We are close to Halloween and I am catching up with my Review of my Sephora Play box from August 2017.
Better late than never .
The Theme for the month of August was " The Imnovators." The idea was to have a ring side view of some of the products which are new and creating waves in the world of beauty.
I have to begin with the most iconic product in the Box - the Micro Mini Beauty Blender. The original Beauty Blender is a must have for everyone, and despite all the zillion copies available in the market, the original still reigns supreme. The Micro Mini beauty Blender is perfect for under eye concealer or blemishes or any of those precise areas that you wanted to touch up. Not to forget, how cute is this. If you haven't yet used a Beauty Blender, then go ahead and try it out. They have creating a storm on the beauty scene for the past 15 years almost. Wet the sponge and squeeze out excess liquid, and you are all set to use it. Beauty Blender gives you that flawless air brushed finish with almost any foundation or concealer that you might be using.
The second make up product from the box was the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Foundation Stick. I received the shade - " Shell." Currently, I am very tanned and the color sample sent across, is a lot lighter. The product is creamy and pigmented and claims to be a foundation and concealer in one. I used it as an under eye concealer , and it worked fine.It didn't cling to my dry patches or crease. Would live to try it out as a foundation in my correct shade.
From Make up to Hair products. My hair is long, dry and colored . Did I mention that its also fine. I don't like products which claim to be moisturizing but weigh my hair down. Caviar is a well known brand, and I was looking for an opportunity to try out some of their products. Caviar Alterna Miracle Multiplying Voume Mist is a lightweight hair styling mist that add volume, texture to hair while strengthening and softening it. My Hair is textured and voluminous so this product was not the perfect match for me.
Coming back to Makeup and this time, lets talk about a Mascara. Clinique HIM Dual Ended High Impact Mascara and Primer Duo. If there's a primer for your face, for your eye lids, then why not for your lashes, right. Its a two step process, where you first apply the primer and then the mascara. If only Mascara samples came in Waterproof varieties.
Coming to Skin Care, Koress Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir Serum. Now that's a mouthful to remember. I love to cook with saffron, and it was interesting to use it as an ingredient in my skin care routine. This product is a potent anti aging seru, infused with Greek saffron , visibly reduces the apperance of fine lines. I used it before my night time Retinol routine. it smelled divine and was one fo the most luxurious serums I have used.
Last but not the least- the fragrance sample of the month. Burberry 's My Burberry Black is inspired by the iconic Burberry Trench coat. This fragrance features a seductive blend of jasmine, candied rose and amber. Right up my alley of floral fragrance.
