@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.

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!

Yay - I love sales. Well I did just buy a bunch for F&F but I am trying to decide if the new Sephora Favorites Mini Candle Discovery Set 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 Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint Sheer Oil-Infused Lip Balm or Lancôme L'Absolu Mademoiselle Lip Balm 6 Cosy Cranberry  but I'm not sure!

@Kim888 Ooo I haven't seen the Lancôme lip balm in the teal(?) casing yet. I wonder if it'll be available in Canada as it led me to a "product not carried" page 🤔 That would be the one I'd choose though - a cosy cranberry sounds perfect for fall! 🍁

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

@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!

[snoflakefaerie]

@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!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@snoflakefaerie Yes, I do look forward to Sephora doing more of these candle sets!
