Beauty can be dangerous to your health. My heart pounded when I saw that Sephora Philippines had followed me on Instagram. My breath caught in my chest when they sent me a DM to ask for my details so that they could send me something. I had a mini heart attack when the PR box arrived, and I opened it to find 30 (THIRTY!) lipsticks inside.
Sorry if I can't appear blase and collected about this. Beauty addict that I am, I don't think I'll ever get over the rush of receiving beauty gifts, especially if they're from brands that I have been patronizing for so long!

The heart-attack-inducing coffer contained 30 shades of Sephora Collection's #Lipstories, a line of matte, cream, and metal lipsticks "for celebrating the wild adventures, best moments, and magical memories in your life." They come in hard cardboard packaging with the top and bottom parts of the tube indicating the shade inside.
Some people may not like that the tube is not made of plastic, but I personally love the packaging. It's the first time I'm seeing lipstick with an illustration on it, and I don't have to memorize what shade is inside each tube, no matter which way I decide to store these in my lipstick library.

Every color has a different picture on it of things that bring joy: food, travel, nature, animals. Here they are, grouped according to their #Lipstories (descriptions from sephora.com):

Brunch Days: These lipsticks were made for brunch days, a.k.a. the best days, a.k.a. the days that start with S.

Wifed Up: These wedding-party-approved shades are all about L-O-V-E. You + Sephora Collection = <3 4-EVA.

Spring Break State of Mind: When you're ready to Get. Out. Of. Here, these shades will transport you back to being poolside in Puerto Vallarta.

Lady Business: These lipsticks were made for gals going big places, like interviews for that promotion to Head Babe in Charge.

Holidaze: From hometown hangs to winter getaways, these shades were made for the coziest time of the year. These include 10 Yum Yum, 11 Fireside, 44 Woof...and alas, I seem to have deleted my shot of this, and cannot take another one because I have given those lipsticks away!

Pool O'clock: From poolside hangs to permanent brunch, these bright shades will see you through every summertime situation.

Global Citizen: Buy the ticket, hit the road, etc. These shades were made for travel selfies that'll give your friends FOMO.

Hashtag Throwback: Dive into that nostalgic feeling with shades that'll inspire your future #TBT pics.

Top Down Life: Music's on, top's down - these shades were made for road trippin' with your ride-or-die chicks.

Festival Vibes: Whether you're in the band or waiting in the GA line, these shades scream "FESTIVAL-READY."
