This month's Sephora Play Box included some everyday essentials - a lipstick, brow gel, eyeliner, facial moisturizer, hair mask and perfume. The brands they included this month were on point! That's one thing I love about the Sephora Play boxes, the consistency of great quality brands and products!

There's something about warm-toned eyeshadows that makes me so happy. I love every single gold, bronze, brown eyeshadow whether it's a matte or shimmer. Somehow I can convince myself that I need to buy every single one I see. (They're all different I swear!!) You can pretty much call me the Queen hoarder of warm-toned eyeshadows. I have blue eyes so I've always worn these types of shades to bright out my eyes. I highly recommend trying some of these shades if you're looking to bring out your eyes and warm up your face. I posted this photo above on Instagram back in January and it was a surprising hit (see original Instagram post here). So, I decided to post swatches of them now. Bc who doesn't love swatches?!

This was on my September wish list (view here) but when I found out they were only available on September 6-8 for VIB/VIB Rouge members at Sephora and wouldn't be available again until October 1st, I caved and ended up buying the shade Bound. I only have $100 left to spend to re-qualify for VIB Rouge for next year so I've been trying to stretch it out for all the holiday limited editions and sales but couldn't help myself. I'm so happy I purchased Bound though! I was looking for a hybrid of a lipgloss and lipstick and think I found my perfect match..

There are so many new makeup and skincare releases lately that really have caught my eye. My bank account is really going to hate me this month, but I can't help myself!
