A couple of weeks ago when I did my anniversary shopping, I also stopped in Sephora for a little impromptu shopping spree. I'd say more often than not, I DON'T make impulse makeup purchases. I like to look up things, research them, see what's being said on YouTube and the blogs - stuff like that. But sometimes you just can't help yourself, right? Right. Here's what I walked away with:
DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum
What it is:
Dior's first lash primer that combs, curls, and coats each lash to create a smooth, even mascara base, while acting as a nourishing serum treatment that promotes long-term lash growth, strength, and vitality.
What it does:
The newest addition to the family of legendary Diorshow Mascaras, Diorshow Maximizer Lash Primer Serum instantly primes, plumps, and lengthens lashes with an ultra-light and quick-drying formula. The first "active serum" mascara primer also contains a unique cell-conditioning complex made up of hydrolyzed soy proteins that promote long-term lash growth, strength, and vitality.
What else you need to know:
"Diorshow Maximizer is this season's most innovative, must-have product. Apply as a primer serum base under mascara for intensely curled, thickened, and lengthened lashes and also on its own as a deep conditioner for lashes at night." -Sephora Pro Beauty Team Member, Nathalie Bechard
Research Results:
The Dior Innovation Center has tested Diorshow Maximizer for efficiency and found amazing results after only 8 weeks use: + 52% Volume, +38% Length, + 73% Curl
Studies also showed that lashes were more resilient, protected, and revitalized.

I use the Buxom Lip Balm. Maybe I am just a super white girl but it's not as sheer as I'd hoped; although I still wear it because the color goes look nice. Maybe it's just my idea of sheer is off kilter.

Good stuff Katie! I love that you do more beauty posts than I do! LOL! I think sometimes I steer away from beauty because it's what I do all day long. :) Let me know what you think of the lash plumping serum.

i don't have any of these, but i do have nars lipsticks which i love (they are very moisturizing for lipstick) and ysl lipgloss which i also LOVE. i highly recommend both. so is the nars gloss sticky? i don't like my glosses too sticky as my lips tend to get kind of chapped sometimes and then that leads to chunky gloss.... but i love all the colors.
I don't have your exact shade, but YSL cosmetics always exceed my expectations and are worth the price!
The Dior mascara looks good. And the Nars blusher too
I absolutely love dior mascara, it really is the best mascara out there!
great reviews!
thankyou for the comment on my blog :)
XOXO, BECCA
