Lots of great products to choose from @ChickenGurlie ! The Peach Tea is so good!

[Titian06]

What a wonderful list, @ChickenGurlie ! 😍  The only item I've used or tried is the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Peach Iced Tea  from a few years ago.  I had it in my cart, but it didn't make the cut.  Enjoy the goodies you purchase! 🙂

[CorgiMommy]

Wow, great basket @ChickenGurlie 

[danielledanielle]

No one asked, but I'm comfortable to just say this...For anyone asking for a code, just a couple of friendly things

1. Have your PM/DMs on
2. Consider sticking around and interacting, like post your haul (and maybe a thank you via pm, too) in one of the threads like Hippity Hoppin April 2025 Hauls 🐰🛍 , to just make a name and interact like once a year isn't really what this place is about

[Suzanne713]

@danielledanielle 

I absolutely agree!!👏🏽👏🏽💯

I'm seeing a ton of people here just asking for a Rouge Code - I think Community interaction and DMs on is great advice!   

I've also noticed that a lot of people who are asking for a Rouge Code don't even mention/tag the products that they are considering purchasing - not that it matters but, personally, I'd like to know. Plus, seeing the tagged products might encourage other members to try something different and it shows everyone which products are popular and which products are in everyone's basket!

I agree, I'd also like to see the person's Rouge Code Haul on either/both:

Sephora Savings Event 2025 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket?Hippity Hoppin April 2025 Hauls 🐰🛍 

And, maybe tag the Rouge Member who gave you their Rouge Code...this way the Rouge Member sees the Haul and it's a way to say thank you at the same time.

Happy Shopping, Danielle!🥰🛍 

[danielledanielle]

🥂, same to you @Suzanne713 

[ChickenGurlie]

@danielledanielle  Question about the DMs! Whenever I click to go to my messages it ALWAYS says this, I’ve refreshed, rebooted, everything. Got any ideas of what I should do?

Hi everyone! Hope you are all enjoying and making the best out of the sale!! I am considering buying some items like the Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick Biscuit   ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder   Kosas Cloud Set Airy Setting Spray + Smoothing Mist 3.2 oz / 95 mL   PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Weightless Foundation   ... do you guys have any recommendations or opinions??

I also wanted to ask if anyone has a spare rouge 20% discount code?? I'm from Mexico, but currently for a few days in the US, going back on Tuesday, that's why I wanted to ask for a code... to. be able to buy the items before I leave 🙂 If anyone has an extra code you could share with me, I'd be incredibly grateful... thanks in advance ❤️

[Suzanne713]

@DanielaS08 

The Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick Truffle   is a great choice!

All Westman Atelier products are worth it, in my opinion!😍

I love:

Westman Atelier Sun Tone Hydrating Matte Bronzing Drops Soleil Parfait 3  - New! Absolutely gorgeous!

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick  - favorite Blushes!

Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Brightening Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid Atelier T4  - the BEST Concealer I've ever used!

Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops Dewy Skin Tint Atelier XI  

Westman Atelier Beauty Butter Matte Powder Bronzer Soleil riche  

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Cream Highlighter  

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Hydrating Matte Lipstick with Hyaluronic Acid  

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Hydrating Lip Balm Nana  

Westman Atelier Clean Baby Blender Blush Brush  

Westman Atelier Eye Love You Clean Kôhl Eyeliner Pencil  

Westman Atelier Eye Want You Lengthening + Volumizing Clean Mascara Clean Black  

**I might purchase the Westman Atelier Vital Skin Full Coverage Multi-Use Foundation Stick Atelier XI  today - I'm torn between WA or the new  Givenchy Prisme Libre Glow Serum Blurring Foundation with Natural Finish  

I have not tried the other products you mentioned, but I love:

Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray Duo  

Givenchy Prisme Libre Illuminating & Color Correcting Loose Powder 04 - Mousseline Acidulee  

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder  - and the shade "Honey"

Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation 11  

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation 6  

Hourglass Veil™ Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation 13  

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter 6 - Tan  

[Suzanne713]

@DanielaS08 

Yes, I absolutely recommend the Laura Mercier Setting Powder!

I have the shades Translucent, Honey, and Medium-Deep. All of the shades are beautiful!

LM is effective, very finely milled powder, doesn't leave a powdery/cakey look on your face, and there's absolutely no flashback.

I know O/S is popular but I haven't tried it. I'd go with the Laura Mercier...she's known for her Setting Powder!

If you need some color correcting, skin tone evening, or brightening in your Setting Powder...go with the Givenchy Prisme Libre Illuminating & Color Correcting Loose Powder  

It's gorgeous and works just like the LM Setting Powder but has color correcting pigments!

Laura Mercier and Givenchy are the 2 Setting Powders that I always recommend!

Both have the most finely milled Powder and zero flashback - you can't go wrong with either of them!

As for Setting Spray, it's always Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (Original and Ultra Matte for me!)

If you have any other questions, just ask - I get a notification when I'm tagged🥰

[DanielaS08]

Thank you very much for the comments! I was thinking about getting the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder  or the OS… so you really recommend LM, right? 

[danielledanielle]

@DanielaS08 I love Pat's foundation, but if you can get it during her direct site sale (you might need to be in the states, for example BF is usually 25-30%), you can get a deeper discount most of the time.  Otherwise, I highly recommend it, I have samples of the one size I have yet to try, but I think highly of it too

.. The setting spray and powder foundation were good when I've used them.  The spray is an HG for me.

[DanielaS08]

Thank you for your comments! Really excited about having some feedback… I will check on the sites as you said.

still hoping someone has a spare code to share with me 🤞🏽

[ChickenGurlie]

Super excited for the sale! There’s so many good things, I can’t decide what to buy! Anyways, does anyone have an extra rouge 20% off code I could have? If you do, I would love if it you dropped it below or tried to direct message me it! I’ll be checking this often but if one is posted down below, please be kind and don’t redeem it, I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be glad to give a code to you ❤️

[alexasteph]

I ended up going with all restocks and one new:

Restocks:

belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb with Peptide and Ceramide  - This is the best moisturizer and you cannot convince my otherwise. I think I’m probably on my… 10 tub. 

Youth To The People Peptides + C Energy Eye Concentrate with Vitamin C and Caffeine 0.5 oz / 15 mL  and First Aid Beauty Brighten + Glow Eye Cream with Niacinamide 0.5 oz / 15 ml  - My favorite under eye treatment combo. Again, both of these products have been repurchased multiple times. 

dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream with Taming Wand Taming Wand  - I love this little guy to tame flyaways, and it smells sooooo good. 

#SEPHORA COLLECTION Lift & Firm - Plumping Booster Serum with Bakuchiol 1.01 oz / 30 ml - I purchased this as a quick I need a new serum before the sale and I can buy my regular stuff a few months ago… and it genuinely surprised me how much I am enjoying it. I was so impressed I’m grabbing it again. My skin just feels so… soft. SC seems to crank out reformulations and discontinued/new fairly frequently though, so I hope that doesn’t happen with this.  

bareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE® Tinted Moisturizer  - Another multi-repurchase. This has been my go-to tinted moisturizer for forever. 

New:

SEPHORA COLLECTION Totally Juicy Lip Tint 03 Summer Slushy  - If these look/perform like the NYX ones, I’ll be very happy. 

[makeitup305]

@alexasteph I used to swear by the BM Complexion Rescue. It was my go to in college. I need to pick it up again soon. Great time for repurchases and backups!

[Suzanne713]

@alexasteph 

Great haul!😍

I love the Belif True Cream!

And, I was wondering about the SC Lift+Firm Serum...I might have to try it now that I know it's good!

[CynthieLu]

Restocking is a must during the sale @alexasteph it's a solid plan! I mean, were going to need to repurchase are tried and true's. 😀

I hope your new lippie works out. 🤞 

[curlychiquita]

Great restocks, @alexasteph! The Sephora Collection products look fabulous.
