september 2015: sephora play!

hi guys! by now, most people have heard that sephora's started doing a subscription service! wooot. it's $10+tax and it's 5 deluxe samples plus a fragrance sample. this month's theme is uncover the essentials.

...

turns out. this service is so new that they can't even pack the boxes properly. i'm missing two items, one of which i've already tried (liner), and the other, a moisturizer. i've listed these two below. anyway, after waiting 10+ minutes on hold for a customer service person, they ended up refunding me because it wasn't a complete box. which was nice, but still kind of annoying. ~Lin-chan ^.~

sephora rouge infusion lip stain in peony (photos recycled from a previous post)

1. ole henriksen sheer transformation (.25oz--mini, $40 for 1.7oz [$5.88]) -- one of the missing items in my box
   
2. marc jacobs highliner gel liner in blacquer (.013oz--mini, ret. $25 for .1oz [$3.25]) -- the other missing item. i already have this liner and i'm not totally sure about it. it kinda but not really stays in the waterline, and i haven't really used it as a lashline liner.
   repurchase? no
3. elizabeth and james nirvana white (.07oz--mini, ret. $60 for 1oz [$4.20]) -- i already have a sample of this, and i actually prefer the black. i have tried mixing the two and i'm not totally sure how much i like that. using straight white, i'm not a fan of because of the floral.
   repurchase? no
4. sephora collection rouge infusion gloss in peony (.068oz--mini, ret. $14 for .152oz [$6.26]) -- i already have one of these already... so i'll be passing this off. the shade is really pretty, it's a little pinker than i'm comfortable with, but it's nice.
   repurchase? not this shade
5. glamglow supercleanse (1oz--mini, ret. $14) -- try all of the glamglow!
   repurchase? maybe
6. bumble and bumble hairdresser's invisible oil primer (1oz--mini, ret. $27 for 8.5oz [$3.18]) -- i'm super interested in trying this. has a realllly nice scent. i likes it.
   repurchase? maybe
7. 'coupon' for an extra 50 points on the next in-store purchase

approximate product value: ~$36.77 (if this were a complete box)
