What I Bought at the Sephora Sale

September 2, 2018

Affiliate Links

Are any of my fellow makeup addicts here today? I thought that I was going to be SO good and not shop the Sephora VIB Sale this time around. Well who was I fooling?! Haha! I already have more beauty products than I have room for. However, there were a few things that I really wanted to try based on them being used on me recently by hair and makeup artists. And I may have thrown in a foundation that made its way into Oprah Magazine’s Fall Beauty O-Wards.

My princess for a day experience. I’ll let y’all know when to be on the lookout.

new makeup from Sephora VIB sale

Thirsty Girl Coconut Milk Leave-In Conditioner from IGK – This stuff smells great and worked so well on making my hair straight, smooth and glossy when Mia Santiago did my hair on the cruise that I knew I needed to buy it to use at home. She actually sprayed this on each section of my hair before she used the flat iron on it.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Shameless Youthful-Look 24 Hour Foundation with SPF 25 – This was the foundation that was used on me and recommended for mature skin by the makeup artist who did my makeup in NYC for my photoshoot a few weeks ago. This foundation is “an innovative, medium-coverage foundation with up to 24-hour wear, flashback-free SPF 25, and hydrating skincare benefits for a natural, youthful look.” I wear the shade R330 and could have actually worn a few other shades as well, depending if I want to go more red or more yellow based. I highly recommend this one, especially for my more mature friends.

Beauty Blender Bounce™ Liquid Whip Long Wear Foundation – This was the product that I bought because I’m so curious about it. It was demonstrated on the Facebook Live that Brian Underwood and Gayle King did for The Oprah Magazine Fall Beauty O-Wards last week. I went into Sephora to get color matched. I wear the shade 3.15, although I really think a few other shades would have worked just as well. It is formulated with hyaluronic acid and white birch extract. This stuff is gorgeous on. I will try to do a full review on it soon.

Here’s how this one is advertised: Developed with an exclusive, high-speed HyperWhip™ process, this silky smooth formula is whisked into a light-as-air texture for unparalleled blendability. This full-coverage, velveteen-matte foundation addresses not just tone but also skin texture so your complexion looks smooth and even.

Buxom Pillow Pout Creamy Plumping Lip Powder in Darling Dolly – I don’t pass up a beautiful pink lipstick very often! This one really intrigued me. It’s a unique lip powder that delivers a blotted, semi-matte finish for all-day, comfortable wear. “Thanks to its innovative wet powder technology and mess-free sponge applicator, this weightless pigment glides seamlessly across lips to deliver rich color that never feels dry or tight. The smudge-proof formula provides a soft and sexy stained effect that stays put for up to eight hours.” I’m going to be getting additional shades because this has the stain effect that I love without drying my lips. Please note though, this has no plumping effect on my lips at all (but I’m okay with that).

    I read this review the other day and when I went to place my last minute order I bought the Beauty Blender foundation as I’ve been curious about it. I hope it isn’t fragranced. If I ever get to a Sephora I’ll ask for a sample of the MJ foundation especially since it’s targeted for “older” ladies.

Layering season has finally hit for most of us, so Layering season has finally hit for most of us, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite toppers from the @cabiclothing Fall collection.

I will start by saying that the Keynote Trousers have become my go-to pants lately. They’re made of the most comfortable wrinkle free material. I had mine hemmed to fit my 5’2” height. I wear them with loafers, heels or sneakers.

The simple, but classic white Poetry Top is the perfect layering piece that every wardrobe needs.

But the real heroes are the fantastic toppers. I’m wearing the gorgeous Williams Jacket which is a mulberry color velvet blazer, the Coronation Cardigan in bright red (we all know that red is trending this season) and the Team Jacket which is a velour corduroy black bomber style jacket.

Which do you like best?💖

It’s easy to blur large pores and imperfections It’s easy to blur large pores and imperfections with this pressed setting powder that’s formulated with skincare ingredients.

Press it into your skin to set your makeup or use it on bare skin for no-makeup days. I like to use it in the t-zone. It’s lightweight with a matte finish. Can also be used as a blotting powder throughout the day. Available in 3 shades.

HaPpY WeEKeNd! My last post talked about meeting HaPpY WeEKeNd!

My last post talked about meeting friends from social media in real life. Well, today I’m going to meet a friend who I’ve known from YouTube and social media since about 2010. We’re talking way before Instagram was even born!

She’s visiting the US all the way from Paris and we’re meeting for coffee for the first time. 

And how cute is this little midi skirt outfit?! I bought it at Walmart while shopping for toys with my granddaughter yesterday. Happy to send a link if you want one.

I’m walking with a little extra pep in my step b I’m walking with a little extra pep in my step because next week I’m going to Las Vegas for a conference of midlife influencers.

How cool is that? I get to meet, hang out with and learn from some incredible and inspiring women whom I greatly admire. 

This conference was initially planned for 2020, but was postponed because the world was shut down. But it’s back now and I’m ready for it!!

I can’t wait to meet some of my long time IG friends and make some new ones.

Midlife women are amazing, relevant and beautiful! We have a lot to offer and teach the younger generations, including a lot of wisdom from the lessons we’ve learned from ALL of our experiences (both good and bad).

Two of my favorites are “Don’t sweat the small stuff” and “Don’t saw sawdust” that I’ve always remembered from reading Dale Carnegie books wayyy back when.

Do you have any quotes or lessons that have stuck with you?

Nothing beats an easy to wear outfit. You know, th Nothing beats an easy to wear outfit. You know, the ones you know you can count on that make you feel great.

That’s how I feel about a white button down shirt paired with a satin high waisted skirt. Cute with heels or tennis shoes. 

The skirt is so good that I ordered it in another color and it’s under $40.✨

Let me know if you want more info. 

Have a great Thursday! It will be a rainy day in Texas so I’ll be staying home and tidying up because I’m not ready to get my new car wet and dirty.😂😂
