@mssocial  Those Gucci lippies are so pretty!! I’ve been using the eye cream and I really like it!!

[mssocial]

Thank you @ather , I'm in great need of a moisturizing eye cream, hopefully it works for me as well, thank you for your feedback!😍

[curlychiquita]

The Gucci lip balm is beautiful, @mssocial!

[mssocial]

thank you @curlychiquita 😍, can't wait to try it!

This should have been for more than one time use. I've seen many ads for the getgifting promotion and none said one time use. Irritated & disappointed in Sephora. 

[SportyGirly125]

@SegerCat @It’s multiple use at Sephora Kohl’s but one time at Sephora. 

[SegerCat]

Really great to know that thank you very much!! Have presents to buy. Hope you have a peaceful week!!

Is it a different coupon for Kohls? I tried using the Getgifting code on the kohls website and I get an error message 

[SportyGirly125]

@belra @Did you check your email from Kohl’s they gave me a code to use but it’s unique. Also check your Sephora email for the Kohl’s barcode below. 

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @SportyGirly125 for posting this. I found the code in my Kohl’s account.

I stopped by Sephora after work and picked up LANEIGE Cream Skin Mist 2.54 oz/ 75 mL which had been sold out online, but the store had plenty in stock! I also got a Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator which is another product I've been meaning to try. I was looking for a liquid highlighter and after testing out several, I decided that I liked the texture of this one the best.

[Saradestin]

Great picks @txcatx ! I love Saie’s Highlighter!

[ather]

@txcatx  Ooo great choices I haven’t tried the spray but it sounds wonderful! I love the Saie highlighter I hope you do too!! 

[Vonneh]

@txcatx I love the Saie Dewy highlighter. It works beautifully under foundation!

[Mellmars1185]

@txcatx Great haul! I haven't been in a Sephora store in a while. I miss it!

[Saradestin]

That moisturizer has great ingredients @JessKors. Such a good deal!

[ather]

@JessKors  Great deal!

[curlychiquita]

I like the Protini moisturizer, too, @JessKors!

[Mellmars1185]

@JessKors Enjoy your haul! I have tried the sample and so far so good 👍

Had to pick up another concealer -- my favorite, the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Face and Under-Eye Concealer 2 (in shade 4.5, don't know why they won't let me select that here).

Also, the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Setting and Finishing Powder - Limited Edition because I need a new setting powder and the puffer is very cute!

And some perfume gift sets, so I can try out some new scents without a huge commitment!

Armani Beauty Mini My Way & Acqua di Gioia Perfume Duo 

BURBERRY Her Eau de Parfum Mini Duo Set 

So excited for this haul (:
