Sephora

I was wondering if they had something where I can get stuff for free WITHOUT having to buy anything else like the all de janeiro perfume

Going with a floral theme for this month's stampers, to honor (i) 100 years of Black history commemorations, (ii) Valentine's Day, (ii) the Lunar New Year, and (iv) the Winter Olympics / Paralympics. Music-therapy: I spent a lot of time learning the lyrics to the songs nominated for Song of the Year for this year's Grammy Awards while putting together this month's wellness board, but I didn't actually watch the Grammy's or its red carpet arrivals when it aired. I've been watching clips of a few of the performances here and there this week. So far, I've watched:Olivia Dean's "Man I Need"Lauryn Hill's tribute to D'Angelo and Roberta FlackLola Young's "Messy"Neuvo para ti (New to you): I've tried a few new things this first week of February, but the most recent that folks here would probably find of interest is the Roz hair oil and Laneige lip stains. RŌZ Santa Lucia Heat Protectant Styling Hair Oil 2 oz / 60 ml SpoilerThis mini was a promo gwp and it is absolutely darlin' - yes, I'm someone who gets drawn in by cute packaging and this is super cute. But, it can't be about the packaging alone - there's gotta be some substance to the thing. And, is there?I think so, at least based on my initial use. I will say that this hair oil is very lightweight and watery. I was in store yesterday, picking up a gift card, looking into a shade match and seeing about getting some samples of said shade match, doing some swatching, which subsequently lead to some unplanned purchases, but not for me ... yet. A rep for the brand was in store so I took the opportunity to ask her a little about the oil and learned (1) to not be fooled by how light and thin the formula was and (2) that with my hair type (fine strands, just a lot of strands), one pump would likely be plenty and that I should start with no more than one pump and really work the product into my hair. That turned out to be very helpful to know.This cute little mini does not come with a pump, which make sense given the size and that it's a promo. So I tried to pour out just a teensy bit - ummm, easier said than done, but I did my best. I understand what the rep meant by a little goes a long way. It leaves my hair with a bit of shine, not greasy. I like that it acts as a heat protectant as well.The scent has been described as that of an "untamed California garden." Ummmm .... as a born and bred Californian, I will say that it is not a flower garden. I would describe the scent as having a fresh, ever so slightly sweet, clean, green (but not leafy), woody quality to it. It's pleasant; I'll pick up remnants of the scent here and there while my hair is damp but it disappears completely once my hair is dry. Still too early to tell whether this is something I'd eventually purchase as a full size but so far, so good.

LANEIGE JuicePop Box Lip Oil Stain 12HR Hydrating Tint SpoilerAlso new-to-me, did some swatching of the new Laneige lip stains and ended up getting these two as gifts and then treating myself to a salted caramel soft serve at a new-to-me pizza place a few doors down from a new remodeled Sephora near me. I've never had salted caramel soft-serve. 😋 There are about 8 shades in the new Laneige lip stain series; 4 caught my eye online, the swatches of about 6 of the 8 made me go "ohhhh!" Everyone got soft serve and a couple of folks got their own lip stains and pizzas. I will get lip stains of my own once I narrow down what shades I want (read: I can't get 6 of them 😆).Also new-to-me, did some swatching of the new Laneige lip stains and ended up getting these two as gifts and then treating myself to a salted caramel soft serve at a new-to-me pizza place a few doors down from a new remodeled Sephora near me.

I was looking forward to it because on some level I knew having some time to just chat and laugh would be good for the soul; it was even better than I could have expected.

Hi @Hazel242009, thank you for reaching out and your passion for Sephora! At this time, we only have information for Sephora US and Canada. However, we value your support and hope to continue expanding our Sephora locations.

Hi @arstern97 and welcome to BIC! Sounds like you have very dry and sensitive undereyes like I do. (The rest of my face is mostly-dry combo; my oily zone’s just on and around my nose.) Does that skin get flaky, in addition to burning? You might wanna see a dermatologist or other medical doctor about that, if you can. It could just be your full face moisturizer irritating the skin around your eyes (contact dermatitis), but if there’s an underlying skin condition, it’s best to know about that so you’ll know how to treat it going forward. Meanwhile: have you tried using plain ol’ Vaseline or another petrolatum balm as an eye cream? I sometimes have to apply it along my lower lash line before bed to avoid waking up with angry flakies there. Petrolatum’s the most occlusive (water loss preventing) moisturizing skincare ingredient available (aside from hydrocolloid patches), and it’s unlikely to irritate skin. Tap a little water on your undereye skin to get it damp—not soaking wet—then apply Vaseline to seal in hydration. You could also try layering a facial oil under Vaseline to help smooth any flakiness and add an extra layer of moisturization. For that, I recommend either The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil for Skin Elascicity 1 oz/ 30 mL or The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane for Skin and Hair Hydration 1 oz/ 30 mL . You won’t need to use much: one drop of either of those two oils is plenty enough to cover both undereyes, with some oil left over to use elsewhere (the skin around your fingernails, for instance).

@sephoragirl67 @Have you seen a derm yet?

@AnnMB1 @Sephora employee here Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Refillable Moisturizer with Niacinamide it’s for the day time but you can use it at night Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hydra Vizor Refillable Invisible Face Moisturizer SPF 30 with Niacinamide 1.7 oz/ 50 mL

I found the Bond Repair S&C was a miss for me. The first few washes weren't bad, but if I ended up finding that if I used it more than once in a row my hair was pretty weighed down and my roots got greasy pretty quickly. And I'm someone who washes my hair daily. @Mellmars1185 I did hear that you can get the Feria conditioner on its own now! I have quite a few hair masks but I'm sure I'll be trying that at some point. I've always loved the conditioners that come with hair dye kits!

@Shosh85 your nail collection looks amazing! 😍
