I bought a handful of beauty products this week.

  • Paula's Choice Resist Advanced Replenishing Toner
  • Paula's Choice Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser
  • Paula's Choice Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster
  • Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Biotin Hair Oil

  • Hair Oil Applicator - this looks intriguing.  I saw a similar one on a Doctorly video, so I searched Amazon and found this one.  It's supposed to make applying hair oil to your scalp much neater than applying directly from the bottle.  I plan to try it with my WEN Botanical Hair & Scalp Tonic. I'll include a picture.
  • haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence

Hi ladies 😊. I went to Sephora today and I got a great deal on a fancy lipstick! I purchased the Urban Decay Vice Hydrating Lipstick in the shade "Love Trap"- it was marked 50% off and I got an additional 10% off of it since I'm a Sephora Insider rewards member.  The original price is $21 and I got it for $10.27 including the sales tax. 🤗  All of the shades of the Urban Decay Vice Hydrating lipstick are on sale for 50% off. The "Love Trap" shade is a pretty pink berry color.

@SportyShorty07  - I need to make a trip into the City and go to the Sephora at 2EC.  I like it much better than the one near me and the lighting in 2EC is so much better.

@JudyL  The 2EC Sephora is a great location! I got my Urban Decay Vice lipstick at the Stonestown Mall today. 🙂

Been trying the rare beauty liquid blushes I got from Sephora sale. They are so good. I got 2 mini and a full size. Wearing grateful today which is a pretty red blush. I was looking for an alternative to the rms mini lip to cheek I have in belove. They just dry out so easy. I loved the color and longevity though. Tomorrow I will try out the charm which is a summery coral. I might have to pick up some more of these. They are so good.

I received my Sephora order. The Sephora skin tint Reveal the Real is light coverage and provides some radiance. The new tint is just as good as their previous one. 

 

The Hourglass concealer is very nice. I tossed the Sephora brand that was too orange. Hourglass might become my go-to concealer. 

 

Haven't tried the setting mist or hair mist yet.

Re: Beauty Purchases This Past Week; 4/16/26

I actually bought something. Woman LOL

 

Picked up a couple tubes of Maybelline Great Lash mascara in Dark Brown.  Moving away from black.

 

And I've been wondering if my Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten in Light isn't the right shade for me.

 

Went ahead a ordered Fair and a Pink Buttercream blush (have always used Pink Grapefruit).  Ordered a set (on sale) that included a highlighter and kabuki brush.

 

Anyone notice a difference between these shades?

@just bee  - I've never tried the Fair BnB but LOVE Pink Buttercream.  One of my favorite blushes.  Also love LG's highlighters.  Enjoy all your purchases.

@JudyL 

 

Thanks so much for the feedback.  I'm still "auditioning" the new colors, but they seem to be working out.  The Light was a little too yellow for me.

 

Her products are very forgiving.  Still haven't done much with the highlighter but I think I'll start experimenting...

I have used both those bush shades @just bee .  I am cool complected (is that a real word?🙃) and I use the Pink Buttercream.  The Pink Grapefruit read too orange on me.  Unfortunately her foundations look too yellow on me.  I hope your new shades work out for you!
