@sundasusman  same, I wanted sooo many things but had to stick to a budget 😅 sounds like you still got some great picks though!

[gonerogue]

Lots of items went in and out of my cart this time around but here are the standouts:

Repurchases:

• Armani Luminous Silk- I have about half a bottle left and don't even wear makeup most days so repurchase not necessary at this time
• k18 x Future Society -this would have been back up #3 but I decided to just cross that bridge when I get there
• Nutrafol Hair Serum 3 pack- currently using one now and still need to gather my thoughts on it so no need to go out and impulsively buy 3 more 😅
• Tartlette tubing vault- I *KNOW* I have one or two new ones at home so I am determined to find them first before I give up and purchase more. Currently the only mascara formula I am using and love love love it

New Temptations:

• Violette_fr Lune Liners- they have them as a set with a fourth shade on their direct site so thinking I will buy them as a set there instead
• Eadem Set- I purchased 2 during the sale and they haven't even shipped so no need to get more shades until I test drive the formula and see if I like it, Oh, plus set was OOO so couldn't have gotten anyway! 😜
• Gucci Hydrating Lip Gloss in LE Shade Rosso Ancora. Figured I didn't need another gloss even if it's LE 😶
• Givenchy Holiday LE powder highlight- I am using my Laura Mercier glow setting powder as a highlight right now and the finish looks exactly the same so I will finish this product before I entertain a new LE highlighter

@greeneyedgirl107 I wanted to get some products from Fara Homidi, like the bronzer and the lip kit, but I didn’t because I know that I’ll want to purchase a moisturizer during Black Friday sales at the end of the month.

[Titian06]

That was a good idea, @curlychiquita ! 🙂

[makeitup305]

@curlychiquita smart of you to plan ahead. What moisturizer are you buying during BF?

[curlychiquita]

@makeitup305 I still like my La Mer but I also like a SkinCeuticals moisturizer that my husbanded uses, which I usually purchase from LovelySkin.

[makeitup305]

@curlychiquita That does sound save-up worthy. Do you have Costco membership? I always see the La Mer there for a good deal less than other retailers. 

[curlychiquita]

@makeitup305 @No, there isn’t a Costco near me, unfortunately, so I never got a membership. 

[makeitup305]

@curlychiquita if you need a hookup, let me know 😉 they have them online.

[danielledanielle]

Believe it or not, I have a modicum of restraint 🤣

I really like the Hung Vanngo palette I have, but realized how similar the Brilliant Blue and Gorgeous Green are to the Oceanic Palette.  I'm still fighting with myself on the purple one. 

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask With Pomegranate Sterols + Vitamin... in cocoa.  I wish this was in the set with the lip oil instead  of hot chocolit, and since I'm good on lip masks, I passed. 

DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter in Abracadadior.  You know, the fact this went OOS quickly helped.  I had a feeling it's too pale and glittery, like I have pearly and I barely use it for that reason.

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle I looked at the Dior too and reminded myself that I own Pearly. I think you made the right choice with this one. I also skipped the powder highlighter for the same reason.

[makeitup305]

@greeneyedgirl107 you read my mind with this thread. I feel like in past years I've struggled more with items I've wanted and decided not to, but after going in store and swatching, it was a lot easier to pare it down. 

Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Liquid Blush in Chilly Crush

Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder Blush in Chilly Crush

- both of these are great quality products and I love red blush, but I decided it was going to be too much work to make them for me, since I'm quite fair. Doable but I've got other options that are easier. Probably best for medium to deep skin.

YSL Golden Oasis Face Palette - I love the idea of this palette but I didn't love the shades included for highlighters. 

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette - I have quite a few of the ones she's done in previous years but the swatches didn't convince me this year. Maybe they perform better than they swatch but I didn't feel like chancing it. 

Phlur Vanilla Nectar and Cashmere Skin - I just didn't feel like blind buying them.

Danessa Myricks Lightwork VII - I love the packaging and if I had the one from last year it would be much harder to say no, but I'm tapped on colorful palettes at the moment.

Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit - I really enjoy this fragrance but I have the dupe for it and I still don't wear it that often so I decided to skip it. 

[Titian06]

@makeitup305 - The YSL liquid blush in Chili Crush was also on my list too.  It didn't make the cut for the same reason as you (and for the powder version).

I still like Saie's liquid blushes.  I'm hoping they'll come out with a red.

[makeitup305]

@Titian06 did you see the red shade from Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush - Brightening Serum Blush in Cherry Flush? It might be a good choice. I thought about it but decided to pick up the new Dior liquid blushes in Hibiscus instead. 

[Titian06]

@makeitup305 - No, Glow Recipe is generally not on my radar.  I also want to look at the Dior liquid blushes too.

[makeitup305]

@Titian06 I'll post a swatch as soon as mine comes in and tag you!

[danielledanielle]

I think this is well thought out.  I saw a lot of positive comments about the ysl palette, but would see remarks about the highlighters being chunky @makeitup305 ... At that price , they need to all be stunning IMO
