Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday Gift 2013: Benefit they're real! mascara and watt's up! highlighter

Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday Gift 2013 

Benefit they're real! mascara 

watt's up! highlighter

Sephora beauty insider's birthday gift this year is a set of Benefit's they're real! mascara and watt's up! highlighter. This cute mini set is so adorable, great for travel and tryout. I quite like this year's birthday gift, though I still prefer fresh lip duo from last year. 

they're real! mascara does live up to the hype, but I found that mini mascara in general has a tendency to dry out rather quickly. watt's up! highlighter is a beautiful soft champagne face highlighter, I like that it's so natural (when apply correctly and lightly) like you glow from within.

Sephora Beauty Insider 500-Point Reward: Laura Mercier - Flawless Colour Shimmer, Shadow & Shine Set

I have been waiting for so long for Sephora to release their new beauty insider 500-point reward that I might be interested in. This Monday I saw their new reward which is this Laura Mercier makeup kit hit my inbox and I thought this might be something I will like. So I decided to use my points for this kit. Very lovely.

Sephora Flashy Liner and GIVEAWAY! (CLOSED)

(Please read til the end for a giveaway^-^) This is by far my favorite eye liner pencil ♥ I already have deep black, taupe, and now I got another shade in flashy ultra brown, a gorgeous rich chocolate shade with very fine gold, bronze shimmers. These flashy eyeliner pencils from Sephora are very creamy and rich in colors and textures, yet not too soft that require sharpening before every use. I'd say this flashy liner is between Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil (which is a bit on the hard side) and NYX  Slide On eye pencils (also very creamy, but I found them too soft and require sharpening before every use!). Sephora flashy eye pencils are just perfect! Colors are very rich in pigments, super long-lasting and waterproof (you need waterproof eye makeup remover to remove!)

Review: Sephora Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Nude

This has been my go to everyday palette ever since I got it from Sephora's friends & family sale back in November last year. (my hual here) Sephora came out with these moonshadow baked palettes in two different ranges, one In the Nude, which is the one I got here, and one In the Dark. I swatched in the nude palette in store and instantly fell in love with these gorgeous sparkles but didn't buy until f&f sale. These shades in the palette are either neutral or warm which best meet my needs and liking ♥

Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Nude 

What it is: 

A palette with a range of ten baked eye shadows in nude colors, each with a super sparkly finish. 

What it does:

This gorgeous collection of glittery baked eyeshadows includes ten sultry nude shades. Each delivers a cosmic amount of diamond dust shimmer. The compact features beautiful gold-laced artwork. 

This set contains 10 x 0.017 oz eyeshadows in:

Cream, Light Bronze, Soft Gold, Peach,  Taupe,

Silver, Deep Brown, Honey Brown, Deep Sienna, Plum 

What else you need to know:

Each formula features high payoff pigments and textures that blend easily. Its micro glitter adheres to the skin better than regular sized glitter. Used wet, the dark shades can be used as an eyeliner with an intensified, bolder effect. (Sephora)

front pkg - gold laced design, very pretty and chic, also very easy to clean

Hi everyone (& Happy New Year!). I can't believe this year is going to 

end in less than 2 days, or... 31 hours to be exact^^ What and where are 

you planning to go/do when the clock strikes 12 on New Years Eve? 

For me I think I will stay home with my lovely family, countdown for

the new year...with my cozy robe, nothing fancy :)

Today I wanted to share a gorgeous gorgeous eyeliner pencil that

I  think I am totally obsessed with. It's Sephora's Flashy Liner

Waterproof in the shade 14 Taupe. I have been using this eyeliner 

a lot (pretty much every time if I have makeup on) since I got it. 

Review: Sephora Flashy Liner Waterproof in Deep Black

This eye (pencil) liner is so amazing! I thought I'd share it here! 

I got it during Sephora's friends & family sale and love it

after just once use! It's super waterproof and long-lasting,

creamy, deep and rich pigments! It's that amazing that I even 

took it with me to my thanksgiving vacation last weekend!
