Sephora Wishlist: Las Vegas

I'm leaving for Las Vegas on Sunday and I am so insanely excited to buy some beauty products! I've been saving my pennies for this trip and I actually haven't bought any beauty products in AGES because I knew I was going on this trip. Everything in the USA is always so much cheaper then in Canada so it is always such an awesome time for me to stock up on new items! I strongly doubt I'll be able to buy all of these products, but if I get a few off my list I'll be happy!

On my Sephora wishlist:

- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

- Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation

- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette

- NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder (or Pressed..haven't decided yet!)

- Tarte Lights, Camera, LASHES Mascara

- Smashbox Photo finish Colour Correcting Adjust Primer (travel size, hoping to help with my rosy cheeks!)

- BeautyBlender with Solid Cleanser (am I the only one in the beauty world who hasn't tried this miracle sponge?!)

After Summer Wishlist

A real beauty lover plans a wishlist 3 months in advance...am I right? I haven't bought any beauty products in so many months due to the fact that I knew I wouldn't be wearing much makeup this summer. I've been going on the Sephora website constantly because I am itching to purchase some new items!

I was so excited to hear about the release of the new bareMinerals Bare Skin Serum Foundation that hit shelves recently and all the amazing reviews that I've watched on YouTube. I'm a huge fan of the bareMinerals Matte Foundation so I knew that I would be wanting to purchase the serum foundation eventually! The fact that it is a serum foundation sounds so hydrating and smoothing. Also an added bonus that it has an SPF of 20!

I've been wanting to buy a new (aka first) brow product for ages now! I've been deciding between using a MAC eyeshadow or splurging for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo...and I think I've made up my mind! What do you suggest? I think at MAC I would use Charcoal Brown and with Anastasia I would use the Medium Brown shade.

I missed out on the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette the first time around and was so gutted that when it was recently released again I know I still have or order it! I'm really trying not to order/buy any makeup until camp is over so I'm basically praying that it is still online in September!

There was no way I could make a wishlist without adding in a Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush...I'm truly obsessed with them! I currently own three which you can find throughout my blog. My friend Alexandra from The A Style  bought the shade Captivating a few months back and she tweeted me a photo of it and I've saved it on my phone since then! It's such a stunning shade and I know I need it!

The Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation was mine for a solid 24 hours before I returned it and seriously regretted it. Since then I've been wanting it back in my life (how dramatic) and when I bought it the first time this past November I was in the shade Cool Beige. The reason I decided to return it was because I purchased the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint later that day and felt like I didn't need two new foundations...but c'mon KYRA! You can never have too many foundations!

I've confessed my love about Marc Jacobs Daisy (the original and Eau So Fresh) several times on my blog. The fresh scent has so many memories attached to it... an entire summer spent with my best friend, as well as memories with my lovely boyfriend who ended up repurchasing a new bottle for me. When I heard about their new summer edition & when I smelt it with my girls Celina and Alexandra it went straight onto my after summer wishlist!

What are you lusting after this summer?

Christmas Wishlist

As you can probably tell from my wishlist, 3/4 items are skincare. I do own a good amount of makeup but skincare is something that I should get a bit better with. With saying that, I am an avid face washer. I can't even imagine going to bed without washing my face! I worked at a camp as a counselor the past four summers and even if I wasn't going to bed until 1:30 or 2:00 am I would make sure to peel myself away from my comfy bed and walk to the nearest sink just to wash my face and brush my teeth. What I mean with "get a bit better with" for skincare, is doing the extra steps. It's a routine for me to use my Origins Zero Oil Deep Pore face wash morning and night then follow up with one of my Olay moisturizers, but something I often skip out on is a mask. Before I begin, I wanted to thank the lovely Victoria for telling me how to create an online photo wishlist!

Here are the items that I have put on my Christmas Wishlist, which are not in any order:

1. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask is a $28.00 mask that I've heard tons of good reviews on. I've heard that it really calms down your skin, reduces the redness in your spots, and clears out any impurities that you may have. Sounds like heaven to me!

2. I've heard a lot about this next product via YouTube. The Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a hard balm that you apply on to dry skin to massage all traces of your makeup away. It can take off face makeup and eye makeup, including mascara! I would love this balm because then I know for sure that all my makeup is off and I'm not going to sleep with traces of foundation on. After using this, you still do go on and wash your face with your usual face wash. This product can be found at Shoppers Drug Mart or Sephora for $35.00. I have heard that it is hard to spot on the shelves as it doesn't come with a box or anything, just comes as is!

3. The only non-beauty/skincare item on my wishlist this year are Mason Jar Candles by Bath and Body Works. There is currently a sale going on for 2 candles for $15.00 which is awesome. The candle photographed isn't necessarily the candle I would like to receive from Santa, but simply just a photograph of the Mason Jar style. I am pretty easy with scents, I love the Cranberry Pear Bellini candle they sell that I still haven't burnt through from last Christmas. I just love the scent I don't want to finish it! I like the Mason Jar style as they are smaller then the 3 wick and I don't burn candles enough to need the larger more pricy ones.

4. The last thing on my Christmas wishlist this year, is another mask by Origins. This one is the Drink Up 10 Minute Mask. This one is also $28.00 from Sephora and I would love this mask because although my skin can get a little shiny though out the day, it could definitely use some extra moisture. I tried to find the overnight mask that Origins sells, but I can't seem to find it on the Sephora website so I wonder if it has been discontinued.

Everything added up PRE tax comes to a total of = $108.00
Not bad Kyra...not bad.


That is all on my Christmas Wishlist this year! What's on yours?
