and other reviews.
It lathers very well. It makes a lot of bubbles but they aren't that thin kind that doesn't get you clean. The smell I can smell after my shower for an hour or so if I put my nose to my skin, but then it kinda goes away. It won't interfere with perfume because it isn't that strong.
There is a reason it is Lush's #1 selling soap!

MAC Cosmetics Paint Pots

This little pot comes with a lot because you don't need a lot. You can apply it with a cream shadow brush, but I've found it is easier to use your fingers.
It is the prettiest color ever, I have never seen anything like it! It is like peachy pink with gold undertones.
I definitely recommend it.

Benefit Cosmetics High Beam Liquid Face Highlighter
This is $24 at Sephora. It is SO pretty! I was kinda ifffy when I bought it, like "ohh whatever it's just a little face thing". But yeah...it's not. It;s AMAZING. So it comes in a nail polish - esque container. The bottle is really cute... +
This is $24 at Sephora. It is SO pretty! I was kinda ifffy when I bought it, like "ohh whatever it's just a little face thing". But yeah...it's not. It;s AMAZING.
So it comes in a nail polish - esque container. The bottle is really cute (like all benefit products). You take out the brush and take off a little product on the edge (like you would nail polish) and then put a dot or 2 on both cheek bones. Then you can use a blending wedge or your fingers to blend it in a "c" around your eye/to to your temple.
Other places to apply: above or below arch in eyebrow, cleavage, angel's bow,
High Beam makes your face illuminated. It is a pink shimmery liquid and it goes on and you can only see it in the light. If you use too much, it will make your face look oily. But that is easy to avoid.
I looove this so much, it is definately in my top 5 products!

Okay so a lot of my friends actually haven't heard of Sephora. It is basically the biggest makeup store there is. It is all high-end products. They carry many brands. Some have their own stores (Bare Esscentials, Urban Decay, Philosophy) and some brands are only available at Sephora (Sephora brand) and some are very high end (Lancome, Dior).
The store is set up in a bunch of little booth type things. They are two sided with at least one brand on each side. At the ends are little makeup stations where there is a mirror, qtips, tissues, makeup remover, and trash all for testing out makeup.
Next to every product is a tester. Some testers are like new....others are completely gross! Remember if you test any lip or eyeliner/mascara products, don't use the testers (at least directly).
Quality ranges from product to product so I won't get into that.
Prices....one eyeshadow can be from $5 to $30. There are a lot of value sets where you can get many mini products and kits have a better value than individually buying things.
Unfortunately, at the 3 stores I have been at, the service was pretty bad. The lines move slowly because they don't ever have more than 2 people at the registers, even at a grand opening! They are really good at applying make up and helping you find products for your skin or what you are looking for. But sometimes they can be a little rude if you ask something. They ask if you need any help, but they don't annoy you by following you around the store and stuff.
The rewards program is good, you sign up for free and you get a free item on your birthday, and a small item for every 100 points and a full size exclusive item every 500 points. It is one dollar per point.
Sephora is definately one of my favorite stores! If you are new to it, research it online (the website) because it is very overwhelming when you go, especially if it is a big one.
Have fun! :)
