Evento da Sephora na Espaço Fashion com a Vic Ceridono

Quem já viajou para algum país que tenha Sephora, sabe que as lojas são paraísos de pura perdição! Maquiagem para todos os gostos, de excelente qualidade e com preço acessível. Acho impossível sair de uma Sephora sem pelo menos uma sacolinha...cheia até a boca! Sempre lamentei que nós, aqui no Brasil, ainda não tivéssemos um parque de diversões desse, e aposto que você também. Pois Nsra. do Make Up ouviu nosso mimimi e bradou do alto de seu girl power: É Sephora que elas querem? Sephora elas terão!

Na verdade, não sei se foi exatamente assim que a coisa toda se desenvolveu, mas fato é que a Sephora, finalmente, está no Brasil. Por enquanto, os produtos estão à venda apenas pelo site da Sack's, mas, ano que vem, teremos uma loja física no Rio e outra em São Paulo. Vamos comemorar? 

Eu já comecei a celebração ontem, quando participei do evento da Sephora na Espaço Fashion de Ipanema, onde os produtos que vieram para o Brasil foram expostos. Deu para conhecer cada um deles em detalhes. Eu, pelo menos, saí experimentando tudo para contar para vocês!


As sombras podem ser individuais (em cores incríveis, tanto opacas quanto com brilho) ou em quintetos enlouquecedores! Saí completamente apaixonada por elas! E a textura é fantástica!




Os corretivos são daquele tipo que você gira a base e o produto vai saindo no pincel que fica na extremidade. São VÁRIOS tons, o que já começa muito bem. Além disso, gostei bastante da consistência e achei a cobertura ótima!



Os glosses....gente, acho que eu até sonhei com eles! De todas as coisas maravilhosas, foram o meu momento Oi-tum-tum-bate-coração MÓR! Na verdade, há dois modelos de gloss: os líquidos, em formato tradicional, e as bisnaguinhas, nas quais o produto tem uma consistência mais gelatinosa. Esses últimos foram os meus preferidos. Escolhi uma cor para passar e a gente se entendeu tão bem, que eu me peguei retocando umas duas vezes ao longo do evento. Intimidade perde! Antes que eu faça a Glenn Close (Atração Fatal) do mostruário, acho prudente arrumar logo um no site pra chamar de meu.




Mariah, minha irmã e fiel escudeira, colocou uma das cores na mão para testar
E eu, já mais do que familiarizada com o meu...união estável e tudo!
Os blushes são lindos, também vêm em vários tons e ficam bastante naturais na pele. Acho que eles foram os donos da maior parte dos elogios que eu estava ouvindo das convidadas. Eu também amei. Aliás, uns 3 tons diferentes entraram para a minha wishlist!



Os batons têm cores lindas e, na maioria, extremamente coringas: daquelas que caem bem em qualquer tom de pele. Clássico batom que a gente leva na bolsa porque deixa a gente naturalmente linda, seja lá qual for a a roupa, a ocasião, ou mesmo a maquiagem.



Esses lápis de olho também são enlouquecedores! Cremosíssimos (ninguém no mundo - nem a menina que quebrava meus crayons no jardim de infância - merece lápis áspero e duro que machuca os olhos e não risca direito!), em um mundo de cores maravilhosas e com uma característica muito legal que eu valorizei de cara: o tamanho! Já perceberam que, mesmo quando você consegue compactar sua maquiagem para caber naquela necessaire LINDA, o lápis é comprido demais para entrar? Pois bem, quem quer que tenha projetado esses lápis adorava usar bolsa pequena: o tamanho reduzido dele é perfeito para caber em qualquer lugar.




Os delineadores em pincel também têm diversos tons e uma consistência muito boa. O pincel não é daqueles rígidos, mas também não é molenga a ponto de ficar desgovernado na hora da aplicação.



São várias as máscaras para cílios: cada uma proporciona um efeito diferente. Tentei pegar os aplicadores nas fotos, para que vocês entendam melhor para que cada um serve.

Para engrossar os cílios e dar volume
Para dar volume e curvatura: aplicador no estilo do Fatale, da Lancôme (AMO!)

Para um SUPER volume e efeito panorâmico

As bases são realmente incríveis, para todos os tons possíveis de pele! O primer também é uma loucura: tem uma textura de silicone, mas some sem deixar vestígios na pele, que fica super aveludada. O pó compacto foi a única coisa que eu não consegui experimentar. Perdão concedido?



Em resumo: a coleção é toda maravilhosa, na qualidade e nas cores! Difícil não querer pelo menos um de cada! E a organização do evento está de parabéns pela disposição dos produtos: não ficou incrível?!




E, para quem acha que isso já era bom o suficiente, o evento não se deu por satisfeito e contou com a Vic Ceridono (autora do Dia de Beauté e editora de beleza da Vogue Brasil) dando dicas sobre maquiagem para o grupo de convidadas. Eu sou fã confessa da Vic: acompanho o Dia de Beauté há anos (na verdade, foi o primeiro blog com o qual tive essa relação de leitora assídua mesmo) e já aprendi muita coisa com as dicas dela sobre maquiagem. Mas ainda não a conhecia pessoalmente. Rolou até aquele medinho básico de falar com alguém que você admira e se decepcionar no cara-a-cara, sabe? Mas que nada! Além de extremamente carismática (a palestra foi super produtiva, espontânea e divertida), ela é uma fofa! Chegou a me dar uma ajuda ímpar depois da palestra com uma inaptidão que me persegue: encontrar o cantinho do meu olho para aquele efeito esfumadinho bacana que eu faço nos outros lindamente e sempre erro em mim mesma. Obrigada, Vic!

Aula particular com a Vic Ceridono sobre como encontrar o cantinho do olho: didática perfeita! Não é que encontrei?!
Muito bacana quanto pessoalmente a nossa admiração pela pessoa só aumenta.


E, das ótimas dicas dadas por ela para uma maquiagem que disponha de muito tempo, tempo médio, pouco tempo ou tempo zero, fiz um resumo para compartilhar com vocês:

- Adorei ela ter dito que, mesmo que você vá fazer toda a transformação no salão,  o ideal é levar uma ou mais fotos do que você tem em mente. Sempre digo e faço isso, e realmente ajuda MUITO! Funciona para maquiagem, penteados, cortes e tonalidades de cabelo.

- Tem pouquíssimo tempo para uma maquiagem de impacto? Aposte ou no batom vermelho, ou em um olho bem marcado e com bastante rímel!

- Outra dica ótima também para quem precisa de um UP em tempo zero: lápis de olho, preferencialmente com textura mais cremosa, delineando a pálpebra superior, e esfumado com o dedo até obter aquele efeito Rocker. Se tiver mais 30 segundos, coloque um pouco de brilho no V interno dos olhos. Way to go!

- Aproveitar a maquiagem do dia é uma ótima forma de otimizar o tempo! Segue o que já está, e entra uma dose extra de blush (que pode ser mais marcado à noite, mas nada de efeito chinelada, meninas!), iluminados nos pontos certos, um olho mais marcado e rímel: quanto mais rímel melhor!

- Use pó compacto apenas nas áreas que realmente pedem o produto: a famosa zona T. Deixar o resto do rosto livre de pó dá um ar mais natural.

- Passar uma camada de sombra preta por cima do delineado que você fez com lápis, ajuda a selar e segurar o traçado por mais tempo. AMEI ESSA!

- Nas horas vagas, teste o que cai bem em você. Tons de batom, espessura do traço do delineador, cores de blush, pontos do iluminador...assim, na hora que você tiver um cronômetro acelerado para se arrumar e precisar ARRASAR, vai saber direitinho o que precisa usar para causar esse efeito.

Gostaram dos produtos e das dicas? Agora é aproveitar a época e caprichar na cartinha. "Querido Papai Noel, ..."

Karl Lagerfeld... para Sephora!

Quantas de vocês não amam/sonham chegar em casa e colocar um Karl Lagerfeld pendurado no cabide? Mas quem aqui já pensou em guardar um Karl Lagerfeld na necessaire?

Essa é a novidade do estilista: uma chiquérrima palette de sombras e dois esmaltes maravilhosos que serão vendidos nas lojas e no site da Sephora. Os produtos, claro, têm a imagem de Lagerfeld de perfil, que já se tornou sua marca registrada.



Eu amei os esmaltes e achei as cores de sombras bem interessantes: sem contar que o formato é divertidíssimo, e extremamente fashion! Haute Couture Make Up!


Ainda bem que a Sephora está chegando aqui no Brasil em 2012! Não vejo a hora de podermos experimentar e desfrutar de todas essas novidades em tempo real, e sem precisar de passaporte para isso!

Hello Kitty x Sanrio Happy Fun Palette

As a late birthday gift, my best friend Dez bought me a Hello Kitty x Sanrio palette!! I was really happy because I gave up buying make up for lent anddd I've been wanting to get more HK x Sanrio make up ever since I bought the eyeliner and lip balm.



the box


the palette


Ice Cream, Peppermint, Airplane, Chocolate Milk Eyeshadows


Baby Pink, Strawbery Jam, Peach Pudding, Springtime Lip Glosses


Ice Cream, Peppermint, Airplane, Chocolate Milk Eyeshadows


Baby Pink, Strawbery Jam, Peach Pudding, Springtime Lip Glosses


The palette is super cute! It's really shiny and her bow is silver. I know Hello Kitty stuff kind of borders on childish but I don't care! I'm such a sucker for the cute stuff. The big disappointment were all the lipglosses because they're all so sheer! It was kind of surprising considering the apple balm I bought was pretty pigmented. I doubt I'll be reaching for the glosses. I don't know why I've been reaching for browns so much but Chocolate Milk has definitely got to be my favorite from the palette! I haven't used these yet, but the other 3 colors seem like they would be great lid colors. When I swatched them, Ice Cream and Airplane look really similar but like I said they would be great lid colors.


The palette is $35 at Sephora which isn't a bad price for Sephora. I really want to get the Hello Kitty brush set but I'm on my no buy :( and I really don't need any more brushes!! What do you guys think? Have you tried any of the Hello Kitty palettes?

Mini Haul: Kim Kardashian Perfume, Sephora x Hello Kitty, & Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Just wanted to share my recent hauls with you! I didn't shop much when I was on Guam, except for the MAC Champale and the Stylishly Yours collection (I'll be posting those next) but I did order a couple things from the Sephora x Hello Kitty collection but I had them sent to my sister because apparently Sephora doesn't ship to Guam! I picked up a couple things when I got back to the mainland too and I actually took pictures kinda fast so I thought I'd share them with you.



Kim Kardashian Perfume Set


At first I really didn't like the smell of this perfume because it really reminded me of plumeria leis and I was never really fond of them growing up in Hawaii but for some reason this scent really grew on me. I hope it works well with my body chemistry! I've hesitated buying it for the past couple of months just because of the price, but when I saw this on sale at the BX today, I had to have it! It was only $29.08 for a 3.4 oz bottle, lotion, and body wash! That is a freaking steal because I know the bottle itself costs around $50. Check out how big this bottle is compared to my hand:





I'm sure you Hello Kitty fanatics have already heard a lot about the Sephora x Hello Kitty collection, but if you haven't already, I don't know what rock you've been hiding under! The collection should be launching this month in Sephora stores but it was released online to Beauty Insiders a couple weeks ago. I personally don't like ordering online unless I've seen what it looks like in person before so I only ordered a couple things. I got the Apple Balm and Pen Pal Eyeliner in Goodnight Dreams.





balm & pen liner


I would say the balm is more peachy in color than apple-y and applies pretty sheer. It's really soft and the first time I touched it I thought it would be more firm and I ended up getting more product than I needed to. It applies pretty sheer and as a first impression it's kind of moisturizing but I haven't worn it for a few hours to actually test the moisture factor. The first thing I noticed about the pen liner was how black the line came out in my first swatch. It needs some drying time because I tried to wipe it off maybe a minute later and it still smudge so you might need to be careful with that. Again, these are just first impressions but I'll let you know what I really think about them.



liner first swatch, thin line, apple balm


I went to Target to pick up some school supplies because I start school tomorrow -___- and of course, I went down the make up aisle. I saw the new Maybelline "Fit Me" Foundation collection and I thought I'd try it out. They actually have a pretty broad spectrum of colors and I was pleasantly surprised. There still isn't that much choice for the darker women out there, but there's quite a few for the ones in between. I'm hoping this one matches me perfectly but we'll see. It was only $7 so I thought, why the hell not? I picked shade 325 Honey Beige.








I'm hoping to post up my MAC Collection soon, but I haven't even begun taking pictures yet! Just looking at all my make up is a constant reminder that I really don't need any more make up [even though I know I just bought some!] but I semi-kind of started doing Project 10 Pan, but obviously I'm not doing too good. I am almost done with a few of the things I picked out though! I start school tomorrow so I really need to head to bed. Let me know if you've tried anything from the Sephora x Hello Kitty collection or the new Maybelline foundations!

November 2010 Favorites



I put up my favorites video a little late but here it is!

FAVORITES
+ Wet & Wild Brule Eyeshadow $1.99
I've seriously been loving this eyeshadow ever since I got it. Maybe it's because it reminds me of MAC's Brule, kind of, and MAC's Brule was the very first MAC eyeshadow I ever got. The wet and wild shadows are s pigmented and I don't know why I have a thing for highlight colors!

+ MUFE Duo Mat Powder in 209 $32
I really thought this powder might have been over hyped but I'm really glad that I got it. It gives me enough coverage to hide my blemishes WITHOUT concealer and it doesn't feel heavy or look cakey on my face at all. I was just so amazed that no matter how much I put on my face, it didn't look cakey! Plus it's so lightweight, I can't even tell it's there.

+ MAC Cut A Caper Lipstick $14.50
Sometimes pinky nudes look funny on my skin because I'm more tanned, but I really like the way light corals look on me. I just ran out of my Cute-ster lipstick and I was looking for something similar and I think I actually like this more. I think it's a luster finish? Which one of my favorite finishes.

+ Kat Von D Cathedral Lipstick $18
Mine isn't a full size but the sample I got from Sephora, but I'm really loving the formula. It's really creamy AND pigmented! My lips are always super chapped so I need a lipstick that kind of moisturizes and I feel like this does that.

+ Sephora Rounded Crease Brush $17
This is my absolute favorite blending brush that I own! It's just the right amount of stiffness - it's not too soft but not too stiff either. I think it's comparable to the MAC 224 but I don't own that one so I can't really say.

+ Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow [Naked Palette $44]
Again with the highlight colors! This is one my favorites from the Naked palette because it doubles as a highlighter and blending color for me.

+ Urban Decay Sin Eyeshadow [Naked Palette $44]
This color is amaaazing by itself. It really brightens my eyes by itself - sometimes I just use this and highlight and I'm ready!


REJECTS
- EOS Lip Balm ~$3
I did a review on this lip balm - it was a complete miss for me.

- Tokidoki Blending Brush [set is $35]
This came in a set of three and this was my least favorite of them. It's not really good at blending but kind of more for outer v, but then I feel like the brush head is too big for just the outer v. It's cute though! lol

Sephora Friends & Family Haul


the loot



Here's my haul from the Sephora Friends & Family Sale! I ordered twice because I ordered the wrong color of MUFE foundation and when I tried to exchange in store, they wouldn't give me the discount for it! I'm really happy with everything I bought - especially the NARS shadows which were on sale for only $10! They're normally $32. If you missed the sale, but you're a Sephora VIB you can still get 20% off in stores with a coupon (sent to your email) or using code VIB20 online. I'm still debating if I should get the Urban Decay Book of Shadows III but I don't know! With the 20% off it'll be the price of the UD Naked Palette! But ugh! I really don't need any more make up! I got the Tokidoki Brush Set, NARS Duos in Cheyenne and Wicked, Make Up Forever Duo Matte Powder in 209, NARS Lip Gloss Duo in Sayonara & Turkish Delight, Kat Von D Lipstick in Cathedral (sample), & Tarina Tarantino Primer (sample).



Tokidoki Brush Set





I've been wanting this set for a while and I waited for the sale just to get them. I've used it a couple times, and they are pretty good brushes but the little heads - even though they're super cute - kind of get in the way. They make the brushes feel heavier at the end and I was kind of surprised the first time I used it how heavy they are. I also think that the heads might get damaged from storage because I store my brushes standing up and one of them has already gotten a little dirty. I love the eyeliner brush though! I'm super picky with it and I haven't found anything better than the MAC 266 but this one definitely is comparable to it.



NARS Duo in Wicked


NARS Duo in Cheyenne



These were on sale on the Sephora website for $10 each! They only had a choice between these two colors and I wasn't sure about getting Wicked because the swatches that I googled weren't that pigmented but I'm glad I got them because they're both pretty pigmented! And c'mon, NARS shadows for $10?! That's insane. I don't think my swatch does these justice but I did a haul video I still need to edit and I think you can see the colors better in it! I'll post it when I'm done



MUFE Duo Matte in 209

Everyone just raves about this powder so I had to try it out for myself. I don't think I've seen anyone say bad things about it other than it's kind of pricey ($32 a pop!) but I've used it a couple times and I have to say I'm liking it so far. I don't know if I can classify this under HG status but I was surprised at how lightweight it applies but still is enough coverage to hide my blemishes. I'm still testing it out though, so maybe I'll do a review on it.



Kat Von D Lipstick in Cathedral



I chose this as my 100 point sample. It looks like it's the size of the mini lipsticks in the new Kat Von D Holiday Lipstick set but it might be a little smaller. It's described as a "spiced pinkish brown" and it's definitely a color I would wear a lot. I think it's a great fall color! I feel like the finish is like a cross between MAC's matte finish and lustre finish. It's opaque and looks matte, but it's a little shiny and kind of moisturizing.





Sayonara


Turkish Delight



I actually went to the VIB event Thursday night and I got this then. I went because they were supposedly giving out these totes for free but the email said the even started at 6 and when I went to pay at 7 they already ran out! I was like, why are you advertising this but not having enough totes?! These were only $10 and I think theres two other color combos you can choose from but I really wanted it for Sayonara. It's such a pretty color and super pigmented! I already have Turkish Delight and I do like it too but I noticed it's nowhere near as pigmented as Sayonara. I had to apply Turkish Delight 3 times to get this lip swatch but Sayonara only took once! Then again if Turkish Delight was as pigmented I would probably look like I had jizz lips LOL!

I got the Tarina Tarantino sample for downloading the iPhone app and just showing it to them! I'm not sure if they're still doing it but I was kind of annoyed when I went in and the sales associate had no idea what I was talking about she was like do you have the email? I was like it says to just show you the app? I hate when people don't know about things! But I still got it so I was happy lol. Since I said I'll start being a little more personal, I pretty much wasted my Saturday because I spent half the day being hungover and when I got over that, I got my period and I had the worst cramps! I doubt I have any male readers so whatever haha but I was just wondering what do you guys do when you have super bad cramps? When I used to take my birth control I never had any but I haven't been taking it since Brian left and every time I stop the cramps are KILLER!! :( Hope that's not TMI! But what did you guys get from the F&F sale?
