Sephora

@GG84 Mine should be here any day now and I'm so excited! I used to have a Starbucks in the portfolio that I oversaw and I always loved going in every morning as part of my am routine. Since I've left that position it always feels like stepping back in time to good memories.

So happy with my purchase! Products: Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Touch Hand Sanitizer Spray 3.0 oz/ 90 mL smells exactly like their famous bum bum cream SEPHORA COLLECTION Bubble Bath & Shower Gel Lagoon smells really good but not overpowering!!innisfree Pore Clearing Volcanic Cleansing Balm 1.05 oz/ 30 g haven’t opened yet but so so excited to try!

I’m obsessed with this scrub and I love it so much!! It has a fun warming and cooling effect and it works so well! I feel like I’m in an actual spa when I use this 🥰

I totally thought this was going live today and hopped on over to the site just to be disappointed haha. Guess I'll repeat these motions tomorrow with better luck 😅 Thanks for sharing the price points @niki172 I mainly want the compact, but agreed, not forking over hundreds of dollars for the whole shebang!

Definitely have to second this! Gentle and effective!

@Nahnom Hey, make sure you tag folks in your replies so they’ll get notifications. Otherwise people might miss your replies. I know the BIC notifications feature is glitchy (again) right now, but it’s still a good habit to get into. Of course everyone has their own opinions about skincare. And since everyone’s skin is different, many of us have tailored our routines to include and exclude specific ingredients we know our skin reacts badly to. And that’s okay! 🙂 It’s just that you presented some info as fact, not opinion, by stating that those particular ingredients are toxic. I felt obligated to explain those ingredients have not been proven toxic. I shared my explanations not just for you, but also for the person who started this thread, to perhaps help them make informed decisions. If a third person jumped into this discussion with more info based on their own research (not just reading the abstract of a clinical study, which I suspect the EWG does) and disagreed with one or both of us, that’d also be okay. Different perspectives and fact-sharing are partly what science thrives on, after all. So do communities in general, like BIC. I’m glad you don’t actually use the EWG’s site. I was being very nice in my description of them. 😂 In my opinion, no one should ever use the EWG as a resource. Not even folks who are into “clean beauty” (which I’m definitely not—but I’ll spare folks my usual rant about “clean”). And I’ve yet to meet a dermatologist or chemist who doesn’t feel the same.

Just noticed that the Instant Look palette in Glowing Beauty has the Airbrush Powder as the rectangle on the right; the highlighter the square above the blush. Photo from IG lessykooper.  

Rose Feu looks fabulous on you, @Mcakes! I finally got a shipment notification from Saks for the blush and the brush; no idea when the lip balm will ship. I guess they were behind on shipping. Seeing you use your blush and brush makes me excited to get mine!

@itsfi I keep reading such positive reviews on that Innisfree mask! I'll definitely have to pick it up very soon - I love that it's inexpensive too! Glad to hear it worked well for you! 😃 I have never tried the Ulta lip balms, but it sounds like how I feel about the Sephora Collection ones. The only one I would ever repurchase (and have several times actually) is the Honey one, and of course, I don't even see it listed with the others anymore 😢 ..... love your repurpose idea! 💡

@HappyCat72 I've been really happy with Pureology Hydrate Shampoo 🙂
