So far, I've just stocked up on a few favorites, but want to try some new things too. I picked up more Armani Luminous Silk foundation, Hourglass Veil primer, Bumble & Bumble Surf Infusion, Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask (this is new to me, but I had a sample and loved it). What are your favorite new things you've tried lately? Oh, and I bought it before the sale but I'm loving the new Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Heat Styling Spray. I'd used Kenra's for a long time and was happy with it but tried this on a whim and it's *perfect* for my hair.

I need a new perfume...not to hijack, but you have a good list here, so I know you know your stuff! What's a good, new perfume? I'm going to look at the products you bought as well. I need a makeup primer.

I mostly bought items for my daughter for her homemade advent calendar. I did buy for myself the olaplex holiday set Olaplex I've never tried that brand so I'm looking forward to trying that. pealikecrazy Sephora has a set of samplers and then you can choose to redeem the coupon for a full size Sephora perfume sampler |

My fav mascara is Hourglass Caution. My lashes start to curl up immediately upon leaving my lid. So it's really hard to get a mascara and a wand that applies the product and the product doesn't rub off in my eyelid all day.
And I got a sample of the Sunday Riley ICE Moisturizer, and the REN Overnight Evercalm Balm. I alternate using those at night when the weather changes to colder/drier in the fall and through the winter.

I just received my order yesterday. Mostly basics, Kiehl's shampoo and cleansers for DH, some Keratasse shampoo & conditioner for myself, and Kiehl's cleanser. After seeing them mentioned on a previous thread, I ordered some of the Shiseido Facial Cotton. Tried them last night and love them. So much softer than what I've been buying. Need to place another order as I forgot I am low on foundation and primer (Armani for both).
For those who shop through airline miles portals, United is 2 miles/$1 spent.

I'm in the process of shopping, so I will be following this thread.
My friend told me about their Wanderlust Travel Set (3 TSA compliant bottles and a clear travel bag) which is on sale. She says she never worries about the bottles leaking and they are made of silicon, so she says they are a breeze to clean. I was going to order several sets for Christmas gifts, but they are on back order, so I'm pretty bummed about that.
I'm going to purchase two Living Proof bonus sets-the Go Beyond - Clean Perfect Hair Day® Dry Shampoo Duo (regular size plus a travel size for the price of the regular size) and the Go Beyond - Volume Full Dry Volume Blast™ Duo (regular size plus travel size for the price of the regular size).
@**GypsyGirl** thanks for reminding me to use the United shopping portal! I might as well rack up extra miles while I'm doing my online shopping during the Christmas Season!

Her advent calendars aren't cheap. She likes make up and wants to maybe go to school for theater make up. But I search the word "mini" on Sephora and look for cute mini things that way. Masks, mirrors and scrunchies always work for her. I did buy her the perfume sampler and will split that up so I'll get a few days out of that. Perfume SamplerThere's another sampler that has a variety of things Variety Sampler
I used some of my reward points to buy a 500 pt Bare Mineral piece with lipstick, mascara and such. So I will split that up and that will get me 5 days. Too Faced has some cute holiday items but I'm trying to resist. I bought her a cute mascara ornament because she loves mascara. HTH |

This is the least I’ve purchased but I already have so much. I bought the Fenty Baby bomb 2 because I wanted the new shade of gloss- I really like it. I use the highlight as eye shadow and love it for that. But I would never use it for a highlight for myself. I also bought 2 Farmacy products- the cleansing balm make up remover and the honey potion mask. I really, really like both things. We will see if I can be done now.  |

I bought the Caudalie set with the full-sized serum -- it's the same price as the serum but has a clarifier and night cream with it.
Living proof hair stuff for DD
Kiehl's face cream with sunscreen for DD
My Blinc mascara
My Murad vitamin C sunscreen
Some Tarte foundation
I really wish Caudalie would make a sunscreen -- I love the scent of their stuff. The vitamin C Murad is the closest I can find.

Shoot, I bought a bunch of stuff online this week and forgot about Rakuten.
From Sephora I ordered two Charlotte Tilbury lipglosses, Shiseido synchroskin self-refreshing foundation, and Verb Ghost Oil spray.
I've been hearing people rave about the Koh Gen Do foundation so I ordered a sample from their website. I also ordered Oribe mystify restyling spray from Nordstrom. My Sephora package came today but I haven't been home yet.

I ordered a couple Christmas gifts for my daughter - the Milk Makeup MVPs set and the Morphe Jeffree Star eye brush collection. Now I just need to prevent her from buying them for herself before Christmas. I had the Pat Magrath Labs eyeshadow quad in my cart too but at $86 (even with 15% off) it seems like a LOT of money. The colours in the Nocturnal Nirvana quad are stunning though.

I didn’t “need” anything but was less than $100 from hitting rouge for next year so I picked up a new Tatcha cream to try (dewy something) and living proof night cap treatment. I stocked up on my regular products during the surprise bonus earlier this fall. Hopefully all of that will last until the spring discount.
But I am over Sephora and their free samples.... why offer me a choice when they never send what I pick 😡 they are just gonna throw random shit in the box so why get my hopes up 🤷🏻♀️ I was really excited to try 2 new deva curl products for my DD and nope didn’t get them. First world problem I know but it happens every.freaking.time!

I need a new perfume...not to hijack, but you have a good list here, so I know you know your stuff! What's a good, new perfume? I find that most perfumes smell too perfumey on me, or like stuff you can just get at the drugstore. I recently discovered the "By Rosie Jane" line and I am loving it for some reason. I bought the "James" perfume oil and really love it. "James" perfume oil I have not found any of the other "clean" fragrances to smell too great on me, or they smell like laundry detergent for some reason.  Other than that, I bought some of the Bumble and Bumble overpriced Surf Spray. It seems to work great on my hair but a bottle only lasts me about a month and it's $27, so I stock up when they have these sales. |

It's similar to the Surf Spray, but has some oil in it (you have to shake it well before using). The Surf Spray - and pretty much every similar product I've tried - was drying on my hair but the Surf Infusion leaves it so soft, but still with great texture. I LOVE it. |

I got already:
- Smashbox 24 Hour Finish shadow primer (I ran out of my NARS primer)
- Anastasia Brow Wiz
- Lancôme setting spray (I don’t think the UD one does enough)
- Tatcha Camellia Oil (just getting more to stock up)
I have a few more things in my cart

I only got two items. Been looking for a new eyeshadow palette. I decided on Tarte In Bloom, the everyday nudes. Also got my favorite dry shampoo, Drybar, the coconut scented one. I probably should have gotten a new mascara. Maybe I’ll go back!

I bought a Bite lipstick, the Bite "primer," and a Sephora palette on sale for $5 (that's gonna be for my sister). I will likely pick up a little mascara trio for her now, too, because I just learned that she really loves mascaras, and I will probably grab her the Urban Decay eye primer she likes.
I want to want more, but there isn't anything I truly truly need. Except maybe more Shiseido cotton.

I bought way too much! I placed 3 large online orders.
These are a few of my purchases off the top of my head:
A few Tom Ford eye shadow quads
La Mer foundation
Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder foundation
Glow recipe avocado eye mask
Fenty bomb baby 2
Armani luminous silk primer
Nars dolce vita mini blush lip duo
Laura Mercier caviar sticks
Laneige gift sets
Briogeo Honey deep conditioning mask
IGK First class dry shampoo
Charlotte Tilbury blush
Charlotte Tilbury spotlight highlighter
I highly recommend the Hourglass ghost edit palette if you have a fair complexion. I bought it before the sale because I was worried it would sell out. It’s my favorite holiday palette they’ve made so far! I love every shade and get so much use out of it. I was surprised that nothing on my wishlist sold out this sale, usually things are out of stock during the sales.
