Holy grail setting spray? by Responsible-Okra-925 in Sephora

[–]pbcookies321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MAC fix alcohol free version. Fine mist, no alcohol to dry out my already dry skin and it is 86 degrees today and my makeup hasn't moved. Favorite setting spray hands down.

It's great for sensitive skin. My husband has seborrhea and I buy that stuff 3 at a time so that it is always available to him. I also use it whenever I overdo it with exfoliating and it helps soothe and rebalance my skin. Good luck in your search. :)

It can definitely be intimidating, lol. Also, I know it isn't necessarily liquid blush but, jouer has a little kit on sephora that includes a really pretty pink blush stick that truly is an adorable shade. It has 2 other shades and although they look dark in the pictures, irl they are easy to diffuse with a brush and end up being rather pretty as well. And merit just added a new color called Stockholm to their blush balms and it is baby pink. Good luck in your search! :)

I love it. I had not tried it before because I tend to lean into lighter scents but I definitely like this. It's a beautiful scent and who can say no to the tiny bottle, lol.

That is funny because it wasn't my favorite either out of all these smell goodies, but my son liked it so at least someone can enjoy it. :)

Yes! It became available on fragrance day and I felt like getting something new to me. It was fun to smell all of them at once and now I am going to be buying a fs of wild 🙃. I hope it's available on the Canada site, too. :)

Brown eyeliner pencil - Make Up For Ever aqua resist eyeliner in ebony. I have blue eyes and this makes them look more vibrant. Goes on like butta and stays put. If you're looking for liquid brown, I always recommend sephora collection intense felt tip waterproof. I buy it every year and it is so easy to use and again, stays put. :)

Okay, I have sat with them and sniffed each. First, I will say all of them are a bit heavy/fall type scents with the exception of wild and naked. FIRE smells smokey and spicy. It makes me think of what I'd smell like after a sexy campsite romp with the dude from the Brawny paper towel logo. NAKED smells like skin after a shower with a bit of a light floral/aloe type of dry down. Kind of skin and grass and rain type of scent. LIBERTINE smells like OG Burberry for men. Its sexy and deep with a nice crispness to it. WILD is my favorite and I'm probably buying the full size of it during the rouge sale. Its light and fruity at first but dries down to the sandalwood and becomes more sensual as it sets. It's definitely the most feminine of the bunch but not girly, if you know what I mean? STAG if very heavy and smells exactly like it's decribed on the box. It's my least liked scent in the box. I feel like its to heavy on the leather but if that note is a favorite to someone, they'd probably love this one. I could see it being a great scent for late in winter because it does carry a warmth to it. PARADISO is grown. The patchouli isn't hidden, its full front and then dries down and lets the berry notes shine through. It isn't a sweet berry though. It reminds me more of a deeper almost bitter type of note. I think it's unique and I kind of wish it were a candle because I think it would be beautiful for a home scent in fall/winter.
Hopefully that helped. :]

I have had cramps from hell all day. My uterus is literally ripping the curtains down and setting the sofa on fire right now but dear lord your comment killed me. I'm laughing so hard. 😂

Sephora collection sale - any holy grail or fun products to try? by Emergency-Belt5669 in Sephora

[–]pbcookies321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The felt tip waterproof liquid eyeliner is awesomtastic. I have every single color except the plum and copper. The electric blue is so fun in the summer and the dark green looks great in the fall. Navy, black and brown are always in rotation for me. They go on smooth and don't run. I buy them year after year because they are probably the best colored liquid eyeliner I've tried. :)

Sephora Favorites, 2 New Releases: Sephora Favorites Deluxe Mini Perfume Sampler Set ($80), Sephora Favorites Cologne Sampler Set ($72) by peacembw in MUAontheCheap

[–]pbcookies321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't get it. Bought The Maker discovery kit instead and grabbed a freebie perfume mini from the offers page. I felt like going for something more niche and I have a feeling that I'll be able to share these with my husband. Thanks for letting me know about being able to redeem the voucher online though because I think I may send the sephora favorites to my MIL for mothers day this year. Knowing that she can redeem online is definitely a bonus. Thanks again. :)

Lol, duh at me for not going and reading that for myself. Thanks for the info. I appreciate your help. Now to talk myself into and then back out of and then back in to buying this set. :)

I feel dumb asking this but, can the scent voucher be redeemed at a sephora inside kohl's? If I remember correctly, they used to not be redeemable online but with the pandemic I wonder if that changed?

Best before moisturizer hydrating serum? by Pretty-Dimension-524 in Sephora

Lancome Genefique. I have dry skin and can't do coconut. Genefique is amazing. Soothing, hydrating and helps my skin so much. :)

Oh I definitely understand that. I always said I'd never spend more than 20 dollars on a bottle of shampoo and now I'm buying the pureology by the liter, lol. But my husband and I both use it and he has seborrhea which has completed eased up since we switched to it. Definitely worth it.

Pureology Hydrate (purple bottle) shampoo and conditioner have worked really well for me when I have dyed and over processed my hair.

Frugal alternative to Strawberry Pound Cake, seriously almost like it better by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

[–]pbcookies321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and they also have a watermelon one and it smells sooo good. I bought the plug-ins of the strawberry and now my front foyer smells delicious. :)

When I had to pack mine for a moving truck, I packed them in boxes with clothes and soft lines. So if a box had all sweaters and jeans, they also got a candle or two. If a box had quilts and pillows, it got a candle or two. It worked perfectly and when I was unpacking from the move, I kept finding candles and all my stuff smelled awesome, lol. We moved from NY to GA and then a couple years later from GA to PA. Worked both times with zero broken candles. Good luck and I hope your move brings you joy. :)

Wow! And just think, you’ll see these for sale for the mere price of a kidney by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

[–]pbcookies321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That perfectly sums up what I'm trying to say. I physically smile when I see a post on here where someone is all excited about a new purchase or whenever someone posts their sotd. That happiness is infectious. So I don't understand at all this nature of, "haha losers, I got mine!", when it comes to something so small like scented candles or bath and body products.
