If you didn't know, Sephora's Chic Week is currently going on. (April 12 - April 21) During this time, everything at Sephora is 15% off both online and in-stores. Sephora usually only offers discounts twice a year, so it's a great time to try out new products or stock up on favorites. Luckily, I also had a gift card - so it combined with the sale allowed me to mark off a lot of my wishlist for a small out-of-pocket cost. I purchased:
Caudalie Beauty Elixir
This has been on my wishlist for so long. Most everyone in the beauty community has raved about this product. I always put off purchasing it because of the high price tag and I never really understood the concept. But so far, so good - I like the herbal scent and the refreshing feel it leaves behind.
Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish
Remember my last Chic Week haul? (It was my first time trying Soap & Glory products.) Once I got past the overwhelming smell and childish packing, I really liked the products. I used all of them up and I've made a few repurchases since. I decided to try something new. I've only used this body polish once; I enjoyed the signature Soap & Glory scent and the fact that the product is coarse but not abrasive. However, I didn't see or feel much of a difference in my skin with the first use.
Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream
I've purchased the full-size tube twice. This time around, I wanted a small tube to keep in my purse. This really is a great, reasonably-priced hand cream that is worth the hype.
Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil in DEA
I purchased this once before but never got to use it. (It broke/melted in the mail, so I ended up returning it... I should've taken that as a sign.) Some of my drugstore concealers work equally as well, if not better.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Travel Duo Fragrance Set
I'm so weird and picky when it comes to perfumes. Every time I visit a beauty or department store, I would always "test" this perfume. I've always liked it, but I didn't completely love it. Regardless, I finally purchased my own little bottle. This set was the best value .75oz of perfume for $35. (The .68oz spray is $50!) I still really like the perfume but I'm afraid it doesn't work with my body chemistry. It smells great when I spray it on in the morning - a floral scent with a touch of herbs. But by the end of the night, the perfume smells like a cheap, musty, vanilla scent.
All in all, I'm happy I finally marked off the majority of my high-end beauty wishlist. I'm going to try out these products for another week or two; I might end up returning a few or they may make it to my April Favorites ~ stay tuned!
