The time of year many makeup addicts love has come and gone. I prefer shopping at Ulta now, but of course I couldn't let 20% off go to waste. I got a lot of great stuff, but I didn't go anywhere near as crazy as I have in past years.
The first thing I knew I had to get was the Huda Beauty Textured Shadow Palette Rose Gold Edition. I noticed this palette has a lot of mixed reviews, but that wasn't enough to keep me from trying it. So far, I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. I've only used it twice, though. She also released some new lip kits with a full sized lip liner and two mini liquid lipsticks. I got the one with Trophy Wife and Muse.
I've seen more and more people mention Besame. I was mainly interested in their setting powders, so I got their Brightening Face Powder Trio Set. This set comes with mini versions of their vanilla, vanilla rose, and violet powders. I have only used the vanilla one so far, but I can already see myelf getting the full size of it.
One brand I am starting to hear more and more buzz about on social media is Kopari. Like many others, I take full advantage of coconut oil's many uses. I love using it on my hair and it seems to help my eczema. I purchased a few things from this brand, including two of the coconut melts. the coconut oil, and the coconut scrub. I used the coconut melt this morning on my eyes and hands. So far so good. It felt very soothing on my dry skin and it kept my concealer from creasing.
Another brand that has been receiving a ton of attention is Sol de Janeiro, specifically their Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and shower gel. They have a set with both products for $55. Considering both items are full size, that was quite a deal with the 20% off.
I've mentioned the Neogen Bio Peel Gauze quite a few times inn the past. This stuff is amazing, so I got another back up jar. I kind of wish I would have bought two, even though I just opened another one.
I don't know what rock I have been living under, but I have never looked at the travel section on the Sephora site. I have wanted to try the new Boscia White Charcoal Makeup Setting Spray. I was happy to see that they
Bite Beauty released a limited edition shade of the Amuse Bouche lipstick in a shade called Mauvember. Not only is it a stunning color, it helps bring awareness to men's health. This shade is only available during November, so don't hesitate if it is something you really want. It is currently out of stock, so be sure to keep an eye out for it.
Buxom released three of their Full On Lip Cream's in limited edition packaging for the holidays. White Russian has been a favorite of mine for a long time and I couldn't resist the special packaging.
The last thing I got is the Wander Beauty New York Minute set. I chose this because I wanted to try the brand out and this set allows you to try a few things.
I have started trying out a few things. I'll have a review of the Huda Beauty Lip Contour Kit up soon. I am foregoing eyeshadow and mascara for a few days, so trying out eyeshadow is delayed for a little bit.
What did you get during the sale?
