Ah, I've finally caught up to the new bag style.

Welcome to the new, recyclable (apparently) bag for Sephora. It's also usable but luckily it's not adding waste if you don't want a ton of bags each month.

Info sheet.

Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Atomic Heat Mask ($2.94) - I don't remember this being super good or not so good, so it must have been just okay. It's weird because I typically really love PTR products but I just don't remember finding this amazing.

Stellar Brilliant Primer ($7.50) - I didn't really notice a difference with this primer. It's supposed to be radiant and I just didn't get anything special from this.

Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly ($5.00) - This is really moisturizing! Like I've mentioned more times than I can count, I really like gel/jelly moisturizers and find they hold the moisture more than cream or liquid ones.

Sephora Collection Lashcraft Big Volume ($5.60) - This is another of those mascaras where it adds tint and maybe adds a bit of volume, but nothing extreme. I like it for that, but most probably wouldn't.

Nudestix Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Pencil (Kiss) ($26.00) - Wow, a full-size item. I checked it three times and it apparently is full size? I like the shade enough but it's not a shade that I wear constantly. It'll probably be put in the destash pile to my mom once I go through my makeup again.

Tom Ford Black Orchid (Sample) - I don't really like this scent.

Swatch of Nudestix.

This bag was valued at $47.04. I liked the bag okay and it seemed to fit my quiz, but I wasn't blown away by any of the items in the bag.
