About to go to Sephora.

I'm about to go to sephora to treat myself after writing my finals and am looking for suggestions of things to check out. I'm mostly interested in makeup and skincare but I'm open to anything. For reference I have pale combination skin that's fairly sensitive. Thanks :)

Coola sunscreen! KORRES has great stuff too. I use the pomegranate gel-cream moisturizer

Ooh I've been looking for a new sunscreen so I'll definitely check that one out! I've never tried any Korres products but I love anything that smells even the slightest bit like pomegranate so I think I'll have to pick that up as well. Thanks!

Check out these ingredients in Coola before you buy. Just want to make sure you want that type of sunscreen chemical. (They do have a new mineral sunscreen which is much safer.)

Active Ingredients
Avobenzone (Sunscreen) 2.0%
Octinoxate (Sunscreen) 7.5%
Octisalate (Sunscreen) 4.0%
Octocrylene (Sunscreen) 7.0%

I agree with Chris that you might want to research which sunscreens are best paired with your skin type as not everyone can use or wants to use chemical sunscreen. I find the most effective for me is using a combination of both these days; It's a very personal thing.

There's a fantastic article from the Skin Cancer Foundation discussing what you should look for when choosing a sunscreen that might be of help to you.

The fun part is always testing out new products!
For summer, Tarte's Amazonian Clay blushes are long wearing and I like to pair them with Benetint on the apple of my cheek in a complimentary, yet slightly different color. The combo holds up beautifully in these warmer months and even water/rain/the beach.

I just received a sample of the cream "Dew The Hoola" and it's pretty nice, especially if you run on the dry side. Tarte Lights! Camera! line of mascaras is always a favorite..especially their Splashes! Waterproof formula. They always have those little samples of Bite Beauty lipsticks and I believe there's a tiny Roller Lash now available; that's my favorite part of Sephora is picking up those travel size and test size favs.

Have fun shopping!

Janelle, did you end up going? Sometimes I like to hit up the web page for what's new or on sale before I enter the store.
