[EDIT-Updated to not limit to a year, legacy posts for all years.] A few years ago I was inspired by a challenge on Instagram and we did a makeup inventory. ✨❄️December 2022 Challenge - 12 Days of Makeup Inventory - Show Off and Catalog Your Collection!!❄️✨ I was a little behind on planning this year (job interviews, life, not being able to login to the BIC), so I thought we could make this a yearly challenge for 2024+ and broaden it across all beauty categories. Why participate?I know I went back to my posts to find "dupes" for things that were limited edition (Melt Pumpkin King, in my case).It's a good idea to look through your products every bit to review for quality and cleanliness.Curation is important.Knowing how much in your stash can help with your Low/No Buy or keeping an eye on your backups. The fun of organizing your collection!!Rules Please no negative comments about the size or contents of others' collections, this is a place to celebrate our collections. Self-reflection is always welcome though 💖. Please don't take this as an impetus to declutter (unless you want to!). I'm going to try to get a little contemplative with mine, to see if I would purchase again or not. But don't feel obligated to join that part!! TimelineJanuary - Face Primers, Nail PolishFebruary - Foundations, Concealers, Cleansers and MistsMarch - Bronzers and Contours (singles), Serums and TreatmentsApril - Blushes (singles), Moisturizer and OilsMay - Highlighters (singles), Sheet MasksJune - Face Palettes, Non-Sheet Masks, Tools (Brushes, etc.)July - Eye Primers, Single Eyeshadows (free standing or in custom palettes), Body Cleansers, Body Scrubs, Body Lotion, Body GlitterAugust - Eyeshadow Palettes, Shampoo, ConditionerSeptember - Brow Products, Eyeliners, Mascaras, Hair Treatments October - Lip Balms, Lip Liners, Lip Glosses, Perfume SamplesNovember - Lipsticks, Travel Sized PerfumesDecember - Setting Powders, Setting Sprays, Full Sized Perfumes and Body Sprays

Welcome 👋🏽 They work @Amandabcreates , there aren't any challenges currently running. Usually when there's a new one, there's a thread about it, so keep checking. This is a guess, but the next one may before the the spring sale.

Hello. Ive been a rogue member for a while. I love shopping at Sephora. This year, Ive had a few issues with missing items, damaged items, and have done a few store shade exchanges. I spend thousands a year at Sephora. Recently, I had a lost package, that came weeks later. When I reached out to support, they said "due to too many accommodations they cannot help me". I found that ODD. But then today, i reached regarding a foundation stick frim hourglass becuase it wasnt attached and loose in the container, she first said she would re ship. BUT then came back and said due to too many accommodations theres NOTNING they cannot help do. So basically, all their mistakes have been MY FAULT. Im so disturbed.
