@danielledanielle  I saw your comment late last night and said “aHA, I knew I was forgetting something” and promptly placed one more small order before the sale ended. Thanks! 

I do like the Basma blush’s emollience (I also like T28’s). It was just a little patchy during my hand swatch, but that could be due to this particular shade. I wanted to try this one before getting a bolder one. I might pick up the fuchsia shade with my next rouge reward. Meanwhile, the peach shade might work well with a couple Fenty shades… thanks for the suggestion. 🙂

The packaging on the Disney 😍. I didn't know SC had the dry brush, putting that in my cart @WinglessOne 

[WinglessOne]

@Buootiful  Normally I’m not swayed by the way packaging looks, but this one got me. 😅 MAC has a couple other Maleficent products available right now. I almost bought the eyeshadow single (technically I think it’s 2 shadow shades in one compact) too, but I wasn’t wowed enough by the shadow(s). Had it been a true duochrome shadow that was less dull looking, then I’d have bought it. 

Enjoy the brush cleaner! Sephora stopped selling it for a while, maybe during a reformulation. Ever since it came back, I’ve bought at least 2 at a time during each sale, in case it ever disappears again. 😂

Fabulous haul, @WinglessOne, I love your comparisons of your red lipsticks!

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @curlychiquita ! I’ll probably swatch-compare a lot of lipsticks this month as I try to declutter again, so this was a good head start. 

[CorgiMommy]

@WinglessOne you always have the coolest hauls 

[WinglessOne]

Aw, thanks @CorgiMommy !

[SportyGirly125]

@WinglessOne @Great haul. Love the swatches and comparisons. 

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @SportyGirly125 ! I’m glad I can swatch and wear lipstick again. 🙂

[SportyGirly125]

@WinglessOne Yay!  That is amazing to hear!

Have to admit that I was a bit bummed when I saw these go OOS online and in all my local Sephora stores. 

Then, it occurred to me ...Sephora at Kohl's! I will not be denied!!! Hahahaha! Special shout out to Mayrin at Sephora at Kohl's in San Leandro, CA - when she saw how much I loved these eye masks, she mentioned  she thought they had more in the back and she went to go check!! Sure enough, there were more ... Thank you!!! 😊

Sweed direct 

[Loretta55]

Glad you were also able to stock up on the SC Caffeine Eye Masks @itsfi .

[itsfi]

Thank you @Loretta55; it was a good restocking haul. 🛍️ 

[jaaayp]

YOU ARE MELROSE @itsfi !!! Shade twins. Now we know 😂😂😂 I love your restock and YES SEPHORA KOHLS!!!!!!!!! honestly, the rep knows me there now and told me that folks who come into the sephora kohl's don't even know it's the semi annual sale! YAY FOR MEEEEE (US)

What is Sweed..... and do I need it? *hyperventilates 😳

[itsfi]

@jaaayp, that's awesome that the people in Sephora at Kohl's know you! 😁 Yes, shade twins! The Tower 28 SunnyDays is really such a great product for every day - quick & easy to use, evens tones, gives a nice glow to the skin and has good staying power. I use a separate SPF with it, but don't mind having an SPF in this foundation. 

lol. I haven't made my way to try the Sweed items I picked up but am hoping to get to play with them soon. They started out making natural looking false lashes, I think, and expanded into makeup and lash growth serum. Suprisingly, I was good and held off on picking up lipstick or other products and just stuck with these 3 - their lash serum, foundation and brightening eye pencil - because even though I have a couple of them already, I'm still looking to try others (ugh!). 

[jaaayp]

Agreed @itsfi ! I would say the tower 28 foundation and concealer are my staples but i do think i like the concealer more than the foundation... If I was stuck in an island, theyll be my picks and their mascara. Ill be good to go.... well Armani can come too LOL 

Oooh. They're a lash brand? I would love to know your thoughts on the lash serum. I'm trying to find one not for length but for adding volume.. more growth? I would love to hear your thoughts once you try. Maybe in the meanwhile if you have any recs, lemme know!

[itsfi]

@jaaayp, I hear ya about volume with lash serum. I’ll let you know how this Sweed one goes. 🤞🏼 

I’ve used Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH - MD Lash Enhancing Serum .067 oz / 2 mL and that’s worked in the past but the last time I used it, it was more length than volume. Which I could use the length too but volume is what I’m aiming for more. Revitalash and Rodan & Fields have been recommended to me. Have you tried either or the GrandeLash? 

[jaaayp]

Yup @itsfi I've used the grandelash.. I do think it added length but I didn't see any additional lashes or volume LOL not that I got long beautiful lashes but they're somewhat longish so I'm looking for volume. Did you hear about the grandelash lawsuit...? I stopped purchasing it since then 🫠 

I've used Latisse in the past and that was the only thing I was able to get volume out of.. it's prescription only so.. harhar. Won't be able to get anymore 😂 I heard rivitalash comes close but I think it's double the price.

I'm just using castor oil now. I picked it up maybe a week ago. I get my lashes lifted so I'm trying to just keep them conditioned and kinda eye shopping researching what I should try next 🤔 🙃 😅 😂

Amazing hauls, descriptions and pics! Enjoy all your goodies! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@sister13, thank you! Picking up a big ticket item (Dyson Airwrap) and then restocks helped a little with reining it in with hauling new items ... well, it helped a little. 🤣 

[sister13]

I hear you! Lowbuy in the cards for a bit for me! @itsfi
