Desperately Seeking Bookworm

Just sitting here on a rainy day catching up on some blog posts (I seriously need to do this) avoiding packing for my upcoming trip while binge-watching Outlander Season 2. It's Watchathon week on Xfinity and I am taking full advantage on my next 2 days off. I've got 3 book reviews coming up after this and then another post on a special little event that I'm going too. Lot's of good things coming up this month! Until then let's hear about the starting lineup for The Gleam Team! Glamglow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer (Full-size $49): Ahh my monthly moisturizer sample. I wasn't necessarily excited to try this because I knew it was going to look super illuminating. While using this for a week I noticed that my skin was getting extremely red and starting to break out. Then while masking this past Sunday I noticed how sensitive my skin got. My skin doesn't irritate easily, so I'm not 100% sure if it w as this or a primer I've been using...

When I signed up for Sephora Play! I expected this to be my bae, but it really hasn't turned out that way. This box is more like a friend's with benefits, I like it when we're together, but it's not really what I need long-term.  I feel like this box is becoming rather disappointing. There was a repeat item (KVD liner) and even though I didn't receive this previously in a box I can understand how that is frustrating for some long-term customers. In other words Sephora needs to start rethinking how they're going to play this out because I can see us heading down a bad path. Just saying. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel (Full-size $22): I own and currently use this. In fairness I bought a full-size last year during Ulta's Steals & Deals, at half price which is the only price I suggest buying it at. Brow gel does not need to be that expensive, especially a clear one. While it's a nice product, it isn't worth the price. Invest in something else...
