I was at CF Polo Park earlier this month. I saw this Sephora. I was reminded that July was my birth month and I needed to pick up my free gift.
I probably drop by Sephora a couple of times a year. It's usually in July for my gift. I do drop by to browse here and there.
My favourite section is by the checkout. There are smaller, almost travel-sized items. I like to try the smaller sizes first. If I like them, I'll get the larger versions next time. If I dislike them, you'll never see me get it again.
I am a fan of lip balm. I didn't need any, but I always like to see if there are any new varieties.
I do miss Formula X, Sephora's own nail polish. It decided to scrap the line roughly a decade ago. I loved it, as the polish endured and the colours were awesome. It explains why I don't drop by any Sephora store as much as I used to.
I found a small bottle of watermelon toner. I love watermelon. I am always using toner. I went ahead and picked up a bottle.
At the checkout, I got the nicest woman. She asked for my phone number associated with my Beauty Insider account. She found me and wished me a happy birthday. She asked me when my birthday was. I said that it was tomorrow. She seemed so elated that I came into the store a day before it.
She let me know what perks I could get. I ended up getting the Summer Fridays set. The jet lag mask was intriguing.
I paid for my toner with a credit card. I tapped and was done. She asked if I needed a bag. I declined, as I had a large one with me from Hot Topic.
I thanked her and left the store. I continued to shop before I called it a day.
When I got to the hotel, I tried the Summer Fridays lip butter balm. Wow! It glided onto my lips effortlessly. I loved the scent and how buttery it was. My lips felt so good when I woke up after applying the balm before I went to bed.
The jet lag mask was cool. I treated it as a moisturizer. You use a thin layer of it on your face. Let it sit there for at least ten minutes and and wipe it off when you apply it for the first time. I didn't experience an allergy reaction, but you could.
When you're fine having it on you face, you can leave it on to hydrate it before you go to bed. It's nice.
The watermelon toner is excellent. I love the scent. It's effective removing impurities from my face at the end of the day. I have oily skin and I feel that it soothes my face as I use it. I'd get the larger bottle once I'm done with my current one.
I loved dropping by for my birthday gift and getting watermelon toner. I'd return again when I'm back at this mall.
