[color=#222222]I’m not back yet, but missing BR, especially having spent pretty much [/color][color=#222222]all my holiday spending money at various Sephora mini counters. I mean today’s one was a 4 for 3 deal, and Huda eyeshadow palettes, among other goodies were there, so how could I not get....8 minis of assorted things (Huda included)?
I also finally got me some foundation that's a good match, from the Benefit counter, along with awesome Sephora primers.
I don’t get such indulgences in my home town, so I have to take advantage of this opportunity, yes?[/color]
[color=#222222]Also, I’m noticing a massive improvement in my pigmentation not flaring up with all the sun by using Mad Hippy Vitamin C serum under my sun cream (and using the Ordinary one by night). Usually it goes crazy no matter how much sunscreen I use. So that’s cool. Right, off to use my Becca GlamGlow mask. Hope everyone enjoyed the Vault![/color]

Enjoy your shopping and holidaying :)

I know what you mean, when I was in the States over Christmas I went on so many beauty shopping trips between Sephora, Macy's and Ulta.

I love makeup minis. Almost more than the fullsized especially mini lipsticks, but also the blushes, bronzers and highlighters and eyeshadows.

Minis are a great way to try a new product without the full sized price tag

i'm a sucker for minis as well, the Sephora and Mecca mini bars are heaven on earth. i throw mascara after 3 months so minis are best, and I travel so much I have minis of legit everything haha.

I hear you on the American shopping too! I came back from a week in Hawaii with two crammed full suitcases after heading over with about half of one. I'm still using up goodies I got in Sephora, Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, Long's Drugstore, Macy's, Urban Outfitters etc, and can't wait until it's warm enough to start wearing the clothes i got over there!

Something about seeing the product in a smaller size with a slightly lower price tag or more items to try makes me want it so badly. You'll have to post a pic of your haul on the photowall when you come back!

They currently have some little minis as complimentary samples depending on how much you spend you can get them at the checkout. I wouldn't buy more stuff just to get them, but if you have your eye on quite a few items do a larger in order to snap them up.

Sephora has a Halloween Frenzy app exclusive sale with 20% - 50% off selected items depending on how much you spend. It's running from the 30th of October to the 1st of November. I don't have the app or a working phone atm and so I can't see what's on sale from my laptop but if you do it's worth having a look at what's on sale incase there's anything on your wishlist in there.
