I love that Bite Multi stick and have it in a mini. Id probably purchase more to use for lipstick rather than an amouse bouche lipstick 🙂 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

The BITE multi-stick is great @Buootiful! 💖 I’m kicking myself for not reaching for it earlier.

@itsfi So many things here that I'm waiting patiently to get my hands on!  I have the 'beachy' version of the shower gel on my list, have you tried both scents? Glad to hear that the Milk mask has been a love as well! 

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, the beachy scented shower jelly is the next one on my list; I’m planning on getting it during the sale. 😃 The Milk brightening mask is a nice one - love how portable the packaging is as well. 👍🏼

[missjeanie]

I think they'll both be on my list for the sale @itsfi !

[BrendaBT]

Ouuuuh I've been wanting to try that Sephora Collection shower jelly! I'm so glad you like it, thank you for sharing 🙂 

[itsfi]

@BrendaBT @LexBT  the Sephora Collection shower jelly is worth trying. I’ve repurchased this pink one and plan to pick up the other one during the sale.

[LexBT]

Same!!! Okay, may have to try it now.

@itsfi I ended up buying that beauty blender as well, but have not used it yet. Have you used yours? Does the color bleed or wash out?

[itsfi]

@skcfan, there’s just the slightest color that comes out of the beautyblender when I initially washed it. I typically wash my beautyblenders two or three times before using it. I didn’t experience any color bleeding afterwards.

It's that time of year when I start getting terrible tan lines, and I'm loving my latest Sephora purchase, ST. TROPEZ TANNING ESSENTIALS - Gradual Tan Everyday Tinted Body Lotion since after a few uses, my legs are now almost the same color as my arms. It's super easy to use, especially with the self tanning mitt.

The change to warmer temperatures always makes my combination skin more oily, but PETER THOMAS ROTH - 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser and BOSCIA - Charcoal Pore Pudding Intensive Wash-Off Treatment keep my skin balanced.

I've also been curious about CBD beauty products, and I love the herbal, minty MILK MAKEUP - KUSH Lip Balm.

I've been interested in checking out more clean products, and since I was needing a new eye cream, I got YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Superfood Peptide Eye Cream which pretty much has the same ingredients in my favorite green smoothies--spinach and kale. It's a bit thicker than I'm used to, but I like using this at night. 

Also loving HERBIVORE - Jade Facial Roller

Finally, I got my first Perk Facial at Sephora, which I loved. I try to get to a spa for a facial every 6-8 weeks, and now I may alternate Perk Facials with my spa facials. After all, you can't beat free with $75 purchase, even though it's a little weird getting a facial in the middle of a Sephora store. 

I don't think I made a single makeup purchase during the month, just skincare. But I do really like my little TOM FORD - Lip Color - Casablanca GWP. And my most used lipstick this month is still last month's favorite purchase, Charlotte Tilbury's '90s-inspired limited edition lipstick in Super Model.

[itsfi]

So happy you got a Perk Facial @txcatx! I got one late last year and loved it. I've been meaning to get another one!

[missjeanie]

@txcatx I just found out the Milk lip balm comes in colours now!  I'm very excited to try some out!  Thanks for the great recomendation!

[BrendaBT]

@txcatx Tom Ford Casablanca is one of my favorite shades and formulas of all time! 😄

@BrendaBT How do you prefer to use the Watermelon Glow mist? I have it in my cart in preparation for the spring sale, but I'm having a hard time predicting how I'll incorporate it into my routine. 

[cianni]

@tastelikewater I have similar products and I find they do a nice job of prepping my skin for more skincare, so I use it after cleansing and before a mask or toner. I’m noticing my moisturizers absorb better! Watermelon is also supposed to help control oil and minimize pores (jury is still out on that one, but I do feel less oily/greasy after all my moisturizers have absorbed so maybe there’s something to it🤔)

[tastelikewater]

Thanks @cianni ! I sprayed the mist in-store and it smells incredible, but that can't be my only reason for buying it 😄 I'm glad to know that it's such a versatile product. 

[Buootiful]

I tried it at the store and loved it!! Im getting it at the sale as well to put in my bag for the summer 🙂

[BrendaBT]

@tastelikewater I absolutely love the smell, and the mist is very light and refreshing. I was hesitant to try it at first because says it gives your skin a glowing radiance, I have oily skin so I was scared it would make me look too dewy, but after reading more about it and trying it on it actually gives me a nice natural look. I've been using it everyday after I put my makeup on in the morning and after 6-7 hours my makeup still looks good and not melting off my face like it usually does. I also like using it without makeup just to refresh my skin throughout the day. 🙂 

[tastelikewater]

@BrendaBT That sounds wonderful, thanks!

Can't believe it's time for March Faves already!

 I have still been totally obsessed with the new NATASHA DENONA - Bloom Blush & Glow PaletteIt's the prettiest colors and the cream blush gives the best flush! If anyone has suggestions for cream blushes with a similar formula I am all ears!!!!

Have also been loving Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL

smells amazing and I love the mister on this - doesn't aggressively spray or drench you
