Sephora

Oh, yay, my package arrived, as well! Thank you, @TeamBIC! I think everyone has said all the wonderful things I can think of about this gratis package. It certainly is beyond generous. Thank you so much. 💞 I can't wait to try them all and review them!  

Oh my, what an incredible feast of pan! @blackkitty2014 , you took that bronzer to bits already, fine to let it go with honors, right? & I love seeing lipsticks down to the nub like that.

Hey 👋🏻 I'm SammyB ☺️

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL has worked well for me. It's a bit on the pricier side, but it's one of the few where I've not had issues with breakouts - and a lot of SPF products make me break out. The LaRoche Posay Anthelios line has some good, less-expensive options, as does ELTA MD.

@Mcakes Yes, yes, yes! I would love to join again in 2022. Thank you for thinking of me ❤️😘

@BaseballJen Sorry I didn't respond to your comment earlier; I just saw it. Just so you know, people can be notified of your comments if you tag their name with a @ first. Have you been to TJ's lately? 😊

YTD 374 SpoilerWella FusionPlex conditioner: true love, one of my top two favorite conditioners. It does a fantastic job of taming frizz and helping my curl pop without weighing down my oily hair. Absolutely amazing stuff. I'm also thrilled that the tube is easily refillable...when you pop the cap off, the hole is much bigger than normal. I have a liter bottle, but wasn't looking forward to putting a liter in my small shower, so I'll be keeping this tube and reusing itEVA NYC Freshen Up Dry Shampoo: not sad to see this one go. Works OK at best, but doesn't keep my hair looking fresh for a full day. It takes a lot to get halfway decent results, and that leaves flaky buildup on my scalp. H2O+ Beauty Sea Salt Mousse to Oil Body Moisturizer: this is pretty amazing stuff! I've had it in my stash for a couple of years now (the hazard of buying entirely too much body lotion lol) and I wish I had tried it out sooner, as it seems the brand has discontinued this format altogether now. It's an airy mousse that melts into my skin as an oil, and has great moisture for what seems to be a fairly lightweight product. This was super fun to use (as long as I was careful...on more than one occasion, I'd plop it onto my skin a little too hard and wind up splattering it everywhere lol). Light fresh scent. I have one more in another scent, and am so torn on whether to hoard it or use it 😂Glisten & Glow top coat 2oz: true love, HG, and while "never say never" rings in my ears, I'm pretty dang sure I'll never stray. Super quick to dry, no shrink, nice shine!Mamonde Calming Hydro Sleeping Mask: everything else from the brand I'm sniffed has been way too heavily floral scented for me, but this was a nice light scent. It's fairly light and thin for a sleeping mask, I could tilt the jar and give it a few seconds to just drip into my hand, but it was perfect for my oily skin over the summer...nice moisture without being too heavy. This isn't something I'd buy, especially as I have plenty of other sleeping masks, but I'd use another sample if I got one.Goldfaden MD Bright Eyes Dark Circle Radiance Concentrate: The name makes it sound like I was supposed to use this in the mornings, but haha whoops, it was my nighttime eye stuff. Nice moisture. I don't generally have dark circles, so I can't really comment on that function anyways.Lip Smacker Dr Pepper Lip Balm: so it appears this has been discontinued, and I'm not sure I'll ever get over the heartbreak. I have 3 more in my stash that I will treasure. This is just a daily balm for me, with a fun flavor that I love, perhaps not all that special in formulation, but one I've been keeping on hand for a few years now. Le sigh.Ulta SPF30 Sunscreen Lip Balm: another discontinued love that I have a couple more of, this is the best sunscreen lip balm I've come across. It's not gritty or slimy, and feels just like a regular balm, no funny sunscreen taste. Aldi Spiced Cider candle: nice throw, burned well, great scentCeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion: basic stapleDionis Sole Keeper Foot Cream: my new tied-for-favorite foot cream. MINTY minty minty goodness, decently rich and thick. BBW is just a touch thicker, but leans heavy on eucalyptus scent-wise, whereas this has the better mint scent, and for a foot cream, mint is my jam.

Declutters: I found more expired sunscreen 😞 I thought about keeping these just for the glitter, to use as a sparkle topcoat over a layer of non-expired sunscreen, but TBH, I didn't use these at all this past year, even for the glitter, so there was no point. The SheaMoisture body cream stinks (side effect of expired vitamin C perhaps? This is a couple of years old, so I'm not sure if it turned or just smelled bad to begin with), and also goes on white and takes forever to rub in. Biobelle is a true love as always. The Lancome one would be nice if it wasn't so heavily fragranced.

@faeriegirl Thank you! I'm excited to use them.

@bakeamuffin miss seeing you on here.

I thought I'd have ideas because we're skin twins, but dang, I'm copying your list!
