I picked up a packet of the new Ulta Smoothing Apricot Pre-Mask Prepping Face Scrub ($3) recently and I couldn’t help but think how great it would be if Ulta introduced this in a full-size tube. I’d so buy it if they did!

Ulta Smoothing Apricot Pre-Mask Prepping Face Scrub sort of dabbles its toes in the Origins Maskimizer Skin-Optimizing Mask Primer idea but they take it in a different direction with a pre-scrub that can used to exfoliate your skin before applying a mask. Apparently this allows for better absorption of your mask.

Psstt…!

Let me let you in on a little secret of mine. I’ve been doing this for years!!!!!!!!!!

I find physical exfoliation can be very stripping. Ironically I have dry, flaky skin that just gets worst after I exfoliate it. I’m left feeling quite tight and dry after I scrub. My solution? I follow up with a moisturizing facial mask!

But hey, this didn’t stop me from being oddly curious about Ulta Smoothing Apricot Pre-Mask Prepping Face Scrub.

Nest Eau de Parfum Collection Coffret A Delightful Way To Try Nest!

Late last week, I was chatting up the new Commodity Storybook Fragrance Gift Set which I happened to purchase as soon as it launched at Sephora! Later that night I found myself hauling out the Nest Eau de Parfum Collection Coffret ($38) because I think it’s such a delightful way to try out Nest.

I should really start this post by saying the first time I tried Nest I found the fragrances rather sweet. Don’t get me wrong, I love a sweet floral scent but sometimes it can be overkill. Somehow, someway, Nest captured more and more of my attention after I kept misting myself with a new one each time I walked into Sephora. Until one day, I found that I absolutely loved the brand (especially their new Black Tulip fragrance!).

A few months ago I purchased the Nest Eau de Parfum Collection Coffret not because I needed it. Because at this point I have already purchased and own all the Nest fragrances but because I wanted a easy travel version of my favorite scents. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the set. Would the roll-ons be as strong as the mists? Would they have lasting power? Was it even worth picking this set up?

Lancome Le Metallique Liquid Shadow Review & Swatches

I purchased one of the new Lancome Le Metallique Liquid Shadow ($29) shades in Mocha earlier last week and I’ve been messing around with it the last few days. These are a new long-wearing cream eyeshadow formula with a metallic finish available in four shades that are part of the Lancome Summer 2017 Collection. I’m going to throw it out there that these are likely limited edition since they are available in such a limited shade range but who knows, maybe they’ll become permanent.

Metallics are pretty huge this Spring and that trend is only going to get bigger as we approach Summer so, the release of Lancome Le Metallique Liquid Shadow comes as no great surprise.

Wander Beauty Secret Escape Kit A Great Way to Try This Brand

Wander Beauty was something that came to my attention when QVC started carrying the line some time ago. I never indulged and later on I tried out one of their Carryon Lip and Cheek Gel and ended up really enjoying it but never explored the brand farther. Sephora started to carry Wander Beauty a few short months ago and one of their newest product launches is a Glow Getter Mist that acts as a makeup setter as well as a highlighter. If you’ve been wanting to try the Glow Getter Mist now is a good time to do so as this set comes with a 2.02 oz bottle plus you’ll also get Exquisite Eye Liquid Shadow in Champagne and Beach Balm in Sangria (berry) as well for $36.

You can get this one now at Sephora.com.

P.S. Who’s ready for American Gods? I mean not only do you get a piece of Neil Gaiman brilliance brought to life but you also get Ian McShane, Crispin Glover, and Peter Stormare in the same show together. Yes, please and thank you!

Sephora 15% off for Spring 2017 is apparently starting on April 18th to the 24th for Rouge Members using promo code ROUGESPRING! I know everyone has been waiting to hear about the Sephora Spring 15% Off for a while now and I haven’t heard a peep personally plus I’m still waiting for an invite card in the mail. But I imagine we should be getting those some time this week.

And 15% will be available for VIBs on April 19th through April 23rd VIBSPRING and 10% for BIs on April 20th through April 23rd using promo code BISPRING.

The coupon can be used online at sephora.com as well as in stores.

I actually have a cart filled with stuff at the moment so, the sale is coming at just the right time.

How about you?

Again, as more information becomes available I’ll be sure to post!
