I got 2 Briogeo Merry Multi-Masking Kit ft. Don’t Despair Repair Deep Conditioning Honey Bear Hair Mask kits - one for me and one for my mom during the friends and family sale. I previously got a deluxe sample of innisfree Super Volcanic Clusters Pore Clearing Clay Mask with a different order that I have to try. If it goes well I may be treating myself to innisfree Volcanic Holiday Set 😊

I just asked for the beautyblender Rocket To Flawless Blend & Cleanse Sponge Set as a gift, maaayyyybbbee drops some hints to someone.  I sent them a link 😂

@danielledanielle You’re so smart 😘 I normally showed things to my hubby saying “This is nice” and I would get a Sephora GC 😂🤣

@TeamBIC I don't have anything in particular in mind for myself.  I'm sure a trip to the store would change that, though - I haven't been in all year!  I think I would like to pick up Olaplex Holiday Hair Fix Kit for gifting to a friend, though.  I might also want to pick up another friend just a little something for Thanksgiving.  If anyone has cute ideas for about $10 or so, tag me!

@greeneyedgirl107 I don’t have much on my list either but looking at this Olaplex set, I am thinking to finally try it. I only use No.3 somewhat regularly. Shampoo and conditioner I’m just not sure how many uses I can get out of these bottles as I have very long and thick hair. I think this set is a good value to test it all out.

@fatimamummy It's weird that there aren't that many things that are interesting me right now.  It's making it harder to maintain my spend status.  Plus, I just got a tooth pulled and thought it would be fun to get a gift from the Tooth Fairy.  But I really can't think of anything I'm especially interested in.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Gel Mask Hydrating & Quenching 1.0 oz/ 30 mL 

@greeneyedgirl107 This one is on sale.  I bought this as an add-on product and it's pretty darn good for the price

[greeneyedgirl107]

@blackkitty2014 Thanks - I'll keep that in mind.  I recently bought my friend The Ordinary "Buffet" 1 oz/ 30 mL and am hoping she takes to it, as she isn't into skincare.  If she gets on the skincare train, she might want to move onto eyes!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@GeorginaBT @Kim888 @Samtian All great ideas!  Many thanks 🙂

[GeorginaBT]

This Olaplex set is in my basket too @greeneyedgirl107! Such a good deal as I use No. 3 and No. 6 regularly already. 

Love @Samtian's idea of masks for a little gift! Maybe SEPHORA COLLECTION The Vitamins Masks Kit or SEPHORA COLLECTION Skincare Surprise Set?

[Kim888]

@greeneyedgirl107 - maybe CLINIQUE Almost Lipstick Duo ! I feel like the black honey is almost universally liked - I’ve only ever seen a handful of people not like it! 

[Samtian]

@greeneyedgirl107 Is your friend into masking? You could pick up a couple of masks for them.

@TeamBIC The only thing I want at the moment that is on my wishlist is the PMG lip balm that hasn't released yet.

[Kim888]

With all the staying home, I have quite a few family members who have decided to grow beards so I will be picking up some Jack Black Beard Oil 1 oz/30 mL and Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 Original as gifts! I also think the SEPHORA COLLECTION Holiday Kisses #Lipstories Lipstick Ornament will make a great stocking stuffer! 

For myself, I really need a new hairbrush and I was going to get one during the F&F but reviews were mixed on the one I wanted. I keep seeing everyone recommend the Drybar Super Lemon Drop so I may get that! I also am almost out of my mini resurfacing masks so I'll either pick up the Drunk Elephant Softy The Baby Kit  or Herbivore Prism 20% AHA + 5% BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial 

[GeorginaBT]

Ugh yes Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 Original is the best @Kim888. Anyone could benefit from it!

I'm intrigued by the Drybar brush! I've been using the same old hairbrush for ages, maybe it's time for a refresh... 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 Yes the Drybar brush is so good.  Everyone in my family has one even my son.
