Sephora Friends & Family Haul

Spoiler

Have had my eye on the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Go Mat for Recovery and Stress Reduction for some time. The combination of the Friends & Family discount, a gift card I received earlier this year from @TeamBIC (thank you, thank you!) and several gift cards that I've squirreled (love this term @jaaayp) away for the last 12-18 months meant that I was able pick this up without coming out of pocket! 🙌  Will this be helpful or is it just hype? I'll find out soon enough.

"The Rewards Bazaar Got Me" Haul

Spoiler

I first learned of Deco Beauty at SEPHORiA 2023: NYC - they were providing nail art to attendees and I was game for it! 💅 I've purchased different sheets of their nail stickers since then (they're some of the easiest to apply 👍) and when I saw this sheet in the Rewards Bazaar, I had to pick it up (I see we are haul twinsies with this nail stick sheet @caitbird - excited to see the beautiful mani you create with them, and to hear your thoughts on how they perform!. The stickers look super cute. I may actually pick up a couple more - a backup for me and some as gifts. 🎁  Since I needed to place a purchase to redeem these stickers, I went with - 

Ami Colé Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil Happy - I really enjoy the formula on these lip oils and really just needed a reason to pick up this new shade.

Hanni The Fatty, Fatty Acid Moisture Stick for moisture barrier 2.5 oz / 70 g 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Essential Brush - 08 Eyeshadow - going to see how this compares to my favorite #15 brush

The "Had To Have It" Haul

Guerlain x Pucci

Not a haul right now, but .... maybe later? 😉

The new Maison Francis Kurdijian scent comes out next month, which is just a few days away! I wasn't able to attend an event but my SA was kind enough to send me a sample of APOM (A Part Of Me) - love the name. Something about this scent smells very familiar to me, but I can't quite place it ... yet. @curlychiquita

Initial impressions of my experience over the last 5 days have been posted to the It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edit Thread. Will update that thread periodically as I incorporate it into a weekly wind down routine and experiment with the different settings.

@itsfi  The infamous light therapy mat!!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and if it works! I need to read up on this!! 

Those stickers are so cute!!! I can’t wait to see all the manis you do with them!

Ooooo Ami Cole has a new colour!!!! It looks so pretty. I bet it will look so pretty on you!!! 

Such a perfect haul!!! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather! Going to give the mat a few more uses. The stickers are fun - so many great ones to choose from in this sheet. A few of my nails hit a rough patch and started breaking 😣 but better now and all are about the same length now. I was surprised Ami Cole released this one, they were not due for a new shade until later this year / early next - a very pretty red. 😍

[jaaayp]

Hehe @itsfi I believe I gotta tag @ather as she and I are definitely squirrels squirreling 😂

I always love your hauls @itsfi it's always so esthetically pleasing 👀👀👀

[ather]

@jaaayp  Thanks for the tag! Squirrels need to squirrel!!! 

[itsfi]

“squirrels squirreling” lol, I love it @jaaayp @ather 

awww, thank you jaaayp! I’m hauling less (or at least I think I am??) both in terms of frequency and volume. Less retail therapy purchases, for sure, which for me, is a very good thing 👍🏼 Trying to, at least; though I put more effort into trying on some days, and others, not as much 😝 

[jaaayp]

That's good @itsfi !!! I think we definitely can overdo and overconsume sometimes! It feels almost like we dont appreciate that one VIP blush or bronzer or eyeshadow pallet since we have so many choices! (The core idea of minimalism) Says me, who just picked up like 5 blushes in one haul LOL 

BUT imo, I've been hauling less so it's just all at once... hehehe

@ather I can definitely agree that it's hard to resist when new launches come... unless I missed it, I noticed neither you, me or @itsfi picked up the new Tower 28 Beauty GetSet® Blur + Set Talc-Free 12H Pressed Setting Powder KUDOS FOR USSSSSS 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌
