Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil (0.07 oz) $39
A transformative, clear, lightweight hair oil that works for all types of dry hair.
This lightweight, quick-absorbing oil features a luxurious blend of six oils and two extracts that soften, tame flyaways, and add shine immediately and over time. Hair looks and feels healthy, smooth, silky, and conditioned. It detangles hair, helps strengthen against breakage, and dramatically reduces frizz. Featuring UVA/UVB filters and heat styling protection, the clear-as-day formula can be used on all types and colors of hair.
IcanGWP: This lightweight oil has lovely smell and it is just a right amount. It is a mix of vanilla and lavender. It made my hair shiny and silky. People with oily hair might want to use just tiny bit. One bottle will last very long. This is absolutely a party prep item. Just add a few drop to your hair for heavenly smell and shine. I only hope that it comes with sprayer.
Lancôme HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara in Excessive Black (0.135 oz) $12 – $27.50
A mascara that creates full body, high-volume lashes in a single stroke.
Get dramatic eye looks when you brush on Hypnôse Drama. The full contact brush features an S-shaped curve to grasp and coat lashes for bold, eye-popping, full-body fringe. The result is an immediate false-lash look.
IcanGWP: Lancome are proud of their mascaras and they should! I like to have this mascara with me on a trip when I have to pack light. It won’t be able to replace fiber + mascara look but it is good enough. It is one of the mascara that you can spend very little time with and it sets beautifully. You will get all length, thickness, curl that you want. Lancome Hypnose holds curl really well compared to other mascaras.
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 in Original (0.1 oz) $7.50 Available in 5 scents
An emollient balm that soothes and relieves dry, chapped, irritated lips.
This hydrating lip balm is enriched with superior skin conditioners and antioxidants to heal cracked and chapped lips. Grapefruit and ginger refresh and soothe, while shea butter and avocado oil soften and condition lips. Vitamin E, green tea extract, and antioxidants help protect lips from damage caused by free radicals.
IcanGWP: Mint fans, this is a mint lip balm! You will feel the sensation big time. It doesn’t smell or makes me feel like men’s product at all. Main ingredients are beeswax and shea butter. People love this lip balm (4.5 stars).
NARS Audacious Mascara (0.12 oz) $26
A buildable, all-in-one mascara with an exclusive, lash-catching brush that separates, lengthens, and amplifies.
Designed with over 200 molded bristles and lengthening hooks, NARS’ lash-catching brush evenly grips and coats lashes from roots to tips. It simultaneously separates, lengthens, and amplifies, while the tapered tip finishes off the inner and outermost lashes and enhance the lower lashes. An extraordinary balance of suppleness and staying power, the uniquely fluid, first-to-market formula creates incredible volume and definition that is lightweight and long-wearing.
IcanGWP: The average review on Sephora site is 3 stars. Reviews are truly split – some people love it some people hate it. I watched the tutorial video on Sephora site here and it seems like they brush it up and down plus spin the brush. Personally, I am not a big fan of rubber style brush. However, I like the liquid itself. It is a little bit wet compared to other mascaras. So I think it depends on how people use this product and their lashes. I like it with Tarte fiber very much. It is a good option to add on top of your day-time mascara before party! If you have tried them, let us know what do you think?
Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray (0.5 oz) $14 – $30
A weightless setting spray that keeps makeup looking just-applied for up to 16 hours.
Is makeup meltdown ruining your midnight mojo? Mist on this weightless spray to give your makeup serious staying power. Developed in an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, this groundbreaking, clinically tested formula is suitable for all skin types and features patented Temperature Control Technology. It actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and concealer in place—even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions. The result? Smoother-looking skin and vibrant makeup that lasts all day (or night) without melting, cracking, fading, or settling into fine lines.
Unlike similar products on the market that feel sticky or tight on your skin, the sprayer delivers a microfine mist that goes on so light, you’ll hardly feel it—and once you’ve applied it, you won’t even know it’s there.
Suggested Usage:
-Shake well.
-Apply after makeup.
-Hold the bottle 8 to ten inches away and mist face two to four times, in an “X” and “T” formation.
IcanGWP: This is a great product for party prep sample bag. Average reviews is 4.2 stars from 3,629 peoples. Lots of reviews and people love it either use it before or after makeup. I think that it is a nice lightweight product that do what it promises. Just in case you have sensitive skin, it smells like alcohol a bit.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Oil Infusion Color & Care in 06 Bubbly Grenadine (0.11 oz) $14 (new product)
A translucent balm-in-oil formula, enriched with kendi oil and shea butter, for a new sensorial experience.
This hybrid formula nourishes and moisturizes the lips with a translucent color and a unique wet shine look. The new formula features fresh juicy colors and an addictively sensorial feel.
IcanGWP: This is a lip gloss/lip balm/lip tint product (sort of everything). No smell, flavor or wax – oil only. Isn’t that interesting? It is pretty runny and not sticky AT ALL. However it doesn’t stay put (because of OIL). I would add this product on top of lipstick to add shine and color or use it alone when I do not need much makeup on. It is quite a unique product. For those with very dry lips and dislike lip products that contain wax (most do) you may give this product a try. This is a game changer for you!
GLAMGLOW THIRSTYCLEANSE™ Daily Hydrating Cleanser (0.5 oz) $14 – $39 – exclusive
THIRSTYCLEANSE™ is a revolutionary daily cleanser that combines the power of mud and the performance of foam for a new daily cleansing experience. It transforms from a luxurious mud into a moisture-rich foaming lather to gently and effectively rinse away makeup, dirt, and impurities while deeply moisturizing your skin. It is formulated with rare Brazilian yellow clay to help to remineralize the skin, pure green coconut water to immediately boost skin for intense hydration, olive milk rich in olive lipids and proteins to replenish skin, and plumeria flower blossom extract rich in omega 3, 6, and 9 to restore the skin barrier function. Indian gooseberry revitalizes and restores natural skin clarity while TEAOXI® olive leaf powder delivers natural linoleic acid to maintain moisture. Designed to create a hydrated, silky, and dewy fresh complexion, it helps maintain results of your current weekly treatments for healthy-looking, beautiful skin.
Suggested Usage:
-Apply one to two pumps onto fingertips; apply gently over dry face.
-With remaining product left on hands, lightly add water to hands and vigorously rub together to start the foaming lather.
-Apply lather to face and lightly add more water in circular motions to increase foaming lather.
-Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
-Gently pat dry with towel.
-Use morning and/or night.
IcanGWP: This product is for dry application and then you add water to rinse it off. It smell a little bit like coconut. People with dry skin seem to dislike it and people with combination, acne prone or oily skins love it. Listen to your skin! If you tend to like cleanser with emollient like oil or mud, you might give this product a try.
Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfume (0.06 oz)
What I thought?
Pros: No vial samples. Sephora is very generous to give 8 free deluxe size samples for a $25 minimum purchase! My estimation is around $48+ value. There are two lip products, two mascaras, one hair oil, one cleanser, one makeup setting spray and a perfume. If you are feeling like trying out new makeup, this is the right bag for you. Sephora lip oil is my favorite. It is season appropriate too! Products are good for drier weather.
Cons: People with dry skin will more likely to enjoy these samples. Listen to your skin.
