1. What product can you not leave home without, ever?

- Lip balm with SPF (there's so many good ones without SPF, boo).

2. What must-have beauty product does Sephora not currently carry?

- L'occitane Angelica SPF15 lotion. Basically more L'occitane stuff. Estee Lauder would be nice, too.

3. How much do you experiment with new beauty products / brands?

- Frequently. I check new arrival page every Tues and order once per month (3 packets + 1 deluxe sample of new things every month + purchased new items). I keep a list of products I've tried separated into 3 categories (buy next time, ok/will use but not buy, terrible).

4. If forced to choose: Brand Name OR Formula performance

- performance.

1. What product can you not leave home without, ever?

SPF Lip Balm. My lips tend to dry out easily, and SPF is a must, too! I like The Healthy Lip Screen SPF 30!

2. What must-have beauty product does Sephora not currently carry?

I love Fredric Fekkai products. I miss them!

3. How much do you experiment with new beauty products / brands?

Whenever a new product catches my attention, I usually end up trying out other products from that line or brand. I love trying new brands and discovering new things I love!

4. If forced to choose: Brand Name OR Formula performance

I would definitely rather have a product by an unknown or unpopular brand that worked great than a big brand name product that was inferior!

1. The product I cannot leave home without is a good lip balm. Right now, I am in love with Korres lip butter. 2. I am not sure about this. I think there are some items from the Clarins line that is missing from Sephora. 3. I love to try new beauty brands and products. I wouldn't know what I like if I didn't try it! It is also fun to try new stuff, even if it's not something I would typically buy or use. 4. I would choose formula performance. A name is just a name and if it doesn't work, I don't want to spend my money on it and it would end up getting returned.

I cannot leave without mascara, EVER. I don't really have a product I must have that Sephora doesn't carry, although I was looking for a Clinique Chubby stick in a color the store didn't have. I LOVE to experiment with makeup all the time, the more the merrier. If I had to chose, I'd chose performance over name brand, although the brand usually gets me to try a product, unless I hear rave reviews about it.

1. What product can you not leave home without, ever?

Lip Balm with SPF! I hate having dry lips!

2. What must-have beauty product does Sephora not currently carry?

Mario Badescu products. They are awesome, but difficult to get.

3. How much do you experiment with new beauty products / brands?

Constantly, I am always trying new things and brands.

4. If forced to choose: Brand Name OR Formula performance

Formula performance for sure, I don't like wasting my money on things that are sucky just because I like the brand!

1. Something for my lips and/or blotting papers

2. The entire Dermalogica line and I would like to see more bb creams and tinted moisturizers with a higher spf.

3. I constantly experiment, especially when I have samples!

4. Duh! Formula performance, but I usually try products from brands of things I currently am using.

Re: Weekend Focus Group: Sephora Asks

I agree with gymchic365, Dermalogica would be awesome at Sephora!

Hello Beauties!

1. I can't leave my home without putting on Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation
2. Redken. Love these hair products and they really work and are salon quality
3. I don't experiment often but am always expecting a change in some part of my routine
4. If I was forced to, I'd go by formula performance because some products from some brands really don't work

1. What product can you not leave home without, ever? I’d have to say Bare Minerals Bisque (It’s a great multitasker) and a nude lipstick.

2. What must-have beauty product does Sephora not currently carry? I’d love more hair lines such as the Wild Ginger Paul Mitchell line.

3. How much do you experiment with new beauty products / brands? Quite a bit. I am more likely to try when small travel sizes are available so commitment isn’t a big thing.

4. If forced to choose: Brand Name OR Formula performance. Formula Performance for sure!!

1. What product can you not leave home without, ever? Lorac Tantalizer Bronzer! It gives my face a nice glow and has the perfect amount of color

2. What must-have beauty product does Sephora not currently carry? I love NYX lipsticks. Pretty shades and they have a nice price point.

3. How much do you experiment with new beauty products / brands? I always like checking online for new products and then swatching them in store as soon as I can. I find that it is a must because products can look very different online. I also like to check blogs and reviews to see what other people are saying about it.

4. If forced to choose: Brand Name OR Formula performance Performance is a must! Different brands have different strengths and weaknesses. I like mixing and matching:)
