It's that time of the year when all beauty junkies connive and find great excuses to blow their hard-earned money on beauty products that will probably last their lifetime. Yes, I count myself to this crowd because this is the opportunity for me to re-stock on perennial favorites as well as cave in to buy products that had been on my radar for quite a while. I rounded up my recommendations which are all vegan and cruelty-free, majority of which I have already reviewed on the blog from months prior (or even years) with some must-try's on my wish list in case my husband or my mom or any of my friends are thinking of what to give me this coming holiday season, haha! Here are the codes:

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit 3: holiday limited edition featuring 3 brand new shades and 3 best sellers (reviewed here)
RMS Beauty Un-powder: lightweight and non-cakey setting powder for the under-eyes (I don't set my foundation/face because I prefer a dewy look)

Drunk Elephant TLC Sukari Babyfacial: clarifying mask with 25% AHA/ 2%BHA (reviewed here)

What I am planning to buy:
Axiology Natural Lip Crayon: I don't own anything from this brand so this is a wonderful introduction.
Hourglass Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting: I just want to glam up for the holiday season.
Ilia Eye Primer: I want to try something new because I have been using the same eye primer from Too Faced for so long.
Herbivore Jasmine Glowing Hydration Body Oil: I don't own anything from this brand yet.
Kopari Coconut Melt: I know this is a multi-tacker product but I plan to use it as makeup remover.
Pretty Vulgar Poisonous Pout Plumping Lipgloss: I don't own anything from this brand yet.
What about you? what are you planning to buy?
I'm stocking up on all things Drunk Elephant for sure!
ReplyDeleteLovely picks, Kath! I am still trying to figure out what I "need."
ReplyDeleteI bought a bunch of lip products from the sale so far... Thank for your recommendations since I like to try new things too and we have a long time to make purchases during this year's sale.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to avoid this sale!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the primer!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat round up of products!!! I will check a few of these out!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great recommendations. I know it's a stock up time so I bought another Too Faced e/s primer and another IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Serum.
ReplyDeleteDang you - I had forgotten about my coupon (sitting on the couch) until I saw this. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat compilation!
ReplyDeleteI'm buying...nothing! I don't need anything and I need to not buy for no reason.
ReplyDeleteCan't look, too many pretties!
ReplyDeleteOnce again pulling my #girlfail card here. I haven't walked into a Sephora in at least a year or longer.
ReplyDeleteI want that Drunk Elephant stuff so bad. For the most part, yeah, I'm likely not buying anything. I would like to try using something up instead!
ReplyDeleteLOVe the look of that primer x
ReplyDeleteThank you for the vegan roundup! You make it so easy to find great vegan products.
ReplyDeleteNice recommendations! I always hear great things about the KVD liner!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try that Kat Von D liner!!
ReplyDeleteI bought mainly Drunk Elephant. Pretty excited about it. I love Trooper. Maybe I'll pick one up next time.
