This season Sephora has truly outdone itself with the newest makeup collection. I’ve always respected the brand as an affordable alternative to generously priced competitors, and this year I will be reaching for Sephora products on a daily basis. Colors are rich, pigmented, flattering, and right on trend. The New Pantone Color of the year is Marsala – a rusty wine that will make blue eyes pop, brown eyes warm, and every color in between sparkle. This new neutral is anything but boring! Contour with it, perfect your pout with it, and saturate your lids with it. It is a truly versatile and flattering shade.

A limited-edition, matte lipstick in the Pantone Color of the Year for 2015—Marsala. This is your 90s supermodel nude. It’s creamy, luxurious, and beyond flattering on any skin tone. This shade is one of my favorite lipsticks this season. Long lasting and fresh! Wear it lightly during the day or pile it on for a night out!

A highly pigmented palette that includes 24 sophisticated, gorgeous colors of matte, shimmer, pearl, and glitter finishes that complement the Sephora+Pantone Color of the Year for 2015. The bright, rusty reds and shiny emerald greens are the most beautiful compliments to the neutral brown and beige shades. Everything you could ever want is in this palette. Wet your brush before you use it, and the colors are even bolder and brighter!

SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE Shimmering Marsala Cheek Trio ($28) An exclusive, and very versatile, limited-edition trio featuring two shades of blush and a highlighter. The pinky blush adds a pop of natural flush. The Marsala color is beautiful as a bronzer, contouring shade, or a deep blush. My favorite part? The highlighter. Super pigmented and flattering for all skintones, the pink, shimmery shade is perfect for swiping on cheek and brow bones, as well as down the bridge of the nose. Your skin will simply glow!

An exclusive, limited-edition version of the bestselling Pro brush that makes highlighting and contouring beyond easy. Thanks to the slanted bristle design, it is soft on the face and disperses pigments effortlessly.

What’s even more exciting is Sephora’s new line of affordable, on-the-go luxurious brushes. These are game changers.

A chic retractable foundation brush in a slim and elegant case. All-synthetic, cruelty-free fibers allow for ease of use and cleaning, and work well with most foundation formulas. I especially enjoyed using this product with concealer. It delivered concentrated application on a wider surface than most spot-treament concealer brushes, ideal for highlighting under the eyes and upper-cheekbone area.

The best part about this brush is that it comes in a sleek case so you can bring it around anywhere and avoid getting the brush dirty.

A retractable cheek contour that has aa unique contour shape to reach all corners of the face. Its great for contouring the cheek bones or jaw line and super easy to travel with. The casing looks expensive and they come in the perfect size!

An exclusive, versitile trio featuring a luminizer, matte-satin blush, and bronzer to contour and highlight. The ultra-light, micronized pigments can be used separately or blended together for a healthy, sun kissed glow. I used the combination in Spirited to highlight, blush and contour. Application is easy and pigments are light. This is a great product if you want the “no-makeup”, makeup look. Your skin will be left looking healthy and radiant. For ladies in pursuit of a more made-up look, I would definitely recommend the Marsala Cheek Trio instead.

This lip stain provides beautiful, long-lasting color. It goes on glossy, and dries to a creamy matte finish. Peach Tart is a bright, matte peach color, that looks great on darker skin tones because of the orange undertone.

A Paraben-free makeup removing wipe, that’s already prepackaged in individual pouches for on-the-go use. These wipes feature an exclusive texture and an ultra-effective formula removal of even the toughest eye makeup.
