Mini Sephora FF Haul

Finally got my Sephora Friends and Family 20% off haul today! Since I'm in Australia, I have to re-route everything through my sister in Texas, so I'm often a bit late to the party when it comes to new stuff.

I got:

Sephora by OPI Brush-on Cuticle Oil
After 23 years of biting, I've finally been able to grow my nails to a length where I can give them a manicure and a polish. Unfortunately, they're suffering from the year of neglect, so I'm hoping this oil is the answer for strong, healthy nails. The brush tip makes this oil super-easy to apply, plus I love it's fruity, summery scent!

YSL Touche Eclat in #1
This much-hyped concealer/illuminator is not going to transform me into a red carpet ready Kate Hudson lookalike, but it's certainly making a difference. I tried this last night on its own and it made me look very well rested (not shimmery - this is important!) and the results were even better over Laura Mercier Secret Concealer this morning. Decadent gold click-top pen with an easy-to-apply brush tip.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
After converting from Urban Decay Primer Potion due to wasteful packaging, I am sold on this squeeze-tube alternative! It goes on much smoother and works well to keep shadow lasting all day long. Loved this so much that I bought two!

As with all Sephora orders, I got some great samples - Frederick Fekkai Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner, Guerlain mascara and Caudalie Creme Contour. My sister also threw in a Vote Obama sticker!
