March, April, May'17 Sephora Play products have been on heavy rotation on my vanity. And today when I glance through the June box, I realised that I must finish reviewing the rest. I love a beauty subscription box which comes with a Lip color, as I am a self confessed lip color junkie. But sadly indeed the Sephora Play for April'17 didn't have a lip color sample.
The theme for April'17 was Step it Up . The idea was to step up the basic phases of your skin care and make up routine . The idea was to make everyone a "Beauty Routine Queen." While the eyeliner, eye make up remover and primer were the same in all the boxes, its the skin care sample and the fragrance which was switched up. I have very dry skin, and I love floral fragrances over fruity notes. Usually the write up which accompanies the products every month, is just about the descriptions of the products. What I found interesting, is that this time around, they had beautifully curated a basic beauty and skin care routine. For someone, who is starting off with skin acre and make up, it could be a very helpful guide. I personally loved how lovely the illustrations were both on the bag and the write up.
I love a good make up remover. Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Make Up Remover fits the bill big time. Its a good sized sample, and is surely going to my Travel Make Up bag. I wear gel eyeliner and waterproof mascara, whenever I step outside home. And I have tried so many eye make up removers, which does a good job in removing my long wearing eye make up, without causing me discomfort. My eyes didn't burn when I used this product and my skin was squeaky clean. Make sure you always shake the solution before you use it.
Black eyeliner is a part of my signature make up. While I am strong supporter of my Gel Eyeliner, a good eye pencil, always is welcome. It makes the job easier for sure. Make Up Forever Aqua XL Eyeliner had great pigmentation, and didn't smudge when I used it on my water line. Nothing worse than raccoon eyes, when I am trying out a new new eyeliner . Its not self sharpening. The pencil is quite creamy and doesn't drag on the eyelids,w hen you are using it.
Hyaluronic acid is quite the skin care IT product for some time now. I have tried quite a few products with it, with my Spehora Play boxes, or at different beauty appointments at the Sephora stores. My skin is super dry, so I am extra cautious abut retaining moisture. Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyalurounic Cloud Cream was quite an interesting product. It claims to retain moisture and have anti-ageing properties. I am in my mid 30s, who tries to be religious in incorporating retinol, in my night skin care routine.
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer makes an appearance again in a Play Box. You cant beat this iconic product. It does what it claims. It helps in the longevity of your make up. Its a silicone based primer,
I am not a primer fan, but cant go wrong with a product which wowed everyone across.
Philosophy Purity 3 in 1 Cleanser for Face and Eyes, claims to be a cleanser and a moisturizer. I am usually not fond of products which claim to do more than one thing. I know Philosophy is a very popular skin care brand, but somehow my skin dried , after I used this product.
The fragrance sample for the month was the new fragrance from Miu Miu - . Its floral and very fresh, but not overpowering.
