As you may already know places like Walmart, Target, Ulta, Nordstrom and yes, Sephora now sell vibrators.

Ulta and Sephora selling vibrators isn’t a new thing (btw remember when Urban Decay was trying to sell us lube?). This dates back to a year now but Nordstrom and other retailers started selling them even further back. Target and Walmart typically have their vibrators on display in the feminine needs aisle. They aren’t locked up at my stores and anyone can readily snag one. Sephora, Ulta, and Nordy’s however (and yes, Anthropologie too) sell the online only or at least I haven’t run across any of them in store where I am (I live in New York).

Although, these retailers have had them around people haven’t realized it but Sephora decided WTF let’s post about it on social media. That’s where things got pretty funny.

Laniege Lip Glowy Balm Peppermint and Laneige Peppermint Lip Sleeping Mask is back for Holiday 2023 (and P.S. If you’re as in Fall mode as I am you might be more interested in the Caramel Apple flavor). Peppermint is a beloved favorite in the Lip Sleeping Mask by many (myself included). Peppermint is a beloved favorite of Laneige fans! I absolutely adore it myself. It tastes like candy canes!

It’s available in the Lip Glowy Balm Peppermint that delivers lightweight hydration and in an easy to use squeeze tube with a slanted applicator. And of course, it’s available the popular Lip Mask formula which can be used overnight to keep lips hydrated and soft! I tend to use it after my nightly skincare routine while I watch TV or read I let it go its work. If you’re worried about messy pillow cases this is your safest way to use it or you can always use in the day!

I’m happy to see Laneige Peppermint back for the Holiday 2023 season! You can snag yours now at Sephora!

Laneige Caramel Apple Lip Sleeping Mask ($24) is a new Fall treat for lips! This new limited-edition flavor brings all the Fall vibes to your lips with the ultimate Fall flavor, Carmel Apple!

Discover the best-selling Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask with its ultra-nourishing formula that gives you soft, luscious lips and now available in a new mouth-watering flavor Caramel Apple. Infused hyaluronic acid that hydrates and retains moisture along with a Berry Mix Complex of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry and blueberry extracts offers antioxidant protection and shea butter helps to soften and condition lips. I have to admit this past weekend while out grocery shopping I was eyeballing all the apple and Fall displays in the hopes of finding a caramel apple! I’m craving one so bad at the moment. Gooey caramel, salty peanut bits, and tart yet sweet green apple! Yes, please!

I was very close to trying out the caramel apple pretzel viral Tiktok recipe out but I’m going to wait for the weather to cool a little bit. They’re pretty easy to make! Just grab some pretzels, top them with a caramel on each one (or I’ve seen some people do it with a Rolo) bake until the caramel is melted and top each one with a small bite of Granny Smith Apple! They look so yummy! Can you tell I’m really getting into the Fall vibe?

Anyway, I already have plenty of Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask! Heck, I just purchased the Lemonade Swirl Lip Sleeping Mask about a month or so ago but you know these things are like pokemons and I must have them all!

Laneige Caramel Apple Lip Sleeping Mask is available nows. Will you be grabbing a pot? P.S. Candy Cane/Peppermint is back for Holiday 2023!

The new Maison Margiela Replica Under the Stars Eau de Toilette ($127) is probably the first Replica Fragrance I don’t want to get my hands on. This is a new Oud Blend which is a first for Replica and they may be coming into this note a little late in the game as it’s been quite viral, trendy, and fashionable for several months but now Vanilla is the note that’s taking over the fragrance world. As a gourmand girlie this holds little appeal for me as it’s a woodsy fragrance with notes of leather and oud. I don’t really like leather notes as I discovered after blind buying Hibiscus Mahajád which was madly raved as being sweet and pretty but was much more leather jacket meets Hawaii on my body chemistry!

Maison Margiela Replica Under the Stars notes are:

• Base notes: Labdanum resinoid, Oud infusion, Leather accord
• Middle notes: Cypriol Essence, Virginian cedarwood essence
• Top notes: Black papper essence, Cinnamon leaf essence

As with all Replica fragrances this scent is supposed to evoke a particular memory and that memory is one of starry nights in the wilds of nature. Of admiring the stars on a dark note! The oud is said to create a mystery while the labdanum creates the warmth of a summer night with a kick of black pepper and spicy cinnamon!

Maison Margiela Replica Under the Stars is apparently exclusively to Harrod’s but I imagine at some point other retailers will get it. This launched this past Summer in Europe but we are just seeing it trickle into the US market now. Considering the warm notes it should be a lovely pick for Fall and Winter.

I’d be curious to smell it but not sure I’d indulge in a bottle. How about you?
