[BonitaErin]

 well, I'm still working on slimming my cart down.😂😬

[faeriegirl]

Great list @BonitaErin ! I love the ND glam palette!

[CynthieLu]

The struggle is real @BonitaErin 😅 I feel this pain lol

[danielledanielle]

Good luck, @BonitaErin! Do love some of those minis you picked

[Saradestin]

Great choices @BonitaErin ! You are going to have a hard time slimming your cart down! 😅

I am not buying all of this, it's more of a loose idea of what I could pick up. Any thoughts on these products are welcome! 

[faeriegirl]

Excellent list @makeitup305 !  I love the Merit blushes and I’ve tried a mini of the JVN oil and full size of the air dry cream. I really like both so I’m planning on getting that set too.

[makeitup305]

@faeriegirl Good to know! I haven’t tried anything from his line so this seems like a great way to start.

I bought the Sephora Organizer about a month ago and it’s a lot nicer than I expected. It’s pretty and very sturdy. You can use the organization bags in it or your own if you want.  It’s can hold a lot as well. I actually might grab another one or three during the sale.

I just saw your review of it @QueenOfMayhem! Love that they are often on discount, too. (oh and congrats on moving on up - I see you're Fresh Face 1 now! fun 😍)

[makeitup305]

@QueenOfMayhem thank you for the info. The 30% off Sephora collection makes it a must I think!

[danielledanielle]

@makeitup305, I don't have that particular organizer, I have one of the previous hanging ones SEPHORA COLLECTION Hanging Makeup Organizer Bag , and I love it.  It's pretty sturdy and I can squish in my sigma travel brush holder, color switcher, a small pallette, hair pins, wipes, hairbrush and some other things.  The one you have looks much deeper, but if you wanted one that's super travel friendly, I'd go with it.

I like the SDJ gel and did not know it came in a refill (now my cart's growing, ha).  It's got the scent and it lathered on me well, not a must per se, but if you're a SDJ, it's worth it.

@makeitup305 I also have this one. I dont travel much but when I do this is perfect. You can also just use it as a regular makeup bag for your daily items @danielledanielle 

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle The SDJ is a repurchase for me, although it’s also my first time seeing the refill. The Sephora  travel cases have been a staple with me for a long time but I think I need a bigger one. Mine are still in decent shape but I think I have too much makeup for them now 😛

[ChooseDior]

I have the merit blushes they're super pretty and pigmented. You can wear it as a soft wash of color or build it up for a more intense look.
