hello ... NEWS - dior bb cream discontinued?!

Image
**This was supposed to be posted on 2/16/19** While at a beauty counter today I inquired about different foundations/bb cream just to see if I might want to try something new. I showed the beauty stylist what I currently use (Dior Hydra Life BB Cream (what I wear daily to work), Dior Forever, Benefit, and Mac). The beauty stylist informed me that they heard the Dior Hydra Life BB Cream has been discontinued ... My was that news to me!! As I was typing my "hello 2019" post, I began searching online to see if what they told me was accurate or not bc I went to a local Sephora the other day and saw a bunch in person. After my online search, I think the beauty stylist was right as I cannot find the BB cream online!! So I called all the Sephora stores on Oahu - 2 are sold out of my shade, and 2 have a limited amount in stock. Of course I put them all on hold (lol)! I'm on the hunt for new BB Cream. If you have any recommendations, please let me know what you like to use

You might even want to stop by, browse around, ask for a sample, try it out for a week then decide if that is what you are looking for. *** Will share another post with some other finds!  #Purchased Dior - Hydra Life BB Creme Broad Spectrum SPF 30 { linked } | Regular Price: $60.00  When BB cream was all the rage, I wanted one that complimented my skin with both makeup & skincare features.

hello my first #haul from ... The Face Shop

Image
Hello again! One thing about me is that I ♥ Korean (K Beauty) skin care! Today I'll be sharing what I got from one of the Face Shop's in Hawaii (Instagram: @thefaceshophi / International Website  ). >> Have you tried any of these items? If not, what items/brands do you use? BTW: Will also be sharing picks/purchases from the Sephora Beauty Insider Sale this weekend! #MustHaves Herb Day Cleansing Tissue (70 sheets)  and Herb Day Lip & Eye Makeup Remover Tissue (30 sheets) Ever since my sister & I discovered these tissues, we've been obsessed! The Herb Day tissues are makeup removing wipes with plant extracts that gently cleanses away makeup/residue. Personally I am a fan of these because they 1) smell so refreshing & 2) is gentle on your skin . For everyday makeup, this wipe is effective. With a full face of makeup, you may need to go over a few times. The packaging for the 70 pack is has a plastic open/close so the tissue will not dry
