All Things Sephora

So I got a trial of the Ole Henriksen power peel, and the past couple of days after I used it, my skin is flipping out. Anyone have a similar reaction?

I hear his products are good, so I don't want to throw out/give away the other two trials unless I have to.

I used to religiously use that 3-step system every Sunday, but it became too intense. Made my skin burn like hell and irritated any active breakouts I had. Over time I did notice a clearer, brighter complexion...my skin looked damn good. Even when I suffered the occasional breakout the rest of my face looked great. I will say the longer you use it, the sensation is easier to handle. I hated using it but I loved the results.

Sephora now carries a Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture haircare line!!! I wonder if it's actually created by her estate hmmm. The products are of course luxury pricing, but I'll definately be picking up some things! The models being used on the site are beautiful as well. Damn it now I miss my natural hair lol

Thanks for sharing your experience. For me, it didn't feel like it irritated, but my face has broken out terribly in the couple days after. It makes me hesitant to try it again.

I wish Sephora stores would get all of the new Bite lipsticks in stock. From what I've read, most stores only have 7 or 8 colors. I'm having a hard time finding colors online that work for me - half the ones I've ordered I'm returning since they don't work for me. For example, Sorbet looks so pretty in swatches and on other people but on me, the tone is all wrong. Usually, I'm able to tell which colors will work for me but these are proving to be a challenge.

My sephora only had like 8, too. And of course-- none of the one's that I'm interested in. I think I read somewhere that the full line is coming the end of march?

I ordered Sake. It's Amazeballs. That is all.

^^^^^I've posted a couple times about this. The full line is suppose to be out in stores on March 25th.

I was fortunate to get an assistant who was willing to pull out all the stock for me, make testers and let me buy the colors I wanted that were not out. Maybe if you ask at your store they might be willing to do the same knowing that they will make the sale.

I bought Sweet Cream (getting returned - color is "off" for me & the wear was odd) and Dragonfruit (not worn yet). I really wanted to test Sorbet but we could not find it all at in any of the boxes. I am still holding out hope for a few other colors, Fig or Pepper & Rhubarb. I really want to find some everyday colors These may be a better choice than Sorbet, Sake & Sweet Cream for me. While I love the look of those colors I do not hold out hope they will be a match.

I have Sake. I agree with you. It's a pretty color but not right for me - I should know better. Cool, mauve colors usually don't work with my coloring. Warmer colors are better suited for me. So far, of all the ones I've ordered, only Sweet Cream and Pepper are keepers. I'm not ordering any others until I can see them in person. Thankfully, Sephora has a great return policy.

Aw. I'm sorry Sake wasn't a winner for you. Sweet Cream looks super pretty. I'm lucky to have very neutral skin, so I can go warm or cool.

^^^^^I'm thankful for the return policy too. Though I do feel just a tad bad having to return...but letting something go to waste and/or losing my money is just as bad. I really feel for the gals who have Tom Ford lippies already going rancid. That too is unacceptable for high end!

@Allie Lucky girl! I too am drawn to those cool mauves! Dang Sabrina! (beauty look book) She makes everything look good! @MaryJane I am hoping Pepper will be a better match.

I'll be waiting to see what you think my friend! XOX

Did anyone see that Luminous Silk is now being sold in a "travel size" of 0.6 oz on Sephora's website? Thought that was interesting.

I've always wanted to try this foundation. I'm having a bit of trouble picking my color online. I think I should visit a Bloomingdale's and get matched.

I was so excited reading the names of the products. But every single one I picked has glycerin in. So disappointed. There is nothing wrong with glycerin, it just wrecks havoc on my face when it is in hair products.

I need pink/orange/coral lipstick rehab. I just saw Temptalia's swatches of the new Tarte l/s- http://www.temptalia.com/tarte-biki...h-lip-splash-lipstick-reviews-photos-swatches and I want all three even though I own dozens of similar shades.

I'm not usually into those shades, but DAMN those look niiiiiiice! I felt the same way when I saw her recently posted review for the YSL glossy stain. I wanted to jump for it, but I remembered I hated the scent. It smelled like grape cough syrup to me.

Not to be an enabler (just kidding, yes I am) You should totally get one! ...or all three.

I try to keep my hair back because it gets so greasy that my forehead will be a mess, and I only wash once per week. The Jamaican Black Castor Oil is on my loves list, but it's $26 and I just bought a bottle at the beauty supple store for $7.99 lol. Buuuut it's still cheaper than the Phyto leave in conditioner that I'm loving at the moment. I'm excited to see some reviews!
