Here are some items I recommend; some are things I have tried and loved and a few others are new releases that I can't wait to get my hands on:

1. Sephora Supreme Cleansing Oil (reviewed here)- Such a great affordable alternative to the Shu Uemura cleansing oil; this removes makeup like magic!

2. Lancôme Color Design Infinité Eye Shadow (reviewed here)- Beautiful eyeshadow with one of the best formulation I have ever tried!

3. Benefit Big Easy Multi-Balancing Complexion Perfecter (reviewed here)- Expensive but such a great light to medium coverage foundation/BB cream for oily/combo skin.

4. Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Pressed Powder (reviewed here)- One of the best finishing powder I have tried, makes the skin look airbrushed.

5. Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Blush (reviewed here): Such a nice line of cream blushes. Blends beautifully and looks so natural!

6. New Daisy Marc Jacobs Delight Edition Eau de Toilette Spray (reviewed here): This fresh new scent has got you covered for the upcoming warmer weathers. Plus, look at that beautiful bottle!

7. Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette: I have not met an UD palette that I did not want to take home and this one is no different, I swatched it in stores the other day, all the shadows are sooo pigmented!

8. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick (my bad, this one isn't available at Sephora just yet): These look so interesting, can't wait to swatch these in stores!

9. Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette (reviewed here): If you haven't already picked this one up, it's time!

10. Bite Cashmere Lip Cream: I picked up one of these yesterday in the shade "Sancerre", a deep pinkish red. I'll be sure to let you know what I think of it!

11. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in "Beso" (reviewed here): This still stands as my favorite red lipstick, you need it, simple as that.

Will you be picking up anything? Let me know in the comments below!

Stila Color Balm Lipstick in "Sonya": Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: This product was purchased by me.
Happy Sunday everyone, hope y'all are having a relaxing day. The Stila Color Balm Lipstick in "Sonya" is another deluxe sized sample lip product from Sephora Favorites Give Me More Lip Ultimate Sampler, the full sized item comes in a wide range of colors and goes for $29 CAD or $22 USD. The product is touted to have the pigmentation of a lipstick, the moisturizing properties of a lip balm, and the beautiful shine of a lip gloss. From what I can see though, Stila Color Balm Lipstick is simply a variant of the very popular Revlon Lip Butters.
