Swanky Sunday - A Sephora Shopping Spree

Come on, who wouldn't want a Sephora shopping spree? I'm pretty sure if someone came to me and said "You have an unlimited budget at Sephora, have at it, you deserve it." I think I might die. Or maybe just lay on the floor and cry tears of pure joy for at least an hour. Who knows. But, if by some miracle of God, that ever happens, I promise to let you know how I react. Or have Briam film it to sweeten the deal. But for now, filled with only hopes and dreams, I've created a fantasy shopping spree! Basically everything I would get with my shopping miracle. 

1. Diorskin Forever Flawless Perfection Wear Makeup 2. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer 

3. HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Blush 4. Givenchy Terre Exotique Healthy Glow Powder

5. NARS Blush in Albatross 6. Tart Lights, Camera, Splashes Waterproof Mascara

A girl can dream. 

Beauty Army Unboxing: June 2013

I have to admit, I was pretty nervous to try out a beauty subscription service. But one of the amazing things that I really like about Beauty Army is that you get to pick 6 samples out of a group that was arranged for you. I can be really picky. So being able to pick which samples I would like to try was a huge plus for me. Beauty Army is only $12 a month! And some of the "samples" turn out to be full size. This is my first unboxing of any sort, so I was quite excited. 

I loved the box that the kit was shipped in. Nice and clean.

This is the actual "Beauty Army Box". It's hard to see, but it does say "Beauty Army" on top.

And we open the box...

Thanks for the skin safety tips! 

All of my little samples! 

Lash Card Mascara Shields, Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream, GG Gatsby Raise Volume Shampoo, Colorsmash Hair Shadow, Nailuv UV Gel Polish in Berry Sweetie, and Addiction NV Cosmetics Lip Habit Lip Glossifier in Girl's Night Out. 

I either need to invest in my own UV lamp or take this polish to a salon because it's so perfect for summer!

Swatches of the hair shadow and lip gloss. 

I decided I had to do a little test of the hair shadow!

Loved it! 

I'm planning on using these products this week and posting a full review after that!

Review: Mark. Juice Gems Lip Gloss

I have to say, I'm not the biggest fan of lip gloss, but I love these! All six glosses are beautiful and smell great. The best part? They aren't as sticky as other glosses! I like to put lip balm underneath these glosses for extra moisture. They are great by themselves or onto of a lipstick or stain. I like to use raspberry framboise on top of red lipstick for an even better classic red lip.  

Colors: Snow Peach, Honeydew Melon, Raspberry Framboise, Pomegranate Grenade, Fig, and Papaya

Review: Mark. In A Whirl Marbleized Lip Gloss

Searching for a lip gloss with dimension? Mark. In A Whirl Marbleized Lip Gloss has it! I absolutely die over these three glosses. Being that they're marbleized with two colors, each use is slightly different. You won't notice a huge change in color, but you'll definitely see a tint difference. All three colors are stunning! They come in Brown Sugar, Coral Cream and Pink Souffle. Coral Cream has proven to be my favorite color. My only negative comment about these glosses is that they seem to be sticky. Not super sticky, but enough to notice it and not want it. The way I combat this dilemma is to put on lip balm before the gloss. This eliminates the stickiness and moisturizes your lips! Win!

Each of the gloss can be purchased on the mark. website for $8 a piece.
