Hello @airammalek 

You tagged me in a post, so I felt I should respond... I'm not a moderator or an admin, but FYI surveying is against community guidelines (see here: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Customer-Support/BEAUTY-INSIDER-COMMUNITY-GUIDELINES-Updated-3-10-2... ).  Might be better to change your post to more of a q&a or topic vs survey, especially since a zoom/phone would involve identifying info, but it sounds interesting.

You also have PM turned off.

[airammalek]

I just turned on my PM. Thank you so much for your guidance and for finding my research interesting. I will follow these steps, and hopefully I can get the lead from this community for my research. Thanks

The Lunar New Year Brush - Year of the Horse (2026)

I wasn't able to resist @blackkitty2014 but I'm pretty sure we knew I wouldn't be able to. 😅 Very cute.  

Sephora

SEPHORA COLLECTION Cleansing + Exfoliating Wipes Watermelon were part of a promo giveway (no purchase necessry) during a local store's re-opening. They handed out scratch-off cards at the front door for certain prizes, including select Sephora Collection products from which you chould choose. I chose these cleansing wipes.

I'll use up the full size of my rhode Barrier Butter Intensive Moisture Balm 3.4oz/100ml sometime this week and picked up this rhode Mini Barrier Butter Intensive Moisture Balm 1.35oz/40ml because my skin doesn't want to be without it this winter.  

Also picked up samples of the two products from Tatcha's recently launched Longevity collection - Tatcha The Longevity Skin Strength & Age Delay Serum 1 oz/30 mL and Tatcha The Longevity Youth Restoring Cream for Elasticity & Brightness 1.7 oz/50 ml.

@itsfi The brush is soooo cute.  It's giving My Little Ponies, but in a more elegant way.  Love it! Please let us know what you think of the Tatcha as well!!

[SportyGirly125]

@itsfi Beautiful haul!

[curlychiquita]

Love the brush, @itsfi! I’m glad you got it so quickly! 

[danielledanielle]

Good grief that was fast @itsfi ! Did you relocate to Kumano 🤣???

I love the little shooting 🌠 😍

[itsfi]

lololol, I was surprised it got here so quickly too @danielledanielle; my first thought was it was something I ordered at the end of last year and forgot about it - that, in and of itself is not good. 🙄  Hahaha, I prefer the cost of living for Kumano so ... 😂  The detailing on the illustration for these brushes is alway on point! Beautylish really continues to impress year after year with this collection.

My 2026 haul so far💕

[curlychiquita]

Great products, @Carleneee2013!

[itsfi]

What a beautiful way to start off the year @Carleneee2013! 😍 The Tatcha Rice Wash is lovely and I'm a huge fan of Touchland's hand sanitizers. Ooouh, that Kitsch discovery set looks like a fun one - would love to know if you have a favorite (or maybe favorites (?)) after you have a chance to try all of them. They sound like they would all smell so good.

Great haul! @Carleneee2013 🙌
