Is the urban decay setting spray better than Charlotte Tilbury AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS SETTING SPRAY?

I was told by two different associates at my local store, Boulder Colorado, that online use of the discount was unlimited and only the in store was a 1 time use. I was told this when I asked them if they could add onto my order and have something shipped to me. I was reassured that I would be able to still use the code online. I tried from the parking lot and could not. Maybe communicate your promotions better to your associates in the future.

I decided to do a lip balm haul because you never can have too many!! I’ve been wanting to try LAWLESS Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask Cherry Vanilla  I have the original and I like it so I wanted to try the vanilla flavour. SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Lip Balm & Scrub Coconut  I keep it in my car. It withstands the hot/cold temps and it’s perfect to keep when I need some moisture and I forget my favs! I also grabbed Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask With Pomegranate Sterols + Vitamin E 0.5 oz / 15 mL  the dispenser really had me intrigued. Interested in this one!! And I picked up SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Face Masks  the new ones! Can’t resist with the 30% off!

@Saradestin  Thank you!

@ather The SC Lip scrubs have really truly become my favourite scrubs.  Easy to apply and control, great price point and gets the job done.  I'm super curious on the Fenty as well!

[ather]

@missjeanie  Me too! I’ll keep you Oates on the Fenty one! 

[mssocial]

[ather]

@mssocial  Thanks! I like in a cold dry area and I always need lip balms!

@ather  Very good choices 🌺

[ather]

@Cissy63  Thank you! It finally warmed up today it’s only -25 now 🤣 I need lip balm at arms reach all the time! 

[danielledanielle]

HOMG, I thought that was a typo 😂😬🥶 @ather 

[ather]

@danielledanielle  Nope. It’s not!! It gets sooo cold where I am!!

[Cissy63]

@ather  I can’t believe what you said.  No wonder lip balms get used so much.  Yikes🥶

[ather]

@Cissy63  Yes! I like to rotate because I find I’m always dry it helps to change it up!

[Ispend2much6]

@ather  Did you say "negative 25???"

[ather]

@Ispend2much6  Yes! That’s not even the coldest it has been before.
