Review: Sephora Favorites- The Captivator Deluxe Fragrance Sampler

Hey Guys! Today I will be reviewing the Captivator Deluxe Fragrance Sampler by Sephora. Sephora has recently decided to come out with a collection of four deluxe sized perfume samplers, each one  sensual and captivating.

Review:
Dior Addict To Life- intense rose with sparkling lilac, vibrant jasmine, and white musk. Full sized- 1.7 oz ( got renamed to Dior Addict eau Sensuelle).

Viva La Juicy- sparkling wild berries, creamy vanilla caramel, and bright jasmine. Full sized- 1.0 oz
Michael Kors- tuberose, dewy freesia, white wings peony, blue orris, and musk. Full sized- 1.0 oz
Versace Yellow Diamond- heart of nymphaea, freesia, orange blossom, citron, pear, bergamot, neroli, amber wood, palo santo, and musk. Full sized- 1.0 oz


The Good, the Bad, and the Glamorous.

The Good:

Cost
I know what you're thinking $42 just for 4 0.17 oz bottles, but luckily it comes with a voucher that redeems at your local Sephora store (unfortunately not redeemable or for sale in Canada) for the full sized version of any perfume in this set. Which if you do the math is definitely a good deal, after all a full sized bottle can cost over the $42 you paid. But only if you truly like one of the samples.

Variety
If you're like me who gets sick of the same perfume all the time and therefore never finishes a bottle, then this set is a good cure for that due to it's small size and variety.

Travel friendly
Perfect size to drop in your purse to apply through out the day.

The Bad:

Difficult application
All of the perfume samples in this set do not have a spray, they can only be applied by splashing them on. Now the art of splashing perfumes is something I've never mastered and probably never will, if you think about it even using a perfume with a spray applicator is difficult to get the right amount then how can you control the amount by just literally dripping it on? Also it is difficult to uncap the bottle (especially the Dior one) with out perfume accidentally spilling.

What if...
What if you don't like any of the scents? Well then you're out of luck, but remember it is very giftable.
So always go to the store before hand and try the perfumes in this set in person.

The Glamorous:

Packaging
What else can be more cute than mini perfume bottles! They are perfect to display on your vanity.

Review: Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer

Hello Beauties! Today I will be doing a quick review on a concealer that has blown my mind recently. Personally, I believe that every girl should own a really great concealer with the whole package. Great coverage, great pigmentation, a great color selection, in short, the "perfect" product. And while I also believe that such a thing does not exist, the minute I tried out this product, I thought twice about that.

The Good, the Bad, and the Glamorous

The Good:

Money, money, money...

This product was honestly just something I picked up at Walmart when I was looking in the makeup section, and because I knew it was a drugstore product, I sort of didn't look at the price. However after the use of this product, I found out that is only costs $6, which is amazing for such a good quality product!

Great for Fair Skin tones!

I am a person with a very very fair complexion, so it is often difficult to find a concealer and or foundation that is light enough for my skin tone. This concealer comes in three shades: Ultra light, Medium, and Tan. Many times, I have tried out concealers that claim to be "light" and then come off on my skin as more of a tan! I have also tried concealers that come off on my skin light, and then about an hour later turn orange, so of course I am always skeptical of the actual color of the product beforehand. But I can assure you that when I tried this, I fell in love with it! It conceals very well and the ultra light shade is great for those of you girls out there with fair skin like me! It was indeed ultra light when I put it on my skin, and unlike many concealers out there (high end brands included) it stayed that way.

The Bad:

Alas, I did find some flaws with this otherwise flawless product.

The Wear

It will wear off throughout the day. Although the formula is pigmented, and will cover pretty much anything, this did wear off about midday for me even though I set it with translucent powder :(

Not an under-eye concealer

This concealer is amazing for blemishes, and any other discoloration on the face...besides the under-eyes. Yep, I'm sorry but compared to some other concealers, this is a miss for me in this department. I've been using a concealer by MAC for my under-eyes, their "Prolong-wear Concealer", and since I've started using that, nothing compares to it for the under-eyes for me!

The Glamorous:

The Packaging~SO cute

I love love LOVE the packaging and the name of this product. Glamoflauge is by far the CUTEST concealer name ever created :)
