Magnificent skincare haul @Vonneh! 😍 You picked up some great products to give your skin some TLC as we round the corner into winter! Your restock haul are all beauties that my skin looooves!

[Mellmars1185]

Today I ordered some skincare. Recently I have been going to a medspa and purchased a spf from there. I can't justify spending the money on the products there so I talked to them about a skincare routine and bought the following items today with the 20% discount!

The INKEY List Fulvic Acid Brightening Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL 

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator 2.6 oz/ 74g 

The INKEY List Apple Cider Vinegar Acid Peel 1 oz/ 30 mL 

I also purchased Farmacy Holiday Party Green Clean Trio  because it was too cute to pass on and I am running low on my current apple 🍎 scented full size one. I like using it in the winter because i feel like it doesn't strip my skin.

My final purchase today was Buxom Power Line™ Plumping Lip Liner Hush Hush Henna . I was debating between this and Buxom Power Line™ Plumping Lip Liner Hi-Def Honey but i wqs sold out.

Happy shopping everyone!

[Mellmars1185]

@Finendandelion Thanks! I have some acne scarring on my neck and i have been using the Dermalogica Mini Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator 0.45 oz/ 13 g . I love it so much i got the full size 😍

[Finendandelion]

@Mellmars1185 That's awesome that it's been helping with scarring!

[Mellmars1185]

@Finendandelion Thank you. I think it a combination of that, vitamin c and spf ☺️

I ordered the SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in matte black with the 30% off promotion.  I saw it in a Sephora tutorial on YouTube and decided to give it a try.

[Saradestin]

Sephora Collection has great eyeliners @Mel231 ! I am getting SEPHORA COLLECTION 12 Hour Contour Pencil Eyeliner 01 Black Lace 

[MKC78]

This isn’t working for me. 20% works but none of my Sephora Collection items are being discounted at checkout. 😞

[Saradestin]

@MKC78  Oh no! 😓 That’s weird! I have had mine discounted once I added the discount code 

[Mindofa20s]

I’m having the same issue. 

[leiiyah05]

Trying to buy a foundation spray for my body. But can’t find a matching shade. Gona use that 20% to help find a perfect one 

[chewieleroi]

Just bought a cream last week and now its 20% off . should I buy another one with the rebate and bring back the unuse one ? #Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum
