Tea Time! Why Is Sephora Shoving Their Collection At Us So Much? Fall Relaunch?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Hey! Gather around ladies and lads!

Let’s spill some tea.

What’s up with the Sephora Collection lately? Anyone have an inside scoop? I contacted some industry friends but no one knows anything. Sephora.com has a 4x bonus point on all Sephora Collection purchases with code SCBASKET and recently they also had the entire collection on sale for like 40% off.

Are they relaunching/repromoting for Fall 2021 do you think? It sure feels like they keep shoving these Sephora Collection offers down our throats lately.

The thing is the Sephora Collection for me is a lot like E.L.F…..very hit or miss. Sometimes you find the most amazing gems (especially the brush line. Lipstories Lipsticks, etc….) in it and other times it’s a complete waste of money. I’m sort of sad to say it’s also not something I actively seek out when I go to Sephora. I think when you head in store or even online you’re just wowed by any number of incredible brands and it’s not like you walk into that brightly lit store and say to yourself, “I NEED TO GO SEE THE SEPHORA COLLECTION FIRST!”

The Sephora Collection for me is a little like filler. It used to be something I used to tip me into a free shipping zone (that’s not really necessary anymore since they provide free shipping anyway) or if I wanted to round off my bag. I do like browsing their new releases but many of the newer items are very cheesy and cheap and feel more like they are marketed to someone that’s 12. Ok, yeah, I know, I act 12 but I don’t ALWAYS want makeup that looks like it was created for a tween.

I swear I’m not belittling the collection! Far from it because I do think there are some great products in it. I’m just curious what’s up with all the sales lately…!

I’d love to see them relaunch it but I think it might be too expensive to do so.

We’ll see when Fall 2021 arrives.

What do you think is going on?

Why Did No One Warn Me That Kopari Coconut Body Milk Lotion Smells So Edible?

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.
5 stars out of 5

Kopari Coconut Body Milk Lotion is my new obsession of the moment! This incredibly lightweight, hydrating lotion contains coconut oil and smells like Lush Vanillary (and pairs with it wonderfully) and I’m obsessed!

Kopari was really lovely and sent me over a few of their items recently in a PR set. I literally thought I’ve tried everything Kopari has to offer but obviously not as this Coconut Body Milk Lotion is a new one on me.

I’m a huge body lotion hater. I hate how it makes me feel sticky, I hate when I apply it to my legs it makes my clothes sticky to me, I dislike how heavy and greasy some body creams and lotions feel. But I can’t not go without lotion because I’m actually part alligator on my father’s side. I’m obviously kidding but the moral of this story is I have dry skin and I really do need to take care of it so it’s nice and smooth and touchable and doesn’t feel like you’re running your hands over a piece of sand paper when you touch me. This stuff is divine. Creamy but not too thick! Absorbs easily but isn’t tacky or sticky when it sets! You can sort of feel the oils in it (coconut and sunflower) but it’s not something that feels gross or greasy on skin just nicely hydrating!

Of course, like any girly girl I migrate towards anything that smells amazing. I know, I know some folks are sensitive they don’t love heavy scents or fragrances in their body lotions and potions. I am forever guilty of loving scented products. I love smelling pretty. That’s it. There’s nothing deep about it. I just like to smell good. And Kopari Coconut Body Milk Lotion smells amazing. I thought it would smell more coconut but it’s actually a light, vanilla that reminds me of Lush Vanillary. Most fragrance lovers would liken the real smell of vanilla to a light sugar cookie-like fragrance with a bit of bitterness and woods. I personally like my vanillas to smell like white wedding cake. That warm, yummy delicious dessert smell. This smells tropical cake-y! A little smidge of coconut but mostly vanilla. It pairs really well with Lush’s Vanillary perfume! The scent lingers nicely too to a point you want to lick you arm ha…! Seriously, it just smells edible! Like some yummy vanilla cake!

I will absolutely buy this again after I run out of this sample!

Ever tried Kopari Coconut Body Milk Lotion?
