With all the holiday sets launching it’s the perfect time to redeem the reward @faithnmoore ! Choosing is definitely the hardest part, there’s so many fun sets this year and more to come 🥳

 Sephora reward redemption

 I have been waiting for a rouge reward but keep missing it 🤔 but this reward got me. Mainly for the bag. 🖤 the mascara was full size though!

[Buootiful]

Oh great score on the Bag reward! Even better it came with a fs mascara. I have so much FOMO for this bag at Ulta and here😍I'm the opposite and always see the Rouge reward, lol. @sonnydee 

[ather]

@sonnydee  Great reward! 

[curlychiquita]

Exciting reward redemption, @sonnydee! I like the bag!

[CorgiMommy]

@sonnydee great reward, congratulations 

[caitbird]

@sonnydee  awesome reward! The higher points rewards go so fast but there are so many nice ones, I'm glad you were able to snag one you wanted! Hope you enjoy!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Congrats on redeeming your RR that is such a beautiful bag that’s so exciting. I hope you enjoy it and your new products 💕 @sonnydee 

[lmaster]

Oh nice haul @sonnydee 

[CynthieLu]

Who can resist a fun brand bag @sonnydee 😀 and a full size mascara? Nice!

When I'm hunting one of those I tend to see the Rouge 100$ usually drop just slightly after the main rewards drop. Anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes after. 

[sonnydee]

Ohhhh good to know @CynthieLu @SportyGirly125 thanks 😊 

[CynthieLu]

Good luck hunting 🍀🤞 @sonnydee

@sonnydee @Great score!  I post when I see the rouge reward on Tuesday and Thursday on this thread Rouge Rewards Bazaar Updates 

[caitbird]

I am so behind on posting, pls forgive me 😅 but here are this month's hauls so far!

HomeGoods: my favorite place to shop for affordable candles (along with TJ Maxx); I splurged on a whole bunch of mostly fall-themed scents.

this is the one I decided to try first - it truly does smell exactly like a sweet apple!

Spoiler

I got the "Secret Garden" candle mostly for the container, because OMG, look at this lid:
I will definitely be reusing this container!

Nest New York: they are one of my favorite candle brands so far, and I have been really into all things fall lately, so I treated myself to their "Indulge in Fall" candle set.

They are beautiful and smell so yummy! So far I have only tried Pistachio & Wild Fig, which is a lovely warm nutty, mapley scent, and strong enough that even the cold throw fills my bedroom! Vanilla Bourbon sample was a GWP; it's not my usual type of scent but it's nice, especially if you like vanilla.

Sephora No. 1: my "I did it for the points" haul (500 points for spending $75, plus 100 points each for placing an order in the app, ordering a tool or brush, and ordering a hair product!).

I also spent 100 points each on another one of both Deco Beauty x Sephora nail sticker sheets (@itsfi  😅)

Sephora No. 2: my "what I used the points for" haul. I was able to get a Rouge Reward the day before this palette became available on the app, so I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on!

I've only swatched it so far, but my initial impression is 😍 DM has knocked it outta the park once again! Swatches in spoiler:

Spoiler

It's really hard to capture the shift & shimmer of these shades in swatch pics like this, but they are gorgeousss

Ulta: reward points + the last bit of a gift card meant I paid less than $7 for this haul 😁

I need more sheet masks like I need...uh...something I really don't need 😅 but I thought these were so cute, I couldn't resist! The candle sounded yummy and it does smell really good unlit, I can't wait to try it out properly! I wanted a burgundy lippy so I got a liquid lipstick and a gloss stick to try, plus a lip liner. The ND concealer is me trying another shade of a formula I really like. Swatches in spoiler:

Spoiler

top to bottom:
Nyx Liquid Lipstick "Never Basic"
Nyx Lip Liner "Burgundy"
About Face Cherry Pick Lip "Wicked Apple"
NATASHA DENONA Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Medium to Full Coverage Crease Proof Serum Concealer ... 

I have another order of candles oops, TWO more orders of candles coming soon too, I'll post when I get them 😂

[Buootiful]

Oh my, candles galore! Which brand is your favorite at Homegoods, that gives good throw? The DM looks gorgeous! @caitbird 

[caitbird]

@Buootiful  thank you! So far I like DW Home a lot, they have a pretty endless selection and they seem to be good quality. I've actually ordered some candles from them direct now, I'll post that haul soon when I get it.

[ather]

@caitbird  Incredible haul! 

[caitbird]

@ather  thank you so much! 💜

[itsfi]

It's hauls like yours @caitbird that really make me wish smellavision was a thing. Your house must smell amazing with those candles! The lid on that Sweet Garden one is absolutely adorable. Ahhhh, the Nest autumn trio - looks so good - it made me smile to see you treat yourself to the set - indulge in fall, indeed!!! I just recently picked up the new one, Pistachio and Wild Fig, as well. Excited to share notes with you on that scent. 

Okay, the notes on the Sweet Apple candle are ones that pique my interest - apple and pear?! Mmmm... Love your layout for the photo too - background and surrounding props with the candle create a comfy, cozy reading nook feel. 😍

I spy Deco Beauty nail art stickers - yaaay! Excited to see what mani you create with them. 💅

P.S. Those are Squishmallow sheet masks???!! Have you seen these @PrettyPaint?

[caitbird]

@itsfi  thank you so much! I must admit, I have been feeling a bit smug lately that my bedroom is consistently the best-smelling room in the house, even though it is also the only room in the house that contains a kitty litter box 😅 the wonders of scented candles (and, you know, religiously cleaning the box so Frida doesn't decide to do her "business" elsewhere...like my bed...😓)

Pistachio and Wild Fig is such a yummy gourmand scent! It's very maple-y, but not in a bad way. I've only tried it once so far but I definitely liked it. Also was impressed by how strong the throw was, even unlit.

The "layout" for the Sweet Apple candle photo is actually just a picture taken with the candle in situ in my candle-burning spot, lol. I have a little corner set up on one of the bookshelves by my bed, which I tried to pretty up with some decor and knickknacks. I am pretty happy with how the setup looks, so I am glad you like it too 🙂

And yes, the masks are part of TonyMoly's new (? new-ish, at least) line of Squishmallow-themed skincare products - they have hand creams and a few other things, too. @PrettyPaint  I think they are all available at Ulta.

[PrettyPaint]

@caitbird Thanks!! I actually just bought one of them - Cam the Cat eye mask! 😺
