Sephora Goodies!


So after about a week of trying out all of these new goodies, I think I can now give a fair review of how everything is working out. I'm going to start with my favorite:

  1. Josie Maran Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation: This is single handedly THE BEST foundation I have ever had. I have been using BB creams or tinted moisturizer lately because I want a little bit of coverage but not too much. This foundation is really light like a tinted moisturizer, but has the perfect amount of coverage. The liquid is white when it comes out of the bottle and then pigments to the color of your skin as soon as you apply it. Literally, the BEST. 
  2. Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumper: Lip plumper is my new favorite thing. I have thinner lips and using this gloss gives a little added volume. Beware, there is a tingling sensation that is not for everyone. I happen to like it, but some people may feel like their lips are burning. Use with caution! 
  3. BB Thickening Spray: I first started using Bumble and Bumble products about five years ago. I love all of their hair styling products. I use BB thickening spray when I blow dry my hair to give some extra volume because my hair is very fine. This thickening spray works great for your hair the next day and does not weigh it down. You just spray some on your roots and use your hand to build texture. 
  4. YSL Rouge Volupt Shine paired with Moxie Lip Liner: This lip color LASTS!! I have been wanting a deep purple lipstick and I found the perfect one. It goes on a lot lighter when you apply to your lip. It comes in 18 different shades in a beautiful YSL embroidered tube. I paired it with Bare Minerals Moxie Lip Liner to set the color and make it last through out the day. It did not disappoint!
  5. Stila Eye Liner:  I love liquid eyeliners with felt tips. I have a shaky hand so I can never make my liner even when I don't have something to apply pressure with. This eyeliner has a lasting color and can be worn all day. The best part is it doesn't smudge!
  6. Celebrity Eyelashes: I haven't worn these yet because I haven't had a reason to. I probably will at some point this weekend so I will take a raincheck on these!!
This was the best make up shopping trip I have had in a long time. I usually am not as happy with my purchases, but the nice thing about Sephora is that you can browse around for hours and not feel pressured to buy anything. I used to always buy my make up from make up counters and could never say no to anything. I would end up with make up I never wore, didn't like, and spent over $100 in the process. Shopping at Sephora gives you more control over buying things you will actually wear and the ability to sample everything while you are in the store.

Kendrick

There are not many moments in life where you can remember the first time you heard a particular artist or musician and knew you were a fan immediately. In the late summer of 2011, I remember the moment I first heard Kendrick Lamar. My brother had just burned me The Game's R.E.D. Album and I was listening to the intro. The second track, "The City" came on and I was already blown away by the melodic, soulful beat accompanied by the female vocals that sounded like a gospel followed by The Game's verse. And then I heard Kendrick Lamar.  At that moment, I knew Kendrick Lamar was unlike anyone I had ever heard before. His voice is raspy, lyrics are poetic, and he raps in a way where he builds up by getting more and more aggressive almost as if he's telling a story and building to the climax with his flow. And then the outro. Oh my god. I immediately downloaded his album Overly Dedicated on iTunes for $6.99 and was impressed at his true, lyrical talent. It's...

Devil In A New Dress

What is "Devil In A New Dress?"  Devil In A New Dress is about looking at something not just for what it is, but what it could be. When it comes to fashion, you can look at an item of clothing and wonder 'what would I wear this with?' The question isn't about looking at the item individually, but rather how it could be thrown together with the right accessories, shoes, or jacket and instantly make an ensemble flow. It's about looking at old styles and adding some modern flare. It's about opening your mind to new possibilities that are edgy and break the rules while making the new ones up as you go along.  "Devil In A New Dress" is a song by Kanye West who is my favorite artist. In the song he raps,  "Put your hands to the constellations, The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation I know I'm preaching to the congregation We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan" This is  what Devil In A New ...

Nike Women's Marathon

Nike Women's Marathon This was my second year running a half in the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. My experience this time around was way better than the first and I know it's because I got to run with my best friend and partner in crime, Daisy. That's Daisy on the left!! A few facts about the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco: 1. It is the largest women's marathon in the world with more than 30,000 people participating this year. 2. This year was the 10th anniversary of the run. 3. All finishers of the race receive a Tiffany & Co. necklace. 4. The scenery is amazing. 5. The hills suck. When my friend Daisy and I got to San Francisco the day before for the expo, the energy in the city was electric. We walked around the expo for a little while taking pictures, getting free stuff, and checking out all the new Nike gear. After we got our packets, we headed over to the Nike store. One of the walls ...
