My Sephora Makeover: Thoughts and a Review!

I was so excited when I received a card that offered me a free 45 minute makeover in my VIB welcome kit! I took advantage of it immediately and made an appointment at my local Sephora within days of receiving it. If you want to get a makeover at Sephora, you have to pay $50 or you must become a VIB and get a free one! ^-^

Before entering Sephora for my makeover, I kept on thinking about questions to ask and things to mention like how to find the perfect skincare routine, what is my skin type, how to draw in my brows better, etc... I actually ended up writing it all down after I sat down at the beauty station! :P

The makeup artist's name was Kelsey and she was so nice! She asked me about what I wanted out of the makeover and I told her that I wanted to learn about skincare so I can create a daily routine for myself. She told me that she would have a skincare specialist talk with me before my makeover so I can get all of my questions answered she then brought me a cup of water! Luckily for me, a skincare specialist named Michelle just came into work and it didn't take long before she came over! 

From left to right: Treatment oil, cleansing oil, moisturizer, and a facial mask.

She began asking me what I do for my skincare routine...I told her that I never had one or even gave it a thought. She was so nice about it! She started telling me about routines, how to look for natural ingredients in products, and how I can find one that works the best for me. After a few minutes of talking, she told me that she would get some products to try on me and she immediately brought over a skincare system called Nude. 

Peter Thomas Roth's FIRMx Peeling Gel

We started with the cleansing oil, and then after washing that off she talked to me about exfoliation and how important it was. She explained the difference between beaded and enzyme exfoliants. She ended up using Peter Thomas Roth's FIRMx Peeling Gel Exfoliant. It was amazing! It literally makes the dead skin on your face to fall right off and my face felt so soft afterwards! After using the exfoliant, we moved onto the Nude Treatment Oil and the Nude Radiant Day Moisturizer and my skin looked and felt amazing!

Next, she mixed Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream and Clarins Day Screen Tint and used a makeup sponge to blend it onto my face. It was odorless, and blended so easily on my skin. 

After this point, Kelsey, the makeup artist, came back and proceeded to ask me about what "look" I was going for. I told her that it didn't really matter, but also that I love Kat Von D's line and requested that she used some of her products. She quickly left and gathered everything that she wanted to use and came back with:

Kat Von D's Saint Palette

Kat Von D Sin-Full Mascara

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Brunette

Kat Von D's Everlasting Bronzer in Shady Business 1

Kat Von D's Everlasting Blush in Por Vida

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Train Bleau

NARS Lipstick in Moulin Rouge (?)

Benefit Cosmetics Fake-Up Concealer in Light 01

She used all of the above products and I was so happy with the result! She was so nice and helpful when I asked all of my questions.

Before and After! (A few hours after...)

Overall, I would give my makeover experience at Sephora a 10/10!!! Kelsey and Michelle were so helpful and nice and make me feel comfortable. Going into this, I had a lot of questions about skincare and they were all answered! I even left the store with Kat Von D's Everlasting Bronzer and Benefit Cosmetics's Fake-Up Concealer!!! ^-^
