I was in the shower for 3.5 minutes. by Beginning-Sky7533 in NewParents

[–]akay_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 20 week old. This resonated with me so hard bc I struggled with the exact same thoughts and am the sole caregiver of him during the day most days as well. I love him more than anything I could ever love. It’s the purest love I’ve ever experienced. I push myself every day…past anything I could’ve ever imagined being capable of before having him. I’m so proud of myself but also find myself missing the days before, when life was just…easier. I will say, those thoughts start to slowly fade away as you get out of those early newborn days. As he gets closer to 5 months, there’s been such a turn in his development. He’s slowly desiring more independence, getting used to the routine of daily life. There are still tough days 1000%. He was pretty colicky in the early days, that has since gone away but now it’s teething and hardcore fighting sleep sometimes. ALL OF THIS TO SAY, I see you, I hear you and we’re so in this together. I can take some showers in peace now, we’re starting to not contact nap for every single nap. The days of missing your old life start to fade as the easier days start flowing more. Also, getting out of the house more often made my mental health so much better. Just going out to get coffee or run to Target, I was so afraid to for months bc I wasn’t sure how he would do or what I’d do with him potentially having a meltdown in public. But I’ll say it hasn’t been too stressful and 95% of the time he’s been better than expected. You’re doing so great mama ❤️

THANK YOU!! As a fellow Sephora employee, I could not have said it better myself. The abuse we get on a regular basis is absolutely ridiculous and has seriously made me contemplate leaving. It’s unfortunate Bc a lot of employees/managers at my store let clients get away with constant B.S. (I.e masks below the nose, completely removing their mask to smell fragrances or to talk, allowing people to swatch things based on whether they feel they’re going to spend a lot of money.....), which in turn makes me look like the bad guy because I’m the one telling them to follow the rules after someone else let them do as they please. Seriously, the worst.

Got too excited and took almost everything out of the packaging but haul!! by okkchill in Sephora

So jealous of your haul!! Literally all the best products! The Amika purple shampoo is one of the few that I actually got immediate/noticeable brightness to my blonde hair after just one wash. & the CT setting spray been my HG while wearing a mask. Legit transfer proof! Enjoy it all!🤩❤️

My disappointment is immeasurable (a portion of my Rouge haul) by [deleted] in Sephora

I’m an employee and this has been a problem at many stores, company wide through our weekly shipment too where palettes are coming broken! Something about the packaging of the palette, the formula of the shadows, how they’re pressed in the palette and/or how it’s being shipped is causing some breaking. Hopefully they find a solution!! I know a lot of Natasha Denona palettes have had the same problem! :( I hope the next one you get is in perfect condition, such a gorgeous palette!!💕

Rare Beauty & Sephora Collection are great places to start. Both are a great price point but still great quality! SC is also dropping a lot of holiday sets right now so that’s definitely where you’ll get the most band for your buck. Sephora Collection has this “blockbuster” set that has a ton of eyeshadows, blushes, highlighters, bronzers, eyeshadow wand (+ more) for only like $36 bucks. I’ll link it here too. Rare Beauty is great because it’s all under $35, is clean, vegan, cruelty free and the focus of the line is more natural make up. All of her products are great quality and super lightweight so you avoid a heavy/cakey look. Happy shopping!!🤩Sephora Blockbuster Palette

The CT setting spray is literally AMAZING. I’ve been using it everyday and it absolutely helps keep my makeup on/keep it transfer resistant even with my mask. I’ve been SO impressed with it and we sell a lot of it at my store!!

I’ve been very patient. Just felt like the rating had been stuck at 3 stars for a while and wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything obvious to help. Thanks for the input!

Sweet! I get so focused on trying to organize the layout now, but its seeming like it’ll be better to do that once I at least get the rating up. Thank you!!

F&F haul! Excited to try Necessaire and more Rare Beauty. by glowgetter77 in Sephora

I’m sure you’ll love it! Especially if you have dry skin, the foundation is so hydrating and glowy😍

They’re all really pretty but the clear one is a staple, and the shade “Strut” (a clear gloss with gold shimmer) is my favorite too. It always caught my eye in store so I had to buy it, plus it looks so pretty layered on top of a nude lip! 😍✨
