The Lipstick League - week of 12.1.14

 

Lipstick League Question of the Week: 

 So let’s hear it. Did you make any Black Friday/Cyber Monday beauty purchases?
Spill the beans! 

G's answer: Just thinking about it gives me a pit in my stomach because this year I purchased more beauty products for myself than all other Black Friday/Cyber Mondays combined. I don't know if it was the incredible deals or the fact that I was constantly typing and retyping and adding to the round-up list for days and days, but something clicked and turned me into a wild animal this year. Here's the damage: Mystery Boxes from Zoya and Too Faced, Beauty Box from Target, some of the Sephora $10 Black Friday deals, two Urban Decay flash sale deals and an Ulta haul of Essence cosmetics because of coupons and free shipping. Oh and one of the Urban Decay Naked palette dupes from Crown Brush (I couldn't pass up the free shipping on HauteLook that day). *covers face in shame* But hey, I plan to review the Essence stuff and the Naked palette dupe and many of the things in the Target Beauty Box, so all is not lost, right? RIGHT?!? And my birthday is this Saturday, so I can also tell myself these are presents since no one in my family even attempts to surprise me with anything beauty-related anymore (they leave that part of my life up to me and I completely get that!). OK..I feel slightly better now.

  1. Happy birthday! I got a lot of great hauls this year, and it makes me want to attempt not to buy anything until I use it all up. Ulta, elf, Murad, Target and L'Occitane all had deals I couldn't pass up.

  2. I went into the sales telling myself I wouldn't buy anything unless the sale involved certain things on my wish list: Real Techniques brushes, byAlegory organizers, and stila smudge sticks. Wouldn't you know that two of those things went on sale during that week. I got both the brushes and the smudge sticks for basically buy one get one free. It was amazing!

  3. Your Black Friday/Cyber Monday was incredibly helpful in alerting me to all of the best beauty deals right when they started. I'm not sure if this was a good or bad thing...haha. I spent about $20 at each of the following, Ulta (Real Techniques brushes, cleansing creme), Too Faced (La Creme lipsticks), HSN (NYX soft matte lip cream set). I also got the $10 Target beauty box. I haven't received any of the items yet, probably due to delays in shipping with all of the orders, but I'm excited about all of the great deals!
