@SportyGirly125 Nice haul. I bet that smells amazing!

[SportyGirly125]

@Mellmars1185 @Thank you. It smells really good.

@SportyGirly125 ,

The Trader Joe's Guava Hand Cream looks even better in your photo!  Drawn in by the packaging!

[SportyGirly125]

@tsavorite @Thank you. It smells really good. 

[JoSometimes]

Trader Joes is such an amusing store. I can’t think of any Canadian equivalent. Great find @SportyGirly125!

[Mellmars1185]

@tsavorite I feel like Farm Boy is the closest thing to Trader Joe's.

[tsavorite]

@JoSometimes , I think that this Farm Boy answer is for you!

[SportyGirly125]

@JoSometimes Thank you 

[CynthieLu]

A few planned (and unplanned 😬) Sephora hauls 

This wasn't planned. Was in store for a BOPIS and caught sight of the new Tatcha The Indigo Cleansing Balm Moisturizing Makeup Remover 1.9 oz / 54 g. It somehow found its way into my shopping bag after I spent some time playing with the tester in the store.😊

We're less than 2 weeks away from National Lipstick Day ~ I'm just preparing for it well in advance. 😂 Added Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez All of the Above Weightless Eyeshadow Stick Adventure for some variety. 😉 

I have the original Gisou lip oil ~ this one is new and has a gold shimmery glow to it; exclusive to Gisou online but hoping it comes to Sephora at some point 🤞

Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil 5/17 

tarte Mini maracuja juicy lip starter set ~ @Loretta55 always posts beautiful swatches of Tarte lippies & I held off on picking up this mini set for as long as I could

Algenist GENIUS Liquid Collagen Lip Treatment .5 oz / 15 mL ~ this sold out like that online when it was 50% off. It showed up as out of stock in every store in SF and neighboring cities. I had a meeting and an event about an hour away, so I decided to poke my head into the Sephora store during a break & my eyes spied this as I was on my way out the door - it was the last one, and now, it's mine.

Always great to be at the ready @itsfi ! 💄💞 The Tatcha is also just so pretty to stare at! The Ami Cole is def such a comforting lip oil. Something I haven’t really used until we got it in the fun gratis! 

[lmaster]

The tatcha packaging is just gorgeous!! Enjoy your beauties @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, Tatcha always has such elegant packaging. The formulation on the cleansing balm is also wonderful. A new favorite of mine. 👍🏼

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  You had a terrific event break😃. I really enjoy the Tatcha Indigo Nighttime moisturizer.  Enjoy the new cleansing balm! 

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, thank you! I went on a low and much lower buy in the first half of the year. I don't typically purchase as much in the summer months, but there have been some releases that I couldn't pass up. The Tatcha cleanser wasn't a planned purchase, or at least, I hadn't planned on picking up right away when I received an email about a new product, but seeing it in store and testing it out persuaded me to go for it. I'm glad I did. Their indigo line is really lovely. 😍

[curlychiquita]

Love the lip products and I'm definitely interested in the Tatcha The Indigo Cleansing Balm Moisturizing Makeup Remover 1.9 oz / 54 g , @itsfi!

[itsfi]

There's been so many good lip products being released @curlychiquita; hard to narrow down what to pick up, and then keeping to that curated list. 🤣 Ohhhh, the Tatcha cleansing balm is a beauty! A new favorite for me - soothing and does a lovely job of removing makeup, including waterproof makeup, without stripping my skin dry or irritating it or the area around my eyes.

Hope that you enjoy the Tarte lippies as much as I do @itsfi. Looking forward to seeing what goodies are being offered for National Lipstick Day, one of my favorite non food holidays. 

[itsfi]

@Loretta55, the Tarte lippies are nice; the Rose and Mauve shades are my favorites of the set, which is what I expected. The White Peach is nice, too; my lips have some more pigment to them so shades like WP don't always have enough color payoff for me. 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Great haul! I wonder how the cleansing balm will compare to the Farmacy Clean. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Tarte starter set. Ohh the Algenist GENIUS Liquid Collagen Lip Treatment .5 oz / 15 mL - I remember when I received this as a sample and I applied it to my face, not knowing it was for the lips. I think your lips will be happy with this haul! 💋
