| - As a beauty supplies and cosmetics addict, I am self-banned from Sephora (but I always go back. It knows I love it). I always get the free gift from the Sephora Beauty Insiders card because I have a problem which is that it is full of beautiful, wonderful products that I often did not yet know existed.
There is your standard makeup - Sephora brand typically being both the cheapest and most colourful but with plenty to look at or drool over from Nars, Two-face, etc. Want Shu Uemura? - you can find some of that here. I do love that stuff, but I have so much makeup that I don't use I can often resist. A girl only needs so many eyeshadows, especially when her routine is "natural". The Kat Von D palette's have some great neutrals though. Yeah.
The selection of brushes, makeup bags and general cosmetic accessories is wonderful. They have a million little gadgets that you don't really need but would make your life so much better... But even then, I know that I don't need a stainless steel pimple popper. I'll live.
For me, the true danger lies in the skin care and hair care sections. I have curly hair and problemish skin, and I am a sucker for things that say they will a) make my hair pretty and shiny or b) make my skin perfect. Just because I know in my head doesn't mean that I know in my heart. When the friendly salesladies come and give me the spiel on how the $70 moisturizer was made by scientists and caviar and baby farts and will make you smooth and glowing, I'm sold.
I bought my GHD hair straightener from Sephora. I think that right there epitomizes my suckerness. It speaks straight to my weaknesses. The Fekkai hair stuff is fabulous, and right beside the scientific looking skincare. Next thing I know I'm out wayyyyy more than I should be.
The perfume selection is decent, but I've got perfume to last. So I'll be ok. Just know, if you're a sucker or a beauty products addict: STAY AWAY. Otherwise, rock on in this adult candy store.
