Beauty must-haves

13 Hearts

this is my "can't live without it" list ; ) Beauty products are definitely my ultimate shopping vice. Microsoft Money gives me a visual representation (pie chart) of my monthy Sephora spend and it's a painful sight. All the same, I love to dabble in new products. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!!

Perfect for summer.

Bought this over the weekend and I'm in love with it. The eyeshadows are gorgeous on. I've only tried the lightest of the lip shades so far - the color is super natural and not too glossy. I used the blush on the apples of my cheeks alongside Tarte's Mineral Powder Bronzer.

Yay I bought it, too. Let me know if you have pointers. :)

Stila Brow Set

I use this in dark to make my thin light brown brows more pronounced and to match my dark brown (colored) hair. Paired with Stila brow polish in Dark, it's amazing. If you don't need the brown polish to color your brows, any clear gel will do. My one piece of advice is after you use the powder, comb through brows before using the brow polish to blend a little and it'll look less severe. Love this duo... ALWAYS on my shopping list!

I agree with leeniekat, though I use warm to make my blonde eyebrows more in line with my red hair. The stila counter girls all use it with the light side on the outer half of the brows and the dark side on the thicker inner part. And it stays wel on its own too - no need for brow polish unless you need waterproofing. This is on my list of must have makeup if I had the option to bring that with me to a desert island. Plus, it lasts forever. I've used it every day for over a year and I still have plenty left. Stila #18 brush is perfect with it.

I was pretty impressed with the Benefit brow kit.

@newsgirl057 yeah i like benefits brow kit too.

I lovelove this product!

I like a bronzy-brown look so I generally stray from pinks, but I've heard so much about Nars Orgasm that I'm going to have to try it. Now that they have it packaged with a bronzer it's a little less daunting to me ;)

Moving this to my "must-haves" list ;)Laguna Bronzer is absolutely amazing, and the Orgasm Blush adds a pretty touch o' color to my apples. Tempted to buy another before this limited edition combo sells out.

i recently have become obsessed with this duo!!!! im definatly going to buy it now!

love love love this. makes your skin look flawless! deff. recommend.

looks great when i first put it on, but it wears off quickly and by the end of the day i'm not wearing makeup! might be b/c of my oily skin...

Love it...finally found something thats good for my skin w/SPF! Highly recommend this! I LOVE IT!

i agree, my skin is just all oily by the end of the day. for ppL like me, it might be better to use some kind of mattifier underneath this

I love this stuff too! It makes your skin look flawless because you can pretty much easily cover up anything, and it gives you a natural radiance without looking fake and powdery

I never wore foundation because I hate the feel of makeup. I tried everything, but when I tried this foundation on at the hair salon, it was skin perferction even in florescent lighting. Felt like silk and I cannot live without it.

I GOT THIS STUFF WAY BEFORE YOU COULD BUY IT AT STORES...WHEN YOU COULD ONLY ORDER IT..TO BE HONEST THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I BOUGHT IT..IT FELT GROSS ON MY SKIN AND MADE MY SKIN LOOK OILY...

do you like this? this is on my list of things to try.. i'd really like some feedback on it. how long can you go without washing?

Hey Alexandria!I was stoked when I saw this was available! I’m a big fan of dry shampoos because my hair looks pretty greasy if I don’t wash it every day. I do see a slight increase in volume, but my favorite benefit is that after using it I still have a healthy sheen and it doesn’t make my hair feel dry and brittle like the other [powder] dry shampoos out there. I would feel comfortable heat-styling my hair after using this, whereas I would never flat iron my hair after using the powders. This is definitely my new fave product!!

this is the only one that has no color. all the others my leave a white powder... but this one is by far my fav... and has an amazing smell.!!!

help! lol so i got this one & i like it. it smells great, it's NOT staticy, & it' is easy to "wield". :) but i can't tell if i'm using it right! i feel like my hair still looks a little greasy - any pointers? how do you use it? =] (btw - mine DOES have a white burst sometimes, but not all the time, so i wonder if the nozzle is messed up?)

Hey shfinco! I shake the heck out of the bottle, then pull up sections of hair and start spraying... I keep the can moving (kinda like a blow dryer) as I work it through to prevent against the powdered look. After about 2-3 sections I start rubbing it in. Only experienced a plugged nozzle once out of the dozen cans I've been through, but a quick rinse in hot water had it working again in no time.I have to use a lot, too, which makes this a little unpractical at 22 bucks a can, but this is by far the best dry shampoo I've ever used. ;)

I need to try this!

Sephora loves to suck me in with their premium samples. ;)

I like this stuff...it's somewhat expensive, but you don't have too use that much product at a time to get decent results. It's good for creating texture in my naturally curly hair. It smells really good too.

i got the sample too. =] i LOVE this stuff (even more than the Aveda light elements fluid).... will probably buy when the sample gives out! agree - it smells yummy.

This really does smell amazing. I grew up using Aveda, so I'm pretty pickey about scents. It's also really good on long/fine hair - doesn't weigh your hair down like some of the other shine products. definitely agree - will buy this after my sample is gone!

Another recommendation from the gals at diPietro. Supposed to be ultra light and good for long, fine hair.

I am lusting this as well! Have you given it a shot yet?

amazing product. i use it on my bleached-white hair and can easily blowdry and flat iron it everyday.. without it i'd probably be near bald by now ;p

This was recommended to me by a few gals at my salon. One of them uses it as her daily conditioner, the other uses it every other day in place of shampoo. Supposed to be great for long & fine hair. I'm a bit apprehensive because I couldn't find this on Sephora's web site - has any one else tried it?

I have tried Rene Furterer products and adored them - my old salon (Pillegi on the Square in Philly) uses them - but this was when everyone was boycotting French products (or atleast me!), so I only adored them every few months when I when into the salon... I used Alfa-Parf at home - and highly recommend that as well! Especially the conditioner.. which is incredible... I made a K list for you, with the products I adore! http://www.kaboodle.com/weepopstar/hair.html

Oh and you know I have fine hair - with splayed ends (as ginger's do!)

I'm sold on T3 - thank you Andreah! I took this with me on my last trip to MI and converted a friend of mine who used to swear by CHI ;)

I'm really skeptical about the wet/dry thing. I'm not particularly precious with my hair (and it's still in good shape) but I don't think I'd want to heat style wet.

I completely agree on heat-styling wet hair - I'm way too leery to even try it. This flat iron is amazing on dry hair and saves me sooo much time.

I love the idea of this page! Except, I think my page would just be all of sephora.com. Hmmm...

Hi Kristi. I've used the lip plumping products and to me it feels like they work. At least they feel good and when my lips tingle they feel like they're working. When I look in the mirror it looks like it as well, but I was just watching a beauty special this morning that said they don't work and are all "hoopla." I say to each his own! Maybe for some of us it works and for others it may not. I won't stop using mine. It makes me feel sexy even if it's just in my mind! lol Adriana

Great list! There are so many things I want to try! *adding to favorites*

Thanks Kristi for this list, it has been a great help!

Love to read about what other people think.

this is a great list...plus, i heard great recommendations! thanks!

Awesome list! Thank you for sharing. There's so many things here that I've wondered about but didn't want to dish out the cash for. But now I know where to go for some opinions. Thanks again!
