The Best of Sephora

      

Sephora is one of the best things to happen to the beauty industry and has radically changed the way we shop for beauty products. I remember my first visit to the store in the early 2000s, when I bought a Lorac pot of clear gloss and treated it as a little pot of gold.

When I lived in West Texas, I was utterly dismayed when I realized there was no Sephora for hundreds of miles. So whether you shop their site, their store, or their app for the beauty products you love the most, take note of these amazing products from their wallet-friendly in-store brand, Sephora Collection.

How to Get Perfect Eyebrows Every Time

    

We all envy the beautiful framed faces of celebrities past like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth, and Marilyn Monroe. Perfectly shaped eyebrows can make all the difference on a face— with makeup or without. Here are some products I recommend to create celebrity-worthy brows every time.

Makeup Look. Brown eyes and a pink pout.

On the lips: Tarte Matte LipSurgence in Lucky // Jouer lipgloss in Birchbox Pink or try Bobbi Brown lipgloss in Hot Pink

On the eyes: Bobbi Brown long wear cream shadow in Cement -as a base // MAC eyeshadow in Club -all over the lid // Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Velvet Plum -in the crease // Sephora waterproof eyeliner in Flashy Brown -along the lash line.

Beauty Favorite: Cleansing Oil.
We are constantly told that (too much) oil is bad for the skin, especially those of us prone to breakouts. My skin is extremely sensitive and I beg to differ. These cleansing oils are a fabulous addition to any medicine cabinet.
To use it, massage the oil (without wetting skin) all over the face and neck, which loosens the makeup (even eyes!) and it simultaneously pampers and cleanses. When this facial massage is complete and the skin is evenly coated, wet hands with warm water and keep massaging the skin. You will notice a thin milky texture forming, which washes away all of the makeup & latched on dirt.
For combination and oily skin, use the oil as a weekly treatment, or for drier skin try it for a new cleanser! My favorite is the Bobbi Brown version.

If you love Bobbi Brown cosmetics like I do, you will fawn over her new blog called Everything Bobbi. The site is filled with Bobbi’s travels, inspiration, and tips right from the guru herself. She has created beautiful, natural, “I feel gorgeous” makeup for 20 years and developed quite a following. My first makeup how-to book was her “Teenage Beauty” and I’ve been hooked ever since. Congratulations Bobbi!
