Recent Finds...Sephora


My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I love anything mini size, as previously mentioned here. For an upcoming work trip, I picked up some travel size necessities. Excited to try the Caudalie beauty elixir and see what all the raves about. Returned the UD All nighter previously, but will give the small size a try since the summer has my makeup melting off my face.
Will update once I've given them a sufficient try time...

    Supercalifragilipstick...

    Kate Spade Supercalifragilipstick in Pop Art Pink
    Pardon the dry scaly hands...

    How awesome is this! First spotted this on Gal Meets Glam. The color was so pretty and how cute is the name and packaging! I was obsessed! It's more flattering in pictures that in person...In person it looks more blue toned, in pictures see above...
    Thank you Vix for picking this up! available online thru Kate Spade or in store.
    Kate Spade

    * update
    My Verdict: Pass. I find the formula quite drying. After a couple hours of wear it dries with that nasty white residue like you've been foaming at the mouth...
    I've tried it with a gloss, and another time I tried a lip balm for hydration...unfortunately it does nothing for the formula...
    While it's cute packaging, it's not worth the $24

    Casual Day at work...
    Hermes Scarf in Parures Oceanes(old)
    Hermes Chaine D'ancre Scarf Ring in Gold tone (old)
    Hermes Clic H White Enamel with Gold Hardware
    Zara Blouse(last seen here)
    Guess Jeans Capri Pants(old)
    Chanel Flats(old)

    My Verdict: Praiseworthy. This scarf was my very first Hermes purchase, it brings back fond memories! I came in looking for a scarf ring, and left with the scarf the sales associate used to show me the many uses of the scarf ring. I fell in LOVE with the colours and print. Nobody does silk like Hermes...
    I love scarves in general, but for me Hermes ones are purchased to celebrate milestones. This one happened to be for a career milestone: promotion and pay increase!
