@gonerogue The Frizz Spray works wonders on my hair. I hope it made your final lineup!

[gonerogue]

@furbie  Thank you for the tip! That was one of the items on my 3rd shopping trip that I was not able to place due to the server being slow. I’ll readd it to my cart this weekend and see how I feel about getting it. Have to check my stash of backup hair products to make sure I don’t already have something similar I need to use up first.

[furbie]

No problem @gonerogue. Yes, the servers were struggling last night. After a bit of shuffling the items in my cart, I went to bed. First thing this morning I ordered everything in my cart, but didn't see that they didn't remove the smaller size of the Sephora makeup brush cleaner. Smh. 

If you decide to order it anyway, at least you won't have to worry about running out any time soon 😆

I should have waited for the Dr dennis gross peels wipes for the sale but I was so nervous that they would sell out that I ended up buying them. 

[gonerogue]

@KayPowe  Smart on your part to get them before they sell out, though. Have you considered getting another during the sale to have a stash that will last you a long time? I recently got back to doing the peels weekly so I will be needing this set for sure 👌🏻

[KayPowe]

Wow this is a good idea I might just stock up even more!!!!

[furbie]

@KayPowe Do you mind sharing your experience with the DDG peel pads? 

[gonerogue]

@KayPowe  Looking forward to seeing your haul pictures after the sale ❤️

I wonder if they will be doing the Sephora Favorites Candle set again! That has been one of my favorites from the last 2 years ! So cozy!

@TeamBIC these are waiting for me ❤️

[furbie]

I hope you get your Dior @lmaster 🙂

[lmaster]

I did 😹 I couldn't wait! @furbie 

[furbie]

Yayyyy @lmaster!!! Yes, better to get your things early before they're gone. As a VIB, the things I really wanted were normally sold out by the time we were allowed into this sale.

[lmaster]

That's disappointing @furbie I'm sorry to hear that

[furbie]

Oh, @lmaster that's okay. Lol, I don't have to worry about the scraps anymore! I finally made it to Rouge 😆

[lmaster]

Whooooo hoooo 🎉 @furbie 

[bakeamuffin]

Great choices @lmaster ! Those Dior Glosses are pristine 😍

[lmaster]

Thank you darlin!! @bakeamuffin I actually already have the 010 pink holographic gloss 🤦 good thing I checked

[Kim888]

I love that gloss too @lmaster !

[lmaster]

@Kim888 they are calling my name 🤣

@TeamBICAlthough I always have a million things on my Loves list (I'm sure I'm alone in that, right? LOL), the thing I absolutely will be purchasing again this year is the L'Occitane Classic Beauty Advent Calendar . I got it last year, and I LOVED it. It was the fun part about getting out of bed every morning in the dark days of December.
