Spoiler

SEPHORA COLLECTION Apple Cider Vinegar Cleansing Scalp Scrub 6.76 oz/ 200 mL 

When I read that ACV is the star ingredient in this scrub, I was more than slightly concerned. Its scent is generally so pervasive, that I braced for the worst. Instead, I was greeted with an apple-y sweet, fruity concoction that leans more tropical than medicinal. I will be testing this out for a few weeks and will update.

SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Blush Brush #99 

The flattened profile of this blush brush is different from other blush brushes I have used. In comparison to the Pro Brush Blush 96, it is much smaller. With the tapered end, I anticipate this lending to more precise application. It is closer in size to my daily go-to, Surratt’s Artistique Cheek brush. I do not have a dedicated cream blush crush, which is exactly what I plan to do with the 99. 

 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Face Mask Strawberry 

I’ve seen a few others try this already so I am very excited to have the opportunity to now. It is fittingly Sephora Collection House Brand week on the 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖 so this won’t last long😉

SEPHORA COLLECTION Vegan Makeup Remover and Cleansing Brush 

I shy away from cleansing brushes due to past overzealous exfoliating adventures. However, my skin is pretty normal and boring now, so I plan to give this a try first thing this evening, and a few times throughout the week. It feels quite gentle, with feather-soft bristles on the outside and gentle silicone ‘noodles’ on the interior of the brush head.

 

Sephora Clean Velvet Cream Blush Palette 

My experience with cream blushes is rather limited. My first impression with these shades is WOW - that’s some color! The Spiced palette especially; 2 is a rich, shimmery sienna that I plan to play with first.  Although the shades in Candied look intimidating, I found they swiped much sheerer than the Spiced ones. Dimethicone is the first ingredient in every shade, something to be aware of for those sensitive to it. My skin doesn’t mind it, thankfully! Out of all the beauty products I use on a daily basis, cheeks are where I have the least amount of options, so these are a very welcomed treat.

 

Spiced Palette

Candied Palette

I will update after experimenting with everything over the next couple of weeks. Thank you again, @TeamBIC!!!

Thank you so much, @Mcakes! 

That is so sweet of you to say, but I am just a masking adventurer in good company 😉 

[Samtian]

@eshoe Congrats! I love how you look at, and are so helpful and informative, the ingredients! I never pay attention to them and regret it often haha. 

[eshoe]

Thanks, @Samtian! Unfortunately it seems like when I actually buy a product, I neglect to read the ingredients list 🤦🏻‍♀️

[itsfi]

Congratulations @eshoe! That's great that you'll be able to try the strawberry face mask now - it's a nice one! 🍓

[eshoe]

Thank you so much, @itsfi! There was a little happy dance going on when I spied that mask in the box ☺️🍓

[Sunnysmom]

Congrats to you @eshoe ! 

[eshoe]

Thank you, @Sunnysmom!  

[Buootiful]

Congrats and enjoy those goodies @eshoe I love your picture of the blush brushes!. It looks so satisfying for some reason. I am already in love with the Candied palette.😍

[eshoe]

Thank you @Buootiful! The Candied palette is so subtle on the cheeks, I was not prepared for that after swatching the Spiced palette. They will work well together. 

[lmaster]

@eshoe congratulations!!! Love your swatches and side by side brush comparison!!
