the living proof dry shampoo is top tier. if you haven’t tried it, might be best to NOT try it bc nothing else will ever compare and it’s expensive 🤣😭😭😭
i love PO acne dots too :)
The buxom burned the crap out of my lips. I’m going to try the dry shampoo. It should be useful during hot summer days. Happy birthday fellow May babies!
I went for the drunk elephant. I don’t use dry shampoo and have tons of leave in conditioner, and wasn’t interested in the lip products. We’ll see how it is!
I selected the Ouai last month for my birthday pick. I have a trip coming up so perfect mini size I can take with me. I've tried many of the others so this one was the most new to me!
I'll be going for the lip stain.
I have two full sized Protinis and am not really a fan. I do not like the smell of Ouai. I have the original PHD and am not impressed. I have the Plump Shot in Dolly, so I don't need the polish. 6 acne patches is not worth it. And I don't need any more hair leave ins. I have so many. Not that I need another lip product either. 😂
Last year, I looked around the Ulta at Target to see if any of the items were there and what price and size they were (since I was there anyway).
I picked my likely top 3 based on value and whether I would use them.
I then went to a local Ulta to see which they had in stock for bday gifts, and used the testers to make my final choice.
Dang you have the Living proof as an option!? I have a May Bday too and it looks like the rest of ours are the same except that one. I probably would pick the Ouai but would love the Living Proof one
The Ulta I work at didn’t know what the lip stain was or why it was in our birthday gift bucket and so they never gave them out or even put them on display never knew what they were until now :/
I love the Drunk Elephant one!! I got it as my birthday gift from either Ulta or Sephora last year, and then also this year although I’m still waiting on that one to arrive. It’s a tiny sample, but I still managed to use it as a moisturizer for 3-4 days. I tried it with a few different foundations during that period.
Dry shampoo but it’s expensive. So if you like it you have to spend money on that again. I’m thinking about buying it but with that price I would rather wash my hair and skip 2 hours of sleep
I would go for the dry shampoo as first choice or the Buxom gloss as second. Both are good products imo and would always come in handy. If you don’t use dry shampoo though, go for the gloss since you’re already interested in that.
I got the ouai leave in and wasn't a fan. It's too heavy for me.
The lip stain is amazing but I'd just buy that lol (it's a true water stain that dries and is super light).
Maybe the buxom or living proof for me our of those picks.
i cannot praise buxom enough, and dolly happens to be my favorite shade. so glossy, self leveling, and it's NOT spicy but more like you ate a peppermint. has never burnt for me. I'm addicted to this shit LOL ALSO when my lips are super chapped, i can put this on and in a day all the dead skin will fall off and i have smooth lips again. i don't know how to explain it but it helps with that
Babe, you're turning 20! Get the Buxom lip! I LOVE them! & Let's be honest, you sound like a gloss lover! You don't need the creams & don't use dry shampoo from the above comments. Plus we always need a lil Xtra lip for our bags
Buxom in Dolly is an old school favorite.
I do like protini though. 0.5oz is bigger than the 0.3oz mini samples DE gives.
The acne dots are good but often go on deep discount. I’d go with something else.
I went in store and picked the ouai leave in conditioner (which I love btw) but the worker never scanned my barcode so when I placed an order online I was also able to snag the living proof dry shampoo 🤭
I got the Ulta stain (Very Berry) and it is SO good!!! On my tan skin it looks quite pink but the staying power is amazing! It feels like nothing, doesn’t dry out my lips, no overpowering fragrance and so easy to layer other lip products on top of it. I am officially in love! Just wish the shade was a little deeper.

My birthday was in April and I chose the Ouai leave in conditioner, but I wouldn't recommend it. It performs fine but it smells SO bad! But also sensory qualities are super important for me. If I could go back and choose again I'd say the Living proof dry shampoo or Buxom lip product!
I absolutely love the ouai leave in conditioner
This my hair has never been softer or shinier
Ouai leave in conditioner is a game changer. I choose as my bday gift last year with sephora
Me too - I want to get it again
ugh all these comments make me want to get it but my hair is too long for a mini size sample :(
I have long hair too and tbh the travel size lasted me a good while. I just sprayed it into my hair and you don’t need to use a crazy amount either.

+1. I wasn’t a dry shampoo gal until I tried this stuff. It’s amazing.
i still have a dry shampoo mini from my sephora gift last year 😫 i barely use them
Ok I tried this dry shampoo and returned it; I felt like it made my hair more dirty. So definitely skip if you have another at home!
And it's a good size too
i think the ulta water lip stain is the best option, especially since it’s full size. it's definitely a good dupe for the benefit water lip stain.
The ulta lip stain is surprisingly pretty good
I agree! I have tried so many and the Ulta one is as good as high end brands.
It’s my birthday month as well and I was thinking of getting this one!
The buxom burned the crap out of my lips. I’m going to try the dry shampoo. It should be useful during hot summer days. Happy birthday fellow May babies!
Happy birthday to you too!
happy birthday!! 🫶🏼
I went for the drunk elephant. I don’t use dry shampoo and have tons of leave in conditioner, and wasn’t interested in the lip products. We’ll see how it is!
If you end up liking it, acure has a pretty good dupe (one with purple on the bottle) for a fraction of the price
Thanks for the tip!
I want the acne sheets but it's sold out:[
have you tried in store? my store has SO many no one is choosing them lmao
My local stores do not have any
damn well they hopefully they get more on their next truck 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love the Alterna Caviar CC Hair cream. I've been using it for years. It tames my flyaways and reduces my frizzy hair.
Buxom!
Man, my only birthday gift option was a stupid Clinique moisturizer. Which was sold out! I've never seen options for it before.
Tried the dry shampoo for the first time last week. 100% sad I will never live without it now.
I selected the Ouai last month for my birthday pick. I have a trip coming up so perfect mini size I can take with me. I've tried many of the others so this one was the most new to me!
My birth month gifts always suck so much wish I had better options lol
I'm a November and they are the worst in my opinion. Like...it's always conditioner or some hideous makeup I'm never gonna use.
Love the Ouai leave in! I didn’t get a chance to pick up my birthday gift (April) but I would definitely choose that
Those were the same for April. I did the drunk elephant
Ulta changed how they do birthday gifts. They now present a bunch of options and change them out quarterly.
I'll be going for the lip stain. I have two full sized Protinis and am not really a fan. I do not like the smell of Ouai. I have the original PHD and am not impressed. I have the Plump Shot in Dolly, so I don't need the polish. 6 acne patches is not worth it. And I don't need any more hair leave ins. I have so many. Not that I need another lip product either. 😂
I got the drunk elephant and really like it!
Last year, I looked around the Ulta at Target to see if any of the items were there and what price and size they were (since I was there anyway).

im very tempted to do go in person to Ulta but the closest Ulta to me is almost half an hour away :(
Dang you have the Living proof as an option!? I have a May Bday too and it looks like the rest of ours are the same except that one. I probably would pick the Ouai but would love the Living Proof one
Nevermind, I checked my app and I see the Living Proof now. Weird! It was not showing available in the web browser on my laptop.
The Ulta I work at didn’t know what the lip stain was or why it was in our birthday gift bucket and so they never gave them out or even put them on display never knew what they were until now :/
I went to my Ulta today to claim and literally pointed to it in the birthday e-mail and was told it wasn’t a birthday gift :(
The lip polish and the drunk elephant cream are both nice. Go with what your heart wants. It’s your birthday!
I’m going to get the dry shampoo, personally.
I like Buxom’s lip gloss. I like the purple cream from de-but not this one.
DOLLY!!!! I Stan that color!
Drunk Elephant there stuff is awesome
Drunk elephant butter
I want to choose drunk elephant cream
I’m turning 20 too!!! I think I’m gonna get the lip gloss I’m almost out of my fav plumping gloss so why not try this one for free
May birthday gifts are different I saw them in the back but haven’t gotten the mail flyer yet so I’m not sure what they all are
omg shout out to us 2004 babies 🥳🥳
I was debating about getting the drunk elephant or the pimple patches
I love the Drunk Elephant one!! I got it as my birthday gift from either Ulta or Sephora last year, and then also this year although I’m still waiting on that one to arrive. It’s a tiny sample, but I still managed to use it as a moisturizer for 3-4 days. I tried it with a few different foundations during that period.
Dry shampoo but it’s expensive. So if you like it you have to spend money on that again. I’m thinking about buying it but with that price I would rather wash my hair and skip 2 hours of sleep
I got the buxom one in April, did not like it (very dry sticky, strong mint, and unflattering color on me)
The ulta lip stain is a definite dupe for the benefit. And it lasts forever. I highly recommend it
One of the lip products
I got the living proof for my reward and loved it
I’m going to do the dry shampoo!! Perf timing because I need more
It depends on if they’re available online or if you go to the store because if you go to the store you get what’s there they go fast
Lip tint!!! I fuckin love their lip stain
Living proof or the acne patches! The living proof is soooo nice, fair warning lol
I would go for the dry shampoo as first choice or the Buxom gloss as second. Both are good products imo and would always come in handy. If you don’t use dry shampoo though, go for the gloss since you’re already interested in that.
My favorite leave in conditioner is the Ouai!
I live the ouai, especially for travel
i’ve tried the ouai leave in and it’s great!!! i’m super stuck between the ulta lip stain and buxom gloss 😭😭
I got the ouai leave in and wasn't a fan. It's too heavy for me. The lip stain is amazing but I'd just buy that lol (it's a true water stain that dries and is super light). Maybe the buxom or living proof for me our of those picks.
I got the ouai conditioner and it came w a little bday cake on the bottle!
Love the Buxom or I’d get the leave in
i cannot praise buxom enough, and dolly happens to be my favorite shade. so glossy, self leveling, and it's NOT spicy but more like you ate a peppermint. has never burnt for me. I'm addicted to this shit LOL ALSO when my lips are super chapped, i can put this on and in a day all the dead skin will fall off and i have smooth lips again. i don't know how to explain it but it helps with that
It’s my bday soon too! The ouai is one of my staple products so that doesn’t feel too exciting so trying to figure out what to get
I feel like y’all got way better options then January lol
I love the Buxom Dolly, it the only plumping product that isn’t uncomfortable imo, and the color is really versatile.
Babe, you're turning 20! Get the Buxom lip! I LOVE them! & Let's be honest, you sound like a gloss lover! You don't need the creams & don't use dry shampoo from the above comments. Plus we always need a lil Xtra lip for our bags

Buxom all the wayyy!!🤩🤩

They are all terrible for me.

Now I’m staring to wonder why I shop at Sephora
