@WinglessOne @lmaster @itsfi they just email me.....basically, I have to sent my product to France (yes, I know) at my own expenses, and they will do a quality control for me. I need to fill so much papers for it, and the fact that I have to sent it to France, paying for that on my own, is a bit shocking. I will keep my faulty lip serum, and from now, I will pay much more attention when I buy something from them. This procedure for having a new one is too long and stressful, I don't want to do that. I will get over the smell because, other than that, the product itself is lovely.

***update***: I just had an intuition. I remember that in 2015 I bought a lippie from the line "addict fluid sticks"...and I remember that I had the same feeling I have now: very chemical and alcoholic taste/smell. I just searched online for the ingredients of it, and guess what? alcohol is pretty high in the list too! so I think that @WinglessOne was right: it's a batch of lippies with fragrance issues. In both products (the fluid stick lippie and the serum), alcohol is listed before fragrance and vanillin in the inci.

Well now I suppose I have to go try Bubblewrap, @WinglessOne 🧐 @Anonymous 

[WinglessOne]

@eshoe  Sadly, Glossier has discontinued Bubblewrap. 😞 I wish I'd gotten some advance warning about that before it happened, so I could've stocked up. But they no longer sell it and I'm now on my last tube ever, unless they plan to reintroduce it or create something similar. 

I've been looking for a good replacement with little success. It's hard to find a lip-safe serum that 1) doesn't taste gross and 2) contains as many beneficial ingredients (antioxidants, hydrators, and a peptide) as Bubblewrap but 3) doesn't contain any bad-for-me ingredients. I'm going to try using Tatcha Kissu as a serum instead of a lip mask: it was never moisturizing enough for me as a last-step mask, but it has a thin texture that might work well as a serum, and it does contain some good stuff—though it also contains damask rose extract.

@Anonymous, I'm not familiar with this Dior lip serum so I can't speak to it from first-hand experience. I checked the Q&A section on the product page and found this bit of information regarding the scent:

from sephora dot com

I don’t know the answer, but good luck, not sure if you can get to a store to smell any testers! @Anonymous

Sephora Spring Sale:

Great haul @Nahnom ! I love your “one in-one out” policy. I am on that one as well and I am pretty successful at it so far! Let’s see if I can keep going! 😁

[lmaster]

@Nahnom lovely haul!

[Nahnom]

Thank you @lmaster !

[ather]

@Nahnom ooooo great haul 

[sister13]

I’m intrigued by the Keys products but am on a skincare no buy, so I will keep waiting, lol. Enjoy! @Nahnom 

[itsfi]

Great timing on picking up another of the Fenty toner serum during the sale @Nahnom! I like the sound of that Keys cleanser containing manuka honey - such a wonderful ingredient. 💛🍯

[Loretta55]

It looks like you received some awesome samples @Nahnom.

[Sunnysmom]

The Keys products look nice @Nahnom. I have a few of the Ilia lip balms and really like them. Wanderlust is one of them. My lips feel so nice and color also lasts a good bit as well.

My fourth and fifth sales haul. For the most part I have been pleased with my purchases. I purchased the ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Secure the Blur Makeup Magnet Primer 1.18 oz / 35 mL because @Ispend2much6 @recommended it to someone. I was curious about Charlotte Tilbury Eyeliner - Pillow Talk Collection Pillow Talk . I am not sure how I feel about it. I mentioned in the highlighter vs foundation thread that Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide is a great no makeup look for me so I purchased the full sized tube. I received a deluxe sized jar of OLEHENRIKSEN Cold Plunge™ Pore Remedy Moisturizer with BHA/LHA 1.7 oz/ 50 mL so I a purchased the full size. @itsfi and I were discussing Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush After Hours so I added it to my collection.

 

 Pillow talk eyeliner, Beach Please After Hours, Rose Inc Azalea, Tarte Berry Blish, I feel that the Tarte is a good dup for the Tower 28 but less luminous.

Great haul @Loretta55 ! Those swatches look great!

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @Saradestin.

[curlychiquita]

Love the haul, @Loretta55. I think you'll love everything! 

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @curlychiquita. I have been pleasantly surprised by everything.

[sister13]

I have that eyeliner and I love it but often forget to use it! @Loretta55 

[Loretta55]

That is our problem @sister13, we sometimes forget which items that we have in our stashes.
