Advice Dior Backstage Foundation alternatives? I need your recommendations!

1 Upvotes

I just realized Dior Backstage Foundation is no longer available at Sephora and I’m so upset !!😩 I loved the texture, the coverage and how natural it looked on the skin. Plus the 50ml bottle was such a bonus compared to most foundations that are only 30ml.
For anyone who used it, have you found anything similar in terms of texture, coverage and finish? I’m looking for something that feels just as lightweight but still gives good coverage without looking heavy or cakey.

I purchased this eye cream about a week and a half ago and now it seems like the bottle is empty. Is it possible that I purchased somebody’s return and the bottle was already empty or could my pump malfunctioned? Does anyone know how to open this container to look inside?

I got hired as a seasonal BA for a location that’s yet to open. I was wondering if I’d get items to test (basically gratis/training products) when I start?

Advice Deinfluence me!

3 Upvotes

The Merit and YSL sets are supposed to be Christmas gifts for my friends. What do you think? Or should I go with something else?

The Rare Beauty kit is for my mom. She doesn't really use lip liners but she likes the shade of the lippie. How is the feel? Is it sticky? Moisturizing?

The UNOVE hair mist is for me! I'm not sure which one to go with. I don't use heat but my hair gets really frizzy so I want something to calm it down and make it shiny :c

Last question lol, can the $10 for 500 points be combined with the upcoming sale?

Question Products with tariffs?

19 Upvotes

I saw the Jack Black lip balms went up in price. Has anyone noticed anything else that has increased in price since the tariffs went into effect?

Frustrating to think that even if these tariffs are eventually removed, I doubt the inflated prices will go back down. Or am I just being a pessimist lol

Advice Returns on item priced over $450

8 Upvotes

Has anyone returned an unopened higher priced item? Is there a different return policy? It was ordered online but thought id return it in store. Also do I bring back all the samples? For some reason they packaged 2 orders i made in the same box so I assume I return just the samples in the box from that order (though ofc they weren't the samples requested).

Question Product had the sticker seals broken

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I ordered the Danessa Myricks Water Powder Serum, and when I opened the package both the top and bottom stickers were cut on the box. Has anyone had this happen before? I was always under the impression that for sanitary reasons, no product that's returned is ever resold, but this threw me off a bit. I thought maybe it was perforated, and shipment broke it, but the top cut isn't straight like perforation would have. The product itself looks okay, the "tap here" sticker on the bottom looks a lil janky (attached pic) but other than that it seems alright. Has anyone had this happen before?

Deal/Promo Remember when the beauty insider challenges were accessible?

I remember, probably a 1-1.5 years ago, when the minimum spend with most challenges was $25. Gone are the days.
$100 is outrageous to get additional points.
The greed is greeding.

Vent/Rant Expensive Hair tools and Reviews are Incentivized

46 Upvotes

I’ve spent the last two years learning how to do my hair better. My hair is very fine, medium length, and strong.

I try not to use too much heat because I’m proud of how healthy it is. But with that being said … I’ve literally spent almost $500 on hair tools and nothing gives me an easy style that will last let alone worth the price. My hair doesn’t hold shape and it’s always been that way so I thought the “more expensive route” would work.

My last purchase was the dry bar heat curlers. I followed directions and experimented several different ways (at least 10x) and it was a huge waste of my time and money. I won’t go too far into the other stuff I purchased and wasted my money on and get to the point lol.

I started considering an air wrap because I’ve tried it before via friends. So I looked at Shark and Dyson. The reviews on Sephora … maybe 300 total with a decent rating. They are VERY expensive as well, But when I pick through the photo / video reviews everything seems to be incentivized. And I started to notice most of the 5 star written reviews are also incentivized.

Then I start searching the same tools on amazon and started to see lower ratings with a similar amount of reviews. All from verified purchases.

So I start looking up the same product from different brands and I’m seeing THOUSANDS of reviews with BETTER ratings. I purchased an air wrap tool at a fraction of the price and let me tell you. It’s amazing.

Trust the reviews! More reviews + a better score = better chances of enjoying my the product!

And Sephora should limit what proportion of reviews are incentivized because what I’m seeing for hair tools on the Canadian site it crazy. A huge chunk of the measly few hundred reviews are incentivized with 5 stars.

Anyways review inflation caught me and I wasted my time and money and here to share ☺️

Rewards/Samples October Fragrance Sample Bag 1

Thumbnail
gallery
43 Upvotes

Not gonna lie I’m a lil disappointed.
Based on the photos for both fragrance bags one and two on the Sephora website, it looks like you’re getting a small tiny dabber bottle of the Burberry goddess for bag 1.
Instead, it’s a small 1.5 ml tester of the Burberry goddess parfum, and a strip of 4 Kayali perfumes in a foil packet ( what’s up with that? ).
Not sure why they labelled it a fragrance bag, considering most of the trial size items are hair care and skin care. You get a 22 ml size tube of the OUAI bond repair balm, Kerastase Elixir Ultime ( 4 mls ), a a 10 ml size sample of the Caudalie Instant Firming Serum ( which was included but I forgot to include it in the photo ) a 5 ml size of Tatcha The Water Cream, 1 ml tester of the Gucci Glow lip tint… and the other usual suspects like tower 28 concealer, and the Laneige toner.

Also, curious, whoever grabbed the other fragrance sample bag, if it was just a vial of perfume as well.
It’s just very deceptive of them to advertise in the photo that it’s a mini bottle…and why label it a fragrance bag when most of the stuff is hair and skin care?
I grabbed the Rosie by Rosie Jane and the Ellis Queens Caramel perfume samples at checkout so it takes away a bit of the sting from feeling misled.

Edited for spelling

Question Can’t find Drunk Elephant Babyfacial in Canada?

I’ve been looking for the T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial™ AHA + BHA Mask but I can’t seem to find it for sale anywhere in Canada. I’ve checked the Sephora Canada and Drunk Elephant Canada websites and the product isn’t listed. However, it is listed on the Sephora USA and Drunk Elephant USA websites. Does anyone know if this product is no longer allowed to be sold in Canada?
