It finally happened. I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing for bloody ages on whether to make my very first Sephora order and late one recent Sunday I took the plunge and spent some dolla,
Firstly, I've never been so impressed with a delivery time! Like I said, I ordered pretty late on a Sunday evening and my beautiful package arrived early Thursday morning which, given it came all the way from the US is a pretty quick turnaround! But enough of the boring stuff and onto the good stuff!
Every blogger and their Nan seems to have one of the Sephora Cream Lip Stains and with no visits planned to America planned anytime soon, I needed to get my hands on one. Obviously me being me I went for a classic red (shock!) in the colour 'Always Red' and I've been using it non-stop since! For $14 (around £9.50), they're such great value for money and the payoff is incredible, especially if you're in for a long night! As with any liquid lipsticks, they come with the price of being super drying on the lips and by the end of the night the texture becomes a little unpleasant but it's a small price to pay for the amazing colour!
LOOK AT THE PACKAGING!
The gorgeous watercolour design on the front of the palette is the perfect addition to my dressing table and makeup stash and what's inside is just as beautiful. Much like the original Tartelette palette, there's 12 gorgeous Amazonian Clay eyeshadow shades and the range of colours is right up my street. This time round though there's a mix of mega pigmented matte shades and buttery shimmery ones all of which make for the most amazing shadow combinations of which I am having endless fun playing around with! In addition, there's a massive mirror which makes the palette perfect for travel purposes.
In my little package, I also received some of Sephora's famous samples! I can't wait to try out the Ren Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial and the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream and hopefully add the full size versions to my basket in my next haul!

I've never set foot in a Sephora or bought anything from there! I feel like the only person everrrrr haha. But you've picked up some amazing things! The lipstick sounds amazing and such a decent price too :) the packaging on that Tarte palette is amaaaaazing! Such gorgeous shades as well, swoon. Maybe I need to pay their website a little visit...

DeleteI've actually never tried anything from Tart nor anything from the actual Sephora range. Those eyeshadows look so lovely though, perfect for an everyday look too! Why is make up so expensive! :(

ReplyDeleteSephora has great value especially if you buy their own brand of stuff. You can't go wrong with their samples either! :]

I know right, I couldn't believe how much stuff they had for such good value! Can't wait to place my 2nd order :) x
DeleteThat Tarte palette looks stunning, love the look of the Firecracker shade!
ReplyDeleteKirstie | Behind The Scent
Firecracker is gorgeous! I'm loving wearing it with a bold, dark lip x
DeleteThat Tarte palette is seriously stunning! I went to New York in January and literally spent SO much in Sephora, I went back about 6 times haha!
ReplyDeleteTouchscreens & Beautyqueens
So jealous! I'm hoping to go in December and I'm mentally preparing myself for how overwhelmed I'm gonna be with ALL the makeup x
DeleteOoh, so jealous! Could do with a good haul. Problem is, I feel like I need to swatch, especially when it comes to foundations! I've been lusting over the Amazonian Clay foundation from Tarte for ages, but have no idea which shade to go for!xx
ReplyDeleteLaura | Lala London: Beauty & Lifestyle
Yeah it's always a bit risky when it comes to foundations! I'd suggest googling your shade in a foundation you own and see if there are any comparisons :) it's worked for me in the past! x
DeleteFab post lovely, I’ve just recently made a Sephora order also and I couldn’t believe how quickly my package arrived also.The Tarte palette looks absolutely stunning, and definitely something I’ll have to add to my next order ;)
ReplyDeleteCharlee XO | CharmedCharlee
It's such speedy service isn't it! I hope you get your hands on it soon :) x
DeleteThe Tarte palette looks so gorgeous, I've never tried anything from Tarte but I really want to!
ReplyDeleteLauren Ashleigh xx
This palette is honestly one of the dreamiest palettes I've ever seen. I think I would use every color in it! I really am considering taking the plunge and ordering. I love Tarte products, so I know I wouldn't be disappointed.
