i got the fresh sugar lemon, and i don't know if you've smelled it or not (it might smell great on you!) but to me it smelled like bad dish soap... i don't even mind the smell of dish soap!  but it was like dish soap without the freshness (ironic, given the name).  i will use up perfumes i don't love but don't mind, but this one was just a no go for me and i gave it away.

Which code are you using that shows those choices? (Shiseido lippie, fresh sugar lemon, etc).  I'd love to pick up the Shiseido lippie  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Fresh - SUGARLEMON

21 Drops - YOURGIFT (one of the choices)

Man, that sucks! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I haven't smelled it before but I have a Fresh rollerball (Citron de Vigne) that I looove, and those lip balms are amazing too so I may try to drop by a store and try the Sugar Lemon instead of using the code.

I got the 21 Drops Passion when it was initially offered, and I'm not a fan. Smell doesn't do much for me and it fades suuuuper fast. Maybe that helps you narrow it down?

Thanks for the input!! I hate when scents fade too fast. I just noticed that it has rose oil in it, which means I have to pass it up because I'm allergic to roses (even though I love how they smell, ugh)

The 21 drops isn't a perfume- it's an essential oil blend. It isn't supposed to last very long. I have "sleep" and "hangover" and I really like them, so I think it would be worth trying out if that's what you are looking for.

I have sleep too (well HAD...it disappeared /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ) and love it. But when I say passion faded fast, I mean FAST!! But maybe that was just on me. I'll have to check out hangover though.

I've always wondered about these products.  Do you guys put on Sleep before bed?  Do you feel like it relaxes you as part of a nighttime routine or helps you get to sleep?  I'm a troubled sleeper, so these might be nice to add to my bedtime routine, the other ones seem a little gimmicky to me.

it works in the way that any aromatherapy thingy would work - using scents to help target a mood. i think the routine in itself would help + the scents they use to help you feel relaxed!

Is .25 oz a good size?

*Just looked it up online and sephora shows the full size at .28oz??? Can that be right????

*Never mind that was 2.5ml or .085oz

My little one from a prior kit sephora offered lasted me a really long time, perhaps like... 3-4 months using it 3-4 days per week or more. So I am definitely getting that one /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Cool, that's a great perk!!  I don't have any SiJCP near me, but they seem to have really interesting deals that get posted on here, I'm jealous.

 

[SaraP]

I prefer shopping the regular sephora. SJCP is much smaller and they have limited brands. I do stop in from time to time because their perks are often different, although I wouldn't know about most of them (Skin Care Set I'm talking about you!!!) without the wonderful ladies here

I decided to finally take advantage of the 3x fragrance points, and I ordered the Fresh Fresh Life fragrance.  I went through an entire sample vial of Fresh Life this week.

 I really like it because its so different from the other fragrances I have and I think it will be kind of fun for spring.  I usually go for something really feminine and floral, but this is not that!  It does remind me of unisex fragrances that were popular in the late 90s but also a little bit of one of the Gap fragrances that were insanely popular at the same time (Grass, Dream, Heaven....anyone remember these?!?!) so its kind of a throw back scent for me!  I guess with the 90s fashion being back in (for better or worse...crop tops don't look cute on most people) maybe 90s fragrances are "in" too????

I also got 100 pt perks of the Diorshow mascara (used to be my absolute favorite, then it had problems, want to re-try) and I got the Origins EyeZing (have avoided Origins skin care, but keep hearing good things about this one). And the NarsRouge code is still active if you are a Rouge member.  

I'll be doing my 2nd test of the GlamGlow eye mask tonight (unless the power goes out, supposed to be ice tonight in NC, already have 4" of snow, more on the way!!

) kind of disappointed that I couldn't get another sample of that with this order, but I waited too long and it disappeared

Hahaha, I don't know what it is, there is something in this perfume that reminds me of that line of fragrances, I'm not sure what it is or just the kind of more minimal style of the fragrance.  

I looked up the notes in Fresh Life, and it doesn't really overlap with any of the notes in the gap fragrances, so its not a literal "sameness" it just brought that out in my mind.  I think I was in middle school too when these came out...I remember saving my babysitting money for forever to be able to get Dream, and then really wanting to get Heaven..I was always a beauty addict.

I swear that I was thinking the exact same thing when I read Norther's post.  I try a lot of samples and think.... well, it doesn't smell good on me, but I can see why others like it, or I'm sure it smells great on other people.... but not the Fresh Sugar Lemon.  The only other sample that has ever compared for me was the Aromachology Clean and Fresh that I received in my Sample Society box a couple of months back.  It was so rank that I wondered if I had gotten a sample of something that went bad.  Is there such a thing?  Does perfume actually go bad?  I know it would have to take more than three years, as there are a few bottles on my dresser that haven't gotten the love that I have for the others.  Lol.

perfume does go bad. exposure to light and extreme temperatures are the usual culprits!

Hi ya'll, I'm super bad and just noticed a box that I should of returned for sephora online. It was for tweezers (that are mini not full size), a beauty blender (purchased 2 thinking I would love it) and some Harajuku mini fragrances (I though would be stocking stuffers but looked cheap). I missed the 90 return, so do you think I could return it in store? It's been 93 days.

Give it a shot!
