My favorite all time blow dryer is on sale today only for $149.50. It is Bio Ionic 10X Ultralight Speed Dryer. I still use mine after 7 years. This is a very lightweight blow dryer that is very easy to manipulate. I prefer this to my Dyson Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer . I have never seen this blow dryer at such a low price but I noticed that there is a newer model available for purchase on other websites.

Oh shoo I miss this @Loretta55 . Bookmark this 😘

[Loretta55]

Unfortunately it was on sale yesterday only as one of the Oh Yeah Hair deals @blackkitty2014 . Maybe it will be on sale again because I have seen an updated version of it on a few other websites.

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Loretta55 . I saw your post yesterday but it was already sold out. Great deal. Hopefully this deal comes back sometimes

Thanks for the heads up. Do Dior and Gucci go on sale, too? In the past, right at event launch moment, some items not available.

The new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palette Elephant, HUDA BEAUTY Empowered Eyeshadow Palette , and the new NATASHA DENONA My Dream Eyeshadow Palette 

[faeriegirl]

Beautiful palettes @Amelia1!

[CynthieLu]

Really great choices @Amelia1  🙂

[SportyGirly125]

@Amelia1 Great choices.  I own ND My Dream and HG in Elephant and have the HUDA palette on the way.

I always use all the fall discount codes to stock up on my essentials, and since I got my shampoo and conditioner during F&F, I'm going to get my skincare during the Rouge sale. REN Clean Skincare Evercalm™ Overnight Recovery Balm is a winter must-have for me. This community never steers me wrong, I started using it two years ago when y'all recommended it when I started using trentinoin and my skin was super dry and sensitive. 

The First Aid Beauty sets usually have the rest of my skincare essentials (the moisturizer, cleanser, and pads), so I plan on getting First Aid Beauty FAB Skin at the Disco .

Every 2-3 years, I replace my Hourglass palettes (they last that long for me because I use makeup maybe 1-2 times a week these days!), and when I saw the designs of the palettes this year, I knew I wanted Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palette !

Finally, something I've just been curious about -- BREAD BEAUTY SUPPLY Hair Oil Everyday Gloss 

 

[faeriegirl]

Nice list @txcatx ! FAB always has really great holiday sets.

[CynthieLu]

Love your picks @txcatx the face palette look so pretty 😍 

[CookieGirl1]

@txcatx that Hourglass palette that you picked would be my choice, too.  It's so pretty!

[niki172]

@txcatx that Ren balm is such a life safer during the harsh winter months coming up. I am on the fence on the Hourglass palette but have heard nothing but good things (they always kill it with their check palettes).

[SportyGirly125]

@txcatx I own all three of the HG ambient lighting palettes from this year and I know you are going to love it. 

[danielledanielle]

@txcatx , I love the FAB holiday set, such a great value
