Sephora Wish List

Thought that I would post something fun figuring that I haven't posted anything in a while! A wish list is always fun and they are kind of like HAULS right?

I mean I am nosey and like to see whats on others peoples wish lists so that I could discover new products, see what I have, don't have... etc. I mean plus the internet these days are FULL of reviews of drugstore makeup including swatches and the whole 9 yards, when I think people should be doing reviews on high end products too! Drugstore makeup makes up 70% of my collection I don't mean to sound like I have a tree that sprouts money. But it is because of the fact that I don't own this said tree (which I wish one day to aquire) that HIGH end makeup should be shed light on, not every day an average Joe walks into Sephora and drops national debt for makeup. With different reviews you can see different opinions and be sure of what you are going to buy or even get a sample of, cause trust me samples can do damage to your face (I would know, I am currently suffering a breakout from a sample I picked up from Clarins).

Anyways ladies I think that's enough of an intro, cause this isn't even a review its a fun post of what I would love to add in my collection.

1. Dior Airflash Foundation

For 62.00 USD <shop item here>

They say this product is amazing, I really want to buy it!

2. NARS bronzer in Casino

For 36.00 USD <shop item here>

I love being tan, I don't fake tan, I naturally tan which is probably really damaging. But this color seems like it would compliment my skin really well in the summer. I heard that Mac has a dupe for NARs' Casino bronzer called Blunt yet, I have Blunt and have swatched this Casino bronzer and feel like the Blunt is a little lighter in color or pigmentation.

3. Bobbi Brown Correcter (Under Eye Color Corrector)

For 23.00 USD <shop item here>

4. St. Tropez Gradual Tan in Medium/Dark

For 30.00 USD <shop item here>

This is of course oddly enough saying I do not self tan, but I think if I were to start from all the great things I have heard about this product I would definatly want to guve this a try and my skin a break from the sun!

5. Murad Acne Complex Kit

For 60.00 <shop item here>

Although I have a bad experience with products to clear acne, but I also have bad acne! So there should be something that helps it, maybe this would be the answer!

Why Invest in High End Bags?

Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Celine, Michael Kors, Channel... etc are bags exploding over the fashion world, coming out with new collections and with the raging trend cycle, your not garunteed that what is in now will be in tomorrow.

Should you invest in a high end bag?

I think that if you are someone who can afford to invest into a high end bag then you should definatly look into it.

Quality?

of most of the high end bags really are worth the price tag most of the time. You should do your research don't be shy to ask people that carry high end bags, if they like them, if the quality holds up, search online, check out different YouTube videos.

Price TAG! -

It might most of the time seem like an ouchy when your looking at those triple digits and even some time 4 digit price tags on some bags, but with your research you will be able to weed out the brands that over charge.

My personal experience and advice for shopping for high end bags.

1. Do your research as I stated above. Not only online and through people, go to the store and ask the workers questions.

2. If you do decide to buy a high end bag, buy the type and look that you love and can see your self still being love with a year from now. Even if you don't really end up wearing the bag for the whole year if you like the bag and buy it because you love it you will most likely be willing to carry the bag in the seasons to come.

3. Warning it will become an addiction when you start on high end bags, try to always keep a mix of different bags and different price points in your collection its not alway about carrying a bag that has a brand that can talk and walk on its own, sometimes its about your outfit or even sometimes about your smile, always keep that in mind.
