My Latest Sephora Findings

Well I did it again... I went to Sephora and spent entirely too much. The good news, however, is that everything I bought has been of amazing quality. I love all of these products!

This is everything I purchased. Please excuse the poor photo quality as these were taken with my Blackberry. My camera is currently not with me. So sad.

These are the five nail polishes I bought. From left to right -all Sephora by OPI brand- Ms. Can't Be Wrong, On Stage, Note to Self, Metro Chic, and Call Your Mother. They are just gorgeous shades. I am so excited to wear the muted purple-greys for Fall! The orange one is really fun too, its a beautiful cantelope orange with yellow shimmer! What a fab color to end the summer with!

Stila Convertible Color in Fuschia. This is a perfect color for baby doll like blush. It gives you the most beautiful flushed color! I highly recommend this to anyone who is a blush junkie! Its also gorgeous on your lips with a bit of gloss over it.

This is theBalm's Cabana Boy blush. Its a deep pink with plum undertones. This is one of my top 5 favorite blushes for sure. Excellent pigmentation and just the right amount of shimmer!

Another blush by theBalm, Down Boy. The perfect bubble gum pink blush. Perfect for a natural flush with a little something extra! Great pigmentation and a hint of shimmer.

Nars Angelika. A perfect marriage of blue-based bubble gum pink and tiny silver flecks of shimmer. Pure heaven for a girlie-girl such as myself. You HAVE to own this blush if only to stare at the light reflecting off of the silver glitter flecks.

Next up is theBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer. This. Is. Magnificent. It its the smoothest, most creamy powder highlight I have ever gotten my greedy little hands on. It gives the most gorgeous ethereal candelit glow. I would tell you to go out and buy it NOW except for the fact that there probably won't be one left in the US as I plan on buying them all up. Hee hee. Only joking- or am I?

I also purchased Tarte's Eco-Cheek cheek stain which is a gorgeous pearly peach, and Tarte's Clean Slate face Primer. They are both excellent products, I just can't seem to get my pictures of them loaded.

Well I am off to bed now!

NOTD- OPI Call My M-Agent A

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this color. Its the perfect shade of raspberry, in my opinion. I have a hard time finding nail polish and lipstick/lipgloss in "raspberry" shades. It seems like they are always too hot pink or too burgundy/wine toned. Call My M-Agent A is amazing- its a perfect combination of the hot pink and the wine shades. This color could really go with any season. Its bright enough for spring and summer, but deep enough for fall and winter. Its from the OPI Holiday in Hollywood collection and you can find it @ http://head2toebeauty.com/nail_polishes/npo_opi1.htm for around $5.00. An excellent buy! I paid around $8.50 for my bottle, but I would re-purchase even at that price!

This is Call My M-Agent A on my nails. Excuse the poor quality of this picture as it was taken with my Blackberry at night. Haha!

You can tell what a difference there is between some of the more neon pink colors and Call My Magent-A. Simply Fabulous!

Love it, hate it, going to try it? Have other perfect "raspberry" shades? Let me know!
