Sephora

@missjeanie OPEN Pleassssssssse

Those FAB radiance pads are fantastic @lnum! It's been nice going through my stash - I went through most of my foils and sheet masks last year, which was much needed and it feels good to have a more manageable stash. This year the focus will be whittling down my bath/body products and hair masks and decluttering a few more things. Definitely a work in progress!

@civ2ru Baby is good, thanks for asking! The intention behind "mainstream/"prestige"" was meant to indicate things carried by sephora, or things ulta would label as "prestige". Drug store items would be excluded. I think one of the reasons this thread has died off in the past is too many "lackluster" deals as someone else put it. It's hard to define what's a good deal and what's not. I think it's a combination of a dollar-off amount, a percentage-saved, and a perceived-scarcity. 20% off at Tarte isn't that exciting, for example, because they do it so often. 20% off at Sephora is a little more interesting because it doesn't happen often. Similarly 50% off a $10 item isn't that exciting, whereas 50% off a $100 item makes the deal more appealing. I hate having an undefined answer about what a "deal too good to pass up" is but there is a bit of je ne sais quois involved. Hope that helps. 🙂

SEPHORA COLLECTION #LipStories Astrology Lipstick These looks really fun. I wish there were swatches, though. I'm a Libra and I liked the description, but the color in the pic looked rather dark. Maybe I'm really an Aquarius?! Would love to hear other BICers impressions.

@pocketvenus I miss the green florals. I often wish I had a bottle of Gucci Envy. I think Florabotanica would have been up my alley, but never got a chance to try it.

@MariaAntonia6 I would rec a leave-on treatment. Paula's Choice has great BHA products, including 1, 2, 4 and 9% 🙂

I just bought the Gucci Gucci Flora Lavender Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Toilette and love it! Also ordered Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Frost Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette Frost Can’t wait to receive that! Oh! And I ordered Givenchy Prisme Libre Chinese New Year Edition. Hoping I like it as much as I hope.

Hi there. I would recommend Qhemet Biologics Aethiopika Hydrate & Twist Butter😍. Also, for a great deep conditioner I recommend Bread Beauty Supply Hair Mask Creamy Deep Conditioner.

Hi @cvlav! I have combination skin that's more on the dry side, but sometimes, my skin will inexplicably become super oily and shiny. When that happens, I usually use a different moisturizer than my regular, every day moisturizer (which is the CLINIQUE Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, which is a great moisturizer for people with skin on the drier side, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for you, since you said that you have oily skin). The moisturizer that I usually use when I have those oilier days is the CLINIQUE Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. It's so moisturizing (hence the name), but it won't leave you oily or shiny at all, since it's a gel-based moisturizer instead of a lotion. It feels cool and refreshing on the skin, and leaves your skin feeling smooth and supple for hours. Also, Clinique is great for sensitive skin because it's completely fragrance free and paraben free. Right now, it's on sale for $50 for 4.2 oz (regular price is $78), which is a really good price! So that's my suggestion for you! I hope that this helps!
