Remember this wishlist? I ordered more than half of the items on the list on a whim. Now one probably asks, why on earth would a culinary student like you, need that much makeup? Honestly, I don't know. Anyways, here's the list of things to come reviewed. If you haven't ordered from Sephora before, it's actually really great! Although you don't get to test the products out, the shades are pretty true to their colour on the site. I did order a certain amount to be entitled free standard shipping so it arrived within a week's time. Sephora was even nice to send me an email late last night telling me that the box had reached the Canadian border for checking so I could come back home finding the box in my mailbox. Super happy about their service.

THE List
1) Too Faced Fat Kiss in Fat Jelly - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
2) Too Faced Beauty Balm in Chocolate Bunny - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
3) Hard Candy Glitter Eye Pencil in Midnight - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
4) Smashbox O-GLOW Blush - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
5) Philosophy Lemonade Lip Shine - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
6) stila Smudge Pots Eyeliner in Brown - Official Product Site | Sephora Link

Sephora also offers up to 3 free samples at checkout so I chose:
7) Benefit Eyecon(eye cream) Official Product Site | Sephora Link
8) Escada Sunset Heat Eau de Toilette - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
9) Ralph Lauren Ralph Rocks Eau de Toilette - Official Product Site | Sephora Link
The samples aren't and will not always be the same. They have masks, facial creams, washes and perfume samples offered at checkout.

Please understand that you don't have to get these products at Sephora. I just find that they have a whole range of different brands all on one site. Please keep in mind there is a shipping fee and that there is tax.

I've actually been wanted to order something(s) from Sephora for awhile...but then I blow the budget at L'Occitane. ^^

One thing I find a drag is that although Sephora has four stores in the Toronto area, online orders seem to still be processed through the U.S., therefore are charged duties and whatnot--did you have to pay duty for your package? I hate paying duty...

I was pretty reluctant when ordering from the online store because I was also thinking about the shipping prices, duty and just plain tax at that time. I don't really think they say anything about duty on the site... just only about exchange rates and sales tax. I didn't have to pay any duty when I got the package. I really don't know if it has anything to do with the ""Border Free" method they chose for shipping because the only thing they really do is check and reseal at the border. But I must agree with how they have everything sent from the US when there are Sephora stores in TO. It would save so much time and money! Maybe one day....

By the way, I don't know if I like L'Occitane as much as you do but I do love their shea hand cream. I'm somewhat of a hand cream freak. haha.

Yeah, I love love love their hand cream!! Also, once I tried their face cream (Ultra Moisturizing Daycare SPF15), that was it for me. I've found that I've had far fewer break-outs since using it, so now it's what I use. I'd highly recommend you give it a try. And, no, I don't have stocks in the company...ha ha.

Now that you mention moisturizer.. I am running low on my current one. Was thinking of trying a new brand. I might just try the L'Occitane one! How do you find it? Judging from the name, is it oily as I imagine it to be?

It works well for me...not too oily, but you don't need heaps to do the job (I have combination skin btw). I tried it for the first time at Christmas and I decided it worked well enough to stay with~~before that, I had been using Clinique (various types). If you try it, let me know how you like it after you've been using it for a couple weeks.
