It's so true, every year I get amazing savings on everything! This year was no different as I spent $52 and saved $105!
Sephora Holiday Haul
This hair/body glitter was $5 on sale from $10 It smells so good & it's just the right amount of sparkle. Fairy dust, I like to call it! Lol! (permanently discontinued)
This was my biggest steal! I paid $13 for the set. They're $4 each so I basically got 4 free! It was on sale for $30 so I saved $47. I had a black one so I know they last forever. Amazing shades, good to use as primer. The black is so intense, it's great for deep smokey eyes & waterlines. This set is not available anymore you can still buy the pencils individually in store & online :-)
This is my favorite item from this haul because I'd wanted it for so long. I have something similar from Sugar so I didn't want to spend $22 on it. These were on sale for $7 each! I got 2 & saved $30! I'm so happy I did bc they are stunning! I used this already in my last *tutorial* & they're perfect for my coloring!! (permanently discontinued)
This little cutie was $5 on sale from $14. Truth is I saw this in the discount bin last year & tried it on my hand. I noticed it wasn't as intense as I like my pencils to be so I didn't buy it. When I saw it sitting on sale AGAIN, I figured, why not? Lol! I love Hello Kitty but I was not impressed with this product. *I remember being about 8 yrs old & there was a toy store around the corner from my school.
I bought a mini Hello Kitty blue frosty lipstick (that smelled like blueberries) & it was more pigmented than this. Lol!
I have to say I was disappointed in this product. It was $13 & not on sale but I bought it because it had a unique applicator. It's a mascara & eyeliner all in one so I thought $13 was not bad for a 2-in1 item like this. I applied it to my lashes & after a few minutes, when it had dried, I noticed the blue glitter had fallen onto my face, just under my lashes. Also, when I close it, all of the product comes up & it's made a mess around the top. I'm willing to try this again as a top coat to see if it holds but if not, I'll stop there. lol! I hope it works because I had such high hopes for it :-/
This Sephora glitter liner is much different. It's not as glittery as the one above but it's sparkly enough. It's thicker and lasts longer. The swatches I made clearly show the difference in texture. (I used this in my last *tutorial*)
Sephora is known for throwing in 3 samples for every online order. I picked these 3 very carefully.
I love perfume & so the Tom Ford was a no brainer. At first it smelled like baby oil, which I didn't like but then after it wore on me for a while it settled into a soft, feminine scent. I know it has patchouli but it was sweet as well but has a teeny kick to it. It reminds me of Flowers by Kenzo (I love that perfume) They're also similar in the way that they are strong & you will smell this on you all day.
The moisturizer I haven't tried yet but will be using it when I travel.
The Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer SPF 15 came w/samples of all 4 shades! That was very generous of them because that's usual for brands to do that. Especially considering a tube of this will set you back $70. O.O I used the 204 Light-Medium in my last t*tutorial*& loved it! It smells better than any tint. moisturizer I've ever used. That's new for me because I don't usually like scented face products. It's lightweight & looks flawless! My skin drank this up but felt protected. This has NO oils or parabens so any skin type can use it :-)
I spent a total of $52 and saved $105!! There was NO shipping because orders over $50 are free to ship & I used a 20%OFF entire purchase coupon. I got a total of 11 items (including all 5 Jumbo crayon liners) so everything averaged out to be $4.73 each O.O (This does not include the samples) So this was definitely one of my best hauls in terms of savings! Sales are out there you just have to know how to take advantage of them!
Keep it Prettie! *Stephanie*
