Sephora Cream Lip Stain

I recently went into a Sephora shop – one of my favourite things to do – because I had run out of red lip stain.

One of the sales girls pointed me in the direction of the Sephora Cream Lip Stains.

They had a number of lovely colours that tempted me, but I had come for red, and so red I would leave with ... ok, plus one more because ... I’m weak! Heehee

I ended up with the shades Always Red and Mandarin Muse.

 

They’re quite bold, but that’s what I love about lip stain; you can wear dark, bright colours without getting it all over your teeth, face and everywhere else!

I really like how they apply; you only need one coat – they’re very opaque. They’re also creamy, as the name would suggest, so they don’t dry out your lips. With a lot of stains, I find I need to use a gloss over top to keep my lips from looking like raisins : )

 

I’m enjoying these two for now, but I will definitely be swinging back into Sephora to try a few more shades before the summer’s out!

Let me know what you think of these or other stains! I’m always in the market for a good lip stain, and would like to know what's working for others.

 

Talk to you soon,

Cleopatra & Colette by Tocca

I am INCREDIBLY picky when it comes to fragrance.

Since I'm so impossibly hard to please, I am forever searching ...

There came a day when I finally found THE ONE - literally. It was Dolce & Gabbana's The One.

I loved it. I had found everything I was looking for in a fragrance. My search was over ... until I found out that the real version of "The One", my husband, couldn't stand the smell!

Noooooo!

So my quest began once more and only this year have I found my new, true fragrance loves!

Or perhaps I should call them my fragrance BFF's ... introducing:

Cleopatra & Colette!

These little babies are from Tocca and were in the line display at Sephora, which I sometimes enjoy even more than the rest of the store, if I'm being honest.

I thought 'hey, the packaging is nice, why not give them a sniff and see'.

I fell in love!

I smelled Cleopatra first. It was perfect: sophisticated, feminine, light and fresh. It made me think of a Parisian spa.

I left it there, finished up with my purchase and went home... as the night went on I couldn't help but wonder 'What was I thinking'? I had finally found my dream fragrance! I had to go back for it.

So I did.

I bought the duo it was sold in, Cleopatra & Colette. I figured I'd just ditch Colette and hold on to my little gem, Cleopatra.

Turns out I hit the jackpot.

Colette is a beautiful fragrance as well! I love it almost as much as Cleopatra.

It's a slightly softer, more romantic and floral scent.

Anyways, I am SO HAPPY with my little perfumes!!

As soon as these little gift sizes run out ~ I will 100% be purchasing the full sizes. Now that I've found my new BFF's ~ I can't live without them!

Hello and Welcome to K-Sullo!

This is a really exciting day for me, as I’ve never before in my life made a blog post!

I’ve decided to create a little space where I can have an outlet for my love of writing and all things feminine... where I can post about different things I’m learning ~ about beauty and about life in general.

I wasn’t entirely sure where to start, so I’ve decided to share the next big thing on my beauty calendar.

I am going for my first ever keratin hair treatment!

There are two kinds that the salon I’m going to offers: one that straightens your hair and one that just conditions.

I like to hold on to the tiny bit of natural wave I have, so I’m going for pure conditioning.

I’ve bounced back and forth between blonde and brunette hair over the years and the last time I went blonde I vowed “NEVER AGAIN”! The bleach ruined my hair so badly and it took me forever to get it healthy again.

Of course “never” came sooner than I thought and I’m back on my way to blonde... typical!

                

Me bouncing over the years from brown ...

                                                       

                      



                                                                                   ... to blonde!



Anyways, this time I’ve decided to take EXTREMELY good care of my hair, so that I can have nice, healthy blonde hair instead of fried, straw-like blonde hair.

Here’s hoping!

I’ll definitely be posting about the keratin experience.

Wish me luck!
