Yay - I love sales. Well I did just buy a bunch for F&F but I am trying to decide if the new will last until the sale or if I should buy it now!

I also am hoping the Drunk Elephant Holiday TLC set will release at sephora my then as I always like to stock up on that!

And I may cave and buy a lippie but I'm not sure which. I'm thinking of either another or but I'm not sure!

I stocked up on everyday things like shampoo and micellar water during the F&F sale, but I'm thinking these items would be nice to have if they're still in stock next month!

I hadn't seen that candle set yet, what a fun idea. That'll probably make its way to my cart as well.

@TeamBIC At the moment I don't need anything because I got what I wanted from the Friends and Family Sale. I am still waiting for more holiday releases to see what I can get my family and friends.

@Guessgal was kind enough to share her f&f code with me (so was @haleyvvvv) so I’m planning on getting most of the haul started soon.
lots of holiday gifts coming my way soon.

@snoflakefaerie I didn't even notice the candle sampler until you brought it up from the previous post. How cute! I bet it won't last long, though. The packaging is fun, too!

I was actually going to pick up several Sephora Collection items during the F&F sale but since it's going to be 30% off during the Fall Sale I think I'm going to wait...

Re: Holiday Savings Event 2021 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

greeneyedgirl107 — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 23:09:39 GMT

@CookieGirl1 Do you know when the 30% off SC sale starts? I have my eye on a couple eye palettes, and would like to mark my calendar. Is it bad when you calendar is filled with beauty sales instead of social events?

Re: Holiday Savings Event 2021 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

CookieGirl1 — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 23:24:20 GMT

@greeneyedgirl107 Social events? What are those? 😅 It looks like they'll be on sale starting 11/5 through the duration of the Holiday Sale Event.

I always look forward to this sale. Thanks for updating all of us.

dannygirl1016 — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 00:46:27 GMT

Is the October sale 30% off

So excited!! Am I able to use the Holiday Discount and my $10 points rewards?

snoflakefaerie — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 01:33:31 GMT

@greeneyedgirl107 yeah I think you're right about it not lasting until the sale. Totally would have grabbed it with a F&F code, but I've been so out of the game, I didn't realize it was that time and haven't been active enough to feel ok asking for one. I really hope it does well and Sephora does more of them though because I'd love to try out more candles this way!

So far, only a few potential buys are on my holiday sale list.

New-to-me things:

- I already like the gel (which is funny because I generally hate hair gels) but I’ve been curious about the cream.
- if I find a good shade match. I read a very helpful Sephora review (from someone who received product for free, even) about how unrealistic the brand’s model photos are for each shade, particularly for medium-deep and darker skin tones. So I’ll have to see the shade range in person before buying.
- shade Brave or Genuine.

Restocks:

Can't tag either of these products for some reason, so I'll direct-link them.

If Sephora gets these in stock during the sale:

Pat McGrath Celestial Odyssey Luxe Quad, Deep Space Divinity
Otherland Homestead candle collection, Tomato Terrazzo and/or Sriracha Rose, and possibly Velvet Persimmon (not so sure about the 2 wood scented candles, based on their fragrance descriptions).
and/or - I already own the full size version of both.

"What, no lipsticks?!" 😂 Yeah, I've overdone lipstick purchases this year. I mean, I overdo it every year, but this year I gotta put the brakes on myself. Doesn't mean I'm not tempted by any, though!

Ispend2much6 — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 05:21:39 GMT

I just made a large order of mostly "useful" products, so maybe I'll have a little fun this sale.

In Vanilla Bean to kind of match the that should arrive tomorrow.

#ysl touche eclat all over brightening pen

#ysl rouge pur couture beige antonym

#ysl rouge pur couture slim matte bare burgundy

maligNANCY — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 16:52:20 GMT

I’m patiently waiting to stock up on -the 2-pack!! My skin LOVES this!

I’m dying to try I wish Sephora would carry her other ColorFix Nude pigments because they are great!

Is this more like The Ordinary acid toner or Biologique Recherche?

I am ready to try some Supergoop after hearing a great many things!

Can’t forget because they are THE best!

I wanted to nab but my Frederic Malle and Le Labo purchases have tied me up for the year as far as fragrances go

Let’s normalize pampering yourself!

Yes, love those Shiseido cottons, @maligNANCY! It's a great time to stock up on those.
