Sephora Favorites Best of Basics Makeup Starter Deluxe Sampler!

Check out aprilathena7's beauty blog. This holiday giveaway contains Sephora's favorites best of basic makeups starter deluxe sampler. My favorite one is the Urban Decay eye potion. I've heard a lot about it like how it works great as an eye primer. I still have a full bottle of my "stay don't stray" by Benefit, but once It's gone, I definitely will switch to Urban Decay's eye primer potion or hopefully I will win this prize next month so that I don't have to spend some dollars on it! Wishful thinking :)

What does your makeup say about you?

Just for fun ;)

What does your Make-up say about you?

Appealing You look extemely wise, and balanced by your applied makeup. People see you as not overdone, too desperate, or a wannabe. You look exactly right. People think of you as soft and sensitive by your makeup choices. You almost always look good, and you have an excellent esthatic sense and a great fashion sense. You know when you look wrong, and you experiment with new colors, but only satisfied when you are one hundred percent sure you look nice.

MAC lipsticks

My current MAC lipsticks. Never really owned any MAC lipsticks before up until I purchased these three. From left to right are baby's on fire, pink nouveau and viva glam I. The first lipstick on the left side of the picture (baby's on fire) has specks of glitters in it. It's very moisturizing on the lips but after awhile, the color rubs off. Pink nouveau is my favorite summertime lipstick. It’s a matte texture and it reminds me of a bubble gum pink. Viva glam I is also a matte texture that stays on the lips for a very long time. It looks like a dark red apple lipstick. What are your lipsticks?

Bad Gal Lash

What's up makeup bloggers?! I've been in hiatus for a while after my recent vacation trip from sunny Hawaii two months ago. Now it's almost the holidays and finally had the free time to blog about my makeup collection that I have accumulated over these past few months. Stay tuned for other makeup reviews.

Here's my newest mascara. This is absolutely one bad gal mascara!!! It coats my lashes so thick and full of volume. Love the luscious black look. One thing I did noticed is that it gives me a racoon eyes at the end of the day. Maybe it needs a primer prior to applying this bad gal. Once in awhile it's nice to give those lashes a little naughty bad gal look especially during these cold flurry seasons ;)

Orly

Orly in La Vida Loca

I was at Ulta last month to claim my free lip gloss after accumulating my reward points and after spending about thirty minutes contemplating whether I should get OPI or Orly, I ended up getting Orly's La Vida Loca in hot pink. I've been looking for a hot pink nail polish and to my surprise, I did not see any hot pink nail polish I like from OPI. Most of the time, I always pick OPI over any other brands. But this time, I really had to get this one by Orly in hot pink. After trying it on my nails, it turns out to be that this is the hottest pink I've been searching for the whole entire summer. If only I found this color a little earlier in the summer, I would've flossed it everyday. Even though I recently just got this nail polish towards the end of summer, I guess it's still not too late to wear this hot pink. After all, it is the perfect pink!

Cargo

This is my first Cargo purchased. I have never used Cargo makeups in the past. About a month or two ago, Sephora had a sale on Cargo cosmetics. I think the sale is still going on since I’ve heard from other makeup lovers that Cargo will no longer be available at Sephora.

The first palette is the Wet and dry eyeliner which is really pretty. The color payoff is really good and lasts through out the whole day. It doesn’t seem to rub off quickly unless you use a makeup remover.

The second picture is a quad eyeshadow with earthy tones. I really like this one since the eyeshadows are pretty big and again the color pay off good as well. The case looks so cute and it comes with a huge mirror ;)

Bobbi Brown

Lately, I've been looking at different blushes from different cosmetic brands in Sephora, Ulta and in Nordstroms. The one that really caught my attention is Bobbi Brown's blush. I've been dreaming of having a Bobbi Brown blush since I've never used it before so luckily a few weeks ago, Bobbi Brown cosmetics online was having a free shipping going on. So I bought my first blush in "apricot" and I just received my package earlier this week. The blush is so pretty. It is a matte coral bright apricot that gives a natural coral look on my cheeks. The blush pan can easily pop off it's case if you want to put it in a palette or you can just leave it as is. I also got a few goodies like the mascara in jet black called the extreme party, an eye repair cream and two sample packets of the foundation in natural and a brightening moisturizing cream. To top it off, it was free shipping. Woohoo. Pretty awesome deal huh for a highend cosmetic brand?
