Sephora Favorites: Skin Wonderland

Today I'm back with another Sephora Favorites set exclusively from Sephora inside JCPenney.  If you guys can't tell, I'm a huge fan of these sephora favorites set that are more skincare related and have purchased several of these throughout the year.  I know Sephora put out a bunch of these favorites set throughout the year as well but for some reason, I'm just not that drawn to them.  Maybe it's the fact that they don't come with a makeup bag or the fact that they're a bit more on the pricey side.

This time around, the set was a bit more expensive at $39 but it came with 11 products + a makeup bag.  I believe I wanted the set for the mainly for the FAB cream, Fresh Sugar lip balm, Glam Glow mask, Kate Somerville Exfolikate, and Josie Maran whipped argan oil body butter.  But more on the products later.

I was kind of disappointed that the bag that came with this set isn't as cute as those of the previous sets.  I feel like they were going with the holiday theme-ish bag so we got this light gold bag that resembles a worn leather.  I wish it were a different design but I can't really complain.  

The products that were included in this set are:

• Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm (7 ml)
• Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio Repair Mask (15 g)
• Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser (30 ml)
• Shiseido Ultimate Power Infusing Concentrate (15 ml)
• Marula Pure Beauty Oil Foaming Cleansing Oil (30 ml)
• Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (2.2 g)
• First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream (1 oz)
• Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment (15 g)
• Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster (0.33 fl oz)
• Kate Somerville Skincare Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment (15 ml)
• Josie Maran Cosmetics Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Apricot Vanilla (2 fl oz)

Like I've mentioned above, I really wanted the Fresh sugar lip treatment in this kit for some odd reason.  (Yes, I am aware that a full size of the lip treatment would have cost less than this kit but this kit comes with so many other products!)  As always, I went straight to Sephora inside JCPenney after I heard about the existence of this kit and took it home with me without a hesitation.  I swear these Sephora Favorites sets from SiJCP are my weakness!  Whenever I see a new one, especially the skincare related sets, I have to go and get it.  I think it's a great way to venture into the high end skincare products that Sephora has to offer.  

Did you manage to get this set?  If so, what products are you most excited about?

Sephora Favorites: Skin-Fatuations

I'm back with another skincare set from Sephora inside JCPenney!  I love it when Sephora comes out with these skincare sets.  I was a bit surprised because I thought they only come out once per season or something but the last one they had came out around April of this year, around the time of their VIB sale.  

I managed to grab these before they even made it to the floor (I think).  I went to Sephora a day or two after I heard about this set and had to ask an employee if they had any.  I was actually afraid they would come back out with the other set that I already had but luckily it was this set!  I managed to grab one for myself and one for my sister, since I wanted to try a bunch of the same things that she did.  Figured if we both had our own set, there would be less arguing between us!

Unlike the previous set, this set came with 9 high end skin care products in travel size, instead of 11.  I would say the sizes of these products are pretty generous.  There is ONE repeat from the previous set (Dr. Jart+ BB Cream) but the size that is included in this set is a lot bigger than the previous one.

Like the previous set, the products all came in a cute little makeup bag.  It is basically the same bag that was in the previous set except it's light periwinkle-ish blue and the little ribbon for the zipper is cuter in the previous set.  (It was more of a tassel rather than a ribbon looped through the zipper.)  Other than those two differences, I would say the bags are the same, but I think the previous bag is a tad bit cuter.

The products that were included in this set are:

• Boscia Black Charcoal Blotting Papers (25 count)
• Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask (0.5 oz.)
• Philosophy Purity Made Simple (1.0 oz.)
• Murad Invisiblur (0.17 oz.)
• Dr. Jart+ Beauty Balm SPF 45 (0.5 oz.)
• Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil in Timeless Coral (0.16 oz.)
• First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser (1.0 oz.)
• GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment (0.3 oz.)
• Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloth (10 count)

I am very happy that I was able to get my hands on this set!  I'm excited to see what else Sephora would include in their future sets but at the same time crying because I know I'll be running out to get some as soon as I hear about them!  I can't wait to try some of these out and maybe do a first impression post with a handful of different trial size products in the future!

Have you heard about this set and did you manage to get your hands on it?  What is the one product you are most excited to try in this set?

Sephora Favorites: Skinstant Radiance

Behold skincare lovers!  Sephora inside JCPenney has come out with a new skincare set that is one of the best things I've seen yet this year!  I always love these Sephora Favorites sets, especially the ones from JCPenney.  

I managed to get my little fingers on this set before they were all sold out.  The only regret I have is that I didn't get it during Sephora's VIB sale.  Unfortunately (or rather fortunately...?) I am not a VIB member so I only got 4 days to do my shopping, and out of those 4 days I was away for 3.  Sadly when I went to my local Sephora inside JCPenney, the set was already sold out on the last day of the sale.  So I did what any sane person would do and asked them when they were receiving their next shipment, and I went back on that day and snatched this little sucker up.

The set came with 11 high end skincare products in travel size.  Some of them are super small, (ie: bareMinerals Mineralixir) while others were very generous (ie: Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Cleansing Gel and St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Lotion)!

The set also came with this really cute make up bag that's a pale pink shade with some sparkly thread.  The bag is a decent size (way bigger than the ipsy bags!) and I can imagine myself using this when I travel.

The products that were included in the set are:

• Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel
• Josie Maran Argan Infinity Intensive Creamy Oil
• Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Lotion
• Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
• Glamglow Powermud Dualcleanse Treatment
• Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Cleansing Gel
• Boscia Tsubaki Oil-Infused Exfoliating Powder
• St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Lotion
• bareMinerals Mineralixirs 5-Oil Blend
• Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF45
• First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser

Right when I heard about this set, most likely from Nouveau Cheap, I knew I had to get my hands on it.  There were so many things I really wanted to try but could not justify splurging so much for the full size, like the Glamglow mask, First Aid Beauty cleanser, Boscia exfoliator, Dr. Jart+ bb cream,  and St. Tropez bronzing lotion.  On top of that, I knew I wanted to try products from Ole Henderiksen, Peter Thomas Roth, Murad, and Josie Maran.  I will say, I was surprised to find a Soap & Glory product in this set because I heard Soap & Glory products are being pulled from Sephora.

What is the one product that you are most excited about in this set?
