All Things Sephora

Has anyone tried the Nars toner or the Perricone pore minimizing toner? I recently bought the small bottle of the Nars toner and like it. But then I heard about the Perricone toner and now I can't decide. And do I need either of these if I get the FAB radiance pads which I LOVE?!?!

Rhubarb is the only one I have (Came in the GIve me More Lip I think?) and I just love it. The other ones look bright enough to make me nervous.. I will have to try some in store.

Most of them are pretty bold, but they do have a few softer ones. Bouquet is a nice pink with just enough pop to border on bright without actually being really bright, if that makes sense, lol. And Syrah is my HG nude of any nude lip ever. Period. (I'm MAC NC20, for reference)

They still have Blood Orange online.

Sweety is on my list, so please let me know how you like it!

Will have to try Bouquet next. Thanks for the recommendation!

Just managed to grab the HK Kohl Eyeliner set for those stalking it. It doesn't show under HK, but will show on your wishlist.

I ordered it once to have it disappear en route, so finding it during the sale was nice.

For those who have the Hourglass Ambient blushes, what brush do you use to apply it? I'm a blush noob.

I apply with the Sigma stippling brush as I find it very pigmented(Diffused Heat). I also have the Radiant Magenta and usually apply it with the Sigma blush brush.

I'm going to check out Bouquet as well! I'm on the hunt for the perfect pink lipstick.

I'm going to try to get Blood Orange in person today so that I don't have to wait for it to arrive to me, but if that doesn't work out I'm definitely ordering it. I LOVE Sweety! I wore it to the event yesterday, actually. It's such a fun spring/summery shade that's bright but doesn't give you clown lips! I've been wanting a shade in that range for a while now but I hadn't found one that was doing it for me, until now! I really recommend it.

While I'm at it, any thoughts on that too faced chocolate bar palette? I'm not a big fan of too faced and I never paid attention to that thing in store but browsing the site it's caught my attention. I think it's the novelty of it all. I have Naked 1 and 3, but still. Is this thing any good? Anyone know?

I have it and I love it. The shadows are very smooth and pigmented and blend easily. Smells like chocolate when you open it.

Please let me know how you like blood orange. I have it in my cart.

Sage, they had the samples separate from the bag. I'm unsure if sephora is close to you but I'd go back and explain that you didn't get the sephora ziplock bag with the samples. My first purchase didn't ring up with the discount and I was given additional samples for the inconvenience.

I got nothing in my goodie bag at all. Hmph.

I received an email from Ebates that said the Sephora 8% double cash back would end at midnight on 4/1. Just FYI.

No one I spoke to in the store where I went got samples. It's just as well, I guess. I don't need to go back in there anyway. On a positive note: I made it out without buying any more foundation!

Oh I love it! I've already swatched it in store, that location just happened to be sold out of it. It's an awesome pinky red-orange pretty close to NARS Siam matte multiple. I swatched them side by side and there was barely a difference! And I prefer Bite's pencils to the multiples. Much easier to apply to the lips, which is what I would use Siam for if I had gotten it.

Thank you! I'm going to get it then. I likedhow it looked I the girl in the promo pictures.

I had a craptastic haul today. I spent what felt like more than an hour trying to find something. Since my last trip to my local Sephora they've added Bobbi Brown to the store and I just couldn't find much of anything. I thought about some MUFE face products, but I changed my mind. That Too Faced Chocolate palette was completely underwhelming to me in person. Plus, reading the ingredients, at least one of those shadows contain bismuth oxychloride. No thank you. So I came away w/ a MUFE smudge brush (interestingly enough, I don't own a smudge brush), a Deborah Lippmann nail polish remover and the rollerball of Nirvana Black. They didn't have the new UD liners. I didn't see the Electric Palette, but a chatty MUA volunteered the info that it sold out yesterday! I couldn't believe it. It's serious and no, they got a ton and it still sold out. Crazy. Yeah, I'm going to get a couple more things online which is what I knew I would have to do.

thank you for the heads up. I placed an order yesterday but very tempted to make another one. Guess I will have to do it within the next day.

Not sure if this is at all helpful since it's in crappy lighting, but maybe it will work for comparison anyway for those of you considering Bouquet. Sorry I don't do pretty swatches, lol.

L to R
Please Me, Pink Pearl Pop, Creme Cup, Legende (Chanel), Chatterbox, Bouquet

Bouquet is a bit brighter on the lips than it is in this pic, but I feel like how bright it is compared to Chatterbox is pretty accurate in this pic. I can try to do swatches in daylight tomorrow if anyone needs.

Awesome! I am definitely keeping Sweety on my list then

 

[Bcteagirl]

Awesome, thanks for the swatches. This makes me even more interested in Bouquet. That and the name reminds me of Keeping up Appearances. Now I am curious to know what brand of cosmetics she favoured, only the best no doubt

 

[Alysse011]

Thank @ChosenOne! That was very helpful as I was actually wondering how it compared to Creme Cup arty2:
