Nice haul! Is the Dior one of the new shades? @danielledanielle 

[danielledanielle]

@sister13, I believe so!  @Sunnysmom I haven't tried it yet, but I have the older version of DIOR Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm 001 Pink to compare.  I swatched DIOR Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm 020 Mahogany  in store and it seemed similar.  Blackberry called out to me in the end, though

Got my fave mascara 

 

[lmaster]

Yes!! Love this too @greeneyedgirl107 

[Sunnysmom]

Nice @greeneyedgirl107 ! Is this the original formula or do they have different ones now? I’ve tried a tubing one I think it was? 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Sunnysmom this is the original...just in holiday packaging.  It's a tubing mascara.  It's my absolute fave, though I should try Hourglass Hourglass Unlocked Defining and Lengthening Tubing Mascara Ultra Black due to all the recs on BIC.

@greeneyedgirl107 I like tubing mascaras better than the Hourglass mascara.  I like the Hourglass formula but I’ve had it flake on me after a long day.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@curlychiquita interesting!

[Sunnysmom]

Ah thank you @greeneyedgirl107 what fun packaging! Yes I bet you would enjoy the HG formula then, it’s pretty good! 

[Cissy63]

@greeneyedgirl107  Sounds like a great buy😃

[CynthieLu]

And a double stock, you are set now. @greeneyedgirl107 👌🙂

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu I got BOGO 40%.  The site is good with sales, but stingy with free samples.  I'm always surprised when direct sites are like that.

[CynthieLu]

That is surprising right? Direct is usually sample generous 🤨 @greeneyedgirl107 but a good deal is a good deal. You did good. 👌

[CorgiMommy]

You have mentioned this mascara on the past.  It is nice to find the mascara you love @greeneyedgirl107 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Amazing haul I’ve never seen this one before I’ll have to check it out 🙂 @greeneyedgirl107

Took advantage of the Clarins Sale earlier this month to pick this up at 50% off 🥳

I absolutely love the Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g from this brand and had Clarins V-Facial Instant Depuffing Face Mask 2.5 oz/ 74 mL in a GWP and liked the sample, it was only enough for one try but I had to scoop this mask up! ❤️

It also came with the skincare bag and 2 samples. 💌

The depuffing mask is really interesting, they recommend you apply it on your face below your eye area and on your neck. And they recommend a manual face depuffing motion described like this:

"Smooth a thick layer over the lower part of face and neck. Avoid eye contours. Leave on for 10 minutes. Optimize the refining effect by performing Clarins' exclusive Manual Auto-Lifting Method during the last few minutes: Place left elbow in palm of right hand, and rest chin in left palm."

I don't gua sha but it seems similar. 🔎

[curlychiquita]

Claris is always a solid choice, @CynthieLu!

[Sunnysmom]

Clarins makes some lovely products @CynthieLu , I’m interested in the V- Facial ! Keep us posted as you continue to use it? I love when a sample works out! 

[CynthieLu]

Thanks! 🙂 @Sunnysmom. I did really enjoy the sample and at half off I'm feeling pretty good about giving this a go. I will definitely give some feedback after I've given this some solid tries.  It's got nice product claims right? 🤩

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  Wait- is Clarins saying that they "invented" the resting your hand under your chin move???

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that is a bit spicy of them isn't it? @Ispend2much6 I didn't even pick up on that. 😮
