Sephora Haul

I had decided to shop online at Sephora.com and pick up some value kits that I found of interest and stumbled upon these..
.

.
Josie Maran Nourishing Argan Matchmake Complexion ($64):
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this set. It is well worth the price!! The argan oil works wonders on my acne scars and makes my skin feel so dewy and healthy, also the oil does not cause any breakouts :), and the oil itself is the full size!! The foundation is phenomenal, as well as the illuminater, which works really well for highlighting the bridge of your nose and works as a very natural eyeshadow!

Tarte Awaken Your Complexion in Light ($32):

I have yet to use the oil, but the concealer is wonderful. It matches my skin perfectly and covers my acne scars very well. The translucent powder also complements the concealer, but I wish the powder came in a bigger container :(. The concealer brush is very soft and works well without irritating my skin.

A plus to the Tarte cosmetics.. ANIMAL CRUELTY FREE.

And the wonderful samples received from Sephora. Thanks :D


Side Notes:
Unfortunately, I believe the Josie Maran Value Set is no longer avaliable, but there is a new value set that has been put up on their website as well.

Black Michael Kors Large SELMA Satchel

   
This is the Black Michael Kors LARGE SELMA Satchel that I will be reviewing today. I had purchased this satchel about 2-3 weeks ago and is still avaliable at all MK stores. This bag runs for $358.00 USD, and was a little under $400 with tax.


This is what the bag looks like with the zipper closed. 


  
This is the satchel with the zipper compartment open. It's a pretty decent sized bag, and can carry a magazine without it being crinkled up inside. Great for college students and women who tend to carry an abundant amount of junk in their bag.



The back of the bag. This bag contains all gold hardware



The bottom feets of the MK bag. It has Michael Kors written on the feetsies. Very classy and elegant. It also helps protect the bottom of the bag from damage.


I'm 4'11 and this is what the bag looks like on me. It's not overwhelmingly big and the straps are the perfect size for those who are short like me.

My overall thoughts on this bag is, its a must and I've been lusting over the Prada Saffiano tote but it's obviously way out of my budget, I find that this bag is a great alternative to those who can afford it. The bag is chic and classy and comes in a wide variety of colors. Perfect to dress up an outfit or keep it casual, this bag is very versatile. The leather seems very durable and strong, not flimsy. I would rate this bag a 9 out of 10, only because the con of this bag is, especially since it's black I have to be careful that I don't get white marks on this bag. Hope this was helpful :)
