Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope you are enjoying some time with loved ones and are able to take some time to yourself to relax and unwind from the business of the holiday season. I was gifted my first Nest Birchwood Pine 3-Wick Candle earlier this month and loved it so much I bought a few more as gifts. Those who adore this scent – it’s now marked down on 25% off sale here and here. The Holiday Scent candles are also on sale as well, here and here. If you’re a Nest fan please let me know what other scents you love. Would appreciate recommendations!

One last mention because I’ve featured this Tory Burch Pouch Duo before and it’s on the pricey side. Right now it’s on sale here (49% off) in three colors while supplies last or until 11/30.
Happy sale shopping! Let me know if you end up hauling anything or if you’re waiting for Cyber Monday. Would love to know what you ended up buying. I have my eye on this Lorac Love, Lust and Lace Eyeshadow Palette (at $12, it’s a steal!). I’m contemplating the Becca Afterglow Palette – but the pans seem tiny – if you have this (or tried it let me know what you think). I just ordered the MAC Patentpolish – so excited for it to arrive.
I’ll have another roundup of Cyber Monday sales and codes so stay tuned.
Some deals and sales you can shop today. I’m waiting for Cyber Monday for the deals, but in case you’ve had your eye on something and don’t want to wait for the sales, here are some you can shop right now:
First Aid Beauty – 30% off Friends and Family with code FABFAM15 at checkout (excludes skincare kits and holiday sets), valid through 11/22, free shipping on orders over $50
Unfortunately this excludes sets, but there are still a lot of good individual items, the Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask has been a lifesaver for me this week, my skin freaked out and this helped calm everything down
Giorgio Armani Beauty – 20% off purchases $75 or more plus free standard shipping, valid until 12/8 at 12:00 AM PST
YSL Beauty – 20% off purchases $75 or more plus complimentary shipping and 2 deluxe samples, if you spend $150 or more, you will receive an additional YSL Signature Brush Set

Have a great weekend! If you know of any other good weekend sales, let me know in the comments.
The Sephora VIB Holiday 20% off sale starts today for VIB Members in store (with your e-mail code or coupon mailer) and online with code VIB20. I am a VIB Rouge member and tested the code today to see if it would work (because several e-mailed me asking me to test it) but it doesn’t. I have a roundup of what I bought last week when the code worked for VIB Rouge Members along with some quick swatches of the color/makeup items. I shopped in store – there were a few things in my online cart that were online exclusives but I didn’t check out before the sale ended – no biggie since I splurged on a lot of other goodies. Here’s the damage below.
For my husband, I picked up the Dior Sauvage Eau De Toilette Spray in the 2 oz bottle. He prefers smaller bottles because they take up less counter space. I had the 3 piece gift set on my list for him, but it’s an online exclusive and he’s picky about after shave lotions. I decided to stay with what was safe. I also picked up the Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum for him. It’s a fresh scent but still has enough masculine notes to wear year round. Sephora has the exclusive on the small 1 oz size so I thought I’d try it. I should have just bought the regular 1.7 oz size but my curiosity got the best of me with the tiny bottle.
For makeup, I picked up the following:
Burberry First Kiss Fresh Gloss Lip Balm in Coral Glow which is a stunning coral balm, it hydrates, feels good on the lips, and gives a healthy tint of color with a stunning glow
Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipsticks in Melted Nude and Melted Chihuahua have been on my list for ages, I can’t believe it took me so long to buy these, Melted Nude might just be my new holy grail nude lip color, Chihuahua is what I wanted Kat Von D Lolita to be on me
Cover FX Illuminator in Sunlight has had so many raves, I had to try it, I’ve worn it 2x so far, I’m undecided about it, it’s like but not pure love, for the price it’s good
Sephora Colorful Contour Powder in Fiji and Highlighter in Secretive can’t be beat at the $15 price tag (for each), I was hoping Secretive would be a dupe for Chanel Coups de Minuit, but the Sephora color is a lot sheerer in finish, Fiji is a nice warm subtle contour
Cover FX Illuminating Primer is another highly raved about primer, I have high hopes for it, currently testing, will report soon
Bite Beauty Mix and Mingle Duos in Café/Pepper (for me) and Latte/Cortado (as a gift) of course I could not resist these cute lip duos, Café is the best light pink ever, I wish it was available in the full size lipstick
The Glamglow Supercleanse Daily Clearing Cleanser is one of my favorite clarifying cleansers, I’ve gone through a couple bottles already and repurchased another one during the sale, I was contemplating the GIFTSEXY Ultimate Anti-Aging Set which is still on my wishlist, I’m going to wait and see if there will be any Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals
There were also mini Glam Glow samples for beauty insider points in store so I redeemed some points for the newest one
If you shopped the sale last week or are planning to shop the VIB Sale this weekend, let me know what’s on your list or what you picked up. Would love to hear about your hauls 🙂
If you’re shopping in store, you can show the card or e-mail you received for the VIB Code or Coupon. If you’re shopping online at Sephora.com use code VIB20 (good for VIB members only), you should be able to use it multiple times online from today until November 16th.
The Sephora VIB Rouge Holiday Shopping Event starts today! VIB Rouge Members can get 20% off all purchases in store and online November 6 – 9. If you have reached VIB Rouge status you should have received a flyer in the mail with the discount card or check the e-mail associated with your Sephora Beauty Insider account and you’ll can present that in store. For online orders use code ROUGE20 at checkout. I have a roundup of my top recommendations along with what’s on my wishlist.
There are so many good skincare sets out this year, First Aid Beauty launched some really good values sets, the Peace, Joy and FAB Kit (4) has their top five selling products
Urban Decay Naked Palettes are my favorite neutral palettes, Naked Smokey (6) is the latest launch although Naked2 Basics and Naked3 are my favorites (swatches)
AmorePacific has several value sets out with minis perfect to test out before committing to the full size, I bought The Moisture Bound Oil-Free Set (8) and love every item, I am planning on purchasing some of the full size items
Bite Beauty Discovery Set (9) has eight pieces with classic staples, I haven’t reviewed mine yet but hope to soon (it’s really really good)
Dior Addict Fluid Sticks (10) are among my favorite lipstick formula although they are a lipstick and lipgloss hybrid, swatches of colors I have here and here
Clarisonic Alpha Fit for Men (11) is something I bought for my husband and he really likes it, everything from the packaging design, function and brush head work really well for his skin and helps with shaving, review and close ups here
Sephora x Hakuhodo Brushes launched earlier this year, for holiday Sephora launched the Kanpeki Perfection Brush Set (13) which is priced at a value price, review of the individual brushes here
Last but not least, the Buxom Leave Your Mark and Don’t Miss a Beat sets are awesome deals and have such beautiful colors, I’m working on swatches of both, stay tuned, but I will say right now, both are must-haves
What’s on my wishlist:
Dior Sauvage Gift Set (14) has an Eau De Toilette, Travel Spray and Aftershave Lotion
Lavanila make my favorite deodorant, the Starlight Deodorant Trio (15) has Vanilla Snowberry, Pure Vanilla, Vanilla Amber and comes with super cute packaging
Guerlain Météorites Powder For The Face And Décolleté (19) for this holiday is the prettiest one I’ve seen to date, I already ordered one last week but think I need a backup, how cute are the little star powders?
Louboutin Silky Satin Lipstick (21) has been on my wishlist since it launched in September, I have the three red shades (reviewed here) which are amazing, I’ve been trying to wait to see the colors in person before splurging, but I’m going to take the jump and order a few colors sight unseen
Bite Beauty Bite Mix and Mingles (22) are back this year, Pepper/Café is the perfect neutral duo (I saw it earlier this week in store but didn’t buy it)
Sephora Collection Colorful Blushes and Highlighters (24) are something I swatched a few weeks ago, they have some colors that look like the perfect contour, I have So Surprised, Jubilant and Tranquil on my list
Last but not least, I keep going back and forth on the gorgeous Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette (25), I’m still undecided about buying it because I have 5 of the colors, it’s been calling my name for weeks though
To recap, VIB Rouge Members receive 20% off all orders from November 6 to 9 with code ROUGE20 online at Sephora.com. If you’re a VIB Member you will be able to use code VIB20 from November 13 to 16 for 20% off. If you plan on shopping in store check your mail or e-mail for the coupon/bar code attached to your account.
Do you have anything on your wishlist? Or any recommendations of what I should check out? I’d love to hear what you’ve had your eye on!
