Full-Face Makeover at Sephora Beauty Studio

February 4, 2019

We all need a little R&R, and while the spa might seem like an obvious go-to, beauty makeovers are actually extremely relaxing. As a super thoughtful gift from one of my girlfriends, we had a glam girls day with Makeup Deluxe: Full-Face Makeovers at the Sephora Beauty Studio at Lincoln Park’s Sephora location. Each with our own chair and designated Beauty Advisor, we told what makeup looks we liked and what type of look we were going for. Brunch was on the agenda afterward, so we wanted fun day-time looks.

Per usual, my go-to besides neutrals is the color pink when it comes to makeup. Due to wearing my favorite dusty rose fuzzy sweater, I decided to go with a matching look. Using a variety of products handpicked throughout the Sephora store by our Beauty Advisors, our 60-minute full-face makeovers began. Nikki, my Beauty Advisor, narrated every item being added to my face, explaining what brand it was and the purpose for it’s use. This was very helpful as some of the items I had never used or seen before!

While it was great that my Beauty Advisor went through every item as it was being applied, it was of course a lot of items to remember. Luckily, all items used are scanned, including shades, and sent to your email post-session so you have a list of everything used to create your look. This was my favorite thing about the booking! So helpful. I was very thankful to have an easy clickable list to view later on. My favorite items used were Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara, Huda Beauty The New Nude Eyeshadow Palette, IT Cosmetics 3-in-1 Micellar Cleanser, and IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Eye Cream.

All the items used for this look are linked them below!

I absolutely loved getting a full-face makeover and can’t believe I hadn’t tried it out sooner! I discovered new beauty products and was able to try them on first hand for a test run. It’s the perfect relaxing, and fun, girls day activity or a great way to get your makeup done before a night out. If you want more of a quick fix, rather than a 60-minute full-face makeover, Sephora also offers 20 minute bookings for lips, eyes, eyebrows, and more. Highly recommend trying it out!

Almay Fall Makeup Look

November 5, 2018

Almay Fall Makeup Look

The leaves are turning gorgeous colors, the air is crisp, and PSL is back in season, baby. Featuring sultry reds, cozy bronzes and the perfect amount of shimmer, this Almay Fall makeup look using Almay Goddess Gloss matches Autumn to a T. What I loved most about this look is how I saw my grey-green eyes pop from the mix of warm tones. Try it for yourself! Read below for what makes up this seasonal makeup look.

This post is sponsored by Almay and Her Campus Media. All words and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Sweating Champagne possible!

Almay Goddess Gloss™ from the Almay Cosmic Collection is a high-shine, holographic lip gloss that gives extra sparkle with added moisture. I used shade ‘Flame’ for for my Almay Fall makeup look. Fitting, right? This iridescent lip gloss is made with pomegranate, grape, and raspberry oils, yet remains fragrance free. No stickiness left behind! I loved the vibrant red this shade of lip gloss gave. Perfect for the fiery Autumn makeup look I wanted!

I used colors from Almay Palette Pops™ ‘Fabulista’ and ‘Naturalista’ for my eyeshadow. The ‘Fabulista’ has a beautiful burgundy shade, while ‘Naturalista’ contains all the necessary neutrals for browns, bronze, and whites for a buildable natural look. I used the burgundy as my main color, framing the eyes with the other neutrals and using Almay Multi-Benefit Mascara™ to top it off. For some extra illumination, add Almay Make Them Jelly Hi-Lite in ‘Unicorn Light’! The combination of colors, with just a touch of glam, reminded me of a stroll through Central Park in Autumn (one of my happy places). What makeup color combination reminds you of a perfect Fall day?

#Ad I will admit that my dimensional look needs some work as I have only recently began to experiment with different makeup looks and techniques. Luckily I can work at it this season with these Almay go-tos! What events will you be rocking this Almay Fall makeup look at? Comment below! #AlmayReveal #CollegeFashionWeek #InfluenceHerCollective
