I love Sephora! I loving shopping in Sephora, I love hanging around in Sephora, I love everything about Sephora. When I step into Sephora I feel at home. It's true. I think you beauty junkies out there probably feel the same as I do. Huh?! You know who you are!!! Haha! As I was saying, I can't get enough of Sephora and I have to buy something every time when I go there. Well I don't blame myself really because Sephora has everything a girl ever wants to make herself feeling pretty, and the amount of brands that Sephora carries are just incredible.
A lot of us go to Sephora for choosing higher end makeup or skincare brands but nobody really talks about Sephora's own brand. I don't know about you but I just feel the store' s own brand is not as good if you know what I am saying. You know when you go to a supermarket you never really choose the products from this supermarket's own brand because the products are never that good to be honest. So that kinda puts me off a bit for trying SEPHORA's products. You know?! But I am a beauty junkie I have to try everything so I did, and I am glad I did because some of the products from SEPHORA COLLECTION are just as good as higher end makeup.
Let's start with the hits. Products I think are worth to try out and are just as good as some of the higher end makeup products.
First up is the Rouge Shine from SEPHORA in the shade 47 Heartbreaker (€14.50). I got this lipstick like 2 days ago and I seriously need to go back and pick up more shades from this range. Let's just leave it like that! The colour I have is gorgeous and I never thought I could pull off a purple lipstick but this one is just so subtle. It doesn't come off "purple" purple. It's kind of a purple toned berryish pink. It has a nice shine to it, very moisturizing and feels comfortable on the lip. Definitely worth trying! The down side of this lipstick is that the packaging is quite bulky. SEPHORA could've made it a little smaller in my opinion. Another thing is that the actual bullet is very wobbly, it doesn't stay in the tube probably so it almost breaks. Shame but the lipstick is honestly pretty darn good, and there are a lot colours to choose from.
Next up is the SEPHORA Cream Lip Stain in 06 Forever Fuchsia (€14). If you follow me on Instagram you'll know how much I am obsessed with this little tube ever since I got it which was only like a week ago. I love the texture, the colour, the staining power, everything about this lip stain is fabulous. This baby stays all day and doesn't feel drying on the lip which is really awesome. It's better than the YSL lip stain honestly. All I can say is "try it"! Seriously is that good!
This SEPHORA Waterproof 12H Wear Jumbo Liner in 24 Dark Brown Matte (€10.90) is lovely. Guys seriously try it. It is so good. It stays, doesn't smudge around my eyes, easy to use. You can use it as a liner or eyeshadow base. I know I say "try it" and "it's so good" a lot but trust me I am not a rep from Sephora and they don't pay me to make this review (I wish). I am just being honest, some of their products are just genuinely good!
Let's move on to the Eyebrow Pencil in the shade 01. You'll like this if you like a waxy based pencil. It keeps the hair in place while gives colour. It comes with a brush which is good for brushing the hair through afterwards to soften the look. It's a pretty good pencil for the price (€8).
My last "hit" from the SEPHORA collection is this Lip Liner in 15 Royal Rose (€4.90). Pretty name huh! It's creamy, and goes on like a dream. The colour is gorgeous and it's really tiny so great for my makeup bag. Can't go wrong with it.
Now let's talk about my "misses". First up is the Lash and Eyebrow Mascara in the shade 03. I don't know what the deal is with this thing. It's not good enough to be a mascara and certainly not a good brow gel. It kinda has some glittery particles in there which I just don't get it. I mean who wants glitter bits on their brows or even lashes. Buhh! As the Italians would say when they don't know. I just don't get it! Do not buy it guys! FYI I think it is discontinued as I can't find it on the website. Well it might as well!
Lastly is this SEPHORA Nano Eyeliner in 03 Pure White (€4.90). Ohh where do I begin?! It's patchy, it doesn't glide on my waterline. It's not pigmented. It doesn't last. It's just not good. Stay away from it guy!
So there you have it. There are some products from Sephora's own brand are definitely worth checking out.
