I can't even show my whole basket because I'm in the Christmas gift exchange and it would give it away.

I did stock up on hair products and a lip scrub.  My basket is way less interesting than the other people I am shopping for.

Oribe Signature Moisture Hair Mask 5.9 oz/ 175 mL 

Oribe Shampoo for Moisture & Control 8.5 oz/ 250 mL 

Oribe Intense Conditioner for Moisture & Control 6.8 oz/ 200 mL 

fresh Sugar Lip Polish Exfoliator

This is such a great time to pick up any holiday kits that I really want and don't want to risk having them sell out.  I used points towards the Bite lipstick; this shade was out of stock for weeks, so now was the time to get it.

I think Im gonna take out the Natasha Denona Mini Metropolis Palette & Brush Set from my cart because I couldn't not buy it when I swatched it in store. Its 3 for the price of 1 plus $3. I am in love with these nude shades, especially Hot Chocolit. Im gonna use them for brown tone blush or a bronzer topper 😍 FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Diamond Bomb Triple Drip All Over Diamond Veil Palette

ND palette looks so cool! It’s sold out online so I may have to check store

[Buootiful]

Oh my, I am still debating if I want it. I really want it for the brush and good value of a set. I keep taking it in and out @fatimamummy 

[ather]

@Buootiful  Omg. Beautiful!! I agree how could you not buy it!!

[Buootiful]

Right? So glad I purchased this. I have so many highlighters but this is something special🥰 @ather 

[Ispend2much6]

@Buootiful  The Fenty palette looks really good with your skin tone!  How fun to have two new palettes.

[Buootiful]

Aww thanks @Ispend2much6 ! I couldnt stop staring at my arm!😍.

I like to think of this sale as a marathon, not a sprint lol. Here's what I have in my basket so far...

[tsavorite]

@Mcakes ,

I like the way that you think!  😊

[niki172]

@Mcakes 100% agree with you on it being a marathon. Who knows what Sephora may drop in the upcoming days - sometimes that patience pays off 💄.

[Mcakes]

@niki172 Exactly! So many things drop during the sale it's hard to keep up lol

[ather]

@Mcakes  I agree. I like to buy things I think would go oos. Than I like to shop for others!

[Mcakes]

@ather yes! Always a good strategy lol. I am so glad that the candle set was in stock at my store since it went OOS online!

[ather]

@Mcakes @I feel like things went oos so fast this time. 

[Ispend2much6]

@Mcakes  Excellent philosophy!

[Mcakes]

@Ispend2much6 we should get an extra discount if we buy something every day of the sale 😂

[Ispend2much6]

@Mcakes. Sounds good to me!  I ws counting on using my points too so that would also be okay.
