Briogeo -Superfoods Hair Pack
I bought this Briogeo Be Gentle Be Kind Superfoods Hair Pack from Sephora a while ago, but I wanted to make sure I had used it at least a few times before writing about it. If you get any of the Sephora Play subscription boxes, you might already be familiar with the Briogeo brand - I think there's been a few times where their haircare samples have been included in the boxes. That is how I became familiar with the brand myself, from trying out a few of their hair masks and conditioners. I'm especially a big fan of their Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-in conditioning spray, which leaves your hair super soft!
First off, I'm a sucker for fun packaging, which is what I liked about this Superfoods set to begin with - they're like the green juice bottles that I can't help checking out whenever I'm in Whole Foods or some fancypants juice bar, haha. Based on the Sephora item description, I think this set is suitable for all hair types if you want some extra hydration (who doesn't?)
"This nutrient-rich duo is formulated to visibly replenish dull and parched locks with a supercharged boost of vitamins and hair healthy ingredients. Be Gentle, Be Kind™ Matcha + Apple Replenishing Superfood Shampoo is a green-juice inspired shampoo, packed with matcha and apple to cleanse and help nourish hair without stripping it of moisture. The Be Gentle, Be Kind™ Kale + Apple Replenishing Superfood Conditioner is a smoothie-textured conditioner that will give your hair a daily dose of kale and apple to nourish and hydrate. By harnessing the power of fruit and vegetable fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, this regimen will support the vibrancy of hair and as the perfect companion to your wellness routine."
You can definitely smell the apple from both bottles - it's such a light and fresh scent, especially welcome in these humid summer days. My hair has been very soft after using these, and doesn't weigh my hair down at all. As an extra bonus, if you're in the market for some new "clean" products to add to your routine, this definitely fits the bill. Briogeo products continue to be my go-tos for hair products and I'm very happy that I tried out this set!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
The Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palettes have long been fan favorites, and there are currently three full-sized sets (plus a smaller set) available. I own the Naked Basics palette and Naked 3 palette as well, but I find that I keep coming back to this Naked 2 palette above. I luckily was able to snag this one during a Sephora member sale, and I'm so glad I did!
Admittedly, I'm not really one to go crazy with eye shadows, but I LOVE every color in this palette and find it to be the perfect day-to-night collection. They're all based on neutral shades which makes them great for everyday use. It's a pretty hefty product (compared to carrying one or two pots of shadows), but I guarantee you'll get a lot of use out of these shades, and it's a perfect range of colors to travel with. If you're in the market for a new set of eye shadows definitely take a look at this one!

Every year, I look forward to Sephora's birthday gift, which is available to all Sephora members during the month of their birthday. This year, the birthday freebie was a cute box of 2 mini Benefit products: They're Real! mascara and Watt's Up? highlighter. These are a great size for traveling with, and I am looking forward to trying them out!

Sephora by OPI Urban Ballerina Collection
I was super excited to see the colors of the new Sephora by OPI Urban Ballerina collection- the perfect balance of nude and trendy shades! For $18, the mini collection is a great way to try out all four shades: Leotard-Optional, The Way Tutu His Heart, Who's Spinning Tonight?, and Break a Leg-Warmer!
Overall, I'm v. happy with the colors in this set - they all look great on short, rounded nails, especially the Break a Leg-Warmer! (dark grey shade to the right). If you're looking to switch up your winter-to-spring nail color options, this set would be a great choice!

Bliss Spa Perfume
I love Bliss spas - I'm not really a "spa" kinda gal in general, but their products are great, smell awesome, and I loooooooove their Chocolate Pedicure at their spas. So I was super excited to find out that they recently came out with a Bliss-brand perfume. I expected it to smell v. fresh and light, just like how their spas do.
Sephora, which I believe is the exclusive seller of this perfume, describes this new perfume as: "This "in-spa-rational" fragrance captures the essence of Bliss spas: the best possible feeling in the world. It's a mood-boosting fragrance with a vibe that's fresh, hip, and modern. This scent is light enough to spritz every day for a signature fragrance—but exceptional enough to wear on special occasions. A fabulous French perfumer and longtime Bliss client formulated this beautiful blend with notes of vibrant citrus and dewy greens. Bright florals give way to lasting bergamot, cucumber, lily, ylang ylang, and violet."
I bought this perfume when it first came out, mainly to supplement my existing Sephora order so I could get free shipping. I figured it would smell good based on the description and my love of Bliss products. Turns out I was right, haha. It's v. light and a little citrus-y, great for every day use. I like the travel rollerball because it's, well, easy to travel with (go figure), plus it's a good way to try out a perfume without buying a full bottle. If anyone's in the market for a new perfume to try out, and you generally like lighter scents, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try!
