Mother’s Day gift ideas 2023  

[Buootiful]

Thanks for the recs, I'll check those tints out. I think I have Cha cha somewhere unopened.... @bakeamuffin 

[WinglessOne]

@bakeamuffin @Buootiful  I still have the two Sephora Jelly Melts I got as gratis one year. Or maybe one was gratis and I bought the other one myself, I don't recall. Either way, I like 'em and wish Sephora hadn't discontinued them. 

I can't think of a Sephora-sold product right now that's specifically formulated to leave a prominent lip stain once wiped off. I mean, plenty of lipsticks and some glosses stain, but not because their entire line of lipstick/gloss is formulated to do that. Oh wait, there's Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain  but I haven't tried one of those yet so I can't personally speak to how comfy they are and other performance points.

@WinglessOne @Buootiful I was curious about this one from Fenty but haven’t seen it talked about prominently, it looks interesting though and many Fenty products have worked beautifully for me. 

It looks like Huda will be coming out with a HUDA BEAUTY Lip Blush Cream Lip & Cheek Stain  but I’m unsure of the launch date, I don’t typically keep up with this brand but I won’t complain about new lippies in the site, they’re some of the most fun to try out and play with.

@WinglessOne Wonderful haul! You ended up getting another Rare Beauty lip oil. Are you liking the formula? I think that shade will look beautiful on you.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @Mellmars1185 ! That Rare Beauty lip oil is actually the first one I ordered. It was supposed to arrive with an earlier Sephora order, but it was missing from my package so Customer Service shipped another one to me. By the time it arrived, I'd already picked up the second shade I ordered. 

I’m still not sure I like these lip oils. I love the 2 shades I bought, but I don't like the way this product feels on my lips. The formula has an uncomfy tingly weirdness—not burning, but unsettlingly weird, especially for reactive skin like mine. I still need to give one of these shades a full day wear test before casting final judgement. 

[Mellmars1185]

@WinglessOne I noticed the tingling also. I didn't look much into it but I thought maybe it could be menthol?

[WinglessOne]

@Mellmars1185  Yeah, these contain menthoxypropanediol. That's a synthetic derivative of menthol. In my description/notes about the Sephora items [edit: in an earlier hauls post that included shade Joy; I did a quick wear-test of that one; editing the edit because I did mention it in this hauls post after all... insomnia's messing with my brain 😅], I mentioned folks who love these lip oils must also love the feeling of menthol and capsaicin in their lip products. 😉 

Sometimes my lips are okay with menthoxypropanediol, but these lip oils also contain a couple of fragrance components. The combo of those + menthoxypropanediol (+ possibly anything else in the formula) could be causing trouble for me. My face is finicky that way.

@WinglessOne I'm so jealous that you got the All I Ever Wanted palette!  That one and the Vol 2 are both so stunning.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @CookieGirl1 ! All I Ever Wanted is still available, FYI. Not to enable or anything... 😉

In store haul...

 

...well, the FAB was via Sephora + Kohl's ( or is it the other way around?) As they were the only ones that had it.  Most retailers are selling FAB Hydrating Serum which I tried from Sephora and don't like.

[lmaster]

Oh I see new lippies! Great haul @greeneyedgirl107 

[Loretta55]

Sephora at Kohl’s has many unicorns @greeneyedgirl107. I was able to find Farmacy Peaches 'N Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 3.4 oz / 100 mL Peaches N Clean  . It was shipped from a store in Ohio. Glad that you were able to find the item that you were looking for.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 so good to know!  I'll keep that in mind.  

[Buootiful]

Great lots of stuff to use @greeneyedgirl107  I'm really loving the SEPHORA COLLECTION Glossed Lip Gloss 115 Unbothered . Throwback!-I just noticed it has the same consistency and does make my lips look pinker, like the Becca Cosmetics PH lip gloss with the Blue-pink shift tubing 😍 @greeneyedgirl107 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@SportyGirly125 I picked up four of the SC Glossed during the sale...but all were clear with various pearls, etc.  Want to use them as toppers. 

[Saradestin]

Enjoy your new purchases @greeneyedgirl107 !

@greeneyedgirl107  Great haul! The pat cleanser is my all time fav! 

[curlychiquita]

Glad you could get the serum you like, @greeneyedgirl107!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@curlychiquita yes!  It should last me a year or two, so I won't have to worry about it for a while!

[haleyvvvv]

Nice haul, @greeneyedgirl107!! Enjoy your goodies!! 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh look at all these goodies,  I hope you enjoy everything 🙂 @greeneyedgirl107 

and like this new mist 💚
