SEPHORA GRATIS HAUL: FEBRUARY AND MARCH

I feel like I should first start by explaining what I mean when I say this is a Sephora Gratis Haul. The last time I posted a lot of people thought that I'd gone absolutely mental and bought everything I could get my hands on. Alas, 'tis not the case. One of the perks of working at Sephora is that you get given product to try. Everything I'm showing today was given to me by the company. So I've got my loot from February and March and, as always, I'll give you a quick review of everything.

COLOUR CORRECTING: CORRECTING THE BULLSHIT

Colour correcting is the newest, biggest trend in beauty. Sephora is chockablock full of brands launching their version of these innovative products. People are getting really excited about the whole thing. I, on the other hand, am taking the grumpy hipster approach to it all. For one, colour correctors ain't nothing new. They've been around for ages. The only difference is the industry has now taken the whole thing to ridiculous levels. There's a lot of bullshit to wade through on the shelves – a lot of products no human would ever need. So my friends, I'm here to help you navigate that bullshit. Please, come with me on a journey of realistic expectations.

HOW TO ADD LINES TO YOUR BLOG DESIGN: THE CHEAT SHEET

Adding lines to a template changes the flow of the page. It's breaks up each section of information and gives your eye a clear understanding of what's what. Style lines aren't for every design. A more minimalist approach works better for some templates, but if you're like me and you want to play around to see what you can create, I've got a little cheat sheet for you. Below I've listed how to add lines or borders to pretty much every section of your blog possible. Hope it helps, and remember, this is for Blogger, not Wordpress.

CLEANSER REVIEW GALORE

Cleansers are one of the skincare products I like to play around with most. My treatments are usually pretty boring because I'm on prescriptions and I don't want to mess around with them. But cleansers... well that's when I'm like a college girl making out with another collage girl at a frat party while a bunch of dudes watch... experimental. Inappropro? I've had the pleasure of trying out a load of new cleansers in the past few months and I want to give you guys the run down. Come, get experimental with me. Giggity.

THE FOREO LUNA MINI

You know you work at Sephora when this conversation happens.

Me: Man, I wish I had a Luna.
Co-worker: Oh, I have one. You can have it. I don't want it.
Me: What? No, that's crazy.
Co-worker: No really. I don't care.
Me: Okay, well I'm baking you some cookies.
Co-worker: Okay.

WHEN I HATE MY BODY

It's 2:39 in the morning and I can't sleep. I finished an episode of Girls about an hour ago and it brought to the surface some things that I usually manage to keep sitting below. It sounds stupid, I know, it's a TV show, but fuck, when things hit you, they hit you. The show triggered a lot of difficult feelings for me, one of them being my hatred for my body. My body, that's something I don't ever talk about here.
