Oh Kevyn.
It’s a funny thing, how life works sometimes. I attacked my closets this weekend which meant finally deciding what stays vs. what goes to make room for the new. I came across my softcover copy of Kevyn Aucoin’s “Making Faces” and was just about to put a note up on facebook for someone to come grab it since I already have a hardcover edition, when I realized, wait…I have a trip coming up. What perfect reading material to take with me for a refresher. (I am currently in a personal education phase in life right now, but we’ll get more into that later.)
Anyway, I went to Sephora today to grab some random bits before this next round of Dance travel. Of course the YSL blush and Lancome mascara I needed (for myself) were both out, so I grabbed the other things on the list and then did my usual cruise around to see what was what. I picked up Stila’s Yumberry Crush lipstain since everyone was in such a tizzy about it when it came out, and their new liquid liner pen because I am back on that mission again…picked up another YSL Touche Eclat in 2 since mines been dry since forever, got some little puffs with the straps on them so I can lock them around my pinky when I work, some Sephora brush shampoo (first time trying this) and then I turned a corner, lo and behold….Kevyn Aucoin makeup, on sale.
It’s been so long since I’ve been in a Sephora (ducking and covering, but hey, I keep it real and spend a majority of my money at my industry supplier, Nigel’s) that I didn’t even know they carried Kevyn’s line. Of course everything was totally picked over, which I am actually glad for, who knows how much more I would’ve purchased. I did however walk away with 2 eyeshadow palettes, 3 individual shadows, 3 liquid lipsticks, 1 lipliner, and a cream blush. All neutral or red shades. All 75% off.
And instead of holding out for that urban legend of a 20,000 point Beauty Insider prize, I spent 500 of my points and got the Tarte high-performance naturals collection (for free) which I can’t wait to play with.
