@CynthieLu , the bag is both in store and online with a $125, but I dunno if it differs for Canada.

@alyssanatalia *Discovery sets are really good for me to test *out fragrances over a few days* so I would know *whether or not the perfume will give me a bad reaction*.

@CasPetty My Way Ylang, Harlem Perfume Co discovery set,Lancome La Vie est Belle Rose Extraordinaire.

@HusbandsWifey Have you tried Harlem Perfume Co. little discovery set? I think there are a few that could fit the description. Also Armani My Way Ylang is a good spring/summer perfume. Not so much vanilla but I find it a slightly creamy floral. I try not to be an over sprayer with it but... Also, if I remember correctly, Sol de Janiero 76 and 59 might be good or the 96? Also maybe 87. That one I think I can smell coconut too. Summery oils Nest Balinese Coconut and Madagascar Vanilla are nice to try. I've found using them on damp skin or warm skin amplifies the smell if you are having trouble smelling them then maybe you could try that.

July 2025 FoilsMonth-to-Date: 8Year-to-Date: 57July 2025 Foils Chipping away at my foil stash. No new-to-me products this month. I first used foils of the #Mizani Press Agent Smoothing Sulfate-Free Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL and Mizani Press Agent Smoothing Sulfate-Free Conditioner 8.5 oz/ 250 mL last year and was underwhelmed by it. I thought I had donated all of the foils off these that I had but came upon this set and decided to use it after getting back from a vacation. It turned out better than I remembered; either that or my hair was more damaged than before (entirely possible). This still isn't a pair I see myself picking up after I finish all my shampoo and conditioners but I find these more appealing and effective than before. I was really happy to have found these Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots samples - they really came through to help with a zit that came out of nowhere. 😖 These were previously my GOAT product as far as pimple patches go, and I still find them to be very good, but I've since found ones I like better. Cutex Swipe & Go Nail Polish Remover Pads are excellent for travel. This brand is one of my favorites and are handy to have on hand, even if I'm not doing my nails as frequently as before. 💅

@KhyleyBT Hi Khyley! I am not sure I've tried Merit sunscreen but I have gotten some Glowscreen sunscreen by Supergoop. Their regular sunscreen dries my skin but this luminescent? sunscreen does not. I have a lot of trouble with foundations and BB creams caking and settling in pores. This is very sheer but hasn't given me trouble unless I do something like put a priming moisturizer on and then it settles into my pores. The mineral screen version does highlight my facial hair so if you are a hairier person the mineral version, which is goopier than the other version, might highlight hairy places on face and chest. I don't notice the problem with the one not labeled mineral on front. Both versions work well for me. I am still loving Lola Vie detangler and I am really enjoying Verb mini glossy hair protectant. I do enjoy the Ceremonia Guava leave in. One of the few products that doesn't grease my hair. I had to use it for about a week to see real results but then my hair was so shiny! Innersense beauty hair products have been newbies I enjoyed using. I think they smell good. I have been trying out Vaseline products for skin. Illuminate Me and Radiant X both keep me looking hydrated all day and are very inexpensive compared to what I'd been using. Their B3 product is great for me as a face cream too. If I am breaking out, clogged pores etc I use that and it actually works for me. Perfume wise I found the Harlem perfume company discovery set. Love it, love it! I enjoy every perfume in it. I really wish some of them lasted longer than they do on me, but I like their scents. I was so glad Sephora picked up this brand. I have wanted to try it out for quite awhile. I also picked up Givenchy L'Interdit Angelique. I find it aromatic but still retaining the grape-y DNA of the original. Perfume is so personal to everyone's body chemistry. I am not sure how much longer it will be available but I am glad I picked that up. I've been trying a lot of new products recently. I've really enjoyed most of them. There have been a few letdowns though.

@danielledanielle @sannnnn I'll try to help! About Face does have 2 foundations specifically called "olive." Urban Decay Face Bond Self Setting Waterproof Foundation comes in Light Medium Cool Olive, Medium Golden Olive, Medium Olive, Medium Deep Olive, Medium Deep Cool Olive. I tried the Light Medium Cool Olive, and it definitely has a more greenish cast to it. It didn't work for me because I have a lot of pink in my skin. Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation in 3.5 is light/medium olive. Although that's the only lighter olive shade in this product, there are some neutral and even a cool shade that might work as they have a yellow/green cast. I have or tried 5.0 and 5.1, and they seemed like they would match olive skin well. They were too ashy on me is why I think that. What's nice about the Luminous Silk is that you can choose 3 samples of the foundation shades of your choice when you make any $25 purchase on Sephora. There are other foundation that have this offer, Makeup by Mario for one, who has some shades that aren't specifically labeled olive but are recommended by the r/OliveMUA thread on Reddit. You could probably find a lot of suggestions there. This banner is present on the brands offering the three foundation samples.
