 This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article There's nothing that gets us as giddy as a little girl on Christmas Day than spending an afternoon at Sephora. Their shelves are lined with new shadows, perfumes, and the latest products promising to make us look absolutely, positively amazing. But what's the stuff that's really worth the spendy price tag? We stalked Sephora customers to find out. |
 | Fashion designer, Diane von Furstenberg is launching her new fragrance, named Diane, and will be at NYC's Sephora Soho Thursday, October 27th from 6-8 PM.

 | Last week, I posted about the Sephora Beauty Insider's 500 point gift for a Josie Maran set and how I snatched it. Well, it finally came this week and super glad it did. I can now enjoy all of the Argan Oil goodies including the two products that I purchased- Argan Oil Daily Moisturizer with SPF 40+ & Argan Illuminizer. But first, the 500 point gift! |
 |  |
Argan Illuminizer- See more reviews here. I use this as a highlighter above my cheeks right now and love how it just makes my face look so radiant. It's a bit bronzey and the shade is just right- in fact, the color is so pretty, most skin tones can wear this and look absolutely stunning. They recommend using this under dark circles but I haven't tried that yet. For a gorgeous dewy look, I recommend this! | Daily Moisturizer- So far, this has been a really smooth moisturizer that I use sparingly. haha. This small little bottle was kinda expensive so I am saving it up! A pump is all I really need actually to cover my entire face. I use this first and then the illuminizer. :) (I was able to get cashback on my order via Ebates and get FREE hair product samples- coming soon!) |

 Source: www.sephora.com | I have to admit I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't need to use a deodorant all the time. :) You all know I am all about using natural products when possible so when I received this All-natural, free of chemicals, healthy deodorant by LAVANILA Laboratories to try, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked just as well as others I have tried in the past. To truly test its effectiveness, I used it while doing a 30 minute (intense-hehe) workout. Results? Passed with flying colors. |
