Sephora favourites

I am quite lucky to have a Sephora pretty close to me. It is always very crowded though so I like to shop early.

Sephora has some brands you cannot find anywhere else in Sweden, and their own-brand items are reasonably priced and work well. None of them are outstanding in my opinion, but there is nothing wrong in being good value for money and decent quality. I have tried their lipstick, bath and shower products, exfoliating powders and use their facial wipes every morning. My favourite shower gel was Rolling in the Grass, until they discontinued it.

The coconut shower gel is not the best I have ever tried (the award for that goes to The Body Shop’s Coconut, now bankrupt in Sweden) but this is way cheaper and pretty decent. The bottle looks as though it would fall over if you as much as look at it, but is pretty stable. They also have Cherry Blossom, Monoi, and Cotton Flower, but none of them match up to Rolling in the Grass. This shower gel cost $7.

The wipes are second best only to Garnier Micellar Wipes (now discontinued) and I love them. They do not sting, dry my skin out or smell overpowering. They also have a very practical clip closure which keeps the wipes moist. Each pack lasts me three weeks. Each 20-wipe pack costs $4 on sale this weekend.
