march 2016: sephora play!

hi guys! i didn't make it to my apartment office until today to pick up my sephora play box! but i haz it nao! (theme: the perfection collection) i'm excited to try these out! ~Lin-chan ^.~
  1. kat von d tattoo liner in trooper (.007oz--mini, $19 for .02oz [$6.65]) -- you guys already know that this is my favorite liquid liner! also, i didn't feel the need to swatch it, since i've already done so in the past.
    repurchase? yushhhh
  2. sephora collection the perfectionist: airbrush sponge (ret. $12) -- yay! another sponge to add to the i don't really use sponges collection!! dry, it seems very soft and springy, similar to my beauty blender. i'll have to give this a try and let you guys know!
    repurchase? dunno
  3. smashbox photo finish primer oil (.1oz--mini, ret. $42 for 1oz [$4.20]) -- yay a new dry shampoo to try out! the only issue i have is its light floral scent, but it's not super overpowering, so it should be interesting. haven't tried dry shampoo in this format before.
    repurchase? no
  4. murad invisiblur perfecting shield (.17oz--mini, ret. $65 for 1oz [$11.05]) -- this has the feel of those siliconey primers that i like, but it spreads out a lot thinner. it has a slight indescribable scent, but it's not super noticeable.
    repurchase? probably not, for the price
  5. fresh soy face cleanser (.6oz--mini, ret. $38 for 5.1oz [$4.47]) -- i've had many a foil sample of this in the past and never got around to using them, guess i've got an excuse now? the scent doesn't seem very strong, so that's good.
    repurchase? maybe
  6. maison martin margiela replica beach walk (sample, ret. $125 for 3.4oz) -- this is a very strange perfume. when i initially sprayed it, it smelled exactly like a walk along the beach. then i waited a minute or two and it smelled floral somehow. waited another minute or two, and it smelled like a sweaty sunscreened person on the beach (in a good way). kind of bizarre, i don't, but i don't like it.repurchase? no
  7. mysterious empty sample container -- this was included with almost no information. from what i gather, maybe you bring it with you to the store to get color matched? the page in the booklet regarding this just says stuff about their colorIQ thing. but why would you bring this little guy with you to the store when they have gazillions of these there already?? so weird.
  8. 'coupon' for an extra 50 points on the next in-store purchase
approximate product value: ~$38
