I normally don't spend this much on beauty products, but I figure this should last me until the next sale which is normally in April.
I wrote about my love for Fresh's Sugar lip treatment in my last post. I knew I was going to get at least one during this sale and wanted to try the brown sugar body polish, so I figured I would just get the set that also included the face polish. I've used their face wash before, so I'm hoping their gentle exfoliant will be fine with my skin. All three products have rave reviews online, so I'm excited to put them to the test.
I love Nest Fragrances. I have one of their candles and I am obsessed with it every time I light it to burn. I bought the roller ball of Midnight Fleur back in April and am almost halfway done with it. I decided to try a few of the others before buying a full bottle. These are adorable little bottles. They're about an inch high and seem like they have enough fragrance to see if you like how they smell and wear on you. I haven't pulled these out of the bag yet, but am excited to add them to my fragrance collection.
I have this in their iconic red, but this looks like it will be a great neutral. Fleur from Fleur DeForce raved about it so I figured why not since it was only $8. Plus, when have you ever used up a lipstick? I have more than I know what to do with, yet keep buying more. I like the formula of the icon, so I know it will apply and stay all day.
Ok, I don't really need another perfume... but this one smells fantastic. I love all the honey smelling Lush products, but the smell doesn't last as long as I wish. I think this will be a great daytime fragrance that isn't as heavy or floral as some of my other scents.
I had a sample of this face cleanser and it was great and gentle. Some of the facewashes I currently have in my shower right now (such as my Murad) are too drying for the winter, so I need something gentle that won't suck all the moisture out. This seemed like a great deal and gives me a chance to try the Advanced Therapy lip treatment.
These Sephora Favorites kits are the best to try new products and make sure they work for you. I've used products from First Aid Beauty and Origins before and know they work well for my skin and have heard great things about Boscia and Dr. Dennis Gross, so for $16, I figure I should try it out. They didn't have this at my local Sephoras (that I could find), so this was ordered online. Hopefully the sizes are good!
I had two samples of this, but somehow lost one in the move. I love this stuff. It smells great, doesn't weigh my hair down, and provides some great benefits. My mom also purchased a full size of this during the sale. My mom and I have totally different hair types- I have thick, curly hair and she has thin, straight hair-- so I think this is the only product that works for both of us. My sample has lasted me a long time, so I have no doubt that this will as well.
This is a repurchase-- I use it with my Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation and it makes it apply perfectly. It just makes it look a lot more natural than using a foundation brush. I like the pro because it is black and doesn't show the foundation as much. I use the Beautyblender Solid to clean it and it has lasted my sister and I awhile, so I picked one up right before the sale (it's currently sold out online, so I'm glad I grabbed it before and it wouldn't have been that much of a savings).
Another repurchase for me, but this time I decided to get the limited edition bottle designed by L'Wren Scott because it looks cool and I work in fashion. I use it after cleansing and it smells great. It seems to give my skin a little extra boost and makes me smile. I just spray a spritz or two before putting on moisturizer and my skin seems to like it.
Now, onto what is currently in my cart and I am debating purchasing:
I have bought minis of the black mask and have had samples of the other two. I absolutely love the hydrating mask and this seems like a good deal since you get that and then $40 worth of the other two masks. They last a long time and I'm sure the hydrating mask will be great for winter-- but do I really need it?
DO I NEED A $50 NAIL POLISH??? Probably not. But I've spent $30 on a bottle before and have more than 6 bottles from Chanel. This bottle is amazing and the color looks perfect. I don't have an amazing red and think I need to bite the bullet and buy this while there is a slight discount on it. I don't see Mr. Louboutin putting this on sale after introducing all new colors and having positive feedback on his venture into beauty.
I have been debating this for awhile, but bought the tulip color over the summer. This seems like a great "your lips but better" color and has the same amazing properties as the original. This is the thing I think I will end up buying.
What did you pick up from the Sephora 20% off promotion? Is there anything I missed?
