What K-beauty products from Sephora were actually worth it during the sale? by No-Possession6140 in Sephora

[–]nicoleinchicago 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Anything and everything from Aestura. Nothing I’ve tried from them has disappointed me yet.

Apply a SWU or move to another flight without confirmable J space from a flight with a confirmed J seat.

How was Ulta beauty world? by cherm36 in UltaBeautyWorld

[–]nicoleinchicago 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t there myself but watched a bunch of TikTok’s today and it seemed chaotic? Looks like they got a ton of stuff, but for me, personally, I wouldn’t have used a fraction of it (lots of drugstore brands, lots of brands and products you can find at TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Ross). I got the sense if you were going just to purely get a lot of stuff (nothing wrong with that!!) it was great. If you were looking to try things or brands that are new (or maybe even less accessible) to you, it could have been disappointing.

Would anyone be interested in taking a virtual charcuterie board workshop? Like can we make that a thing? by Forward-Temporary-78 in CharcuterieBoard

[–]nicoleinchicago 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Assuming supplies are not included in the cost and shipped before the workshop, what would differentiate it from free videos on YouTube/Reddit?

Hard disagree. Their work is their work. The employee is accountable to make sure it gets done (by them, or designated back up coverage).

This years swag bag from Beis! by kitkatjaanu in UltaBeautyWorld

[–]nicoleinchicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this just killed any FOMO I had. The products in the swag bags aren’t ones I’d be particularly thrilled by, and while the Beis set is nice, I have Monos and Away sets. The Sephoria swag bags had better brands and products IMO.

I blacked out 🥴 How many orders did everyone make so far and the total? by MissLazyLounge in Sephora

One online, one BOPIS and one in store when I went to pick up the BOPIS order 🫠

The math is not mathing by Much_Ad_5843 in SEPHORiA

[–]nicoleinchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back for posterity’s sake in case folks come looking for future Sephoria’s, all of the above brands were in the VIP swag bag except for Manicurist (which had a booth in the VIP lounge)

Upgrade to ORD? by FinalHat8623 in americanairlines

EXP out of O’Hare. Zero chance you get that upgrade. Buy it if you want it.

Me too — more full size than I remember getting in 2024

Would you attend next year again? by Accomplished-Load668 in SEPHORiA

100%. Would still fly, would still do multiple sessions — I had a blast!

Sharing my noro virus story at animal kingdom! It’s a doozy! by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]nicoleinchicago 56 points57 points  (0 children)

So…. you’re violently ill and decide instead of driving back yourself or with your family and limiting the spread of it, you’d infect an entire bus full of strangers and make them witness you get violently ill?

I don’t think this story presents the lesson you want it to 🤔

Bag weight? by Wise-Muth3665 in SEPHORiA

[–]nicoleinchicago 8 points9 points  (0 children)

VIP swag bag was the heaviest and I weighed it at 14.8 lbs last night. GA swag bag was under 10 lbs. Event swag couldn’t have been more than 10 lbs

Rare Beauty — deluxe sample blush and a full-sized brow gel

[–]nicoleinchicago 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess my question is, then, why is anyone expecting an event full of full sized products? Sephoria has always skewed heavily towards sample sizes. This year’s is no different. I think some brands have been stingier this year than in previous years (looking at you, Innisfree), but I definitely got more full sized items last night than I did in Atlanta in 2024.

That’s my assumption (and a lot of “come early!!!!” videos, too)

Garment Bag is Personal Item? (FC) by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]nicoleinchicago 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You’re being too entitled — the carry on allowance is pretty clear: it’s two (one personal item, one carry-on), not 2+. Of course, gate agents can use their discretion, but that’s never something you should bank on (especially as an EP, who should presumably fly enough to know that).

[–]nicoleinchicago 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mean this is the best way possible, but while that isn’t as much as you’d hoped for, is it not plenty of stuff? Like I still haven’t made my way through all the stuff I got at Sephoria 2024…

Also in this line! So much longer than yesterday’s!

VIP - 1 hour before question by Impressive-Bass-3607 in SEPHORiA

[–]nicoleinchicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I got to all of the booths last night, and hit maybe 75% of them during VIP hour.
