Sephora

Yes, @evangeline27 , it can smell somewhat like chlorine, as the active ingredient (hypochlorous acid) in a similar compound. Totally normal

Nice bag, @lmaster !! Glad you're excited for it!!

Thank you, @CorgiMommy , it was!!

@missjeanie I didn’t bother trying, mostly because I figured my chances would be extremely low. My social media feeds have been dotted with lots of ticked-off Ulta customers who didn’t get tickets, so I’m extra glad I sat the whole thing out. I do feel for the folks who missed out, especially those who were stuck in hours-long queue purgatory. That sounds like the kind of backend glitchiness I’d expect from Ulta (though to their credit, their site’s consistently worked much better since they’ve cleared some of their redesign bugs over the last year or two). 🤦‍♀️ I’ve seen some people claim Ulta rigged the ticket buyflow code to allow only certain people to get tickets, but nah, I looked at their screenshots of code and they just look like a typical “first come, first served” type of buyflow. Eh, I don’t work for Ulta so I can’t say what they may or may not have actually done behind the scenes. I highly doubt this specific conspiracy theory though. Today an anti-Ulta Facebook group hit my feed. It was kinda weird seeing so many people say “let’s all take our business to Sephora instead” because of UBW tickets, considering how this year’s Sephoria ticket sale was handled. Like, tell me you didn’t try to get Sephoria tickets without telling me. 😂 To be fair, I didn’t hear of Sephoria shoppers getting stuck in queue for hours. (I didn’t try to get those tickets either.) So a small win for Sephora, I guess. But also, I suppose more people are simply used to Sephoria quickly selling out since that convention’s existed longer than UBW, hence fewer complaints (that I’ve seen) about Sephoria sellout than UBW sellout. Though I did see some very angry Rouge members complaining. And I’ll stop rambling now. 😅

@itsfi @SamtianI just picked it up from my local Ulta.

@ather I had a great day. Hope yours was amazing.

Maybe the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation Universal , @RosalieStarr ? I find it weirdly works well on my dry skin.

I’m loving warm woods and soft vanilla mixes lately, plus anything with fresh citrus for daytime. I also reach for cozy smoky blends in colder weather to make my space feel inviting.

I’d try a soft vanilla with a milky or marshmallow vibe since it stays cozy without the spice. Something with vanilla, sandalwood, and a hint of musk stays gentle for office wear.
