All Things Sephora

Here ya go. In the last pic, I included the full size Genius eye cream jar & a Mac es for size comparison.

I think that if you bought these samples from Algenist, they might be around $22 & up each.

Here is Kiss Kiss on my skin tone. I wear Nars New Orleans as a reference. Mac NW43-45 and 7.5. The other night I had to wear a lip liner with it today and found it to be creamy but thick. But today I didn't have to wear a lipliner and it wasn't thick at all. I personally like it and it was worth the points for me. And I'm saying that as a point hog. I would say the color in the picture on my computer screen reads pretty true. Hand is natural light and the lips are artificial light.

Just an FYI for anyone who doesn't know, Retinol, is not recommended for use on younger people's skin. It can wreck your skin if you don't use it correctly or in the right dosage so please be careful with it.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't tried that but even still it didn't work with that method. I just gonna stick with the MUFE spray and give up on primers for now. I thought the same thing and then I compared them (I'm crazy like that). Pics for reference I've used the MUFE one quite a bit because I really like it. I'm actually going to buy the full size once my mini is done. I haven't tried the De-slick although I did try the All Nighter. That worked for a while and then stopped working. Or my skin got more oily. I think the benefit of more shades in a palette is that you can use them on your eyes as transition shades. I haven't seen any of the powders in person so I wouldn't know about the colors being warm. I'm peeved because I really want to try it. LOL I look at it the same way! But I've become more lax now because I'm never going to get a sample worth $100 ever from Sephora. I just make sure that the cost is worthwhile for me. Like I'm not a mascara girl so to try new ones I'll use points if the product looks interesting or luxury. Or I'll get minis of things I love to use. Like I've already picked up two of the 100pt Beauty Blender Solids because I love that cleanser and I hate buying it lol. I wish they sold refills instead of having to get one with a new container every time. I feel like it's a waster. Also I've always wanted to try Philosophy products but didn't want to spend the money so I got those deluxe samples. I like the eye cream and the moisturizer so I might pick those up full size. They can keep that overpriced cleanser though. It's not special. I like like my Rose Cleanser from Fresh better.  Order online like me. If you have no idea what to get I can say the Formula X polishes are on sale right now and I just bought like 7! They rock. I just wanna say they are totally worth my $6 (not $12 though). Colors are going in and out of stock so pick them up while you can. The electrics are a must and the blue confetti topcoat in TNT is crazy bright and pretty. It's my favorite out of all of the nail polishes I own and I just got it! The swatches on the Beauty Board are dead on in my opinion. Now I'm gonna buy the rest of the top coats on sale when I get paid. :2cents:  I must say that Sephora is playing games with their wrapping. I purchased two separate orders with nail polish and NOT ONE nail polish was wrapped or cushioned. The black overcap on one was cracked but luckily everything stayed in tact. I think that is inexcusable. I want to email a complaint but I know people say all the time they don't wrap nail polish well so what's my extra letter going to do? Anyway the Formula X color range is great and the nail polish dries faster than anything else I've ever used but IT STINKS SO BAD! I'm not one of those people who are super sensitive to nail polish because of course nail polish smells bad but this ish is strong and wrong   I opened it and recoiled. Ew. I think the smell is pungent. Just an FYI for anyone who doesn't know, Retinol, is not recommended for use on younger people's skin. It can wreck your skin if you don't use it correctly or in the right dosage so please be careful with it. 

What about collagen? I'm looking at a collagen serum.

You rock I ordered it this morning. Went to my Sephora in JCP this afternoon and the sales associates were annoying as always. They just watch me walk around the store like I am stealing or something. I hate going to the store. I swatched the tartelette palette and have to say I wasn't impressed.

I really hope you end up loving them. I have the Genius eye cream, but after using some sample packets of the Eye Balm, I prefer it instead of the cream. For me, it made the skin look hydrated & fresh plus I saw a noticeable very good change/appearance in the dark circles/ pigmentation.

My Sephora was it's usual. No one to help, products were out of stock, and EVERYTHING was gooey & sticky

I just do not enjoy shopping in Sephoras. Plus, the stores themselves are so congested that it makes me feel claustrophobic.

I thought the same thing and then I compared them (I'm crazy like that). Pics for reference I've used the MUFE one quite a bit because I really like it. I'm actually going to buy the full size once my mini is done.

I compared just the bullet sizes. The MUFE is .05 and the MJ is .03. I've already come to grips that I spent $100 at Sephora for a .03 lipstick. I'm good now.

Usually when I spend $100 at places like Beauty.com I get a bag with quite a few deluxe samples . I think that's why I was shocked at the size.

 

[MsGlossy]

Oh, and I am a nail polish addict.I bought quite a few Formula X polishes. They also have $1 Sephora Collection minis, in case you haven't seen those...you probably have.

I got one of the MJ perks online but wanted to wait and see if I liked it before getting a 2nd one. I did place an order this morning so I could redeem 250 points for Chloe Love Story, because I just had to have it...it smells soooo good. Definitely going to get the full-size during the sale. I'm a fragrance addict too.

 

[MsGlossy]

Yes, It is a very generous sample size! Its a great eye cream.

Retinol Firming & lifting Serum
Renewal Eye Balm
Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging cream

Great products & A great value. Its worth it just for that amazing eye balm

Do you have a SiJCP? They have the customized set where you can choose 5 samples. The Algenist Eye Cream is an option (0.23 size). I got 3 because they were all out of the PTR serum that I wanted. The sets are discounted to just $20 now (used to be $29).

No, sadly there is no Sephora close to me. That would've been nice too.

Kat Von D Lolita was back in stock but it is already gone.. I was able to order it but just came here to tell you guys-- and checked again.. and it is OOS again.. I was so quick that I forgot to use a REBATE link..errr.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Sephora brand lipliner in Mauve - is a really nice product.. If you are looking for that pretty rosy/brown/mauve 90s color that is so popular now. It reminds me of a lighter version of Macs Whirl.

Yes, it was a pretty good value. It's basically half of the regular size which goes for $72 for .5oz! I've never seen such a good value in a deluxe size sample before. I got a second set and I stocked up on the .5oz GlamGlows that are $19 a piece. I love SiJCP. They always give me the best samples too...pre-packaged samples.

Glad you were able to snag the 500 point perk. I think that perk is a good value based on what's included.

Yes! In fact, I was in another state & we happened to find a Sephora in a JCP & that is where I got a sample bag that had the Algenist Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector concentrate in it which I LOVE. Its what got me started/hooked on Algenist.

Do you really like the Glamglow?

They give the best sample bags. I got one last month with 8 skincare samples and all I only bought a $12 item as I was passing through.

Do I like the Glamglow? Can I be honest? I haven't tried them yet.

I stocked up because it was a good deal, but I have so many masks that I haven't tried any of the GG masks yet. I also noticed that I have a few others from different skincare samplers that I bought at SiJCP and on Sephora.com around Christmas. So I have no shortage of those suckers. I better like them!

 

[MsGlossy]

Why would you wanna pay full price !?!? Hahaha I can't with some of these sephora employees.

I got the Rouge Infusion lip stain in Ruby Extract!

I actually got it yesterday when I went to Sephora to get another MJ perk but they were out The kicker is, it was the same Sephora I was at last weekend when the sales associate said she checked and they didn't have any( before the SiJCP rep tried to sell it to me for full price). Another associate checked for me yesterday and they had 13 in stock...13! Anyway, I got 2. The rep asked me if I was sure I didn't need anymore. If only I had more lips. LOL

Why is anyone expecting a point perk to be worth $100? You already got your $100 in products, the perks are just that- perks. Personally, I'm happy if something is worth more than $10 and is generally something I couldn't just get a sample of (ie. Lipstick).

I don't see anyone saying they should get a perk worth $100. I think it's just the comical idea that you spent $100 to get those 100 points that gets you something so tiny, and many times(not all of course) the same perk is given with a purchase much less somewhere else. Sometimes I find a great perk, like the MJ lipstick, but often they aren't anything special or of interest to me, but everyone likes different things. Personally I prefer Ulta and Nordstrom's notes or money off for points exchanged.
