Perfectly timely. Thank you BP for these are amazing recommendations.
My Sephora basket is exploding!
Thank you, my friend…hope your Thanksgiving week is going well!

Your list is great- Thanks. I appreciate the links to the reviews too. I've missed a few of them along the way so I'm curious to catch up on some products. I prefer when you review multiple items in one post. For me I don't need a real in depth review- I just want the basics-& I really like how you show the complete look on yourself thru multiple photos. Different light & angles gives me more visual info and that's what I want. Again, Many Thanks!
Thank you, Chateepatee! I truly appreciate you weighing in on the review style, too.
XOXO,

Thank you so much. I swear we are makeup twins. I love you for posting these fabulous reviews and I know if you like it I will like it. Thank you for making my shopping decisions easier for me at the Sephora sale. We have wonderful taste in makeup. Lol. Have a wonderful day Beautiful!
HI Judi…that makes me so happy to hear!
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving week…XO,

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful recommendations. I am waiting for the VIB Rouge sale to start tomorrow. I am going for trip and have planned a huge gift list 🙂
I am thinking of buying a bronzer for myself. I am NC35 in MAC foundations. I like subtle bronzed look and I am thinking of buying either the NARS Laguna or Hourglass Bronzer. Which do you think will be better for subtle look? Also I am a Software Professional and do you think this will be work appropriate or should I get a matte bronzer for work? Can you include some makeup brushes in the recommendations list? Have a wonderful week ahead! Thanks, Padma
Hi Padma,
My absolute pleasure! With regards to your question, I love the Hourglass bronzer because it is subtle and natural and is so easy to apply on the run! I also adore makeup brushes from Jenny Patinkin, Surratt Beauty, Chikuhodo, Marc Jacobs Beauty and Hakuhodo. More details soon!
Have a fantastic week…xx,

I always suggest to go for the big $ items during this sale, like the TF Private Blend perfumes. You can't get those 20% off anywhere else. They go from $210 to $168, and that's a pretty good deal.
Thanks for sharing…I absolutely agree!

What's in your cart????
I plan to spend this evening filling up my cart. It's so much fun, isn't it? I always stock up on the Shiseido Facial Cotton and Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil. I think my cart might be all about skincare this go round. I have been wanting to try the Radical Skincare SPF since reading your review. Or maybe the Omorovicza SPF??? SK-II and Tata Harper need some representation on my shelves too. So many choices. Love this sale!
Loved reading this Petunia!!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your cart…XO,

I just spotted a new lip product by Troy Surratt, called Prismatique. Very pretty sheer colours with shimmer – and you can get them as part of the sale. Knowing how much you like the line, a little heads up!
YES…now featured on the blog…thank you for the heads up!!

My VIB Rouge sale haul: NARS Casino bronzer (my go-to for simple bronzing/contour) and NARS bronzing powder brush #11, added the Burberry Fresh Glow base in Nude Radiance, a Burberry face/eye contour stick in Dark, and was thrilled to grab a Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Glow Pressed Trio ! Cannot wait to try these shades.
The NARS xSteven Klein face palette is amazing value but Laguna and Paloma are both too light for me. I may get the NARS x Klein blush duo in Vengeful and would like to try a NARS creamy concealer even though I love my Eve Pearl! 🙂 I'm such a sucker for limited edition sets especially around the holidays!
Thank you for sharing your amazing haul, Kathryn!!! Loved reading it!

Hii! I was between purchasing the Kevyn aucoin liquid highlighter and the one from koh gen do that you featured a few times. Sephora carries both of them now can you say what similarities/differences are? Thank you!!!
Hello!
I love the Koh Gen Do illuminator as it is one of the only highlighters I have ever finished…it is ultra natural yet entirely ethereal…one of the best I've ever tried!
Hope that helps…xx,
