Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is...Sephora ~ #Review

My Sephora came to my area back in 2004.  It was not until 2011 when I started to take care of myself and have been shopping at Sephora more often.  At first the store may be overwhelming like any place.  The more often I go the more I am comfortable at the store.  Over the years I learned that I could get a sample of the product I am interested and try it at home for a few times before I decide to purchase the item.  Majority of the SA are very helpful and sometimes I get lucky that I get someone who is very knowledgeable.




Sephora has been one of my top places to get my beauty products.  If you are looking for some gift ideas here are two I think you might be interested:

Elizabeth and James NIRVANA White
Give the gift of Elizabeth and James NIRVANA this holiday season with lavish new sets, deluxe sizes, and petite rollerball ornaments featuring the exquisite Elizabeth and James NIRVANA fragrances created by designers Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen. Select from Elizabeth and James NIRVANA White, an alluring floral musk with notes of peony, muguet and musk, or Elizabeth and James NIRVANA Black, a sensual, woody scent with notes of violet, sandalwood and vanilla.

If you know someone who loves to wear perfume, this is a great one.  This set has a cute little rollerball that is perfect on your travels or just to keep in your purse and use it when you need it.  It also contains a perfume spray that looks like a huge lighter.  I was surprise to find a perfume oil in this kit.  I love to wear perfume oil.  If you like sandalwood scent, this perfume is great.  It is a great light scent for this season.


Elizabeth and James NIRVANA Gift Set ($90 / $131 value) Indulge in the captivating scent of Elizabeth and James NIRVANA with this exclusive, limited edition holiday set featuring a 1 oz. (30 mL) Eau de Parfum, a Pure Perfume Oil, and a Mini Rollerball. Available in Elizabeth and James NIRVANA White and Elizabeth and James NIRVANA Black, this luxurious set is the perfect introduction to NIRVANA, or an ideal set for the NIRVANA lover.  The Elizabeth and James NIRVANA fragrance collection was developed by Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen, Batallure Beauty, and KENDO Beauty Brands.


Elizabeth and James NIRVANA Holiday 2015 Collection will be available exclusively at SEPHORA during Holiday 2015. Follow along: #myNIRVANA @sephora @elizandjames

This is a great set. If you have never tried Josie Maran  products.  Check out this set because it has many great deluxe sizes for you at a low price. My personal favorite is the 100% Pure Argan Oil because it could be used on your hands, hair, and face. This oil is great for people with sensitive or oily skin. This is one of my favourite gift sets.

  10. I am not a huge fan of most perfumes, or when people wear certain perfumes, I think I am allergic to them, huge headaches. Elizabeth and James NIRVANA White sounds nice though!
