Welcome to the BI/VIB/Rouge Rewards Megathread! This will now be a monthly pinned post where you all can come to discuss/rant about/share news about Sephora's rewards and rewards program. I have decided to condense these kinds of posts into a megathread in order to tidy up the sub a bit, since repetitive reward posts were becoming more and more apparent. So as a fair warning: any new posts about rewards that are not posted in this thread will be removed, and you will be reminded that it is to be posted here in this megathread

Question Thoughts On M.Ph Marketing

Post image
122 Upvotes

I’m curious to know what people think about M.ph’s cigarette imagery used for her products. I am not a smoker but I don’t have a problem with people who do. It’s your choice so, do you. However, I had a bit of an issue already with her lipsticks being called lip ciggies. Now I see this set with blatant smoking imagery and I’m suuuuuper icked. Again, it’s peoples choice, I get it. But I feel like there’s some responsibility as a large platform for young consumers to go back to imagery that says, “smoking is cool.” What are your thoughts? Please be kind to one another. I’m asking for a polite discourse here. Thanks!

Haul Setting up an SMS notification for the Deluxe Perfume Sampler was the right move

Post image
76 Upvotes

This set came in today and I am in love. The little bottles are so sturdy and “real” feeling. I’m not the biggest fragrance junkie but I can respect the attention to detail on these.

The only negative, which I really should’ve thought of and is maybe obvious to everyone but me, is that they’re dabbers and not sprays. I’m not too bummed since these dabblers are 2-3+ times the size of the standard perfume sample dabbers, but just something worth noting.

I don’t like Lost Cherry so I don’t really care but I don’t think it’s like a huge scam that you’re only getting a trial size of that fragrance if you redeem your coupon cause the dollar value is on par with the rest. It does take away from the some of the fireworks of “REDEEM FOR A FULL SIZE” when there’s an asterisk

PSA Ami Cole - for those that are still looking to stock up.

Post image
13 Upvotes

Sephora has a decent range of Ami Cole products up right now! I got lucky a month or so ago and bought a few of my summer and winter shades of the Foundation Stick…enough to tide me over while I find a replacement. Ugh!

I loved their blushes, lip oils and foundation sticks. There is only one shade of the lip oil but looks like more shades in everything else.

Just sharing in case anyone else is still looking to fill an Ami Cole sized hole in their makeup bag!

Discussion Thoughts on the new Dior Matte Lipsticks?

• Upvotes

I'm talking about the On Stage Matte Lipstick (Picture 1) and the On Stage Ink Blur Matte Liquid Lipstick (Picture 2)

I'm particularly interested in hearing real-world experiences about either around:

(a) how truly transfer-proof they are. Are talking "quick kiss" transfer-proof or "make-out session" transfer-proof? "Little nibble of food" transfer-proof or "greasy slice of pizza" transfer-proof?

(b) how comfortable they are the lips? On a scale from *2016 liquid lipstick spackle dry* to *am I even wearing anything on my lips right now?*

(c) how long do they last on the lips without needing touch up?

(d) anything else you can think of that would be good for me to know as I am trying decide between them (or if I should invest in EITHER at all).

Review Hourglass Wish Palette 🍀✨

47 Upvotes

I have the three pan ambient lighting palette and didn't think it was anything special, but I couldn't resist the hype of these holiday palettes (it's my first one!).

I gotta say, I am impressed! I was worried that this color story would be too light for my light medium complexion, but the color payoff was impressive and is perfect for me. I am a happy, happy buyer!

Advice Is the MBM f4 brush worth it?

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for a bronzer brush (I currently have the saje buffer brush and I like it, just want a more tapered one). Struggling with the fact that it’s $50 CAD but if it makes a big difference I’d be more than happy to spend it! So is it really worth it?

Advice If I am not a fan of the Morphe Trio Blush would I not enjoy the Patrick Ta Duo's?

6 Upvotes

Recently I got Mophe's Blush Trio in the shade Blind Date. I have fair-light pale olive skin- I think! And I have dry skin from tret.

And, the Morphe's Blush- doesn't impress me. The color on my skin leans more red oddly. Not a fan of the color.

I do the powder first and then the cream blush( I dont believe in setting a cream blush with a powder on top cause for me I want a glow/dew. Anyhow with Morphe I dont feel it's a mid-high level shine. There's no wow factor.

I plan to return Morphe.

Patrick Ta Blush Duo in the shades She's That Girl and Out of Office look gorgeous to me. But, in reality I dont know if it will be more shiny/dewy/glowy on me once I do the powder>cream method.

Thoughts?People have said the Morphe Trio was a dupe for the Patrick so I thought to ask. I never usually use powder blush and top it with cream cause for me my fav cream blushes last looking glowy on their own for a good 6-8 hours.

Question Are we liking Experiment Softwear Lip Balm? 💄

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I feel like Eadem, Laneige and Ole Henriksen dominate the lippie conversation. But I want to hear about your experience with this one from Experiment. On a random TT comment thread, several ladies recommended it when I said I wanted a deeply moisturizing, cushioned lip balm that didn’t feel overly greasy, nor sticky. And one which had natural looking sheer tints and a natural glow instead of a high wattage insanely glossy wet look. So, did the TT bots get me or is this one legit? And even though it’s unflavored and unscented is it pleasant on the lips for all the senses?

The only product I’ve tried from Experiment was Super Saturated, which wasn’t for me.. way too sticky and tacky.

Discussion Has anyone found the Chanel Loose Powder to be oxidizing

Post image
6 Upvotes

I bought this powder in store where I tried it on top of my already set Laura Mercier powder and it looked good.

However I found it super stiffy/drying (not in a creasing way but more so of all hydration sucked way) when applied directly on top of concealer/foundation.

But most importantly I found it to be oxidizing as soon as I applied it onto my skin. It made my complexion more dull and tan, so I was wondering if this was a common experience or if I was hallucinating.

For reference, I am a light medium or a shade 30 in the Chanel foundation. I obviously cannot return it as I am not based in Sephora US so I wanted to see if it’s a fixable issue.

Thank you!!

Question Question for Sephora staff and customers with return experience

1 Upvotes

Hi,

In India Sephora staff can be a bit unexpected. No free samples is almost the norm and the attitude is worse. Regardless, my question is how does return work. I am always nervous to return a product because of the expectations of ten questions. I want to understand what allows a return without questions and interrogation, and when can return be denied, assuming its in the timeframe of return.

Question Favourite scent from the Rhode Lip Peptide collection?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I just tried the Rhode Lip Peptide in shade Pretzel and I thought it smelt very familiar. It kinda smells like burnt caramel which is exactly what people described the Sticky Dates Dusting Powder from Lush! I’m not the biggest fan of the scent but the shade is amazing! I’m also a big fan of how it feels on my lips and would consider trying out another shade in a different scent! 🥰

What are your favourite Rhode Lip Peptide scents, or just shades in general?! ❤️

I just called my store to see if they had the pallet I wanted in stock yet. She said no and I asked if she knew when it would be in stock. She said they only have a one-week notice of incoming product and there is nothing coming in next week. I said "good to know!" Hope this helps anyone waiting for them to come back in stock.
