The Sephora VIB 15% sale is happening meow (it goes until August 27)!
Inquiring minds want to know… What’s on your wish list?
This time around, mine list includes a beauty bouquet of the usual suspects I hoard. For instance, I “need” another bottle of Kate Somerville Ani Bac, and another Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining Pen, a few hair things, and (of course) foundation, which is apparently my makeup Achilles’ heel.
- Everything Olaplex: Everyone I know raves about this brand, and I really want to try ALL THE THINGS, including the No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo ($28), the Hair Pefector No. 3 ($28), No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner ($28) and the new No. 7 Bonding Oil ($28).
- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer: Their iconic tinted moisturizer has new packaging and a new formula, and I reeeeeally want to try it. Back in the day, the O.G. one was one of my makeup bag staples… I wonder if the new version is just as good.
- Josie Maran Vibrancy Argan Oil Foundation Fluid: This medium-to-full coverage liquid foundation has been on my radar for a while, but I keep getting distracted by other things, ha ha!
- Shiseido MicroLiner Ink: I’m enamored with the super skinny tip of this twist-up liner, which is supposed to last a long time and be excellent for tightlining.
- Budget skin care products: SO MANY bare-bones, affordable skin care products have come out over the past few years, and Sephora stocks quite a few of them. I’m very curious about the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution by The Ordinary (only $7.20!) and The Inkey ListNiacinamide ($6.99).
How about you? What’s on your VIB wish list?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

I’m only buying replacements this year, and like a true beauty junkie I have so much makeup I won’t need anything this year.
If I was buying from the sale I would get the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, I’ve enjoyed it in the past, and I like a sheer coverage product, also I really am not loving my current foundations. I would also get a setting powder, but I’m not sure which one would suit my 42 year old face that is still combo, but not at oily as in the past.

August 21st, 2019 at 11:18 amOh, I have too much at home too! I bought 2 mascaras as I have no stockpile left and will likely need two before the November sale. I also bought Amika Haute Mess. I don’t need any more hair gels/treatments, but I don’t like to blow dry my hair on the weekends. This leaves my naturally wavy hair somewhat stylish without blow drying it. I found a bottle in TJ Maxx and thought it was worth repurchasing. Unfortunately, when they restyled the packaging, the made the bottle smaller!

August 21st, 2019 at 11:52 amI just got the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. It truly is amazing stuff. I think you’ll like it. It makes me feel like I’ve just come from the hairdresser.
But, I have to go back because I’m nearly out of so many things and I love getting a discount on beauty staples
I use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer every summer. I didn’t realize they were repackaging. I’m almost out. So that’s on my list.
I’ve got just a few pumps left of my Becca First Light Priming Filter Face Primer, which I use daily, so that’s on my list.
I’m also nearing the end of my bottle of Boscia white charcoal makeup setting spray, which I also use daily.
I would love a few new lip colors but I need those like I need a hole in the head. Hello retirement and college tuition!

August 21st, 2019 at 2:13 pmIt has been awhile since I responded to your blog. I have been pre-occupied with getting Zack ready for college. So hubby and I just returned from Upstate New York and dropped our young man off to Ithaca, had a few days vacation and walked in our door about an hour ago. My tears haven’t stopped because I realized that the hug I gave him this morning is the last one for the next 3 1/2 months. I am happy for him that he is in the right place, but I do miss him already. I guess I will have to stock up on waterproof mascara. Welcome to “Empty Nesting”! Give Connor an extra hug for Auntie Jane!

August 22nd, 2019 at 5:49 amI feel you, Jane. So many of my friends are in the same boat and it will only be 2 more years for me. One of my besties went to Ithaca and really enjoyed it. I hope your son will as well. You’re not alone – I think all parents are blubbering messes when their kids leave. Hopefully the next 3.5 months will fly by. Hang in there! <3

August 21st, 2019 at 3:05 pmMy definite is the new Anastasia Beverly Hills x Jackie Aina palette. I’m on the fence about a few INC items and a Omorovicza toner. I’ve a few more days to think it through.

August 21st, 2019 at 3:46 pmI’ve been a little ‘meh’ about my eye makeup lately, so I’m trying two new-to-me palettes, one from Dior and one from Marc Jacobs.
I got a couple of Inkey List products for Mom and some of their Niacinamide for our oldest. And I’ll probably go back for one of the sharpeners you’ve been recommending, so that I can throw my UD Grindhouse across the room and against the wall like I’ve always dreamed of doing. 😉

August 21st, 2019 at 3:49 pmI was set to pick up that Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer as soon as it was released! Glad it was in time for the sale. So far I like it- but it seems a bit more matte finish when blended. Can’t do the radiant version- it’s a little too glittery now. I will have to layer up with my Bobbi Brown radiance primer when I want more glow. Also on my wishlist: new Drunk Elephant products. I want to try everything they make, but it is so expensive, I tend to wait for sale. and Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt, Alterna Caviar Anti aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo. whew! say that 3 times fast. why are those names always so looooong? hahaha

August 21st, 2019 at 5:20 pmJust the ABH Jackie Aina palette
Kim says
August 22nd, 2019 at 5:56 amMine shipped yesterday. Mostly the usual suspects: Tarte BB Cream, Faux Cils, Anastasia BH perfect brow pencil and Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover (I’d normally get Bi-Facil but I have to feel like I’m saving somewhere – HAHA!). New to my list is Laneige Water Sleeping Mask full size and I also got a sample of the Lancome Cils Booster XL. We’ll see how that goes. You know I worry about my lashes and what might make them fall out! 🙂
Miki says
August 22nd, 2019 at 1:22 pmI got Becca Backlight Primer, TF Ethereal Setting Powder, and Ouai Rose Hair & Body Oil. Those have been on my radar for a bit and this summer sale was just the ticket 😁 There’s some great sales right now too though! Those were hard to resist!

August 24th, 2019 at 10:27 amHi Karen, just a heads up re the Shiseido MicroLiner Ink. When I bought mine the lady on the counter said it’s not safe to be used on the waterline. It’s not the easiest product to remove, it really does need a proper dedicated eye makeup remover, you’d probably end up with really sore eyes trying to remove it from your waterline. Olaplex 4, 5 and 6 are excellent products, I use all of them – you only need a tiny amount of no 6 as it’s very thick and rich. I’m waiting for no 7 to launch here in the UK and then I’ll be all over that too …. my poor bank account!!

August 27th, 2019 at 8:52 amI picked up the Urban Decay Stay Naked Foundation, Fenty Setting Powder in Cashew, CoverFX concealer, FRESH Lotus Night Cream, CoverFX blush highlight duo, and Vicktor & Rolf Flowebomb.
Last sale I stocked up on skincare but between boxycharm, ipsy bad and being a mom, I haven’t had time to get to it so I got a few things on my want list. Flowerbomb is my holly grail. Can never have enoguh.
