Small Sephora Haul and Teal Blue EOTD

So hella weeks ago was the Sephora 15% off sale for beauty insiders, and Iyah reminded me that if I shopped through the website via ebates (don't have ebates? ask me for an invite! haha comment with your e-mail address) that I'd save more with their cash back! And since it was before Mother's Day, ebates raised the Sephora.com cash back from 4% to 8%, so it's like I saved 23%, woot woot!

I didn't haul a lot though, this is what I got...



♥ Boscia Willow Bark Breakout Treatment To Go
♥ Korres Thyme Honey Moisturizer
♥ Korres Guava Body Butter

However, I'm going to return the Korres moisturizer because I realized it has alcohol (the drying kind) in it. =( Plus I actually picked up a sample of the Korres moisturizer before my order arrived, and it was aiight. And the scent is not even that great (especially in comparison to the Skin Food Peach Sake scent). So...I'm still on the hunt for my next moisturizer.


The Korres Guava Body Butter also contains alcohol. WTF, Korres?! What is the point of being a natural product if you're going to ruin it...*sigh*...but...since I got it on sale, I decided to keep it since I do like the scent, it's very tropical (although it does NOT smell like guava, smells more like coconut) and makes me feel ready for summer!


The Boscia Willow Bark Breakout Treatment To Go (whew) is something I want to try because I don't break out often but once a month I do. The price is affordable and I was debating between this one or the Juice Beauty Blemish Be Gone ...but I prefer this rubber applicator tip compared to the Juice Beauty rollerball applicator (a reviewer said she didn't like having her zit juice rolled back into her product...eww). I also like that this is a natural product, it's alcohol-free, non-drying, and 100% natural fragrance. As for its effectiveness...we'll see...sometime next month, haha.


Now...I made these videos some time ago and they're actually my first tutorial videos. But, they were a pain to edit since they were my first and I was just really self conscious and talked too much! haha But I felt I should post especially after seeing Kay's recent blue EOTD.

Kay had asked me about the Skin Food mask sheets so I tried the Pomegranate one that NingStar had given me.


I liked that it came in two pieces so it fit my face very well, and it had a lot of serum.


I realized after I took this pic I was supposed to squeeze the serum pack before opening it, whoops! Here's the back side so you can see what the mask is for (and diagrams of how to use it, haha).


The mask seemed luxurious, very rich, the scent was nice and light, it didn't sting...but the serum was too rich and didn't completely absorbed into my skin. After using it, my face still felt sticky after a while. I know Skin Food is hotness in Korea and really cheap to haul over there...so I'll try my other Skin Food mask sheets this week and will let you know what I think!

For sure Kay, I say you haul The Face Shop mask sheets...particularly the Q10 one! =)

Peace!!
