Sephora Color I.Q. Experience

So today I ventured out in the rain to Sephora. I usually just look around. Maybe if I'm feeling a little crazy I might splurge on a nail polish or lip gloss. Well, I don't know what got into me. But before I knew it I was walking out of the store with Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in my little black and white striped Sephora bag!

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Fiji - $44 at Sephora

My sister had recently talked to me about getting color matched. I was just moseying around the store and a sales lady wasn't busy, so I asked to get matched. Well I found out that my undertones (which I thought were neutral) are actually pink. Very slightly though. I'm a "2R04" in case anyone was wondering! The foundation that I had be currently wearing was more of a neutral. I was running low anyway so I decided to go ahead an pick up the Nars Sheer Glow in Fiji so it would match my pink undertones. I've been wearing it most of the day and it is definitely lightweight, but gives a nice medium coverage.

I also found this awesome website about what to wear after you find out what undertones you have. I'm definitely going to be breaking out the jewel toned colors this fall/winter!

Amazing Skin Products

Well, I have been on a little bit of a hiatus lately. School is officially in full swing! I find myself looking up quick "get ready with me tutorials" on YouTube since my days now start at 5:00am.

Let's get to the good stuff! I have always wanted to try Mario Badescu products, but at $35 for one jar of face cream... I was definitely on the fence. I found this amazing website the other day (while I was taking a break from lesson plans of course) and it led me to samples on the Mario Badescu website! I figured it would take weeks to show up and honestly had almost forgotten about it. I got a little goody in the mail the other day and couldn't have been happier! 

Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Cream (Sample Size)

Even though I am fairly young, I make a lot of facial expressions and my skin is quite dry. My skin usually feels tight and I have small fine lines starting to form. As soon as I tried this my skin instantly felt moisturized! It was not greasy either. The cream also has little to no scent... which is perfect for sensitive skin.

The mini Peptide Renewal Cream also came with Peptide Renewal Serum. I found that product had a little bit more of a scent, but it was very moisturizing and went into my skin very quickly.

Both of these products are also gluten-free which is a huge plus for me! I have Celiac and it can be hard sometimes finding products without "fillers" or gluten in them.

I absolutely love these products and am so happy I finally got to try Mario Badescu! Make sure to check their website often because they do samples and it is a great way to discover something you love!
