A couple of weeks ago, I headed over to Sephora with the (very honest and very innocent) intention of buying hairspray. Then…this, somehow, happened:

Above, (kinda) clockwise: Benefit ‘World Famous Neutrals’ Eye Palette & ‘The Porefessional’ Primer, L’Oreal Elnett Satin Extreme Hold Hairspray, Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, Sephora Cotton Flower Moisturizing Hand Cream

The only thing that wasn’t a complete impulse buy was the Benefit ‘Porefessional’, which I have been meaning to get for a while (and which, in my defense, was 35% off at the time).

The eye palette (also at 35% off) was picked up instead of the Too Faced ‘Naked Eye’ one (which was not in stock) and has proved to be amazing and, when used with a primer, extra long-lasting. All six colors included (see below) are subtle & sultry at the same time and can easily be played down or up – for morning/ evening looks respectively.
The Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara was something I kept hearing about and felt that I needed (my bottom lashes are real tiny, to the point that I have, literally, never been able to put a coat of mascara on them without totally smudging the whole area under my carefully done eye). Plus, at 15€ (-35%) it would be sacrilege not to pick it up (he he).

Last, but not least, I got myself a little tube of the Sephora Cotton Flower hand cream (to substitute for my L’Occitane Rose 4 Reines Velvet Hand Cream, which has run out, until I restock).

Moral of today’s post – aka recent Haul no.2 (see recent Haul no.1 here): Never carry extra money or a credit/debit card with you, when on totally routine trips to beauty stores…
