US Beauty Sephora Haul

When I was in Florida in May, I couldn’t resist several trips to Sephora. It honestly is the holy grail of beauty shops! We were staying on Disney property and thankfully there is a Sephora at Disney Springs. Every time that we were shopping or dining out in the area, I popped in and bought one or two items. I also did visit the Sephora at Florida Mall but it was quite small store and overall, I wasn’t too impressed with the mall. A lot of the popular items were sold out but I did manage to get a fair few things that I’m super excited to try out and I thought I would do a blogpost on them.

I am aware that most of these items are available in the UK and potentially are cheaper here, especially with the exchange rate. I did buy most of these items just because I’d saved up holiday money and holiday money isn’t real money, right? I’ll try and link them if I can find them on UK websites though!

The first thing I picked up is the Laneige Sleeping Mask and this was $22. I’ve seen quite a few people talk about this on TikTok and I want to give it a go as I do have pretty dry lips. Obviously, I’m hoping that this price point that it will work wonders on my lips. So far, I’ve used it a few times and my lips feel amazing in the morning. I’m sure I’ll be doing a full review soon when I’ve used it a bit more. The sleeping mask does come in a few different flavours but I have gone for the original unscented one.. I’ve also just seen online that this has launched in the UK recently and you can get it from Cult Beauty.

The next two items are picked up from my favourite brand; Charlotte Tilbury. Certainly with the exchange rate, Charlotte Tilbury is a lot more expensive in the US. However, these products tend to be out of stock quite a lot and when I saw them I just decided to pick them up. I’ve got the contour wand in light to medium and the Glowgasm beauty light wand in Pinkgasm. They were $40 each and £29 in the UK. These products have been very well talked about. I’ve got to say I’m absolutely obsessed with the contour wand. However, I’m not completely sold on the Beauty light wand which acts as a cream blush. It’s very pretty but the packaging feels empty so I can’t see this product lasting very long.

I was clearly on a roll with purchasing liquid blushes as I actually didn’t have any in my collection. I’d found that the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush came highly recommended. I got the shade Happy, however it was a close call against the shade Joy. Rare Beauty is Selena Gomez’s brand and it seems to be doing pretty well. I was hoping to try the tinted moisturisers too but they were pretty much totally out of stock. I’ve not actually used it properly yet. However, when I’ve swatched the prouct, it’s mega pigmented. A little with this product will certainly go a long way. I’ll report back in full when I’ve used it properly. Rare Beauty has launched in the UK and is sold at Space:NK but a lot is currently sold out.

The third and final liquid blush of this haul was from another favourite brand of mine; Nars. The Nars Liquid Blush in Orgasm is already a big hit with me. I’ve worn it a few times and found it really nice to apply and it blends out lovely. The shade is so universal and it suits me quite well. In fact, I was so obsessed with the powder version back in the day.

I also picked up the Huda Liquid Matte Lipstick in Wifey which was $19. I have a few Huda liquid matte lipsticks which were part of a miniature set and I’ve been impressed with them. The shade Wifey is the one which I liked the most and have been wearing a lot so I thought I’d get the full version. I really do rate this liquid matte lipsticks. I’ll be doing a blogpost about them as there’s a few other brands which are up there too. These lipsticks are £18 in the UK so this one was a good deal as with the exchange rate I’ll have saved a little bit of money. Just a little bit.

Finally, there was a tiny error with my last product I picked up from Sephora. I had been meaning to pick up the Milk Makeup Hydra Grip Primer and I must have just read Hydra Grip and ended up with the setting spray. I’d seen a lot about the Primer on TikTok and wanted to give it a go. However, I have used the Hydra Grip setting spray and it’s okay. I’ve not noticed any huge differences with using it but I’m going keep using it before coming to a final verdict.

Stay tuned as I’ll be doing a post very soon with more in-depth first impressions of the products in my Sephora haul. There will also be a lot of posts about my trip to Florida too!
