Josie Maran set + Naked by Urban Decay from Sephora! :) :) :) :)

I do love Birchbox shopping a lot

I recently stopped by Sephora and purchased the Josie Maran Winter Dreams argan oil makeup collection. Every item contains nourishing argon oil to hydrate and beautify all day. I'm a huge fan of makeup that's essentially good for your skin, and I've been using these products every day.

In my search for natural makeup, I definitely appreciate a luxury brand using essential oil in their products, so I was excited to delve into this set.



Not pictured, the coconut oil eyeshadow. I actually haven't been using it. It's a little too bright for me.

I've actually been using this light oil a lot. It absorbs really quickly and doesn't feel super heavy on my face. I really love it. I wear it under my makeup for a glowing undertone. I have combination skin, and this oil moisturizes my dry areas without making my oilier areas too greasy.



This cheek and lip oil is growing on me. I don't use it on my lips, but I do like the rich color on my cheeks. It's really bright and stays on for a while, and it's easy to apply, and the oil gives off a glowing, dewey look.
Paired with the golden highlighting cream, it gives off a flawless luminous effect.
There are some downsides though is that the oil can separate in the tube and it's hard to mix it up... The formula is also somewhat tacky, so it feels a little strange, but it's easy to get used to. And it's a REALLY rich, saturated color, so be wary of using too much.


I'm really into this mascara. It's a really intense black and the formula nourishes your lashes. And I think the design is cool, haha. The brush is a little much though. The bristles are long and hard to control, but it gave me really dramatic, fanned-out lashes .


I also got the Urban Decay Naked Skin Illuminating Beauty Balm.
There were two other shades, one bronzing and one was normal. The bronzing one was really orangey, so I opted for this one.

I LOVE the Naked collection. Naked 2 Basics eyeshadow was made for me. And this BB cream is great. It's glimmery and sheer, so I did have to use some extra concealer on certain areas (namely under my eyes), but I loved how it looks overall. And it smells REALLY good, although it leaves a weird residue on your fingers so watch out!

It's really light and leaves my skin with such a nice glow. Truly luminous and it doesn't feel like I'm masking my whole face like most liquid foundations. 



This is something that I NEED in my life.
Pulp Fiction forever, Mia Wallace forever
My boyfriend would be so into this lipstick, haha. He's a huge tarantino fan.
As for me, the bluish undertones would be perfect for me.

I can't wait to make my next purchase.
