october 2nd sephora shopping spree
i love the things i treated myself with for autumn and for motivation to keep weight i lost OFF. lol
i've been shopping at sephora since 1999- i LOVE it. i once had a french penpal for a number of years. she lived in france and sephora was very big there. she used to send me stuff from there- shower gel, bubble bath every xmas and bday and it was such a unique treat because there were no sephora's in anywhere but maybe CA or NY back then and then in 2000 or so sephora decided to open their first store in chicago. that is when i started frequenting the store.
i've ordered online often since moving back to FL since i couldn't always get to it in person - every year i buy a new set of stylish makeup brands to try and forge a new twist to my look. most of my favorite beauty products i swear by have only been discovered via sephora. i love that they give cutting edge samples esp by mail, as well. thats how i discover some of the best new makeup. unfortunately the sales lady neglected to give me any this time and i didnt catch it til i walked out.
jimmy spent the day with me shopping there this past wednesday when he was out sick for cold/flu and i also helped him get a higher end skin product for his problematic skin. it was so much fun and i think he could see the appeal in that store. i already know what i'm getting him for xmas and myself for my bday.
we spent a good amount of time in the aisle of my favorite line of bath/body/lotion/perfume products by FRESH. i love their rice shampoo and they have very unique but expensive scents in sugar, lemon, and a number of other very natural scents like that. i also have their sake perfume and rich soap bar which is rich and tantalizing. i only wear it for special occasions and when my asthma isnt acting up! i want to get their sake candle one day.
so, i knew jimmy would like their men's scent cannabis santal which came out a few yrs ago and i had considered buying him last xmas but wanted him to smell it before taking such a chance. he tried it while we were there last week and fell in LOVE. he asked for it for xmas so that is what i plan to get him.
i fell in love with a new one called sugar lychee perfume which i want to get myself next time i have some holiday money to spend. i like to buy a new high end fragrance once a year and pride myself in the high quality and unique perfumes i own and wear. the ones i wear most often as of late are: jil sander pure and jil sander no. 3, emporio armani she. also used to wear out: gucci rush, chanel cristalle to name a few. and the fresh sake, i wear every now and then.
my favorite new things lined up below!
sephora electro liner pencil in chocolate with glitter, two new benefit lipsticks in 'do tell' and 'sassy frass', two sephora liquid eyeliners in green and blue. one sephora deep black eyeliner pencil.
love this new juicy tube out this fall by lancome which i also picked up at sephora!
then later we made a stop at target and i got a few pieces of jewelry since its inexpensive and always pays to have a cool necklace and set of earrings. my favorite one broke last year with blk onyx so i really wanted something in similar onyx/silver antique style to replace it til i can buy a more expensive one as i am too broke right now with all the wedding expenses we are faced with the last two mos before our upcoming wedding.
a few pieces
