Skin Deep Shopping

As you may remember it is almost Christmas.
It’s a time for family, food, celebrations and shopping. Okay, lots  of shopping, BIG sales, internet sales and general buying madness. Are things like that for you? I spoke with Alicia the other day and she told me about all the great deals she found. Also how now she is regretting spending so much! If you have a big family or big social circle it can really be overwhelming.

Fortunately for me, my family is really small. 
I really tried to limit my shopping and cut my list way, way down this year. Then I kept finding more and more great deals, lol
Because I rarely shop, (Almost said that with a straight face, lol) I ended up purchasing a lot just for me.

But from Black Friday to Cyber Monday it was a lot to resist. There were DEALS everywhere!

Then Sephore went and had a sale....

To see what I bought scroll back a few days.

Part of my loot.

So far, I've used the BB Beauty Balm a couple of times and tonight I was able to finally find enough spare time to try the peel off mask. 

I bought the BB Beauty Balm in "travel size" to try, just encase it was crap. It cost $18usd and is really small. The BB Cream isn't as good as some others I've tried, but I thought I would give it a week before I passed judgment. 

So far I’m not impressed. It seems very dry on my face, even on top of a moisturizer. I read the reviews about how it "plumps" up your face. (WTF?!) It also made my pores more noticable.
To date nothing has topped the Dutch cream I discovered while living in Europe.  It raised the bar and no other product is coming close. But as I said I will wait a week before passing final judgement.

Now on to the Mask-

Yuck! It doesn't look pretty but it works!

Last night I tried the mask.
I must say I liked it.  I think the pores on my nose appeared smaller and my face felt much softer. The key is applying it thick and then it's easy to peel off, no scrubbing required.
My skin felt wonderful after I removed it. Now I will see if it causes any breakouts or irritation. I find so many products do when you have fair skin and sensitive complexion. 

The tube is $34.usd  and at this point I will purchase again.

I think we have a winner!

Thank you Sephora for helping me shop for myself, lol 

I will keep you updated as I try out more of my new loot! 

See you at the mall and the airport~
