i hit sephora today--and i promised myself i wasnt going to buy something (there was some ritual and a blood oath involved). i really just wanted to peruse, touch, try everything before i went on a big haul. the good news? some of the things i thought i initially wanted somehow pale in reality--as opposed to the perfect beauty of the sephora catalog. the bad news? i remembered a whole passle of passel of products i wanted. i guess it was selective amnesia--and i am going to blame the selective amnesia on my wallet.
the nars night snow eyeshadow i'd been dying for? pretty, but i probably have 2 or 3 things like this. plus it might be a little too sheer. i am looking for a bright, winter-white. the too faced sparkler glamour gloss? pretty, but not what i expected. it wasnt as glittery as i thought (i know, i have problems--dont judge). the benefit miss popularity highlighter? this was the only product i could see myself buying, but it also wasn't what i expected. it was a dry, powdery highlighter and i like a cream formulation so much better. plus, i have a mark i-sheer cream eyeshadow in glacée with is a much cheaper doppelganger.
however, i finally got a chance to checkout the nars orgasm blush. i tried looking for this in september, but i couldnt find it in any sephora--they all said coming soon. and quite frankly, i forgot about it (i know, i am disappointed in myself too) until i was in sephora today. to be honest, i didnt have high hopes for it, which might explain me forgetting about it (again with the selective amnesia) because i wasnt particularly impressed with the orgasm lipgloss (i had a bare escentuals doppelganger, which i think is much better). well, i was wrong. this color is so so so pretty--and exact cream-to-powder translation of the best-selling blush. i can't wait to buy it--it will be the first thing i snatch up!
