I put off buying it forever. I've always used L'Oreal Vouluminous and was very happy with it and kept getting mixed reviews on if DiorShow was better. Sephora sent me one as a deluxe sample a while back and I was HOOKED. It is amazing and totally worth the money IMO. It's like amped up Voluminous.

You need to try it! Buy the "trial kit"/"travel size" bag first so you get an idea and a little bit of everything. (eye cream, lip balm, face wash, shower gel, etc).

From there, you'll know what you like the most..That's what I did, I ended up LOVING the face mask, foaming face wash and lip balm! So now, I buy them in normal size.

I bought the Diorshow Mascara a couple of months ago, like it but don't love it. I love the Prescriptives' Lash Envy more. I am a total junkie when it comes to beauty products. Sephora is the best toy store. Right now I am trying out Murad.

Ohhh nooo, I didn't need ANOTHER must try!

Nikki+2 · 08-20-2008, 12:59 PM

Well all this Sephora talk prompted me to place an order. I ordered:

Juice Beauty exfoliating cleanser
Caudalie Instant Foaming Cleanser
Korres Vitamin Concealer

Over $50 qualifies for free shipping (and you always get 3 free samples) and I used code 'Shiseido' to get a free deluxe sample of Shiseido SPF 55 Ultimate Sun Protection Cream.

If you don't want to order $50 use code 'V12R8A' for free shipping over $25. I used it last week and it works.

Here are a bunch of other Sephora codes- Sephora Coupon Codes - all coupons, discounts and promo codes for sephora.com

I've also used the 'eyesample' code successfully. Also make sure you sign up for the Beauty Insider. You get a deluxe sample for every 100 points. Sephora is an hour away for me so I do a lot of online shopping (obviously

)

I always check this site before ordering anything online. It always has great codes.

I LOVE Sephora. It's kind of overwhelming though!

I purchased Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream after trying a sample. It is $59 (yikes!!) but this stuff works. I had a milia under my eye and after using the sample for 2 days it was GONE. I think it's important to know when to splurge and when to save. And I think this is an area it's okay to splurge in!

I have never tried DiorShow mascara but have tried pretty much every other high-end mascara out there and ALWAYS go back to my L'oreal Waterproof Voluminous. It stays and holds a curl all day, other formulas make my lashes go limp.

I also purchased Anastasia brow powder and brush and I really like this. The color isn't too dark and it just gives a nice polished look.

I am getting married and was on a mad hunt for foundation that didn't contain Titanium Dioxide (washes out in photography). I purchased and returned Laura Mercier's foundation. It just did not cover very well throughout the day. I went to a MAC counter instead and tried Studio Fix, which I really like so far.

Another great product is the Urban Decay Primer Potion. It is an eyeshadow base that makes it last all day, prevents creasing, etc. I have tried other brands and this has been the best so far. The only thing I don't like is the packaging. It's pretty but difficult to get the product out.

I am a makeup fanatic!!!

AVERYxo · 08-20-2008, 05:19 PM

since we are on the subject of LASHES and MASCARA.. i must chime in again!

there is this stuff by Jan Marini.. you put it on at night and it makes lashes grow in thick and gorgeous!!!

it speeds up the growth time and is AMAZING!

they also have it in an everyday mascara..

(my mom offers it for her clients!

)

great stuff!!!!

I'm also an esthetician although I don't practice. I remember when that first came out and so many esties from the forums were trying it. Jan Marini either has no minimum or a very low one so almost everyone with a license was buying it. The results were amazing! Many people were posting before/after pics and it it truly amazing stuff.

Nikki+2 · 08-21-2008, 07:49 AM

I just placed another order. I've been stuck in the house all week due to the tropical storm and I'm doing waaay too much online shopping. Here's what I got:

Cargo Blu-Ray collection
I'm sure the "high def" angle is a gimick but it's getting good reviews on Makeup Alley and I have a blush and lip gloss sample from my last Sephora order and I like them.

Also the usual 3 free samples plus a deluxe beauty insider sample, I chose a Too Faced mascara and I used code 'backstage' to get a free Laure Mercier mini lipstick. Fun, fun fun!

Too Cute Teddy · 08-21-2008, 07:53 AM

Oh no! I knew I shouldn't have read this thread

I have been looking for a good moisturizer with spf that doesn't irritate sensitive skin - any recommendations? Since I turned 25 (I know it sounds silly) I've really started to worry about getting fine lines and want to prevent that!

yeah. she has this other stuff she has been using.. don't remember the name of it! (same idea)

but she still has some of the jan marini stuff!

i didn't know you were an esthetician..

you remind me of my mom(which is a very good thing!

) (although my mom is a little older

) but you're so cute and very close with your daughter, it seems!

love it!

Safire · 08-21-2008, 03:10 PM

I love going into Sephora and browsing around, but I'm trying to cut back on cosmetics purchases (I've got way too much already) so I tend to just go in and browse.

Did you all know about Sephora's perfume samples? They will allow you 3 samples a day.

Just ask for which fragrances you want and they'll take the bottles and fill up tiny little atomizers for you. They're perfect purse-size perfumes! I always have one or two in my bag. And the benefit is you get to try out the fragrance for a few days before deciding if you like it - let it mix with your chemistry, see how much your man likes it on you...

Thank you! I'll take that as a huge complement since you seem to be close with your mom.
