I went to Sephora today, and was surprised by a few things. First off, the Sephora I went to is in a JC Penny’s, at the WireGrass mall. Second, the staff was very nice, not pushy, not condescending, and not rude. Sometimes in the past when I’ve gone to Sephora, they’ve been a bit snotty. This was not the case for me today. They were genuinely nice and helpful. Yay! Second, the ladies who helped me told me that they were having a Friends & Family sale, so everything was 20% off. Additionally I had my VIP coupon for $15 off if I purchased $35 or more in product. So I ended up spending $29 after the 20% off & $15 off. Really not bad at all!

I asked for help in matching my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and we ended up trying what I thought we would try (since I’d perused Sephora’s website last night) Lorac’s Auburn eyebrow pencil. The Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil comes in Blonde (taupe), Brunette (medium brown), Dark Brown (deep brown) and Auburn (reddish brown). I tried the browns and they looked too ashy on me. I tried Auburn, and it seemed to look the best.

Yes, I need to get my eyebrows waxed soon. And it’s almost time to get my underarms waxed as well. Hopefully, I’ll be brave and go for a brazilian too!

I also picked up Anastasia’s classic stencil kit.

It comes with 5 stencils:
Petite Arch- Recommended for small facial features.
Slim High Arch- Recommended for brows in training, growth challenged, thin or sparse brows.
Medium Arch- Recommended for brows with a softer arch that naturally creates less space between the bottom of the brow and the top of the eye.
High Arch- Recommended for brows with a higher arch that naturally creates more space between the bottom of the brow and the top of the eye.
Full Arch – Recommended for the fullest shape and larger facial features.

My brows are so petite that even the Petite Arch is a bit big, I think. But I’ll try playing with it more. I used it as a bit of a guide with my Lorac Auburn in the picture above. The nice thing about these stencils are that they do mold themselves around you to fit to your arch.

I also snagged a Sephora #15 brush.

I went by Sally’s Beauty Supply and picked up some things from there as well. I always have hair dye and developer stockpiled at my house, I swear.

I picked up an eye lash separator and brow brush. I’ve been looking for one for a while that has the metal teeth to separate lashes and keep them from clumping. I just find that my plastic ones don’t work so well.

I picked up 2 containers of Manic Panic Purple Haze and 1 of Hot Hot Pink. I also picked up some 40 developer (I have 10, 20, and 30 at home), and a box of Splat Pink Fetish. I already have a Beyond the Zone Bleach kit here.

I’d really like to work up the courage to strip the turqouise out of my hair and replace it with pink, but we’ll see if I can do that myself or not. My purple really needs to be touched up, but every time I go to Ulta, they’re  out of Punky Plum.

I grabbed all three shades from Orly’s Metal Chic Metallic Matte collection.
Iron Butterfly, Glam Rock, and Solid Gold.

Ray really likes how Iron Butterfly looks. Surprisingly I’m very much pulled towards Glam Rock.
