All Things Sephora

[shellygrrl]

Okay skincare, I tried stuff when I did the skincare class at Sephora and something instantly broke me out. I know I used PTR...I need to check. I just bought the small pack of the Ole Henriksen Nurture Me Cleansing Cloths. They smell so good and work decent enough. May buy the big pack. Edit: here's what I used, anyone use and like them?:

Oh I got my VIB sale official invite in the mail yesterday. I want that in-store free tote!

Caudalie's cleansing water is one of my faves (I use it mainly as an eye makeup remover, not so much for all over the face, though I have done on occasion without issue). I've never used the other things in your cart, though.

I'm not sure where to ask this-- but is the bioderma h2o micellar water worth it? Right now I use sephora's and like it a lot. However, it's like 13-ish oz for $20, when I can get 500ml (just under 17 oz) of bioderma for $19.95. Then, I don't know if I should get the pink "sensibio" one, that I see everywhere... or the Sebium one which is for oily skin and to help sebum production or whatever it claims. I have combo/oily skin but I don't know if the sebium one is safe for eyes. Plus, I'd think that's what good skin care is for... I'd just be using this to remove makeup before actually cleansing. 

I think makeup artists, mainly ones who do a lot of runway/catwalk makeup, prefer/use Sensibo because many of the models they work on have to change their makeup multiple times a day from being in other shows, Sensibo is very gentle, and that's why you see that formula more than the others Bioderma do. I've not used the Sebium one so can't say whether or not it's eye safe, but I have used Crealine (it's in a red cap, same as Sensibo, but I don't think there's much difference between Crealine and Sensibo). For me, I finished it but chose not to repurchase because I prefered Caudalie's. I did use Sensibo/Crealine all over but was sort of non-plussed. Personally, I think a cleansing oil, jelly, or balm works better for all over makeup removal. At least for me. That said, I still use micellar water for initial eye makeup removal. (I use the one by Simple, currently, and it's becoming my new favourite.) So for me, Bioderma wasn't really worth it, because there are others I prefer.

YES! i was using Simple Micellar water and sampled Bioderma at the Makeup Show and switched right away. If you have oily/combo skin you should get the green/blue one. My friend has oily skin and she LOVES it...she says she's not as oily anymore....

I am SUPER in love with the Hydrabio since I have dry skin. Also, if you contact Beautylish CS they MAY be able to send you samples. I asked for a friend who didn't know which to get also but i also had an order coming to me...they are SUPER helpful too...love love Beautylish!

Have you had any issues with breakouts?

Beautylish sent me samples of both the other day with my order. I didn't even expect them so it was a welcome surprise since I've wanted to try them both.

She told me it was a different one than the online offer. I'm tempted to order something...

Need any hair ties!!!

Lauren I just tried Bioderma for the first time last night and was surprised by how well it removed ALL of my makeup. I had ordered the Sensible just to try it out, and it
suits my normal skin well. I didn't have to use much at all to remove my full makeup. I'm pleased with it and will repurchase it unless something better comes along in
the interim.

Yes, at least swatch in the store to see if you like it. If your Sephora has crappy lighting, wear it out under different lighting. Thats ok about the blushes, I for years I only had 1 lipstick, blush & eyeshadow.

. There is something about that statement that seems so surreal unless you are talking about when you were a tween. Lol.

 

[elegant-one]

Nooooooo! Why did I Google swatches of Vengeful?

Its so pretty!!!

Hey, when are your BALLS arriving?

 

[Medgal07]

I nearly got trampled for MAC RiRi. Balmain was like Black Friday at Walmart. Same thing.

You're a tiny little thing---too dangerous!!!!

I don't know where to post this but I figured it would be here soooo lol
Tartelette 2 coming soon!!! pics: @lustrelux snapchat

 

[Medgal07]

I did have to stand in a line and covertly manoeuver my way to the front for one of the MAC x Rihanna collections but I didn't punch anybody lol. That was the last time I went to the store for a collection release though!

Ooohh I forgot my Cotton Pads!!

Wow!!!
I never went to one---some of the crap here on the boards was enough for me. I had a really sweet in-store manager who would put things aside for me and ship them on release day. She now
works for Tom Ford and I've moved on from MAC too.

I love that brush you're ordering. It's a blending machine and I can get my foundation on so fast with it. It takes a long time to dry though-------but it's a great brush!!!

It looks pretty! Looks like there are shimmers this time around.. and warmer shades, so right up my alley. I swatched a lot of the palettes from their holiday collection and wasn't that impressed.. Hopefully this palette will be up to par with the first Tartelette palette.

Also the Too Faced Bon Bon Chocolate Bar palette should be out soon - I saw their new advertisement for it on their youtube... it looks so pretty.. If I remember correctly-- last year, the semi-sweet palette came out after the VIB sale... I used my $20 (or whatever it was) coupon to get the semi-sweet for cheap.

EDIT: just googled - Bon Bon is supposed to be out in December.

I am excited for this new palette. In fact, I need to take out my other Chocolate palettes to play with in anticipation.

hahaha. I was just thinking - I would never get in the middle of all that ruckus for something as insignificant as clothes.. Then remembered all the times I waited in line for Mac collection releases.. oopsie.

It looks so fun! I can not wait.

Wow, so much to catch up on this thread!! Bioderma is great. I think you can't go wrong with any of them. Hope everyone gets their goodies at the sale! Happy Birthday Elegant! You share the same birthday as my mother-in-law. She is a sweet and awesome lady...there must be something in common with you ladies born on that day!!
