Desirable December Hauls 2022

[SportyGirly125]

Time to finish up the holiday shopping and maybe help others with ideas on what to get their friends and family members.

Sephora is having their last sale this month on Friday December 2 to Sunday December 11, 2022.  You can save 20% your purchase with the code GETGIFTING and 30% off Sephora Collection.  It is a one time use code at Sephora. Sephora Kohl's has their own unique code which you can find in your Kohl's wallet in your account or in your Sephora email.

I cannot wait to see what you hauled this month.

For once I'm posting my monthly haul before the month is officially over, lol.

*Ignore the dirty puff; I was too lazy to wash it for my pics!

@CookieGirl1  You have a great haul 😀. The Powder is disappointing especially when you have high expectations.  I hope the Hourglass turns out to be better for you.

Great haul @CookieGirl1 ! Hourglass is so pretty ! Bummer the powder didn’t work out. Those shades can be so tricky. 😕

Oh you picked out so many fun items @CookieGirl1! 😍 I am loving your skincare selections! 

[lmaster]

@CookieGirl1 ohhh I see a fabulous assortment 

[faeriegirl]

Awesome haul @CookieGirl1 ! How are you liking the Givenchy powder? I would also love to hear your thoughts on the Skinfix serum.

[CookieGirl1]

@faeriegirl I've only been using the Skinfix about a week but I like the texture--it's an extremely lightweight creamy type of serum.  As far as the powder goes...I'm not a fan.  I honestly thought I'd love it but wow, I can't believe how even the tiniest amount of it makes me look REALLY dry, even if I use a more hydrating finishing spray.  Slightly disappointing but that's how it goes sometimes.  At least I finally satisfied my curiosity about it!

[faeriegirl]

I’m sorry the powder didn’t work out @CookieGirl1!

[CookieGirl1]

@faeriegirl oh well.  If I HADN'T tried it I would have always wondered so it's OK.

@CookieGirl1 ,

Great December Haul!  I'm interested in hearing how much you like the Givenchy Prisme Libre Finishing powder.  I'm still waiting to try this again.  The 01 pastel shade wasn't quite right for me and scared me off.

[CookieGirl1]

@tsavorite unfortunately it hasn't worked out for me which is too bad because I really thought that I'd like it.  It's so odd because it's very finely milled so it should be blurring/smoothing but it just ends up making me look really dry.  My go-to is the Hourglass Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder - Talc Free Translucent and I've already gone back to using it.

@CookieGirl1 ,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Ohhh, that Givenchy powder and Hourglass palette 😍 Great haul @CookieGirl1! 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi Thank you!  There were definitely a few BIC members who were very persuasive in my purchase of the Givenchy powder.

@CookieGirl1, the Givenchy powder is a popular one. I do sometimes wish they made mini versions because how cute would that be!! Also, I could try more of the shades. 😉 I have two full sizes and just one has so much product.

Lovely Choices, @CookieGirl1! I love the Hourglass palette.

[CookieGirl1]

@curlychiquita thank you!  I debated on whether or not to purchase it but I don't own any of the other Hourglass face palettes so when it went on sale it seemed like a sign 😉.

@CookieGirl1  That sunscreen looks very interesting! Centella asiatica always gets my attention. I see it also contains a tinosorb, so I'll have to keep it off my undereye lines (tinosorbs are fantastic broad spectrum UV filters, but they tend to leave a very white cast when sunscreen pools in my lines). But that's fine by me. Adding this to my Try It list for 2023. 

[CookieGirl1]

@WinglessOne I hadn't ever heard of it before but it was actually sent to me from Influenster.  I didn't have any expectations but I've actually been liking it; it's very thin and lightweight, leaves no cast, and has no scent.  I don't like it as much as my Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ but it's a completely different type of sunscreen so I can't really compare them.

@CookieGirl1  Those polishes are so cute- reminds me of sherbet. 🙂
