All Things Sephora

[Ajigglin]

My list is the CoverFX highlighters and the Becca Rose Quartz. Sadly, the Becca seems to be gone for good. Penny wise, pound foolish. I should have pulled the trigger and paid full price.

I wouldn't mind the Gunmetal Stack but their shipping charge causes me anxiety!

Yea you have to make sure it's over the $75 to get the free shipping. I live in Cali, so it arrives in one day

Omg, I got the mini rollerball of E&J Nirvana Rose, and it smells like Vicks VapoRub, Rose, and maybe a little cat urine? I was dying. I put my arm under my husband's nose and all he could muster was "EWWWWWW!!!"

Really? I actually LOVE mixing the Rose and Bourbon together on me. I didnt like the Black or White fragrances- separrate or together but the new ones mix well with my chemistry. I dont care for them separately though but they dont repulse me if I smell them lol

 

[colormefab]

My list..not so short and sweet because I've been adulting all year so up until recently, I've been deprived of my normal frequent Sephora purchases.. Most of my items are replenish items and skincare related because I love the sets they have during this time of year and the majority of color items I have on my wishlist are either from indie brands or arent sold at Sephora. I took the Marc Jacobs items I had on my list off because...he's a jack***...which makes me sad because Daisy is one of my fave fragrances and well...I wont get to political on this post. lol

Sheishido Cotton Pads (x2) (repurchase)
Benefit - Precisely My Brow Pencil- My new fav (repurchase- got it in gratis and LOVED it)
Caudalie Moisturizing Toner

Boscia- Sake Brightening Hydrogel Eye Masks x3- These are BOMB and cheap for the quality
Clinique- Take the Day of Cleansing Balm- HG Makeup Remover

Fresh- Spa Escape Mask Trio- I LOVE the Rose Mask and the Black Tea mask so the fact that they come in a set is a no brainer
Fresh- Seaberry Nourishing Hand Cream- Discovered this cream working and love it. The scent is also very pleasant
Kat Von D- Studded Kiss Lipstick- Lovecraft and Bauhau5- These are probably one of the few items I might skip on, they been on my loves list for a while so I thought I might as well get them while I can on sale.

Qhemet Biologocs- Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee
PTR- 24 k Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches- My splurge item becuase i really cant justify spending $75 on eye masks but I like using them on clients and clients love em.
Nars- Randiant Creamy Concealer- Amande & Hazlenut- HGs
MUFE Artist Shadow- D712 & D750- These shadows are my HGS

Now THAT is a list!!!

Which indie brands?

 

[colormefab]

ColourPop- lippies
Coloured Raine- lippies
Milani- metallic and fall lippies
Color Club- Halo Hues and Oil Slick polish Collections
I do also wanna try the Juvia's Place Palettes but I'm not hearing to many good things about the integrity of the company's owners. Somewhere along the lines of Jeffree Star and Limecrime.

Dying! What a review!

LOL! But I totally agree! I could NOT with that scent...it actually smelled like something died to me...dead roses with cat pee...ick...

P.S I must say we are a stunning, beautiful, assortment of "adulting" ladies...

Yayy for being an adult and then splurging! I've been pretty good this year so far but could have been better #themakeupshownewyork lol!

Your list is awesome and actually reminded me of some things I have that I haven't used or need to get. Like those Boscia eye masks. I bought a pack because you recommended them and haven't used them as yet! Gonna try them out this weekend and over the next two weeks to see if they're something I should be adding to my list. I also have that Becca Backlight Primer and I've heard so many people rave about it and I haven't even opened it. I've had it for almost a year! Keep forgetting to try those Formula X delete removers also. You will love those Viseart palettes. If you aren't already, sign up to Frends Beauty's newsletter. They had really good deals on them last year. I think I paid like $56 for mine instead of the regular $80 which is more than 20% off! Thanks again for sharing your list!

Oh dear! I've seen people complain about the Juvia Place crew and one of their bigger promoters completely disassociated herself from the brand (yikes!). Maybe try to see if you can pick up the palettes you want from a secondary source. That said, Limecrime seems to be behaving these days.

I've been on the fence for a while but I'm so enticed by those palettes (its the palette junkie in me)..I might end up passing because I dont like misbehaving brands lol

I'm with you, I love combining them. I like Bourbon on its own but not Rose. By itself, Rose is a little too floral. I defintely don't think of cat urine when I smell it. Funny how people perceive scents differently.

Milani's metallic lippies look so nice and I'm not for metallic on my lips! I've been thinking about trying Coloured Raine's eyeshadows. They are made in the US which is nice. That's another reason I'm staying away from Juvia. Those palettes are made in China.

Also how the scents mingle with our own body chemistry. I meant no disrespect to anyone who enjoys the scent. On my skin, it was a definite cat-pee no no, but I can see how it could work on others.

Definitely! I've had my own share of "cat-pee no no" moments. The weirdest thing is even your own body chemistry changes so a scent that smells good on me this week, might smell not so good in 2 weeks time. *sigh*

I fainted, lmaoooo! You have been legit cracking me up lately! More than usual I find, what's up? Watching Kevin Hart stand-ups? Kidding. I love the smell of Vicks VapoRub, seriously. And Tiger Balm, what can I say, I'm an old lady. But yeah, this sounds grosssss. Who loves E&J here, oh yes Shontay!

OMG really? I have Juvia's Nubian 1, 2 and The Masquerade palettes and love them! I've never had to deal with their customer service or anything though and I got my stuff super fast. Wow. The Milani metallics are nice, they were at GenBeauty and I got to swatch the ones I was eyeing. So annoyed they weren't selling I can't wait for the Coloured Raine e/s palette to come out, she told me December or earlier when I asked yesterday. I've never ordered Lime Crime. Never felt the need to tbh.

I agree! Everyone loves Chanel Mademoiselle but thats DEFINITELY a cat pee moment on me.

I had purchased a few of the Milani metallic lipsticks....and ended up returning them. Pretty colors, but very drying and the scent was overwhelming. I just could not deal with the smell of them. Not fruity or nice...very chemical-like scent. Ugh.

 

[GreenEyedAllie]

I need toner recs. Just finished Mario B. Glycolic toner and felt meh about it. What do you all use?

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Stopped at Sephora after a bad work day to get my feel better gift. It was supposed to be just one thing . . . but you know.

I went to get Becca Rose Quartz. But they had the Tarte Blush palette too.
Saw the Huda Formula X nail polish. I liked all 3 but decided to just get the one that looked like a hot seller, the shimmery pink one. Only saw 1 other on the shelf. Then . . . I saw Alchemy 3! Looked similar to the Huda one but the lighting was bad. Grabbed that up too. I didn't know there was a new Alchemy polish. Ended up looking at Estee Edit palette. It caught my eye because it was much bigger than it looked online. Online it looked like a mini palette. It is not. I went to see how many of each they had when I realized it was a set! You get one eye palette and one cheek/highlighter palette. I thought they were separate purchases. They swatched nice for me. I don't know if they were the most unusual colors but I was intrigued and did an impulse purchase. I did rethink it a bit as I saw the Marc Jacobs palette and realized The Estee Edit palette was only $10 cheaper than the Marc Jacobs eye/cheek palette. Plus, I was concerned about spending so much on a product from a brand I had never tried before (not the regular Estee Lauder). Then I saw more Viseart! The bronzey 6 pan one. Only one out. It was in that side aisle display like the bigger Viseart palette. That has been on my list forever but I've never seen it in person so I impulse bought it. BTW I had no business buying those highlighters after what I went through this morning trying to pick a highlighter but resistance is futile. Oh and there was no tester of Rose Quartz so I couldn't try it beforehand. but I"m assuming it will work for me. It is Becca and it is pink metallic packaging. I had to get it. I am proud myself for waiting even this long to get it.

Oh BTW again. I ordered the Huda Beauty palette from her website. After stalking several times, I decided to go ahead and get it from her site as I didn't think I could deal with the later launch and inevitable stalking on Sephora. I'm thinking that was a mistake. I waited all day and night yesterday for it. No updates, nothing. Today I got a text that I missed delivery and to arrange redelivery. They offer no window of time for me and said there as no place close by I can pick it up. I'm quite upset with this. (DHL). It might end up being sent back so I'm super annoyed. So if you were interested in this palette and decided to wait for Sephora to launch it, you are super smart!

So in all I got:
-Becca Rose Quartz highlighter
-Tarte blush palette
-Sephora Formula X Color Curators Collection Huda Beauty Baroque Babe nail polish
-Sephora Formula X Alchemy III nail polish
-Estee Edit Gritty & Glow Magnetic Eye and Face palettes
-Viseart Minx eyeshadow palette
-Anastasia Brow Wiz - Oh I've been using the brow definer and like it once I got the hang of it but I think it would work even better with the brow wiz. I don't think I have time to use both everyday but we'll see.

Thanks for reading. (long I know)
