We're a couple of weeks away from the spring savings event! There's a high chance there'll definitely be some add-ons to my lists in those weeks as more and more beauties are released @TeamBIC. It's getting harder to keep up with what's all coming as there's new things every week, if not every day, so I'll be checking out the Product Releases: 2025 thread.

Here's what the "final" list looks like - somehow, I thought it would be a smaller group of goodies, lol. I won't pick up everything on the list, and, well, as you can see, I've already purchased a few things - a little pre-event shopping. 🤣

@itsfi I will have to sample that Jo Malone fragrance,  it just intrigues me.

[CookieGirl1]

@CorgiMommy @itsfi same!  It sounds like such a lovely Summer scent.

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, never a bad idea to test out a fragrance if you can. The notes listed for scent come through but not in the order expected. It smelled lovely on the blotter and that translated beautifully on my skin as well. 

[ruku1201]

I have a huge list but some of my favourites LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C 

Tatcha The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser 

The INKEY List Omega Water Cream Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 mL

BondiBoost HG Conditioner for Thinning Hair with Rosemary 16.9 oz/ 500 mL 

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment 2.02 oz / 60 mL 

[CookieGirl1]

Have you tried the Bondi Boost line before, @ruku1201 ?  If so, did you really notice a difference in your hair from using them?

[CynthieLu]

The AHA mask from Glow Recipe is so good! 🍉👌 @ruku1201 fantastic choices! 

[curlychiquita]

Great list, @ruku1201!

[CorgiMommy]

Great basket @ruku1201

I can’t shop the sale but I will be working it. 

on my list to buy is PAT McGRATH LABS MOTHERSHIP XII: Petalmorphosis 

We carry Ciele in store but I really want to try it after taking the Sephora masterclass yesterday

ciele Dual-Ended Concealer Brush 

ciele tint & PROTECT medium coverage serum foundation with SPF 50+ 

ciele glow & PROTECT SPF 50+ liquid highlighter 

ciele filter & PROTECT SPF 30+ finishing and setting powder 1 

Tower 28 Beauty GetSet Blur + Set Matte Powder Blush Long Beach Iced Tea I saw and swatched it in person and it felt really nice 

[PrettyPaint]

@SportyGirly125 I'm also considering the new palette. I've been pretty decent about not purchasing palettes lately, but this one is tempting! 

[CynthieLu]

These are beautiful choices! @SportyGirly125 😍

[SportyGirly125]

@CynthieLu Thank you 

[curlychiquita]

The new Mothership palette looks so beautiful, @SportyGirly125!

[SportyGirly125]

@curlychiquita @It really is. I can’t wait to see it in store. 

[Sunnysmom]

I need to see the highlighter in person @SportyGirly125 . How do you think it compares to other brands? Dior, Saie, Givenchy come to mind? 

[SportyGirly125]

@Sunnysmom @We don’t carry everything from Ciele only the foundation, powder, and blush. I actually need to get samples of the foundation to try. I heard from the masterclass that the primer is coming but they are also giving us a deluxe sample of it. The highlighter is online only. 

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @SportyGirly125 !

[CynthieLu]

My cart does change a lot as the sale approaches. Some of this may stay, or go or be replaced. ☺️ I don't know if I can get it all. 

I'm really hoping K18 Biomimetic Hairscience AstroLift™ Reparative Volume Spray 4 oz / 118 ml comes in stock in the Canadian Sephora 🤞🤞

But this is my dream list atm

  

[PrettyPaint]

@CynthieLu I love your list! I'm thinking of purchasing a few needed hair products as well.
