Sephora Sundays 2011 #2: Beauty Insider Perks for Valentine's Day

As a Sephora Beauty Insider, one of the perks is getting specials that a non-BI (Beauty Insider) would get. In my email this weekend, they are offering a special Valentine's Day special gift with your online purchase- a Bare Escentuals All-Over-Face-Color blush/bronzer duo. Use Code: BELOVED to get this full-sized product! It's pretty sweeet.. and speaking of SWEET, Philosophy has this "Sweet on You" set which would be perfect for Valentine's Day..

Another Sephora Beauty Insider perk ? Getting this free gift for your birthday this year- a Philosophy Vanilla Cupcake shower gel/shampoo/bubble bath bottle.

Sephora Sundays 2011 #1: It's back!

Last January, I started a Sephora Sundays mini series that included products that I liked and available at Sephora's website. (See last year's series here!) I can spend hourssss just browsing on Sephora.com to checking out their new products, samples and just to look at products I really want to try. For 2011, I wanted to start it again since it's the new year and there's always lots of new stuff being added.

Here are some of my current items on my wishlist:

	1) Pacifica I Love fragrance - This set contains 5 solid perfumes, including Tuscan Blood Orange, Tahitian Gardenia, Hawaiian Ruby Guava, Indian Coconut Nectar, and French Lilac. I have already tried all of these except French Lilac.. and they're all yummy! See my past Pacifica reviews here.
	2) Tarte Radiant & Rested Luminous Complexion Collection- This kit is also a limited edition set from Sephora that contains 5 products to give your face a radiant look for the new year! This set contains: Natural Cheek Stain in Glisten, EmphasEYES™ Inner Rim Brightener, Recreate™ Silicone-Free Primer With Wrinkle Rewind™ Technology, Smooth Operator™ Illuminating Serum, Park Ave Princess Mineral Bronzer. I am def. interested in the inner rim brightener.. :)
	Josie Maran Eye Love You Too Palette- Looks like the packaging upgraded but the colors are so perfect for the Spring season. Love the light pink, green and blues. :) It's $42 which is a bit pricey for me right now since I've tons of other eyeshadows to use. :)

Review: Sephora OPI Nail Colour Remover

The Sephora OPI Nail Colour Remover is my go-to nail polish remover. I've used multiple drugstore brands with non-acetone before, but they always had a strong smell that wasn't pleasant. This one not only smells great but does the job quick and easy! It received 5 stars from Sephora.com users and is available for $5 for a 2 oz. bottle or $9 for a 4 oz. bottle.

Sephora Sundays #2- Free Skincare Samples for Beauty Insiders

For Beauty Insiders only, Sephora is offering this skincare sample bag for YOUR type of skin- Normal/Combo, Dry or Oily skin. Free with any online order of $25 or more, this sample kit allows you to try different brands' products that are suited for your skin.

Learn more about the 4 Steps...
Each kit has a product for a clean skin care routine in 4 Steps-
1) Cleanse- your skin, morning and night.
2) Treat- your specific problem areas
3) Moisturize- to maintain hydration
4) Protect- from future sun damage

Read Sephora's article on what exactly these four steps mean here.

For a long time, I only thought cleansing would be enough. I recently discovered the wonders of moisturizing my face, even though I had oily skin. I figured why would I want more products on my face that would create more oil. However, by moisturizing I was giving my skin what it needed so it would not overdry and produce even more oil. Hence, a happy face :)

What exactly is Step #2- Treat? According to the article, it means to treat any problem areas- whether it be zits, clogged pores, wrinkles, etc. There are products you can use to combat these problems in concentrated serums or spot treatments.

For Step #4 Protect from Sun Damage- this is something that I am workingon. Since I am allergic to many SPF products (it's the chemical used for SPF protection), I have to be very careful on what products I can use. Still looking for the right product I can use without making my face look like a tomato :)

Welcome to the first edition of the Sephora Sundays Series (SSS! hehe) brought to you by Beauty and All That.
