Sephora Haul! | Sephora.au

dsc09760cc

As a few of you lovely people may know, I recently visited Australia for a bit and knowing the makeup-skincare obsessed girl that I am, I obviously did a trip to Sephora. Australian Sephora is a bit different from the ones in the US, in a sense that they don’t have the exact brands as the US. But for something that’s at the other end of the world, it’s pretty great selection to choose from.

Australia is generally a more expensive place to shop due to the higher taxes and what not. So I gave myself an amount of money to spend and I worked around it because TBH, I don’t need more makeup. But I did need something new to review on my blog. 


ORIGINS Drink Up IntensiveORIGINS Clear ImprovementORIGINS Out Of TroubleThis was actually a face mask trio. I bought this because I have had a full size mask from Origins before and to be honest, it is kind of impossible to finish a full size face mask thing. So I got this one, each of them are 50mL and it allows me to try other types of masks without spending almost 100AUD on face masks alone(because thats crazy).

La Vanilla The Healthy Deodorant in Pure Vanilla. I first heard about this deodorant from Estee Lalonde in on of her Sephora hauls awhile back. She mentioned that this was the deodorant she used religiously. And I thought, If Estee loves it, I should try it too! 

Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment. You can say that I am Estee Lalonde obsessed… Because I also heard about this product from her and I just had to buy it too! I used it as soon as I bought it and wow, it is more than just a lip balm!

It Cosmetics Prow Powder Perfector in Universal Taupe. I originally planned to repurchase the ABH Brow Wiz , but I noticed that it would come out cheaper if I ordered it from a reseller back home. So, I scratched that idea and picked up this baby. I have no idea how good or bad this product is. So comment below if you want an honest review about this! 

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment in Light. Initially I told the lady at Sephora that I wanted a light base, like a tinted moisturizer. And little did I know I would pick up another Tarte base(because I don’t have enough obvs). This is actually a BB tinted treatment but she said it was practically the same thing.

Zoeva Rose Golden Eyeshadow Palette. I was due to pick up a brand new full-size palette because I bought my previous one almost 2 years ago. So when I saw this,  I just had to get it because first, its packaged in Rose Gold, second, there are Rise Gold shades in the palette. Can’t you tell that I love me some Rose Gold? Even if I don’t use this on the daily, I know I will love this baby! Comment below if you want a full review with the swatches and all!

Skincare Review | ORIGINS Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay

I have very good news! Origins have finally landed in Philippines! Well, just Manila. recently, I have been such a big fan of skincare in general–maybe it comes with age? But I think I have about 5 facial cleansers and scrubs at the moment–yikes! 

I discovered the brand, Origins from Youtuber, Tanya Burr. I have a few of their products in my stash already. But I have never owned a high end facial mask (I’ve had a drugstore one before). This definitely lived up to may expectations of the quality that Origins brings to the market. I got this in SM Makati inside the department store.

So the plug of this specific product intends to:

(from the Sephora website)

” A two-in-one purifying mask and skin refiner that’s formulated with Canadian willowherb, Persian silk tree, and a potent blend of actives to smooth, refine pores, and boost skin’s overall quality. “

This product is definitely loved by many because in all the websites that i’ve read, it has gotten 5 stars in all of them! 

The great thing about this is that, it isn’t made with any Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates, which makes it free from any chemicals that could harm your skin. The lady in the counter also mentioned that its best to do this as a weekly ritual–you can also do it twice a week.

 To apply, you just need a medium sized dollop for a lighter coverage on your skin but you can go a bit thicker.

I’ve used this a few times already. And I can honestly say that I no longer need to go to a spa to have a specific facial because I can just do it at home in my pajamas while watching movies–It’s more comfortable that way. 

 Aside from me being able to do this at home, I also love the rose scent to it. They actually have a whole rose range in the shop. I am currently eyeing the eye creams next!! –I am coming for you!!

On application, I concentrated more on my cheeks rather than my forehead because I felt that I am more prone to acne and redness on my cheeks. I put this on for over 10 minutes and washed it with room temperature water. It isn’t difficult to wash off. I used a damp sponge to remove the mask. After removing the mask, I quickly applied my night cream and eye serum. My face felt instantly lifted and firm after everything. I can’t wait to see the results of this new weekly regimen of mine!
