Mid-year makeup haul from Sephora ME

Mid-year makeup haul from Sephora ME

YSL Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, July 29, 2014

A hundred years ago, on this very day, a series of events broke out that touched the lives of people in many, many countries - definitely throughout the British Empire. A moment of silence for those fallen in the Great War, please. My family and I are marking this by visiting two memorials - one here, and one in my Gramps's hometown - with flowers (see photo at the end of the post). On to lighter topics now.

Have you noticed the near-absence of haul posts on this blog recently? Blame Memebox for it. On the other hand, Memeboxes may come and Korean products may go, but Sephora goes on forever. I managed to find time despite a super-hectic schedule - which included football-watching - to pick up a few things from Sephora Dubai, Boots, Al Shop (I know, right), Bloomingdales, Pari Gallery, Karisma and a couple of random stores whose names I don't even remember. Here is what I bought during my trip, except for drugstore products and a couple of items missing in the depths of my suitcases. I tend to be a super-organised packer but disorganised when it comes to unpacking. Some of these are a bit squashed, as a result, but no real damage, thankfully.  You have seen the gifts with purchase and samples I received here, now take a look at the haul itself.

Subscription box Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, July 24, 2013

Meet the Glam Guru Summer Box. Glam Guru is an Israel-based company that offers beauty boxes every month/month-and-a-half or so. You cannot subscribe as such; if you're on their mailing list, they'll let you know when a box is out, and its theme, and you can tell them your preferences (makeup-centric/skincare/all-organic/anything else) and if you want one. Which is good, you won't receive a box you don't want - and please do mention that Renu of My Beauty Junction sent you and we'll both benefit. I had requested a skin/hair-care heavy box and specified what I didn't want. But read on, and your queries shall be answered.
