As is the tradition, every Black Friday, I try to reason with myself to not get as well thrilled about the offers since they’re typically not THAT great, but then everything goes out the door when I’m really at the mall!
Can you believe that I purchased all this in the span of just one hour at the mall? have you ever seen those buying spree prizes where youngsters get to run with toys R us as well as get as numerous toys as possible within 5 minutes? I desire they had that for Sephora.
Sephora
This was the primary reason why I trekked over to the shopping center for 7am. I wished to be one of the very first ones to get my hands on the restricted quantity Black Friday sets. The reality is, I wasn’t even that thinking about any type of of the sets when I saw the marketing pictures on the internet however when I was surrounded by other people grabbing the sets, I got so caught up in the frenzy that I ended up with some sets too. And the even sillier thing is that when I got into the office as well as showed my coworkers my loot, I realized that I didn’t want a few of the sets – I ended up selling 4 sets to them! I offered them the Tarte sets (2x), the viewpoint set, as well as the MUFE palette. This is what I ended up keeping:
The Murad products were smaller than I expected, whereas the viewpoint ones were bigger than expected!
The Buxom set ($15) was one product that I was even remotely interested when I saw the offerings from Sephora this year. It was a fantastic value as well as I’m glad I grabbed one (I most likely ought to have grabbed 2, I bet my coworkers would have purchased it off me as well – I made no revenue on my re-selling, just so you know! ).
The MUFE combination is truly just eye candy, and the bright colours will never really utilized on my deal with (also, obviously the hot pink as well as bright purple are blushes). however hey, it was only C$29! (Value of $156 as well as originally priced at $52) My mantra is, it’s not what you spend, it’s what you save that matters! (funnily enough, it’s the total opposite to my SO’s mantra! )
Then, I saw some people publish on the internet that the Becca Blushed with Light blush trio combination was marked down at 50% so after work I went to one more Sephora place as well as was amazed to discover it there! I believed they’d be all gone by then particularly because it was after 5pm by that point.
This expense only $21.50. Or conversely, I saved $21.50 on this!!!
I likewise redeemed 500 points for this Algenist set:
I’ve never tried Algenist skincare before as well as it’s rather costly so these are great to test out.
Nordstrom
I chose to take a peek at what they had as well as the very first counter I ran into was Bobbi Brown, which had a table of different products marked at 30% off. I ended up with the deal with Touch Up Stick (#2 Sand) as well as the tinted Eye Brightener (#6 Porcelain Peach). They came out to C$25 each.
I likewise chosen up the EVE LOM Cleanser. It wasn’t on sale however because I was there anyway, I chosen it up.
Then, I wandered past the MAC counter as well as saw a 40% off screen – turns out it was full of recent restricted edition collections including products from the star trip collection. I was a bit miffed to see the trip the Light great Powder in extremely Illogical there for 40% off when I got it full cost (but granted, I utilized a gift card toward the purchase, however still!) I ended up with:
Trip the Light great Powder in Luna radiance ($23.10) as well as Pigment in Tan ($6)
Then, since I’d spent over $50 on charm products, I got a secret loot bag that was advertised to include 15 items. It really wasn’t as well shabby:
This was a hasty picture I took at work, just before I provided away about half of the products in the loot bag (my coworker is a perfume as well as hair care junkie so she got a lot of stuff). I likewise truly like the style of the loot bag itself!
I have to say, the SAs at Nordstrom are AMAZING. I can’t pinpoint precisely what it is however they just have a enjoyable method with the clients as well as I never feel pressured. Whatever they’re doing, it’s working on me! Side note: I got acknowledged by one more SA while I was cashing out (she hugged me, just like the other SA did ) – she now works at the Sulwhasoo counter as well as she offered me a few samples to try. Plus, I booked a small facial with her so I can discover much more about the brand!
MAC
The SA at Nordstrom recommended that the stand-alone MAC store brought much more 40% off products so I chose to investigate. I came away with much more stuff I truly did NOT need:
Gleamtones Powder from the vibe tribe collection $23.10
Nail polishes from the star trip collection: business (silver), Holladeck (gold), Skin of Evil (yellow eco-friendly glitter) at $9.90 each. Why did I purchase that yellow eco-friendly speckled nail polish?! I have no self control.
And speaking of no selfcontrol, I likewise did some damage in the type of an on the internet purchase from charm Bay. They were having incredible Black Friday deals and I handled to snag some fantastic products from Anna Sui, Illamasqua, Ellis Faas, deal with Atelier, Oskia… I will publish my haul when it shows up in the mail!
The Body Shop
TBS didn’t have fantastic Black Friday deals, however I had a discount coupon for 50% off any type of one product as well as I found this mask duo.
It has a value of $56 however was selling for $38. With the discount coupon it concerned $19 however since I have a “Love Your Body” membership, I got one more 10% off.
Contains the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying glow Mask as well as the British increased Fresh Plumping Mask.
So I got these 2 full sized masks for $17.10!
Non-beauty
And I did end up purchasing that glass bobble pendant from COS:
It was not on sale as well as I had no expectations that it would be, however I purchased it because I was in the mood to purchase stuff anyway!
Lastly, I bought a pair of running shoes from Puma, as well as a pair of yoga / lounge pants at Eddie Bauer.
Did you end up getting anything on Black Friday?
