Beauty Routine!

Lately, I have read about some other bloggers' beauty routines and I totally want to share mine!

Hair
I wash my hair everyday and it sometimes gets dry and that brand is great for my hair! It's a smooth shampoo for colored hair!  
L'Oréal EverPure Color Care System Smooth Shampoo
Alcove Smoothing Lotion
After blowdrying, I use a smoothing lotion and the flat iron (when I have to leave the house, I don't do it everyday!). I use that thermal hair spray to protect my hair from the heat:

Rusk Thermal Shine Spray
To keep my hair straight all-day long, that product is a must-have that I have been using for years:

Bed-Head After-Party Smoothing Cream
Face
I wash my face in the morning with Spectro-Jel:


My favorite brand of skin cream is definitely Vichy:

Vichy Aqualia Thermal for dry skin
Aqualia Thermal Mat Anti-Shine Effect
Make-Up
The following products are the ones I use almost everyday. I really love Sephora products but those can be expensive! (And I don't live anymore in a city where there is a Sephora store! :( Too bad!) But I swear by Maybelline for mascara, this is the best and I'm never disappointed!
Sephora Mineral foundation
(Color: D30-Sand)
Nars Blush (Color: Orgasm)




Mascara Maybelline Falsies
(Color: Intense Black)

Maybelline Eyeshadow Trio
(Color: 35T-Almond Satin)






Sephora Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss 
(Color: Glitter Beige 33)


Nails
I do my nails by myself because I like to switch color (like 2 times/week!)!
Those 3 nails polishes are my favorite for Fall:
Essie Nail Polish (Color: Fancy Delancey)
L'Oréal Paris Nail Polish (Color: Mauvie Star)

Essie Nail Polish (Color: Plumberry)
Voilà my beauty routine!
What is yours? 
Do you have any favorite products or a favorite brand?

Sephora: Je t'aime!

Sephora opened a store in my city about 2 years ago. I knew Sephora by name, but I had never try on their products. After trying some make-up, I felt in love with Sephora products! Sephora is like candyland for me! So, when I go in, I want to buy everything!!! (Not good for my wallet!)

Some of my favorite products:

1- Mineral Foundation Compact (D30 warm beige)
 It really covers the imperfections and it looks very natural! There is a lot of colors for different skin tones.

2- Correcting Smoothing Primer

You put this primer before the foundation to smooth your skin and the green color helps to cover redness!
I love it, because sometimes I got some redness I want to cover!

3- Ultra-Shine Lip Gloss (Silver Raspberry 07 - not the one in the picture)
It makes great lips! I just want to eat it because it tastes good on your lips!

4- Professional Mineral Powder Brush #45
This 26$ brush is a good investment! This brush is great, I really can see a difference between this and another one at 10$! The mineral foundation is easier to put on with that and the result is more natural.


Shopping at Sephora can be expensive, I know that! (Trust me!) But I think their products worth it. However, I don't exclusively shop at Sephora, I go to drugstores or Wal-Mart also! (I use a 8$ Rimmel Mascara and I'm really happy with it!) The important thing is to find the products that you like the most and that work for you!

Where do you shop when you need make-up or beauty products?
Do you think the prices of Sephora products worth it?
