Urban Decay Naked 2

Traveling abroad where there happens to be a Sephora branch, we make sure to stop by the beauty store. There we can spend hours and hours looking at everything like a kid in a candy store.

Sephora is like the National Book Store of cosmetics. It has everything and more in one place, all items waiting to be tried and tested.

So when a friend posted on her Instagram that the website sephora.ph was now up, we immediately logged on. Online orders are said to be delivered in just 10 working days, along with freebies.

Here are eight reasons why we love Sephora:

1) Urban Decay Naked 2 eye shadow

These six taupe-hued matte neutrals are all you will ever need. The texture is one of the best; it’s velvety, blends well, doesn’t bleed and stays all day. You can also go from day to night by just using the darker shades to add dimension.

Bumble and  Bumble Surf Spray

2) Bumble and Bumble styling Surf Spray

A friend gave us a bottle years ago and we’ve been hooked since. We have tried most of the sea salt sprays available and realized the product’s best attributes are fullness, hold and cool matte finish. Other products leave the hair too dry or flat and eventually weigh down the strands.

Slip Silk Pillowcase

3) Slip Silk Pillowcase-King

Did you know that your pillowcase can be bad for your skin? This king-size pillowcase made of the highest-grade mulberry skin will give you the ultimate beauty sleep.

Because a traditional pillowcase doesn’t allow your skin and hair to slip freely, the constant pulling and stretching will eventually take a toll. Slip silk is gentle to your skin, and your hair will just glide across the surface. It protects and hydrates the skin, as well as reduces split ends, and ensures a longer-lasting blowout.

Using a trade-secret production method developed over 10 years, Slip Silk pillowcases provide the ultimate combination of shine, thickness, softness and durability to the hair.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

4) Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Having good foundation is key to making your skin look good. This lightweight foundation will give you a radiant, silky finish that will look natural on your skin.

It is formulated with micro-fil technology that produces a low-density product that pairs high-impact pigments with weightless texture.

Tria Hair Removal Laser

5) Tria Hair Removal Laser

This small instrument reduces unwanted hair on the face and body permanently. Use it in the comfort of your home. It is the only United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)-cleared laser and is less expensive than all hair removal treatments combined.

GHD Air Professional Performance Hairdryer

6) GHD Air Professional Performance Hairdryer

GHD, or Good Hair Day, will give you exactly that. Here’s our personal experience with the product. Having coarse, wavy hair that’s so unmanageable, we end up tying it because our arms get too tired using the blow-dryer.

While at our cousin’s place in New York, where having your hair done is extremely expensive, we had to do our own hair and, luckily, GHD was our cousin’s blow-dryer. The machine gave our hair a smooth, sleek and frizz-free finish.

The GHD Air uses an industrial ionic generator which is placed closer to the nozzle and to the hair, which means you can get the full benefit of the emitted ions to lock in moisture and deliver softer, smoother, shinier results that last longer.

Sephora Collection Skinny Brush Set

7) Sephora Collection Skinny Brush Set

This is the perfect starter brush set, very handy and useful to keep in your traveling bag. It contains a powder, foundation, crease, allover eye shadow and eyeliner brush.

It is also more affordable than most brands; in fact a set can cost as much as one brush of the more popular makeup brands.

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino

8) Tom Ford Neroli Portofino

We love this fresh clear scent which was created by Tom Ford to capture the cool breeze, sparkling clear water and lush foliage of the Italian Riviera.

His reinvention of a classic eau de cologne features crisp citrus oils, surprising floral notes and amber undertones to leave a splashy yet substantive impression.

Its notes consist of Tunisian neroli, Italian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, winter yellow mandarin, orange flower, lavender, rosemary and amber.
