L'Oreal HiP Matte Eyeshadow Duos

Just in for a limited time only, L'Oreal HiP has released new matte eyeshadow duos. I have only picked up 2 so far. I got them last week on a CVS bogo
(buy 1 get 1 50% off)grrr

L'Oreal HiP ANIMATED


Coastal Scents White (from 88 palette)


Coastal Scents Blue (from 88 palette)


L'Oreal HiP PERKY


Coastal Scents Green (from 88 palette)


Coastal Scents Dark Purple (from 88 palette)


Someone asked,
"If you own the 88 palette, is it worth it to invest in the HiP Matte duos?"
Ummmm yeah! LOL I've recently become disenchanted with the staying power of my 88 palette. I do love the colors. But it seems as if they fade after only a couple of hours of wear. The HiP colors seem to have longer staying power & better blend ability.

Ck. Out my swatches

There are 6 matte duos available, as well as 3 new metallic shades. I haven't been able to find them anywhere but CVS though. I just found out they have them @ Ulta!

NARS Pencil Sharpener

Pencil Sharpener
NARS custom-designed dual blade Pencil Sharpener is the essential tool for sharpening pencils of every size to deliver a more professional and precise application. The removable adapter allows you to adjust the size to fit even the largest pencils. Includes a blade cleaner and a cover to capture shavings.

I decided to purchase this for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I was trying to qualify for free shipping on Sephora. LOL
Secondly, I watched a video on YouTube from Reena (Ramnari7). She said she purchases each vendor's pencil sharpener to use with their pencils. It made a lot of sense.

Why I LOVE it?
- Comes with a lid to collect the shavings.
- Comes with a super effective pick-tool which allows you to clear any of the accumulated waxy product on the blade.
- Sharpened even my corniest of corny Tropez Pencils to a perfectly fine point. GASP! It doesn't sharpen to the extent of breaking the tips of my pencils when they become extra sharp.
- Does not chew up the wood!

You need this sharpener in your life!

Ok, so I'm not balling to the point where I have purchased any NARS pencils $24.00(YET) LOL. Eventually, I'll get there. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my NARS Pencil Sharpener.

Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix

What is it?
A light and comfortable spray that sets all types of makeup and prolongs hold, even under extreme conditions.

What is it formulated to do?
With the alcohol-free formula, makeup is protected by a light, invisible film that feels comfortable on the skin. Enriched with chitosan, a marine algae extract, this makeup fixer spray protects skin against external damage caused by temperature changes, pollution, and other possible irritants.

Dany Sanz Tip:
For busy women who want to go from work to an evening dinner out and don't have time to go home for touch ups, spray mist and fix on a thick tissue and pat gently on the face to refresh your makeup. Then apply a veil of compact powder to give your complexion a velvety texture for the evening.

I purchased the small bottle (.84oz) from Sephora for $8.
The large bottle (4.22oz) is $28.

You NEED this in your life!
After having used this product, I hugged my hubby. To my surprize, not a trace of my fully made up face was left on his fresh white t-shirt! I'll never go without it again!

Albeit, the pose was awkward b/c I was trying to disguise my double chin, this product really did the best job EVER in setting my makeup! LOL
