Ahhh, boooo.  Yes, Hanni is on Sephora, but probably just the U S. @CynthieLu .

Thanks for the 😷 warning 😅

@danielledanielle   I’ve been trying not to buy Fenty Icon backups, but now that you’ve reminded me they’re still marked down… I might possibly need to grab a couple. 

Have you used the Hanni body mist before? Please let me know what you think of it. I usually apply some type of hydrating toner/essence/mist to my body post-shower because my body skin’s crazy dry and reactive, so I’m always curious about products I haven’t tried yet. I don’t need another body mist, sure, but I like to have many options since my favorite products tend to get discontinued. 

[danielledanielle]

@WinglessOne, I had a much longer reply, but of course hit the back button and 💨

The mist behaved like a spray because of the dispenser and I wish it didn't.  The product works well, especially with the salve, but I use it on my legs and find it a little cumbersome to spray it into my hand and then apply, vs getting a continuous mist.  Very nitpicky, I know, but having to apply it only by holding it right side up to pump it into my hand removes the convenience of the item.  I'm two uses in, so I might change my mind, but those are my first impressions.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks for the feedback, @danielledanielle ! One of the reasons I use mostly non-spray stuff on my body is exactly what you mentioned: very few spray bottles are designed to work when held upside-down or at extreme angles. (Paula’s Choice makes a BHA spray in their “CLEAR” line that comes in a bottle that sprays at any angle, including upside-down. I love that little bottle.) If I have to dispense product into my hands first and then rub it on my body, I’d rather just have the product in a pump bottle. I might still try this spray, but now it’s one less thing tempting me during Sephora’s sale. On a positive note, I’m glad it works well for you!

(Oops, somehow I combined my reply to @danielledanielle with my haul post.)

Amazing hauls. A rough week!😞😞 

[CorgiMommy]

These are really cool hauls, enjoy @danielledanielle 

[jaaayp]

@danielledanielle awesome haul! Someone is gonna be smelling like a bed of flowers!!!! 😎

@danielledanielle @Amazing haul!

[Titian06]

Great deal on the Fenty lipstick, @danielledanielle ! 💋💄  I got the Prada sample card too.  I tried the foundation yesterday.  It's nice, but not better than the foundations I already have (not trying to cloud your thoughts!).  I'd love to know what you think!

[danielledanielle]

Heh, please cloud them... Just in case I like it 🤣 @Titian06 

I wondered why the Fenty was on sale, I got discontinued worries and had to get two other shades 🙃, they are all available at the direct site, but at a smaller discount 🤷🏽‍♀️, so who knows?

[Titian06]

@danielledanielle - I didn't think to look at the direct site.  Think I'll see what's available. 

[danielledanielle]

I Sephora at Kohl's-ed them, same discount FYI @Titian06 

[itsfi]

@danielledanielle, act 3 - yes to the backup. That’s a greeeaaat deal on the Fenty. 👍🏼 Ahhh, Cay Skin Cocoa Cabana is a pretty shade. Retail therapy. It’s real. 

Your Act 4 puts a smile on my face all around!! 😃 Love the salve and the mist! ♥️

[danielledanielle]

Ahhhhh, cocoa cabana ... Thank you @itsfi 

[itsfi]

I have this recollection that a few brands came out with lip balms with coffee / cocoa themes generally around the same time and well, lip balm + coffee / cocoa .... I was intrigued. 😍 But, if you ask me @danielledanielle, I'll just tell you that my recollection is a little fuzzy whether I actually picked up all of them. Mmmm...hmmm. That's what we're going with - fuzzy memory on if I picked any up. 😆 

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi, I like the idea of finding "cocoa" surprises all year long in case you did pick them up.

[CynthieLu]

It's been a long two weeks of flu's and respiratory viruses in our home but of course I still made time to shop the sale 🛍️🎉

Every sale I think I'm going to behave.. but one responsible re-stock order turned into one,two...or three more 😅 😁
