Summer Bucket List 2015: Go to a Sephora Beauty Class

Last weekend, I attended my first beauty class at Sephora. It was contouring and highlighting class. I have been contouring and highlighting for two years but I wanted a little more reassurance that I was doing it correctly. I also wanted the makeup artists to recommend products for my skin tone. The class was really great! I really enjoyed it. It was definitely a beginners class as most of the girls taking the class had never contoured. But I got to try out some new products for my face that I really liked. I now have a running list of makeup products to try. I wanted a contour color that wouldn’t look muddy or orange against my fair skin. I was given the Marc Jacobs #Instamarc Light Filtering Contour Powder in Dream Filter #20. I loved it. It is a buildable contour and highlight palette so I can use it for everyday wear or a dramatic night look. I was hesitant because I knew Marc Jacobs is a little bit pricey. The duo palette was $49. If it was cheaper I would have bought the Nars concealer in Chantilly as well that I really loved but I just purchased the contour/highlight duo for now. Definitely a great buy and a great class!

Marc Jacobs Polish Review


Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer in Madame.


 I got this nail polish in a gift set from Sephora for Christmas. First of all, I am not a 'splurge on your nail polish' kind of girl. I am perfectly content picking up one of the 99 cent baby polishes from Sally's Beauty Supply. But periodically I will break down and buy an Essie or OPI. I finally get what all the hype is about. From the application, the color, and the lasting power of this polish, I have been blown away. I love the way it looks so effortlessly chic and classic. I couldn't be more thrilled! Yes, it is pricey, but it is definitely worth it. I have had two coats of on for two weeks with little to no chipping. Most of my polishes are cracked and rough looking at two weeks. I work a lot with my hands so I know that if a polish can survive two weeks- it's a keeper. So if you are in the market to buy a new 'nude', check out the Marc Jacobs line.
