My New Obsession

Beauty products and make-up have never played a big part in my life.  I am sure that the main reason for that is that my mum never wears make-up (I think she has only worn make-up twice in her life and one of those days was my wedding day).  However I have been following this really amazing blog called Insightful Athlete which I starting reading because of a shared interested in Lululemon clothing.  This woman posts about lots of other athletic brands and also posts about other athletic, fashion and beauty related topics including her shopping experiences at Sephora.  This is what started my new obesssion.

My interest started with Dry Shampoo because I have heard a lot about them being great if you don't want to wash your hair every day or after every work out.  Upon recommendation of Insightful Athlete I ordered Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo from Sephora in a small travel size that only cost $13 (keep in mind this is from the Canadian Sephora site).

 If you spend $75 the shipping is free so I of course had to spend more so I got Fresh Sugar Advance Therapy Lip Treatment also recommended by Insightful Athlete and because I love lip balm and I splurged and took a chance on Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment because I am getting older, my under eyes are getting darker and I just love the packaging! I can be a really sucker for packaging which is a marketers dream.

Now that these items have all arrived and I have tried them all I am totally hooked because all three are such great products.  It is too hard for me to pick which one is my favorite.  The dry shampoo did just what I hoped it would as well as adding more body and texture to my hair on a day when I don't shampoo and it also smells SO good.  It is pretty easy to use, you just have to be careful not to squeeze out too much at once and you have to rub it in well or it leaves your hair looking a little white. I only just use it at the front hairline of my scalp because that is where the oiliness starts to show for me.  

The lip therapy is the best I have ever used and again smells SO good and goes on smoothly.  It is expensive but for me it was totally worth it because I use lip balm everyday and I don't wear lipstick or lip gloss.  The eye treatment packaging was just as alluring for me as it was on screen and I like the product but don't think it has done anything mind blowing for my eyes but I do like putting it on and will happily use the whole pot.  I am not 100% sure I could justify buying it again but we will see when I have finished all of this pot.

I have since this order been to Sephora stores twice and placed another online order which I will posted about soon.

Do you have any favorite, must try or must have products from Sephora?
