Monday Must Haves ~ Sephora Favorites Extravagant Eyes

For this week’s Monday Must Haves I’ll be reviewing an awesome little set I picked up during my Black Friday shopping called the Sephora Favorites Collection Extravagant Eyes.  This set is $42 and comes with 8 products, some full-size and others deluxe.  I’ve been playing with these products for the past several days and I have to say that I’m really impressed by the value and quality, so much so that I wanted to share my thoughts.

Let’s take a closer look at the products included in this set…

Huda Beauty Lashes in “Samantha #7” (retail $20) – medium volume, natural style lashes that are stacked up to create length and drama for every eye shape.  These lashes are so popular that they’re out of stock on Sephora’s website (and have been for a while now), so it’s awesome to get them in this set.  I’m not a frequent false-lash wearer, but when I do I want to have some length, volume and drama.  The Samantha lashes seem perfect for that.  Full-size product.

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in “Plum” (retail $29) – a long-lasting, creamy eyeshadow stick that can also line, highlight, and create smoky looks.  I have several of these caviar sticks and they are fabulous!  So creamy and pigmented and they blend nicely before setting for all-day wear.  Plum is a beautiful smokey purple that looks great on its own or as a base for a dramatic eye.  Full-size product.

Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Lash Volumizing Mascara in “Blacquer” (retail $26) – a lash-expanding, ultra volumizing mascara designed to deliver high-drama lashes.  I’ve only worn this a couple of times but so far, so good.  I did not care for their Velvet Noir mascara that I tried previously, but this formula seems different.  It’s very black and adds some volume and length (which is a must!).  Deluxe-size product.
