@HeatherAriana, I have the honeysuckle lip oil - it's such a beautiful shade. I've tried the lipstick but not in the honeysuckle shade. I know they are different formulations, but if you end up getting both, would love to know if you have a preference of the two.

Tons of gift items! Mostly fragrance, skin care and lip products 

[CynthieLu]

That's a smart idea @PinkPearlsMUA the best time to grab some gifts is during this event 🎁😉

@PinkPearlsMUA, this event is a great time to pick up gifts! 🎁 And, don't forget to pick up a gift for yourself, too!

I want the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Glaze Lip Oil Cookie  and the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Glaze Lip Oil in Cinnamon Bun in the gift set (it’s not coming up here). I want KAYALI THE WEDDING VELVET SANTAL | 35 Eau de Parfum Mini Replica 0.33 oz / 10 ml eau de parfum spray  because everyone was raving about it and they say it is quite strong (I like my perfume to be super strong like men’s’ cologne). I only buy mini fragrances these days as I find that I end up not using the larger ones fast enough. I also like to have many to choose from. Thinking about getting Carolina Herrera Mini Good Girl Blush & Good Girl Blush Elixir Duo Set. Otherwise, I need to go on a no buy period right now 😂

Going with mini fragrances is a smart idea @veteranlover, and that Carolina Herrera Good Girl set is a beautiful choice. Those heels will look good on your makeup table when you finish the perfumes!

[CynthieLu]

Getting perfume mini's is a great idea! @veteranlover I think I might borrow this idea from you. 💕 Having a bunch of fun mini's to wear, sounds fun! And we do like having  options. 😉

I also would like to get PAT McGRATH LABS Sublime Perfection Setting Powder Medium Deep 4 .

 I'm a bit embarrassed it's like 80 precent lip products but I can't help it!

[itsfi]

The 80/20 rule is great for so many things @Polkaa! 😉 I love lip products as well so you could add more to your list, if you ask me! You have some gorgeous ones picked out for the sale 😍 - I'm debating over that YSL lip stain. 

[Polkaa]

I had the old ones and I adored them! So I want to try this new one and hope it's as good!!

[CynthieLu]

Don't be embarrassed, it's the sale 😉 and a great time to treat yourself. The sequin lip from Dior looks so tempting! @Polkaa 

[faeriegirl]

Nice lippies @Polkaa !

[CorgiMommy]

No judgment,  get what you love @Polkaa

Products to nourish and moisturize skin in coming winter season 

[CynthieLu]

Investing in your skin care for the upcoming cooler months is a great idea. @weteyez Is there anything specifically you have your eye on? 

[weteyez]

My all time favourite L'Occitane products. 💛

[itsfi]

Excellent choice @weteyez! Are there any L'Occitane products you consider must haves?

[CorgiMommy]

This is a great time to stock up @weteyez 

[NaturalNiche]
