Exactly @ather my hair is fair on my legs and I'm pretty sure those don't work well in those scenarios 😭

[Margalee]

@CynthieLu  Beauty wise I'd say one of those enormous bottles of perfume like they use in the ads with the models. Other dreamy items I have wanted but have denied due to cost are a full size Kilian parfum, or the new My Way Parfum. I haven't actually tested My Way Parfum yet but 110 an ounce... Also one of those full range lip sets from YSL or Armani or Dior.

[ather]

@Margalee  Great choices!! 

[CynthieLu]

Oooh a luxe set of lippies 💋 that's a fun thought @Margalee 

I was maybe thinking of getting the sephora collection lip set this sale of it dosent sell out before hand 😅 30% off might be to tempting to resist

[arrecife]

Ooof, this deserves its own thread @CynthieLu  lol! TOM FORD Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum Fragrance and SK-II Anti-Aging Facial Treatment Essence  . I can’t justify the price of either in my current budget, sadly! 

Good question!

[ather]

@arrecife  Awww darn. Both sound wonderful! I used the SKII for many years and loved it. If I see it on GWP I always snag it!! 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh nice ones! 

So I heard alot of buzz around SK-II, I know what mean, that stuff sounds fabulous! I keep my eyes peeled for it in the Rewards Bazaar hoping I can use my points to get my hands on some trial sizes 😋 @arrecife 

[Kim888]

@CynthieLu ooh that is a good one! I think for me it would be AERIN Lilac Path - it's one of my favorite perfumes but I have so much perfume to get through right now, I cant justify it, I wish they had a travel size ! Or else maybe Augustinus Bader The Daily Essential Duo The Cream !

[ather]

@Kim888  Oh yes those sound so good!! I haven’t tried either but would gladly test them out if given the chance!

[CynthieLu]

Lilacs are so beautiful 🪻 @Kim888 That perfume sounds like it would be lovely.

I 100 percent I hear you on splurging on Augustinus Bader. That's right up there with La Mer, totally luxury skin 🤩✨️👌

[Guessgal]

@CynthieLu Mine would be a bottle from the Narciso Rodriguez Oriental Musc range, which is even more expensive than their regular line 😨

[geewhiz]

They don't even sell any Narciso Rodriguez fragrances at Sephora anymore.  Gutted.

[Guessgal]

@geewhiz My heart nearly dropped to the deep depths of the earth when I read that!! But I'm still able to find it on the Sephora Canada website. Did they stop selling it in the US? That would be such a shame! I always thought Narciso Rodriguez's perfumes were underrated, but then recently I read that all the French girls wear it so I thought it was becoming more popular 🤷‍♀️

@CynthieLu No, I haven't gotten a change to smell the oriental musc line, since only The Bay has it as far as I know, but I haven't stopped by a counter in a while since I usually purchase online from them. I will make it my new mission to go and see if they have the testers, although I'm sure I'll fall in love given how much I love the original Narciso Rodriguez For Her 😉

[geewhiz]

The Rose and Santal flankers are spectacular! I'm searching far and wide for the Oud.  Narciso Rodriguez for Her EDT is a classic and you will not be disappointed, especially with the original For Her EDT.

[CynthieLu]

@geewhiz @Guessgal oooh if it's at The Bay I want to give it a smell test now 🤩 

[CynthieLu]

Oh those look niiiccceee @Guessgal 

Have you smelled any of them yet? ‌🖤‌‌💛‌

Really nice perfume is on the pricey side, I can see why it's on alot of our if only we could wish lists ‌🌠

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturizer 

[CynthieLu]

Oh that's a good one! @Mellmars1185 🤩

I tell myself that #Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream 1 oz/ 28 g Is my affordable La Mer dupe 😅

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I finally got to smell that one the other day!  It isn't quite what I expected but I liked it.  You should definitely get it 😉.

[CynthieLu]

I want to smell them all @CookieGirl1 lol, If I finish a few old bottles of perfume I could maybe make a big splurge on this fantasticness 😉

[dimesandnichols]

@CynthieLu this is tough, because there are a lot of things I’d love but won’t dare to pay the $$$ for. I’ll pick MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Cream Foundation Palette 12 x 0.1 oz/ 2.5 g Ultra HD Found...
