SEPHORA PLAY - JULY'17 - REVIEW



Another installment of Sephora Play reviews are here. Catching up the July box on the Blog this weekend finally. As you'll know, I am still getting set into the new routine, of me going back to Grad School to get my Second Masters. So Blog posts might get delayed ever now and then. Thanks for bearing up with me, and supporting me. Your support and appreciation means a lot.

I often have the debate with myself, whether or not I should carry on my subscription of the Sephora Play box, but then I decide to carry on with it, nevertheless. The theme for the July Box was " beauty Staycation." This seemed to be a very practical theme for Moms like me, who love to bring the Spa home every now and then.

I know Gingham has been hot this Spring-Summer, and to get a pink Gingham bag was just perfect. Love me some pink always, don't I ?!

 I am a lip color junkie, and love it when they have one in the bag. Tarte Rainforest of the sea is a line which is meant specially for dry skin, as its made with kelp, to help hydrate skin. "Set Sail," by Tarte Rainforest of the Sea, is a lovely nude. It reminded me of a paler version of MAC Velvet Teddy at first glance. The lip product is smooth and doesn't drag on the lips. The color is perfect for my everyday wear. If you wanted to jump on the bandwagon of the current trendy 90s brown Lips, but didn't want to commit at first go, then this color would be a good starting ground.


Bobbi brown Eye Opening Mascara came with a lot of tall claims, but was let down for me. It was very pigmented and did build up the lashes, but it got the lashes very clumpy. Not something I would repurchase. And it wasn't also waterproof, and I usually prefer waterproof mascaras.

Speaking of Skincare, Fresh Rose Face Mask, is a gel based mask, made both with rose water and rose petals. Its hydrating and adds a glow . For people like me, who have dry skin, its an instant pick me up. I loved how aromatic it was, and my skin really felt the difference.

Caudalie is known for their fabulous products and I am a big fan of them. So it felt good to be able to try out another product from them. Cadualie Vine(Activ) glow Activating Anti-Wrinkle Serum was a great pick. If you know me, you know that I take my skin care and my anti ageing skin routine very seriously. This product is rich with their patented antioxidants, which fights skin damage from stress, pollution and lack of sleep. Its a fine serum, which can be used a prep for make up, or even layered under your moisturizer. I used it in my night time skin care routine.

Briogeo Rosarco milk Raparative Leave in Conditioning Spray is light weight and non greasy. I used it liberally on my hair after I stepped out of the shower, and it worked as a detangler and leave in conditioner. It didn't make my hair greasy and gave a lovely curl pattern to my natural curls.

Last but not the least, is the fragrance sample of the month. Clean Reserve Sueded Oud is a creamy and sophisticated scent which puts a new twist on traditional ,heavy fragrance with its light notes. This really put me in the mood for a stay cation.
