Every good Sephora reward is always sold out before I see it, however I was able to snag the full size Becca champagne pop highlighter for 750 points! I’m so excited since I don’t have that one and I feel like it was a good use of points.

Oooh that is good! I have that highlighter and it's a good one. It's definitely the blingy-est one I own and super fun to wear.

You had me at “blingy-est”! I can’t wait to get it!

Sephora sent me a code for 15% off today. It's 8% on ebates. AND, I can convert 90 reward dollars to a $100 Sephora gift card.

Dammit. They are pulling me in!

[robinsbff]

I have a funny. I ordered some COSRX Advanced Snail All in One cream. When I got the package, H asked what it was and I said pretty much, snail mucin. He was like, "Ewwwww." Last night I had on The Ordinary's AHA/BHA mask and H asked, "What is that...snail blood?" LOL! At least he listens

I’ve been playing with my Gwen palette for a couple days. Man, I forgot how awesome it is.

[mortomo]

I was watching a Hot and Flashy favorites video and she had Curology as a favorite. It's a prescription acne and anti-aging cream that is made specifically for each person's needs (no need for a derm as they have medical professionals that analyze your skin needs via a survey and pics) . I got it today and am excited to use it. My face has been breaking out and I'm always happy to use anti aging products.

Does anybody have a dry shampoo that isn't scented?  or at least doesn't smell like Axe for Chicks or Old Lady Handbag Perfume or like some sort of Baby Powder/Toilet Bowl cleaner mashup?

[calico]

wawa , I think the Tresemme one smells like mangos or some other tropical-ish fruit. I don't know if they still make it, but the Oscar Blandi clear dry shampoo smells like jet fuel. But I doubt that is what you're looking for.

ETA: I could be confusing the tresseme one with sauve. I can't remember.

It's one of my all time favorites.  I've thought about panning it next year, but I'm not sure I want it to be gone.

It was my deserted island palette until Born to Run, now I'm torn between them.

I’ve been trying out Curology since June, deciding how I feel about it. Their customer service is blah, but the provider I have always responds quickly and has been open to changes (I’ve asked for graudual increases in my tret). The product itself is easy to be apply and feels nice - I’ve done say the antibiotic cream before and I hated the consistency. This consistency is so nice. I did purge (and I’m not one to purge normally), and I was on differin before, but my skin has seen long term improvement. My doubt is that I could get a peespecription from my doctor and it’s be less costly, but that’s fine and energy (lol) plus the creams are never as nice ha.

Curious what you think of it.

I feel like I’ve seen the eye palettes at Rack, although maybe not ina while.

The blush palette is SO DAMN GOOD. I haven’t been using it bc I never want it to be gone, but I need to pull it out again.

Because,

I used it last night for the first time and when I woke up this morning my face felt warm and was red and blotchy.  It still kind of feels that way.  I hope that I just have to get used to it. The product itself goes on nicely.

I do not need more lip colors. But the Urban Decay friends and family sale has me with 6 of their liquid lipsticks in my cart. I love the formula. So much. And they are 9 bucks. And then 25% off on top of that with free shipping. I mean. Come on. I can’t not order them. Right??

Hold off. There are tons of UD liquid at Rack if you need them.

At least get through culling what you have!

True powdery dry shampoos aren't scented. I've used Klorane and Redken. Kind of a pain to apply but I find they work better than sprays.

I do love Batiste's original scent, though. Lemony but not overpowering.

Not Your Mother's has an unscented one in the Clean Freak line. I haven't tried it yet. I'm currently working through the Hask lineup searching for a dry shampoo I like that is cruelty free and not expensive. If you like coconut and need a not drying formula, Hask has a coconut one that I love the smell of, plus is available at my local Walgreens.

Yeah, you'll probably get use to it. I had a little peeling, but that got better pretty fast thankfully. I did take it super slow, backing off use some nights.

I got a Mac mascara sample, I’m not sure if it is what’s causing my eyes to be a desert or if it’s somethibg else.

[persa]

I can't believe I missed the Ulta points multiplier. H wanted a Clinique moisturizer that he seems to like (and ordered from Amazon last time!) and I went to order it the other night and the points promo had expired. Boo. It would have taken me to 2000 points!

I ended up ordering it from sephora and got myself the Sephora waterproof gel eyeliner for tightlining and the CT sample promo.

Ooooh, ambient lighting powders are my favorite! Although in the past, the palettes with 6 shades have always been very small (like too small to properly fit a powder brush). I have one with three shades and it is good sized.

[dreamcrisp1]

Is hair related? I want my hair to be long again. I cut all of it off in February and I miss it sometimes. It was waist length and I cut it to chin length. It’s now like 2 inches below collarbone but not long enough yet.

I’m ridiculously excited that my DH wants my help starting up a simple skincare routine. We’re going to start masking tonight, should be fun lol.

We do masks most Sunday nights together. Lol. I haven’t gotten him to try a sheet mask yet but he loves ones that peel off.

[tiramisu]

I just got a mini facial today and my skin feels SO happy. One of the masks she used was powdered kale with colloidal oatmeal and one other thing mixed with goat's milk yogurt, rose geranium water, and goldenseal. I'm in love with it already. I'm starting with just the kale mixture, but I'm sure I'll be going back for some other things. Now I need to get a mini whisk, a good fan or foundation brush, and a small glass bowl so it's easier to prep.

I buy mine his own sheet masks and sometimes we do mud wash-off ones.
