A new Sephora opened near me, and it was so cool to see the more expanded version of the Rhode gondola! It’s also the most stocked I’ve seen Rhode 💕

I loveeee the mirror, I can’t wait to take selfies when I visit 🫶🏻

Disappointed 2 out of 3 blushes lean orange. Most blushes turn orange on me as it is. This is the Hope palette and it’s what I was eyeing the most. 😕

Light-medium is on the left, medium-deep on the right. What do we think? I thought I was getting the medium-deep but the shades look a bit dark for my liking.

I really like the Brewed Rose blush on the left (4th from the top I think). I hope they release it on its own!

Anyone else choosing between this and the Hourglass holiday palettes? Hahaha

The creator who posted this is getglamwithhannah on TT.

I wanted to wait until it came in store to buy. I got 44 and 23. Haven’t tried it on my face, but swatching it felt sheer but buildable.

Swatches on 3rd pic. The lilac one nearest my wrist is the new Prada blush lol 😂

Hopefully 23 doesn’t turn orange on my olive skintone. In store lighting, it’s like a light salmon pink. In my picture it def looks more orange 🥲

I also saw the m.ph top coat glosses in store finally, but passed. My girl was a little too barbie pink on me, and my type looks like most of my glosses at home! Maybe I’ll get one during the sale 😆

Any reviews about this? There are a handful of negative reviews lol. Is it worth picking up? Thanks! :)

I was shocked to see the bright yellow stand! I wasn’t expecting it at all. Brought a smile to my face :) This is from NorCal.

The eyeshadow singles have the coolest packaging.

I bought Self-Centered, I’ve been interested in it the most since the launch. It is a mauvey pink color, reminds me of Sleepy Girl from Rhode (less depth though). It was kinda sheer and a bit dewy. (3rd swatch on my arm)

I noticed my Sephora had a lot of stalls empty with a “Coming Soon” cover over them. I’m talking maybe 2-4 separate spaces 🤔🤔

I didn’t know before buying it that it has a PAO of 6mo. I have sensitive skin, and I will not finish it in that amount of time.

Has anyone had this concealer for longer than 6mo? Did it break you out? Did the formula change?

Considering returning it if it does go bad in 6mo bc it’ll be a waste. Doesn’t seem to be clean beauty though.

Thank you!

I’ve never heard of the brand or any of its products but open to trying something new. Is this good? Please share thoughts on longevity, ease of blending and coverage :) I don’t have dark eyebags but do have some discoloration.

Is it harder to use than a traditional liquid corrector? I’ve never used a stick corrector/ concealer!

Thank you!

Interested in picking this up soon when it’s 50% off. I have oily, textured skin but don’t mind some dewiness (as long as it’s not excessive, and it doesn’t break apart 😅). For reference, I enjoy the Nars and Milk skin tint even if it is quite dewy :)

Please share reviews❤️ any positive/ negative experiences? Is it worth it?

Thank you 🥰

Spent the weekend in Tahoe/ Reno 🌳 This is what I packed! I usually prefer cream products, but wanted to challenge myself to use powder products instead. I actually liked it! I’ll be bringing my Hourglass palette on more trips now - I’ve been neglecting her!

~ Prada gel eyeliner in Nero (didn’t smudge even on my super oily skin)
~ Elf eyebrow pencil in dark brown
~ Summer fridays lip stain in Almond (my new obsession)
~ Summer fridays lip liner in Cinnamon
~ Refy lip gloss in Rosewood (a new favorite!)
~ Essence silky blur concealer
~ Dior foundation stick in 3N
~ Elf lip stain in pink positive
~ Rhode lip peptide treatment in Vanilla
~ Laura Mercier mini translucent setting powder
~ Nyx the face glue primer
~ Rhode highlight milk in 02
~ Hourglass limited edition holiday palette in Swan
~ Byoma spf 30
~ Benefit porefessional setting spray

I’m trying to build my cart for the DOB sale, but am wanting to be practical with my choices. Would you recommend this for someone who has oily and textured skin?

Any pleasant experiences? Worth trying?

I have a collection of blushes - I do love trying out new formulas - but ofc I want it to be worth picking up.

Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Edit: is it true that it feels less cream to powder and more a traditional powder?

Weekend in Tahoe/ Reno! Products are:

1. Summer fridays lip stain in Almond
2. Summer fridays lip liner in Cinnamon
3. Elf lip stain in pink positive
4. Refy lip gloss in Rosewood
5. Rhode peptide treatment in Vanilla

The Summer Fridays liners are all new to me and I’ve been happily using them. They’re great! 💗 Almond is so faint when swatched on my arm in store, but on my lips it’s the perfect MLBB shade. Trust in those Tiktok reviews I guess 😂🤞🏼

I was so excited to finally see Toasted Teddy back in stock IN STORES in Sephora 🥹🥹🥹 It was unexpected which made me even happier!

Vanilla is my first peptide treatment, and I like it more than the tinted ones 😭 I can’t believe I waited so long to try. It’s thicker and feels more plush and moisturizing. I went in store to hopefully grab salted caramel but sadly the app was lying and it wasn’t available lol. I want to try that next - I love the scent!

I also picked up candy apple on a whim.. I want to try red blush 🎈🥰 It’s pigmented and bright on my medium skin, so there is definitely a learning curve. I bought it bc I wanted to get the Prada blush in Cherry so wanted to test it out with this first (as it’s cheaper haha).

A haul from the weekend of hell 😭 Thankfully, my bf got refunded so he treated me to a little haul 🥰🫶🏻 Much needed trip after dealing with some heavy family crisis recently. Happy to get a couple things off my wishlist 🥹

🎡 Prada eyeliner in 01: Tested it out today and it might be the most budge proof liner for oily gals like me. Just need to test it more!
🎡 Rhode peptide treatment in vanilla: My first peptide treatment, I like it so much more than the tinted ones… how am I only finding out now!
🎡 Rhode blushes in candy apple and toasted teddy: FREAKED out when I found Toasted Teddy in the store! Finally! I wanted to dabble with red blush and candy apple is a good start. Need to learn to apply w a lighter hand- def pigmented!
🎡 Emi jay claw clip in pink angel: This was a splurge I wouldn’t have done if it weren’t for my bf treating me 🥲😂 But omg I LOVE it. I only got into doing half-up and half-down styles recently, as someone who only uses scrunchies 24/7. The hold is INSANE. Definitely a cute treat that’s worth it. I already placed an order for a big effing clip lol 😂

So shocked to see a wild Toasted Teddy appear! They are available in stores in multiple locations for me, Northern California :)

I’ve seen sun soak too and apparently sleepy girl as well (didn’t see tho - might be in the drawers)

These are shockingly similar to the Summer Fridays lip balm. Same texture and feel on the lips. Very slippery but with adequate grip so it’s not sloppy. Same applicator as well (more precise though - the tube itself is smaller and thinner).

Scent:
🍰 Strawberry Milk smells like your typical sweet strawberry scent. Smells kinda artificial. It’s growing on me but it definitely was too strong when I first smelled it.

☕️ Dirty Chai is my absolute FAVORITE scent in a lip balm 😭 It smells like a mix of caramel and chocolate. If you like gourmand, you will like this. Not artificial smelling. It kinda reminds me of Iced Coffee by Summer Fridays (or Hot Cocoa - it’s been a while since I owned those, but I’d bet on Iced Coffee). I’m ADDICTED 😭😍🥹

Tint:
Both tints are just a wash of color. Kinda sheer, not too pigmented. On my pigmented lips, I think strawberry showed up more while dirty chai was MLBB. Based on tint, I would return Dirty Chai but I love the scent so much, I’m keeping it lol. If you have the essence lip peptide, that’s more pigmented.

Feel:
These feel so dang similar to Summer Fridays. I put them both on each side of my lips, and barely felt a difference. Weightless, not sticky, not messy even if you smack your lips a lot. I just got this so Idk how moisturizing it is yet.

🛒 I got this yday at Target. Not on the shelves yet but in the employee carts for stocking. I def want to pick up the clear one!

🫶🏻 Overall, I think I’ll enjoy this. I don’t always want a thick lip balm which is why I keep at least one tube of SF in my collection. I was gonna return the strawberry but it’s growing on me. I recommend this if you want a cheaper alternative to Summer Fridays.

It is not the same as Eadem. I’ve seen a lot make that claim which can be misleading

1. Lip Maxi Glaze is way easier to squeeze out of the tube.
2. Eadem is a thicker formula, feels more plush on the lips.
3. Lip Maxi Glaze is quite slippy on the lips, and has less grip than their balm and mask.

Imo I like the balm and lip mask more. The formula of the glaze glides more on the lips which can be a good and bad thing. If you smack your lips a lot, the product can spill/ move beyond your lips. The balm and mask feel more balmy and substantial on the lips.

It does make my lips soft! Been testing the berry for almost a week. It gets rid of my soft flaking, and makes lips smooth.

Vanilla has the strongest scent. Personally I’m not a big fan of the other scents. The tint is sheer so you do have to apply more than usual - makes it feel even more slippery on the lips.

Imo if you are getting this to get the Eadem experience, just save up and get that one. I think this is more for the collectors/ those that don’t care enough to spend $24 on Eadem. Otherwise, I’d skip this. Eadem/ their lip masks/ balms are better.

Edit: The Cocoa Creme has the most noticeable tint on my pigmented lips. I didn’t like the scent at first but it’s growing on me. Also I do not think these lippies are bad at all. They work well! I just do not think they are Eadem dupes/ copies. I would still suggest picking this up if you are curious ❤️ I think it’s worth it for $10 if you know what you’re getting!

I’m trying to see if it’s worth getting the mini over the full size. I would love to get the full size (better value) but it’s not practical bc I plan to use this for events where I mostly use small bags.

I can be swayed if the mini gets used up too quickly though💀 Is it worth it? Should I not bother and just get the full size?

Thanks!!
