Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

The best lunch break ever 😉 @itsfi well done!

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Right @CynthieLu?!!! 😆 I ate lunch too - PB&J, and an apple. A very productive lunch break! 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

From basket to bag, one BOPIS order and a couple of in-store purchases when I went to pick up my order. Well played, Sephora; well played! 😉😅

YSL Plumping Lip Oil - 44.jpg

💖  EADEM Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum with Niacinamide and Vitamin C 1 oz/ 30 mL - replenishing a tried-and-true part of my skincare routine

 

  MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip 12-Hour Hydrating Gel Skin Tint - there's a reason this one's trending. Amy (Sephora Union Street) helped me find a shade match and made me a sample last month (thank you!!). It was Love At First Sample!!! 🥰 

 

💋  Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid 44 Nude Lavalliere - the 44 shades seem to make their way here, sometimes without me planning to pick 'em up. 😅 She is a beauty. 

 

🛍  Sephora Gift Card - gifting it to myself in the event of an "in case of emergency" moment when my haul hibernation goes into effect at the end of the month.

 

Much appreciation to Daniel and team at the Sephora Union Street (California) store! @TeamBIC 

 

@PrettyPaint @Suzanne713 @Guessgal @curlychiquita (pssst, @sissyboi72, the lip oil #44 is a pretty mauvey pink)

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Now I need to add the YSL lippie to my list @itsfi ! It is so pretty!

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

You're a fellow YSL 44 devotee @faeriegirl. Get all the 44s! 😄

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Yes @itsfi ! The shade is perfect so I have to get them all! 😂

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

For science@faeriegirl. So honorable to take one for the team. 😉 Get. Them. All.

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Wonderful haul, @itsfi! I got the Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick 214 Wet Guava instead of a new lip oil because I have a warm undertone and peaches look good on me, but I was eyeing the lip oils, too.

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@curlychiquita, I'm jealous you can wear peach shades 😍. I really like the formula of the YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick (and the packaging too!!!) Both have hydrating / moisturizing properties. To me, the stick has a balmy component to its application (which I enjoy with the stick) that the plumping oil doesn't have, which makes sense. I'm loving all these options but at the same time, all these options can present a challenge 💸😆

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Another fabulous haul, how do you do it? @itsfi 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@CorgiMommy, I'm just trying to keep up with the other BIC beauties here, whose hauls are pretty spectacular, to put it mildly. That, and practice?? 😉 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@itsfi  amazing picks!!😍

 

Do you love the new Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid 44 Nude Lavalliere ??

- Worth purchasing?

- I was looking at Shade: Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid 04 Honey Pure Love 

 

I absolutely LOVE the "in case of emergency" Sephora Gift Card - 🤣👏🏽

you just never know when you might need it...

 

And, I've been wondering...how in the world do you create a "Spoiler"??

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@Suzanne713, I put on the YSL lip oil as soon as I got back. 😂 I do like the YSL - it's thinner than the Dior, which is also a love of mine. The plumping aspect has a noticeable stinging/tingling (though neither is a good descriptor for the feel) that kicks about a minute after applying and pressing lips together that is more noticeable than the Lawless plumping gloss. I didn't check this time to see about the actual plumping effect - will try to remember to do that over the weekend. 

 

My store didn't have a tester of the #4 - arrrgghh!!! It was the only one that they didn't have a tester for that shade and I see it's OOS online, too. I also considered getting #6 ... maybe that "in case of emergency" gift card will be coming in handy sooner than I thought, hahahaha! Must. Be. Strong.

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@itsfi That lip oil is beautiful on you.

 

And what a brilliant idea to buy a gift card to bypass a no-buy. I love that! 

 

I really want to try the milk skin tint. That's good you were able to be shade-matched. What shade did you get? I'm noticing that a lot of shades are sold out at this point. 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Thank you @PrettyPaint! I need to pay more attention to whether it plumps up my lips but it's not too stingy/tingly. I notice it start to do that about a minute after applying and smooshing (is that a word?!!) my lips together, but it's not painful. It's definitely noticeable, more so than the Lawless plumping gloss but waaaaaaaaay less than the old MILK lip plumpers.

 

lol, oh, let's hope 🤞🤞 I don't deviate outside of the gift card when it comes time to stick to my haul hibernation season - if there's a purchase, it'll have be with the gift card or a Rouge Reward/points. 

 

I ended up getting shade 4 - when I swatched it in store, before being matched, I thought I'd be shade 5. I was matched to shades 4 and 5, which is probably pretty accurate. Shade 4 brightens up my complexion 👍 without being too light. Shade 5 makes for a good match as well, but, compared to Shade 4, it makes my complexion look just a teensy bit dull.  Maybe this will help more -

If you are near a Sephora store, they may have shades in stock in store. Shade 5 went OOS online last night. If there's a Sephora at Kohl's near you, you may want to check there as well - they often have shades available that go OOS in store and online at Sephora.

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@itsfi Of course smooshing is a word! 🙂 I'm glad to hear it's not too tingly. 

 

Another observation (because I was talking with you about sunscreen earlier)... That sun safety kit is nowhere to be seen. I wonder if they are skipping it this year. It seems pretty late. I was going to wait to buy sunscreen, but perhaps I should just choose something while the sale is on. 

 

You are so sweet to post swatches of the Milk skin tint. That's really helpful. I could venture out to a store an hour away, but I may just try to order online to avoid the drive. From your photos, I'm thinking 4 might be best for me (as long as it's not too warm). I'm not sure that Milk's online photos are entirely accurate, but I think the model wearing shade 3 seems most similar to my skintone funny enough. I usually find that "light" matches better than "fair," though. 

 

 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Ugh, I think you're onto something with the Sun Safety Kit, @PrettyPaint. I do hope they have one this year, but now I'm wondering whether it will be released after the sale if they do have it; but that timing is later than usual. 

 

I hear ya on avoiding the drive if you can. I have fewer and fewer options these days. Yeah, the variances between lines or even within the same line, or between the description of the shade and the actual shade itself is always interesting. And then there's the undertones to consider. 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

@itsfi Yeah, I tend to avoid longish drives when possible, but I'm weird like that. I can't remember whether the sun safety kit has magically appeared in the past or whether it gets loaded to the site with availability dates in advance; however, I'm not entirely convinced it's going to appear this year. 😥 That's ok. I'll just have to be a bit more selective about which sunscreen I choose. 

Re: Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?

Ohhhh, are there any particular sunscreens that your debating over @PrettyPaint?
