Hi guys just thought I’d post on here because I’m a bit unsure. I tried to return something at Sephora (unopened, unused) for a full refund and the manager refused to do a refund and said she can only do an exchange or store credit. I gave her proof of purchase such as my Sephora app purchase history receipt and bank statement. However she still refused so I just gave up because I felt like she had something against me. I was giving her multiple forms of proof of purchase. Is there any other option I can opt for to get a refund? Or does Sephora just not do refunds if you don’t have a physical receipt.

The whole ordeal was also a bit upsetting because I was made to wait 15 minutes to get a manager to come and then when she did she was very rude/angry with me for the fact that I was trying to return something. I might be being dramatic but I almost started crying because of how mean she was being hahaha so not sure what to do from here. Sephora Chadstone btw :(

Thanks in advance! 🩷

Ok can someone smarter than me please help because I’ve tried and failed to figure this out

Does anyone know the actual DHA % in the Quick Flick or Loving Tan 10 minute tans? These newish ones you wash off after ten mins?

I’m not anti DHA or alarmist anything, I use fake tan all the time, but I generally know what % I’m using (my usual one is 10%).

I just can’t work out how these 10 minute tans would even work unless they’ve cranked up the DHA % significantly? Which is fine, but I’d still like to know what that number is!

DHA safety papers and some of the research seems a bit inconclusive at higher concentrations, so I feel like it’s a pretty reasonable thing to want to know

Someone asked Quick Flick directly on Tik Tok and they replied “as high as we legally could make it” but I tried to google what that is, and can’t even find what the legal limit is in Australia?! I just know Europe is 10%. Do they sell these in Europe ?!

Surely this information exists somewhere! And surely it’s a normal thing to want to know from a brand ?

UPDATE: hi all, lovely people! i will be posting my holy grails to see what i should bring, i thank you all and will be back with images and more details. might even make it a game of "this or that"! thank you!!

i am coming from the usa where we are incredibly spoiled and i could fill up a suitcase with my favorite hair, skincare, makeup. it’s my one true love, please don’t judge me!

i am not sure if i should do a post with my must haves, but i know i also will not be bringing a years supply of those, so i am wondering what are things i absolutely will struggle to find or that are ridiculously expensive and would be worth bringing more of?

i have dry skin and am from florida where the air is water, so i am a little nervous about parting with my comfort items. i really hope this doesn’t come off as a weird question. my friends and family are concerned about the animals and insects while i am freaking out if i can’t find a good curl cream 😭

I've tried the Charlotte Tilbury pressed powder in shade medium but I’m unsure if it's too dark on me or if my sunken eye bags are making it look darker. I also feel it's almost oxidising on my skin as after a few hrs it looks a lot darker, so I'm less inclined to get the lighter shade.

I have sunken eye bags and lots of creases but really want that airbrushed look when I do a full beat, so any recs would be appreciated!

Currently I just use the Huda Beauty loose powder to set.
