october 2015: sephora play!

hi guys! we've finally got our second sephora play! box in the mail! (theme: secrets to dewy skin) it was supposed to be delivered on thursday, but you know...usps sucks, so anyway..... ~Lin-chan ^.~

1. boscia detoxifying black cleanser (1oz--mini, $28 for 5oz [$5.60]) -- yay! now i've got 3 unopened bottles of this to try! lol. i think i'll pass off at least one to a friend so they can try too. this is an interesting looking product. it's a blackish grayish color, and the scent and appearance are reminiscent of michael todd's charcoal cleanser.
   repurchase? maybe
2. boscia konjac cleansing sponge with bamboo charcoal (mini, ret. $15 [$5.33 based on mini 3 pack]) -- i have the ecotools version of this sponge and i've been liking it. i've been wanting to try the boscia one, but wasn't totally into the price. comparing the two sponges when wet, the boscia one is a lot spongier and softer feeling than the ecotools one.
   repurchase? maybe
3. sephora collection pearl sheet mask (1 mask, ret. $6) -- i'm slowly getting into the whole sheet mask phenomenon. i think price wise, buying them in bulk from asian websites like imomoko or something is more cost-effective, but i'm interested in trying this out.
   repurchase? maybe
4. belif true cream aqua bomb (.34oz--mini, ret. $38 for 1.68oz [$7.69]) -- do i even need to repeat myself about this? LOVE.
5. repurchase? uh, duh.
6. fresh black tea age delay instant infusion treatment toner (.5oz--mini, ret. $48 for 4oz [$6]) -- i'm interested in trying this out. i typically use toner twice a day, but it's alcohol based and it's not exactly as good for you. so this will definitely be worth a shot, but it is kind of expensive.
   repurchase? maybe
7. dr. jart+ ceramidin day tint spf 15 (oz--mini, ret. $48 for 1.7oz [$]) -- this tint is definitely not for me. it's a little too dark and yellow toned for me. and the scent is a little off-putting. like a slightly medicinal sunscreen type smell. it's extremely familiar, but i can't place it.
   repurchase? no
8. atelier cologne collection azur - mandarine glaciale (sample, ret. $85 for 1oz) -- definitely not for me. i can smell the hints of citrus and ginger, but that's about it. it's one of those scents that i think is borderline gender neutral. it smells slightly masculine to me, and teh paul thinks it's too feminine for guys. so i'm not sure about this one!
   repurchase? no
9. 'coupon' for an extra 50 points on the next in-store purchase

approximate product value: ~$30.62+
