Sephora 2017 Birthday Gift Review


Tarte Cosmetics Birthday Gift Set:



Amazonian clay 12-hour blush - paaarty
1.5g / 0.05 Oz.




The blush is a pretty wearable shade and definitely lasts all day. I'm not a huge fan of blush in general so I probably won't be reaching for this very often, but for anyone who loves blush I think this is a nice addition to your collection.

Tarteist Lip Paint - birthday suit
1mL / 0.034 Fl. Oz.



This was my first time trying a liquid lipstick and it was an interesting experience. For the most part, once the lip paint dries it just feels like nothing on your lips.






After a few hours of wear I noticed that it left a gross white line on my inner lips. This lip paint definitely accentuates all the lines on your lips and any dryness you may have will be amplified.

 Caudalie Birthday Gift Set:



Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet
10mL / 0.33 Fl. Oz.






Vinoperfect Radiance Serum
10mL / 0.33 Fl. Oz.





Both of these products smell vaguely of grapes, which makes sense since that is the main ingredient. The only problem is that after it's rubbed into the skin it kind of smells bad. That being said when applied to the face, there is no noticeable scent so I haven't had a problem with using this serum. I haven't used it enough to really notice any difference yet. I also don't have any major skin issues or dark spots so I probably will not see much of a difference regardless, but I will use it up anyway. The moisturizer has a nice texture and softens the skin nicely, but oilier skin types may not find this product to be ideal.
