I promised a review of my past Sephora haul so 

Maison Margiela REPLICA Memory Box

If you like MM fragrances and want to try out some of the collection, it’s hard to do better than this set. However, I found that I only like a couple of the fragrances (Beach Walk and By the Fireplace). The rest didn’t impress me and will likely go to my sister. 

Amika Polished Perfection Straightening Brush

This hair tool has already made it’s way into a Monthly Favorites post and well into my heart. The perfect easy styling tool. It gives me romantic sleek waves in minutes. My only gripe is that soon after I bought this, they released a set for the same price that including multiple Amika hair products in addition to the brush. Still bitter about that! 

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc All Over Body Spray

I’m still futilely clinging to Summer with this fragrance. It smells like how you would imagine a sexy, bronzed swimsuit model lounging under the shade of a coconut tree would smell. I’m no swimsuit model, and there’s snow on the ground outside, but I don’t need to acknowledge either of those facts. The body sprays by TF are a great option, because they’re more affordable than the standard perfumes and they smell just as good and are long lasting.

Sephora Collection Blend ‘Til The End Sponge Set

Good quality makeup blending sponges at a good price. Necessary for when I choose to wear base makeup.

Verb Hydrating Mask

I’m pretty impressed with Verb as a brand; they make some solid hair products at affordable prices. This mask has become a favorite in my family; my mom uses it as conditioner . Not the nicest scent, but it works well to nourish hair without being too heavy. I’ve already repurchased this.

Tan-Luxe THE BUTTER Illuminating Tanning Butter

A definite miss for me. I didn’t notice much glow on the skin after using this, yet it’s able to stain clothes and bed sheets tan? Whack. The smell is also not fantastic for a product you’re supposed to cover yourself with (fake tan w/ raspberries?). Feels good on the skin, but kind of a pain to apply all over the body. Also, not quick drying. Doesn’t do it for me.

Tan-Luxe THE FACE Illuminating Self-Tan Drops in Light/Medium

This product on the other hand has become a love of mine (also included in a Monthly Favorites)!  Gives you the perfect tan with minimal effort. Maybe their THE BODY drops would work better for me?
