december 2015: sephora play!

hi guys! guess what arrived today? my december sephora play! box, yay!! (theme: oh what fun) most of the items in this box are out of my price range as far as repurchasing, but i'm interested in trying them out nonetheless. ~Lin-chan ^.~

1. fresh seaberry moisturizing face oil (5ml--mini, $18.50 for 15ml [$6.17]) -- i still haven't fully gotten over the fact that face oils are ok for combo-oily skintypes. but i will try to give this a go. the scent is very interesting. no one oil in this blend stands above the others.
   repurchase? probably not
2. dr. brandt poreDermabrasion (.25oz--mini, ret. $58 for 2oz [$7.25]) -- you guys know, i'm all about the face scrubs. can't wait to try it!
   repurchase? probably not ($$$!)
3. smashbox full exposure shadow mini with S3 & M3 (.06oz--mini, ret. $52 for palette [$7.43]) -- i actually already have these two shades from the travel full exposure palette ($24), so i will be passing this one along.
   repurchase? nah
4. makeup forever aqua eyes pencil in 0L (matte black) (.025oz--mini, ret. $19 for .04oz [$11.88]) -- i'm not totally sure why but i never really liked these. i'll give this another go, but it might get passed on.
   repurchase? nah
5. nude advanced renewal serum (7 sample cards (7ml), ret. $78 for 30ml [$18.20]) -- i'm so lazy with serums. if i do end up trying this out, i'll have to update this post later.
   [weight was not listed on the packaging. so weighed with a food scale, it said about 1ml]
   repurchase? probably not
6. viktor & rolf flowerbomb (sample, ret. $80 for 1oz) -- i have never tried this perfume before. i knew it was widely popular and "everyone" loves it, but the flower part kind of kept me away..not to mention the fragrance and migraines thing. BUT this actually does smell really nice, and i'm interested in trying this one out!
   repurchase? probably not
7. 'coupon' for an extra 50 points on the next in-store purchase

approximate product value: ~$51
