Style: Modern. Spirited. Enticing.



Lemon Ginger Mint Manicure In A Jar

What it is: Hand exfoliant.

What it is formulated to do: Smoothes and soothes rough, dry, calloused hands, elbows, and feet, resulting in a fragrant, refreshing, cooling effect.


Lemon & Rose Hand Cream
A light lemon scent mingles with Bulgarian rose absolute to create an unforgettable moisturizing experience. Bulgarian rose absolute is suitable for all skin types and aids in cell rejuvenation. It is recognized worldwide as the ultimate rose oil. Bulgaria has a 330 year-old-tradition in essential rose oil distillation; approximately 4000 kilograms of petals are required to produce one kilogram of pure Bulgarian rose absolute.


I'm hoping this will help me with my pimple scars on my chin. I'm so fair-skinned that every pimple I get leaves a darker scar.

Steep Clean is an intensive enzymatic mask that, once activated, visibly dissolves blackheads, dead cells, dark spots, and debris, leaving your skin peachy-clean. It's a do-it-yourself facial, in fifteen minutes.
To use: Squeeze a grape-sized measure into the palm of your hand and blend the blue and yellow compounds together until they turn green. Massage onto the face, paying particular attention to those areas where blackheads, and congestion occur. Leave on 15 minutes then wipe off with a warm, wet washcloth. Use once per week.


I've got those stupid bumps on my upper arm and this is supposed to get rid of them. We'll see.

KP Duty Body Scrub
What it is: A dermatologist body scrub with chemical and physical medi-exfoliation.

What it is formulated to do: Medical-quality exfoliation requires more than scrubbing. Dry skin, flaky patches, and "chicken skin" bumps are held together by bonds that physical exfoliation alone can't break. KP Duty body scrub delivers serious medi-exfoliation for deeper, more thorough results. This dual-action chemical and physical exfoliator blends the best of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into a single, easy-to-use treatment. Smooth, non-abrasive, synthetic beads lift away dead skin cells.

What else you need to know: This enhanced exfoliation helps prepare skin for self tanning and post-bathing treatments (including body acne, keratosis pilaris (chicken skin bumps), shaving bumps, ingrown hairs, and bleaching) and is infused with green tea and willow bark to reduce irritation and redness typically associated with routine in-office exfoliation.



I love the Philosophy brand. I hope this is a good cleanser. I usually use Clinique cleanser, but I like to try new products.

Purity Made Simple: Philosophy's Purity Made Simple is their very best, high-powered, one-step facial cleanser. It rapidly dissolves dirt and makeup, deep cleans the pores of your skin, plus is pH balanced. Contains sage, chamomile, and carrot infusions. Philosophy has designed a collection of products to soothe even the most dry and sensitive skin. It will do wonders for your complexion.



I've tried the Bourjois lipstick, and it was beautiful with great staying power. I hope I'll love the gloss as well. I got this in Rose Doux 34, a rosy nude color



CARGO shadows are gorgeous. I was really impressed with their other palettes, and Paradise Island looks beautiful. Shades include: rose shimmer, burnt rose shimmer, soft bronze shimmer, sheer peachy-opal sheen, and rose-brown shimmer.

Sephora Body Oil and Body Butter made my skin soooo soft. I hope the whipped body butter is just as good. I'll let you know if I like them.
