First Sephora purchase

bmorechick · ‎03-11-2010

I've posted often that I'm a minimalist with makeup, fragrance and hair products. So I have only been in a Sephora store once and was kind of overwhelmed as I was unfamiliar with many of the brands. Quickly left. Ulta can be that way too, so anything I may want from Ulta I grab online. I was reading posts about 50% off some stuff at Sephora and thought I would see if they had anything for my grandaughter. Well, they did and I grabbed something for her.

Anyway, I have not worn fragrance since the 90's as I was am Amazing Grace girl and it kind of went down the tubes after Coty purchased it. I get headaches from a lot of fragrance, so I just quit wearing it. However, Sephora had a seven vial trial mini rollerball set of NEST fragrance for 32$ and I thought if it's too much, I will pass along to grandaughter. Can I tell you that I loved every scent in the package which is so unlike me. They were fragrant, but light and airy. Beautiful fragrances. My favorite is Black Tulip and I also like the Lychee Rose which isn't that typical rose scent. I will try all of them and hope I don't get a headache. 🤕

I know - I'm late to the party

@bmorechick - Amazing Grace is my #1 fragrance and it hasn't changed for me since Coty bought it. I still get compliments to this day. Why don't you try AG again?

Congratulations! Fragrance can make us feel so many different ways and evoke wonderful memories and relaxation. I went ham this weekend and bought four fragrances. One was a repurchase. I almost never buy full size fragrances anymore. Buying the travel size allows me to discover more scents. Wearing perfume to bed is nice too, just be sure and wear one that is conducive to sleep. Soft, powdery and vanilla scents work for this. I've never bought Nest fragrances. I don't know why, some of them sound really nice. Maybe I will someday

@monicakm Yes, travel or mini sizes would definitely be for me as I will still be an every now and then wearer. After my night shower, I prefer my fresh soapy smell. But definitely after my morning shower, I'm going to branch out. Look out co-workers - I'm coming in with perfume - I can hear them now..."is that you smelling so good" 😊

@San Antonio Gal I bought the parfume two Christmases ago. While it smelled amazing in the bottle and when I sprayed, after about 3 hours it had disappeared on my skin.

Believe me back in the day, the maintenance and supply guys at work followed me sniffing. "I apologize but jeeze you smell so good." I tested it on my husband when I first bought it again. After a while I asked do you smell my perfume? "I don't smell anything." Neither did I.

I often spritz on Amazing Grace before bed. When I wake up it's so pleasant to catch a soft whiff.
