I’m here today to show your some goodies!! Some of these I ordered online on Black Friday. 
Are you ready? Ok, here we go!
Eve Pearl Cosmetics had a Black Pearl sale (get it?) where most items were 55% off and others 40%. I ordered Eve’s Pearl Loose Setting Powder ‘B’, which was 55% off. I paid $12.10, instead of regular $22. I’m going to use this powder to set my liquid foundation, I was told that it’s excellent for that. And….I received a gift! Eve Pearl sent me a Pearlicious Lip Gloss.
As you know I had received Sephora’s Beauty Insider $15 gift card a week ago, which I could use online or in one of their stores. Minimum purchase was $40. I looked on their website where I spotted Nars lip gloss / lip stain duos for $10. These normally retail for $36! I had actually heard about this deal on YouTube, but that was a few weeks ago and I didn’t expect them to still have them. But I looked and they did.
I decided to wait with my purchase until the weekend because I knew that we were going to the mall. So on Sunday I walked into Sephora, but unfortunately they didn’t have them anymore. The sales representative told me that Nars has recently changed their packaging and that’s the reason why they had the duos on sale. She advised me to grab them from the site while they were still up. That’s what I did, as you can see! One side holds a gloss and the other side is a stain.
I also ordered the DeSlick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray by Urban Decay, something that had been on my wish list for-ever. I’ve always found it a little expensive ($29), that’s why I never purchased it. I finally did! I’m going to use this spray on my face after applying my foundation. The mist absorbs excess sebum (oil) and controls surface shine leaving your makeup looking fresh and newly applied.
Good to know: Urban Decay Cosmetics has a Friends & Family Sale going on right now AND is offering free shipping on orders over $15 (use code: 1FFNF at checkout for 25% off). Just saying! 
With my purchase I received the Sephora Getaway Kit (free with any $25 purchase, use code: getaway at online checkout). The kit includes 10 free samples:
* Philosophy Hope in a Jar Daily Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 30
* Sephora Collection Colorful Mono Eyeshadow in Peach Beige 13
* MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in 36 Satin Fuchsia
* Smashbox Limitless Eye Liner in Onyx, Anastasia Clear Brow Gel
* Tarte MultiplEYE Effects Eye
* Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
* LORAC Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss in 3D, Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate
* Sephora Collection Advanced Lash Booster
I also received 3 samples (Sephora always does this). Yay, Sephora!
Last but not least: I got me some new cosmetic brushes! On Black Friday I also ordered Sigma’s Synthetic Face Kit, which arrived today. Sigma Beauty was offering free shipping, which saved me a few bucks! Fun fact: Sigma gives you a gift if you spent $30 or more. I received a free blending brush.
The Synthetic Face Kit consists of three awesome brushes and retails for $42. These brushes are perfect for applying (liquid) foundation and powder:
*F80 Flat Top Kabuki
*F84 Angled Top Kabuki
This is a lot, huh? I’m considering this (and the Body Shop products I purchased before) a Christmas gift to myself!
For reviews or swatches, just holla!
