I really line to get the higher priced items t 20% off so, for now I’m thinking the Pat McGrath Mothership VII and her foundation, the Dior Backstage Highlight and Eyeshadow Palette, an Hourglass Lip Gloss and a YSL Rouge Volupte, I really love them.  I’m still working on my list

I will treat myself to Westman Atelier Vital Pressed Skincare Blurring Talc-Free Setting Powder probably in pink shade. I love getting 20% Westman!! I am considering the Westman Atelier Lip Suede Lipstick Palette Les Nudes but really find it to be too expensive especially for a product where shades aren't separated into different pans.  I hope this year she comes out with lipsticks in individual shades. I have my eye onKAYALI YUM PISTACHIO GELATO | 33 EDP INTENSE but am waiting for more verified purchase reviews. I am almost out of some regulars like my OUAI Rose Hair & Body Oil and Josie Maran Argan Infinity Cream Intensive Creamy Oil 2.2 oz/ 65 mL.

@melanito  I’m also interested in the pistachio fragrance, but I’m also a little concerned about all of the incentivized reviews. 

[danielledanielle]

Great picks @melanito .  I am with you on that lip palette, it looks so good, but yeah, it would be better if they were separate pans.

Since this seems like a great place to ask - does anyone have any recommendations for SPF? I have a liquid one that I use under my makeup Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 42 but I have an upcoming trip and will be outdoors for quite some time. As I'm pretty sure I can't reapply this sunscreen over my makeup (I think that would be a hot mess) I was looking at something like the Supergoop! (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 - Translucent 0.15 oz / 4.43 mL . I have dry skin so I'm not sure about a powder but as I'm also fair skinned and I def don't want to burn and cause damage. Any and all suggestions appreciated!

Thinking about maybe getting the sephora summer favorites set, or the sun block one, and than getting some goodies from glow recipe for my mom

[PrettyPaint]

@Anastasiya13  Me too. I’m hoping the sun safety one is still available.

PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Divine Powder Bronzer Bronze Nirvana (link not active yet; release 4/7)

PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Divine Powder Bronzer(The 'Desert Glow' pearl one, link not active yet; I think Desert Glow is a PMG site exclusive in addition to 2 other shades, at the moment 5 are listed on Sephora, 8 total on direct)

OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 mL 

Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Firmeza Firming & Debloating Body Oil 3.38 oz / 100 mL

Glossier Pro Tip Long-Wearing Liquid Eyeliner Pen Black( @eshoe rec'd)

Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil .27 oz / 8 mL(I don't know why I want this, but here I am)

(@Mcakes , you were right...my budget dreams have been crushed at this point)

[eshoe]

Ok, @danielledanielle … the Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil .27 oz / 8 mL?!?! Now I don’t know why, but I want this too 😂

[niki172]

@eshoe SAME 😅. I saw this on IG or somewhere and it was like "ooohh I gotta have it!" lol.

[eshoe]

The bottle is so unique for a lip oil, @niki172. Ugh pretty packaging is such a deterrent to rational decision-making 🤣 

[Titian06]

@danielledanielle - Are the new PMG bronzer coming to Sephora?  Your links don't work and they're not showing on the company page.  I'm with you on getting one of these!  The palette is pretty too.

[danielledanielle]

@Titian06 , usually the tags are placed, product will be available later.  Since they released on the direct site today at 9am EST, I figured they would have tags, but no active product page.  That's also why I put link not active next to each one.  The only time I've been off was with fashion fair lip teasers 🤦🏽‍♀️😂, but they came out eventually.

[Titian06]

@danielledanielle - I'm sorry! 😳  I was looking at the pics/links to the products at the bottom of your post (the part that is done automatically).  I didn't even notice your disclaimer next to your product tags in the text.  That was most definitely my impatience to check out the products you are interested in!  (Where's the emjoi for smacking forehead in stupidity?)

[danielledanielle]

@Titian06, the product page is up now.  Release date looks to be 4/7.

[Titian06]

Thanks, @danielledanielle !  It's on my Loves list and I signed up to be notified. 😁

[Loretta55]

LOL @Titian06 ! If there isn’t an emoji there should be one.

[danielledanielle]

Ahhhhh, don't apologize.  It was the excitement, I totally get it @Titian06 !

[bakeamuffin]

I want to restock some staple products like my fav Verb Volume Shampoo and Verb Volume Conditioner! 

I also may grab the Glossier Balm Dotcom Lip Balm and Skin Salve Birthday, a facial oil and possibly a Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Joy if any colours are in stock at the time ☺️ 

also really considering a new lip liner but can’t chose between the Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Kind Words Lip Liner Fun or the Tower 28 Beauty OneLiner Lip Liner + Eyeliner + Cheek Pencil ! 💄 

We just finished moving and getting my makeup/skincare/hair care products unpacked and reorganized has been so fun and has helped me to see what I need just in time for the sale! 

[quspork]

Looks like some solid picks, @bakeamuffin! I'm curious about the Rare lip oils too- we'll see if one makes it into the cart come sale time.
