An Unexpected SQUEE!: Sephora Premium Brushes

April 9, 2012 By Lena

You know that awesome feeling of finding a $20 bill in the pocket of an old jacket? Kind of like how I felt this past Saturday morning.

We were attending my dear friend’s wedding, and as much as I love my kids, I don’t love them as wedding attendees. (You know – Sit! Be quiet! Don’t take off your vest! etc, etc). And since my husband and I were due for a night out together – especially one that comes with an open bar – I thought it best to have grandma watch over the young’uns for the night. (Ryder had ring boy duties, but we hastily got rid of him once his role was fulfilled.)

So, Saturday morning.

I was rooting around in Ryder’s closet, trying to uncover some old toys that could be made new again through the magic of elapsed time. Way at the back, I saw a box… and when I pulled it out, I was amazed to see a brand new, unopened Sephora Collector’s Edition Premium Brush Set. The little rascal must have confiscated it without my knowledge – GRRR!

Now the product is no longer available for purchase, as it was Holiday 2011 special edition. I must have received it as a review item, but as any beauty blogger will tell you, we receive a LOT of make-up, and sometimes products slip away unnoticed. Still, many thanks to Sephora who obviously knew I desperately needed new brushes!

And just why was I thanking my lucky stars? Well, I had a wedding to attend that evening. As in, I had to apply weddingy-type makeup, which normally includes a soft, smoky eye. Now, with the right brushes for the job, I was suddenly energized and excited!

You like? I think I did pretty well – but, it helps that I had amazing tools!

Check out all of Sephora’s brush sets on Sephora.com.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming…

      Me too! I don’t normally need brushes, except for a blush brush, but I’m kind of eyeing them too. Let me know if you try them out!

    I have a Sephora brush set too and the quality is really great. It definitely makes application easier to have good tools!
