It's been a bit quiet on the blog I know. So what happened? Just life I guess. I feel like life is just rushing by and I'm nog able to keep up. Of course the fact that it's dark when you leave for work and it's dark again when you come home isn't helping. I am in desperate need of some sunlight let me tell you. And let's not forget my trip to the dentist that costed me enough to go into a no-buy modus for the rest of the month. I kept telling myself that I don't need anything new makeup wise and that the latest editions coming out aren't worth splurging on ... did I believe it? Deep down I didn't but it worked for a week or two ;-)
I failed on the no-buy thing though ... but in my defense, I had to! You see, my bestie has a birthday coming up and I already knew what I wanted to get her so when I got a 20% off mail from Sephora.fr I just had to go for it (and get some things for myself while I was at it).
The thing with Sephora.fr? First of all there are shipping costs and as you may know by now, I'm allergic to shipping costs, especially within Europe. These days there are so many sites that offer free shipping that I try to avoid site that do charge shipping. But the thing with Sephora is that they have a few brands that are hard to find elsewhere and with the discount I more than made up for the costs.
The second thing is that Sephora.fr is always a bit disappointing to me. I've been in the States at least once a year for the past five years or so and the French Sephora hasn't got all the brands you can get in the States. No Kat Von D, no Hourglass, no Becca ... But I'm keeping my fingers crossed because Sephora US started shipping to Germany, The Netherlands and a few other European countries so I'm hoping Belgium will soon be joining the ranks.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by Sephora.fr. I ordered on a tuesday evening and my package arrived friday noon even though the website stated 2 to 5 days and I always assume the worse.
So what was in there you ask? I treated myself to Marc Jacobs Style Eye-con no.7 plush eyeshadow palette in The Dreamer, Marc Jacobs New Nudes lipstick in Understudy and Sephora express nail remover wipes. You can expect swatches of these on the blog soon. I got the Sephora Rouge Infusion lipgloss in Pink Essence (33) for a friend and than there was a present for the birthday girl that isn't in the pictures because it's a surprise and I know she's reading. You have a few more weeks of waiting to do!!!
Another great thing: you get to choose your samples. I went for By Terry moisturizing cc cream, Make Up Forever HD foundation and Benefit Air patrol eyelid primer. I can't wait to try these!!
I will definitely be buying Sephora.fr again when I have a discount code!! But for now there are other things to buy ... like Zoya nail polish, the winter collection of Essie, the holiday editions that are launching, the Urban Decay palette in collaboration with Gwen Stefani ... too much prettiness, not enough money!!
Enjoy your week and I promise to update more regular from now on. I have some articles that are almost done and I'm planning them for this week.
