Sephora Collection Travel Makeup Bags Review

Sephora Collection Makeup Bags
Blue Bowler Makeup Bag:
Sephora Collection, Holiday Magic Blue Collection Bowler: This bag was very cute! The metallic powder blue outside color was gorgeous - BUT - in terms of a travel makeup bag, it simply wasn't enough for me. Here's why, the inside pockets were a little flimsy and felt a little cheap, like if you shoved too much in there the pockets might rip; and on-top of that, the pockets were very shallow. You can see from the picture that really anything larger than my Sugar Lip Treatment and Benefit free sample weren't fitting so well. 
I wanted to love it, I really did. It just wasn't meant to be for us.

Pink Hanging Travel Bag:
Sephora Collection, Holiday Magic Pink Collection, Hanging Travel Bag: Now this travel bag has been a great addition to my ever necessary travel organization quest. I travel a lot, and I'm always trying to find the ultimate bags to organize my products & makeup. My two main objectives for a bag are 1.) organizational possibilities, because obviously I want to quickly find the products I want when it's time to whip them out, and just as equally important, 2.) the bags aren't going to take up huge amounts of space! Trust me I already pack too much, I don't need bulky bags robbing me of precious room in my luggage. 
Each of the three bags are velcroed to the main bag so removing a compartment to save space is totally possible. If you are just putting makeup in it, I don't even think you would need to do that. There are tons of compartments and enough room for -almost- everything I travel with, and I love keeping my products off the counter and all in one place while it hangs.


Sephora Haul: OPI, Philosophy, Dr. Brandt, Fresh, Make Up For Ever!


This is a big Sephora haul, by my standards at least. I stocked up a couple months ago, and am just now getting around to reviewing it because so much of what I bought I was going to use during the summer months.

January, Skincare Month at Sephora

Despite the fact that I live in the Northeast, don't think that I have a undying love of all things cold - because I most certainly do not. Especially since winter runs wild all over my skin as soon as the temperature dips below 40 degrees! .sigh.

I totally have dry skin in the winter months and combination skin in every other season, which makes finding a healthy balanced glow quite a challenge. It becomes a juggling act of sorts between face wash, lotions & masks. So this special little offer could not have come at a better time for me. You did it again Sephora gods... thank you.

For those smart shoppers who are already a Sephora 'Beauty Insider' all you have to do is spend$25 beans and voilà, 4-Steps to Beautiful Skin Samples for free!
Since my current face wash, Murad 'Clarifying Cleanser' is just too drying for my already flaky skin I've been meaning to buy Philosphoy's renowned 'Purity' facial cleanser which is included in the Normal Skin set; excellent news for me.


As if that weren't enough to make you think about trying a new facial routine Sephora has also deemed January Skin Care Month jam packed with a free in store one-on-one skincare consultation by a friendly beauty pro, suggestions/advice, personalized product recommendations, and the above mentioned skincare samples in your hot little hand!

Just to recap, here are your 4 Steps to Beautiful Skin ala the mother-ship, Sephora
Step 1. Free Consult with a Sephora beauty pro
Step 2. Free Skin Care Samples, based on your skin type
Step 3. Free Hugs to your Sephora beauty pro
Step 4. Race home and implement!
