Sephora

Sephora is a visionary beauty-retail concept founded in France by Dominique Mandonnaud in 1970. Sephora's unique, open-sell environment features an ever-increasing amount of classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, color, fragrance, body, smilecare, and haircare, in addition to Sephora's own private label.

Today, Sephora is not only the leading chain of perfume and cosmetics stores in France, but also a powerful beauty presence in countries around the world.

To build the most knowledgeable and professional team of product consultants in the beauty industry, Sephora developed "Science of Sephora." This program ensures that our team is skilled to identify skin types, have knowledge of skin physiology, the history of makeup, application techniques, the science of creating fragrances, and most importantly, how to interact with Sephora's diverse clientele.

Owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's leading luxury goods group, Sephora is highly regarded as a beauty trailblazer, thanks to its unparalleled assortment of prestige products, unbiased service from experts, interactive shopping environment, and innovation.

ITEM 2015683

A protective infrared hair dryer that moisturizes, smooths, and decreases dry time while increasing shine and softness on all hair types.

Dries quickly on the go

Ionic interior prevents frizz and strengthens hair

Infared heat moisturizes and protects

Infrared heat moisturizes and protects while you blow-dry. Infrared light gently penetrates your hair, drawing out the oils inside the hair shaft to sit on the surface, thus helping to maximize shine, decrease drying time, lock in moisture, and reduce damage. The 100 percent ceramic interior surface produces negative ions when heated. These ions attach to undesirable particles in your hair, cleaning the strands and reducing frizz and static while you style. Negative ions also break apart water molecules quickly which reduces drying time. This ultra-quiet and lightweight dryer comes with a 10-foot cord.

ITEM 2015709

A professional infrared curling iron that provides instant shine, softness, and lasting curls to all hair types.

Creates lasting curls and waves

Adds shine and strengthens hair

Fights frizz

Using revolutionary infrared technology, this curler’s 1.25-inch barrel deeply yet gently penetrates hair to protect and moisturize while creating lasting curls and waves. Hair is heated gently from the inside out, drawing moisture from deep inside the cortex of the hair and creating shine from root to tip. Shine, humidity resistance, and softness last until the next time you shampoo. Say goodbye to dry, frizzy hair for good.





ITEM 2142420

A custom-created pressed powder palette that contains five highlighting shades and one matte bronzing shade. 

This palette represents beauty and lifestyle Influencer Olivia Jade's first ever makeup collaboration. The silky, soft formula comes in six universal shades that allow any skin tone to achieve Olivia’s effortless, natural bronze glow. Each blends seamlessly into the skin and adds radiance where the light naturally hits, illuminating the face, shoulders, or décolleté. The stunning array of hues enhance every skin tone and can be mixed and matched to customize your ideal Olivia Jade glow.

ITEM 1675073

A line of gel lip glosses for a plumped-up, light-reflecting shine.

Inspired by gel nail polishes, Ultra Shine Lip Gels feature a light texture that transforms lips with plumped-up shine and moisture.

ITEM 2122166

A rose quartz roller that supports lymphatic drainage to reduce the appearance of puffiness, and wrinkles.

This roller has a large and small stone for easy, effortless movements all over the face. It supports blood circulation, gives skin a more elastic feel, a more toned look, and the appearance of reduced pores. The tool includes a duster bag for storage and travel.

Rose Quartz is a powerful crystal that can conjure a feeling of unconditional love and infinite peace. This 'emotional soother', can be used to help reduce stress and calm the feek of skin.

But with Olay Eyes Brightening Eye Cream, your eyes will hide your secrets. This eye cream hydrates directly under the eye area to help visibly reduce dark circles, wrinkles and smooth fine lines to give you that well-rested, youthful look. Also, you might not realize, but the area around your eyes is thinner and more delicate, making it the first area on your face to show signs of fatigue and stress. That’s why this formula is enriched with vitamins and a light-reflecting complex to not just help reduce under-eye problems, but also brighten your look.


Olay Total Effects Fragrance-Free Whip delivers ultimate nourishment without the weight or fragrance. This breakthrough facial moisturizer and under makeup primer transforms from cream to liquid on contact for fast absorption and a breathable feel. You’ll feel skin that’s smooth, matte and shine-free. Formulated with vitamins C and E, this SPF 25 moisturizer delivers 7 benefits in 1: actively replenishes nourishing moisture, evens skin tone appearance, enhances brightness, visibly smooths fine lines, minimizes the look of pores, restores firmness and visibly reduces dark spots. Its innovative Active Rush Technology features a unique three-dimensional structure that transforms from cream to liquid on skin to deliver potent ingredients in an ultra-lightweight form. Forget about that sticky or greasy feeling—have it all with Total Effects Whip for powerful skincare with a light as air finish.

Why Cats Want and Need their Own Space and How the Armarkat Classic Cat Tree A4801 can Help!

Disclosure: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned below for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. The opinions I have expressed are my own. This post may also contain affiliate links.


We have three cats in my house and while they're all quite different I can say with certainty that they love having their own space. This is why my cat's have a space all their own. While it my not be a room specifically for them, it's definitely theirs. Our laundry room is quite large so it was the perfect space to set up as their space. In it you will find their food, water, litter boxes, toys, and cat tree (pictured above). It's their sanctuary where they can go when they need a little peace and quite. 

With four kids in my house, the cats can get overwhelmed at times so when then the cats are in the laundry room it's their safe space. My kids have to leave them alone and give them space. Don't get me wrong, our cats love my kids. In fact our large black cat Bella is my daughter's best friend and rarely leaves her side. She even sleeps with her at night but still at times, needs her space. We also have a calico cat that we rescued from the Humane Society awhile back who is very shy and doesn't really like a lot of attention but loves to be petted. She utilizes the cat room quite a bit and one of her favorite spots is in the cubby of the cat tree. We then have a kitten who is about 9 months who loves to be everywhere but her favorite spot is playing with the cat toys in the cat room or chasing my three year old around while he pulls a string.

Cats can be very social at times but they like to be able to choose when they're social and when they don't have to be. I know many of my kid's friends want to play with our cats but they know the rule in our house is if the cat doesn't come out to see you when you call it or bring out a toy then we need to give them their space. Often time when visitors come my cats, like many cats prefer to keep their distance. Sometimes when the doorbell rings my cats will head for their safe space because that's where they feel comfortable. Often times they head for the highest perch on the cat tree. Yes, sometimes I find all three on the cats on the same perch. This provides a visual advantage to see better and have an elevated, out of reach area away from small children or vacuums and such. 

My cats absolutely love their Armarkat Classic Cat Tree A4801 because it allows them a comfortable place to rest, play and hide. The Armarkat Classic Cat Tree A4801 was extremely easy to put together, in fact my ten year old and I had it assembled in less than ten minutes. It's extremely well made and our three cats absolutely love it!
