I received a 20% off coupon randomly earlier this year @Buootiful. I stocked up on skincare mainly. No regrets!

Amazing hauls @Buootiful ! Everything looks gorgeous! 😍😍

[Buootiful]

Thanks so much ! @Saradestin 

[Titian06]

Awesome hauls, @Buootiful !  Thanks for swatching the two HG palettes you got.  I definitely got the right one (butterfly). 🦋

[Buootiful]

Aww great and thanks! I'm still debating the butterfly and whether to skip it. Then get the butterfly palette design with the palette that works best for me. @Titian06

@Buootiful  I love this entire haul!!!  I'm not sure if my gift cards are going to make it to the Lucky Bag sale.

[Buootiful]

Haha, really? This will be my 1st Lucky bag.  I hope there aren't too many good deals for Black Friday there.😁 @Ispend2much6

Great haul @Buootiful ! Radiant rose is such a pretty color !

[Buootiful]

Thanks! It does look really pretty @Kim888 ❤️

@Buootiful Great hauls!  The HG palettes look great for you.

[Buootiful]

Awww, thanks! I'm most excited to try Soft Light under the Elephant palette. The photo doesn't do it justice, it looks buttery. @SportyGirly125

Ulta and Nordstrom: 

One of the e.l.f. sets is for someone else; they were bogo 40% off (I think).

Sephora holiday event order #1: 

New shades of some familiar products; some new-to-me items; and one restock.

Swatches & a few notes: 

Spoiler

Dior Addict Shine Lipstick shade Dior Bar - unlike the other shade I bought, this one is sheer. It’s also mildly sparkly, which will make it more interesting to wear as a nude shade. It’s very pretty in person. 

The Inkey List 10% Azelaic Acid Serum - new to me. I’ve used other brands’ 10% azelaic acid serums for quite a while now, but curiosity demands I try TIL’s. I’m iffy about how my skin will (or won’t) react to the gardenia extract in this product, so I’ll have to patch test it for a while. 

Fenty Icon Lipstick shade Loud Speak’r - I thought this might be a MAC Satin Rebel dupe. I was wrong! In fact, I haven’t found a Loud Speak'r dupe in my lipstick hoard yet. This shade is just shy of oxblood, leaning just blue enough to be berry instead. Is… is this a berry shade I actually don’t already have?! 😲 I haven’t swatch-compared all my berries yet, and I’ve got, oh, a few, so I might yet find one that’s very close. Now that I think about it, I didn’t try any of my NARS Audacious bullets, and one of those might be close. (Note to self.) 

LYS Deluxe Higher Standard Blush Trio - I’m glad Unforgettable looks so coral on my arm. That’s what I was hoping for. 
Psst: I see this trio’s OOS at Sephora right now. But it’s available at LYS direct for 30% off ($20 USD) at the moment, so… maybe go get it there and save a bit more money. 😉 EDIT: heh, I forgot it's also $20 at Sephora, and that's before the holiday event discount. So okay, you'd save more via Sephora... hope it gets restocked, or your local Sephora store has it available! 

Rose Inc Blush shade Foxglove - this is more of an orange coral on me and should work well on my skin tone. I'll put Foxglove and Dahlia (from my Sephoria kit) inside a MUFE XL magnetic palette. They’re a near-perfect fit. 

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Beauty Highlighter Wand Duo - surprisingly kinda easy to blend out a bit on my hand using just the sponge applicator tip of each tube. These feel lightweight and not too emollient—I mean, not "this'll slide right off my face within 2 hours." A true wear test is needed, of course. Not sure how I feel about the Spotlight shade, but Pinkgasm has potential.

Amazing hauls, @WinglessOne!! These swatches are great, they all look so good!! I'm a little amazed that there is a lipstick shade novel to your collection, but that's cool!! Enjoy your goodies!!

[lmaster]

@WinglessOne such a spectacular assortment!

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @lmaster !

[tsavorite]

@WinglessOne ,

These hauls give me so many dangerous ideas! 😉  Yay!  You are an inspiration!

[WinglessOne]

@tsavorite  Haha, I'm happy to enable inspire! 

[itsfi]

Beautiful swatches, always @WinglessOne! I love that Dior lipstick; the shade looks amazing on you! 😍 I’m a big fan of the CosRX propolis line - my skin really loves it, especially in the cooler months. 

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @itsfi ! I'm hoping the Full Fit products will work on my arms and legs for winter. I'll also try them on my face since they contain nothing (to my knowledge) my facial skin can't handle, aside from my skin's love/hate relationship with honey. But I hope to boost some body skin hydration with this set once temps drop low enough. 

[Sunnysmom]

Just so beautiful on you @WinglessOne , all of it! Good scores! Loving the lippies of course! I think the new Fenty shades are so flattering and easy to wear. 

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @Sunnysmom ! I was (still am) bummed that Fenty discontinued the Mattemoiselles, but I like the Icon formula a lot. I hope they keep expanding the shade range to include at least a couple fun options like the Mattemoiselle line had.
