I recently recived a card in the mail from Sephora. "We miss you!" it said on the front, written in a red lipstick. "We're sorry! We don't know what we did, but it won't happen again!" Okay, so that story's not true, but Sephora has been weirdly absent from my bank statement lately. I don't think I've even been in a store or looked at the website since before Christmas. I was bored tonight so I headed over to the website to see what might be lurking in the sale section. There are a lot of good deals, and some decent deals. And then there's some stuff you know why it's sitting unloved on a clearance shelf somewhere like these fake eyelashes in the shapes of sea creatures. Here's the best of the sale:
-Mr & Mrs Minimergency Kit: A cute little pouch holding essentials like tampons, a sewing kit, extra button, etc. Most women already carry something very similar to this, but if you don't have one this is a great starter.
-Tarte 5 piece Girl Meets Gloss Maracuja set: There's only reason I don't like Tarte lip products and that's the overbearing peppermint-y smell and flavor. If that doesn't bother you, this set is a steal.
-The New Black Runway nail polish set: If you don't have a wide range of polish colors you can't beat this set. This set has a little bit of everything, including a trendy white polish that Anne Hathaway recently made popular at the SAG Awards.
-Charlotte Ronson Lake eyeshadow quad: Probably the best eyeshadow quad I've seen for spring at an unbeliveable price.
-Sephora Domed Powder Brush #59: This brush is so soft. It holds the perfect amount of powder and it feels like kittens and unicorns are dancing across your face while you use it. I'm only mildly joking, it's really that soft and incredible.
-Sephora Fragrance favorites Deluxe Set: These sets include an assortment of perfume samples along with a voucher for a full-size bottle. Considering some of the bottles run upwards of $50, that's an amazing price.
-Tarte Putting On a Glitz palette set: You can't go wrong with Tarte, period. This set includes three palettes that each have six shadows and a cheek color. There's also a lipgloss that comes with the set. The accompanying handbag has a little spot for a palette, along with your cell phone and some credit cards & ID. I think the handbag idea is rather hokey, but the palettes are a solid buy and can be carried independent of the bag.
-Hello Kitty Wild Thing Palette: A nice shadow quad that would look on just about everybody, along with a soft cheek color and luminizer. My experiences with hello Kitty products is that they apply very sheer, and it may take a few coats to build up to color you wish. If you're into soft washes of color, it's a line well worth checking out.
