Hi guys,

I just wanted to share a very happy moment for me - I am getting a Chanel Perfume to review, I am so happy. This isn’t something I could afford myself with a little baby and I am so happy. It feels like such gift.

I also wanted to share that I haven’t been able to get anything for month and month, I did receive invitations, filled up the forms but wasn’t selected ever. And then I got this one and it feels so amazing. I don’t get to take care of myself much because my baby is only 4 month old, all the time I have belongs to her and I am happy about it. But it also feels so nice to sprinkle a little bit of Chanel on yourself and feel amazing when we go somewhere. I am just so happy. I feel like I won the lottery.

I just wanted to say - please don’t give up if you aren’t getting selected. I just kept filling up the forms and one day I got something really big. I think if you guys don’t give up you will too, it only takes a minute anyway.

I am so happy and I hope everyone gets something that will make them happy very soon. I wish it to all of us.

I’m thinking about getting one of the stylekorean boxes available at the moment and was curious about everyone’s opinions on the items included in them. Yellow box is $75 and the purple box is $69.

Could anyone who is subscribed to Allure please tell me if this is still in stock in the member store and how much it costs? I'm not really that interested in the Allure subscription, but I'll get it for half price for a month if this trio is available and at a good price.

First impressions of my second Ipsy original bag, plus some add-ons:

FAB Brighten + Glow Facial Radiance Pads - Honestly, this is exactly the kind of thing I want in a beauty box. I never would have purchased it for myself, but I'm excited to try it!

Pistaché Skincare Pistachio Body Butter - I'm actually currently in the market for a good body butter or body lotion. On one hand, I'm looking forward to trying out and it will definitely get used. On the other hand, it's unlikely to be "the one" for me because of the price. And the size is pretty small for something that's a body product rather than a face product. This will not go very far. Still, it's definitely something I'll use.

Real Perfection Sponge + Case - Okay, I guess? I've been using the same beauty blender for years, so it probably does need to be replaced, but I can't pretend to be overly excited about it.

Milani Keep It Full Nourishing Lip Plumper in Prismatic Peach - This one is a miss for me. I don't like the texture or the appearance. It kind of feels gritty, like there actually glitter in it. I have no idea why I picked it - it's not my kind of thing at all. I guess the other options must have been even less appealing? Either way, not a fan. Anyone have ideas for other uses for a lip plumper?

Sonäge Skincar Luster Eye Creme (add on AND in the bag) - I like for my bag to be a surprise, so I make an intentional effort not to look at the reveal. Unfortunately, that means in this case I got something as an add-on that was also in my bag. Oops. The good news is that they very literally picked something for me that I would pick for myself. I've been needing an eye cream, so it's a good item for me. Hopefully I like it enough to use two of them...

Pinky B Cosmetics Had Me At Setting Spray (add on) - I've caved and admitted I need a setting spray, at least for special occasions, even though I hate how they make my skin feel. We'll see how I feel about it after I try it. At least if I hate it, I didn't spend a lot on it.

Āthr Beauty Desert Mirage Blurring Powder (add on) - I was worried when I opened this that it would be too shimmery, but I didn't see anything noticeably sparkly when I put it on. I'm not sure I saw anything at all, tbh, but I was in hurry. I'll play with it a bit and see how I feel about it.

I'm pretty happy overall, although I have to note that I got the subscription for the makeup more than the skincare, and the only makeup item I received was one I didn't like at all. Still, apart from the lip plumper, I think everything here will get used, and I feel like I got my money's worth.

ok so I went to KCON LA Kcollection and somehow came home with WAY more stuff than expected 😂 there were so many booths that I honestly lost track of what I was picking up lol
starting with BANO 👀 they had a follow + lucky draw thing, so I gave it a shot. thought I’d get a sample and somehow ended up with the FULL SIZE Jelly Ampoule 😭
tried it on my hand while I was there and the texture was actually pretty nice. not sticky, which I appreciated. also thought the little pill-shaped packaging was kinda cute
there were a bunch of other booths I checked out too, so I’ll see how the rest of this haul goes 👀

Did anyone with Skylar scent club get an extra in their box this month or any other time recently?

Since there’s no packing slip, I’m wondering if this was an intentional reward, or if I just got someone else’s order with an add-on lol

After Midnight description from ME website : Unfurling in dreamlike beauty, night-drenched Moonflower awakens in the velvety darkness, stirred by a breeze of Bitter Orange laced in spice. Winged passersby alight on the petals of moonlit Flora before vanishing amidst the shadows with a flutter.

Lollia Dream hand cream:  botanically lush handcreme with rich ingredients. Macadamia Nut & Avocado Oils are blended to comfort & soothe skin. Beneficial hydrating extracts of Aloe & Shea Butter lightly moisturize while a dreamy combination of Linden, White Tea, Bergamot and Honeysuckle leaves skin deliciously fresh. Formulated to absorb quickly.

The perfume might be new? there’s no reviews. I’m intrigued by the description.

Release date Aug 18. $69 on StyleKorean. This is not a review, I've tried some of these products but most of them are new to me.

Does anyone have an opinion on the Thome CPR serum compared to this Purito one? Lilyeve Exosome hair vs VT?

I like the Medicube mist, I mix it with the Mixsoon vitamin C serum for easier distribution and to mask the smell of the serum, because I'm a big baby when it comes to things that go on my face not smelling great. The vit c content of the mist is pretty negligible but it smells nice, is refreshing, and absorbs fast.

The Axis PDRN toner is awesome, so I'm curious how the serum is.

The Fully green tomato cleanser/mask is actually really nice, not super drying as a mask and foams up nicely as a cleanser.

I love that the larger size Numbuzin 9 eye cream is packaged like a normal eye cream, the syringe looking monster that is the 10ml cream is kind of annoying imo.

Posted on Beauty Calendar 7/26/26 (LOVE this website, a lot of posts are more relevant if you live in Britain because so many things don't ship to the EU or US. But lots of great reviews and spoilers, especially if you're in the market for an Advent calendar this year)

Hello, finally back with a review

This months box there was no blush or bronzer which was great. The retail value was over $155 for only $30!

This month we also had 5/6 full size products

Commodity Juice Expressive or Milk Expressive — Retail value $14 (purse size) I got milk it’s a creamy musky type scent. My sister got the juice and it’s a fruity floral.

Medik8 Liquid Peptides — Retail value $68
This is a thick liquid with no scent. It absorbs quickly. I have used it two nights in a row with the barrier cream and my skin is more smooth and even.
There was a death in the family and I have been getting terrible sleep and crying a lot so my skin is really bad. But this stuff made it feel normal.

Dr. Brid C Barrier Defense Basic Cream — Retail value $19.99
A nice cream with no scent (a medical kind of smell) it is in a squeeze tube and it’s non irritating and absorbs fast. I used it after the liquid peptides. They worked well together.

Athr Beauty The Comeback Mascara — Retail value $28
I have not tried this, the wand looks great! Happy to get a mascara.

Teleties Flat Square Hair Clip — Retail value $12.99–$14.99
These are so beautiful! I got the white shade my sister got a peach shade. I like they these are flat so I could wear this while driving.

Half Magic Eyeshadow Single — Retail value $15. We got to choose our shade
I chose sparkle puff. It’s a beautiful champagne with blueish hints. These are so beautiful and last so long on the eyes. There was some fallout but that’s ok. I really love this brand.
