delighted Thanksgiving to my American friends! I hope you get stuffed full of turkey and pumpkin pie! Then rest up for Black Friday tomorrow!
So it seems like everyone but me will be going out Black Friday shopping this year. *pout* Alas, Black Friday in Canada is less of an event compared to the us anyway. Our Thanksgiving was 6 weeks ago, but we participate in this American Thanksgiving tradition, whereby we have a random day of special sales on a Friday at the end of November. It’s a regular work day for us; our stores don’t open as early, and our sales aren’t as insane as in the US.
But, I have seen a bigger push from merchants to promote Black Friday here in the past few years. The last 3 years I made an effort and went trying to find deals on Black Friday. In 2013, I actually took the day off and went shopping! Since I’m not participating in Black Friday (cosmetics-wise) this year, it got me thinking, did I even like the stuff I gotten on Black Fridays past? It’s not a good deal if I don’t even use the stuff. Mari kita lihat.
From Black Friday 2012:
Sephora deals (all were CAD $12 each):
Tocca tiny Rollerball Trio
I only liked 1 of the scents (Stella) out of the 3 in this set. I hardly ever wear them though – the roller balls on these are wonky and don’t dispense the perfume properly.
Buxom in the spotlight Set
I recently tried the lipstick and I think it’s turned, the smell is off. The mascara is long gone (it was meh).
Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye primer & shadow Set
I just opened the tube of this primer! I’ve had it before and I really liked it. The eyeshadow in Serenity is beautiful but I keep forgetting to use it.
The Body shop 50% off
I gotten a bunch of eye shadows in their old formula which I love (I have some back ups). I don’t like their current Colour Crush eye shadows – they’re not as pigmented or smooth as the old ones.
Sedona lace Vortex brush set with belt 50% off
I was so delighted to get my hands on this set – my much-loved part of this set isn’t even the brushes, it’s the tool belt – it’s very well created and helpful for storing brushes securely. The brushes I like a lot of from this kit are flat top Buffer FB07, universal Blender EB09, flat synthetic EB11, and in-depth Shader EB21. Interesting to note that the regular price at the time was $90 for the set, it’s now $110 – inflation heh?
From Black Friday 2013:
Sephora deals (CAD $12 each):
Philosophy Purity Made Simple
I used this up earlier this year. It was just ok, not my much-loved cleanser.
Buxom curtain call Set
I really love this lipstick and have been reaching for it a lot more lately – very easy to wear and feels comfortable on the lips.
In addition to the $12 deals, this particular Sephora I checked out had a table full of clearance items and I got these:
Kat Von D Ladybird true romance Eyeshadow palette $30 (reg $43)
I was so delighted to score this on discount – I believe this is now discontinued. This was my first all matte eye shadow palettes. tip to use this more!
Sephora IZAK brush set $17
I really take pleasure in the face brushes from this set but I hardly ever use them. I need to give the set to someone who will appreciate it more! The whole design is so cute though.
Face shop 40% off store-wide
This store was fairly new to me at the time so I stocked up sheet masks, a cleansing oil, and also tried some of their blushes and eye shadows. I like the sheet masks – they’re an inexpensive option (~$2 each). The makeup was just ok – not my much-loved and likely I won’t repurchase. I haven’t tried the cleansing oil yet.
Coastal Scents 50% off site-wide
Got a whole whack of brushes – CS had revamped their brushes and I was curious about them – but they SUCK (pokey and poorly made compared to their old line). I gotten their bright Eye under eye corrector (a peachy shade) which is quite good. I also got a few of their hot Pots eye shadows which were hit and miss but overall I’m delighted that I only paid 99¢ each. I think this was the last buy I’ve made from CS.
bdellium tools Mineral 10 PC set $49 (devucosmetics.com 20% off)
I’ve been wanting to get a good quality brush set with short handles for travelling. These brushes are such high quality for the price! My much-loved brushes from this kit is #776S Blending, #765S small Angle Shader, and #945S Contour. I love the travel roll too. One of my much-loved Black Friday purchases ever.
From Black Friday 2014:
Sephora deals (CAD $12 each):
Tarte magical moments Deluxe best sellers essentials Set
Gave this to a friend.
Boscia Pore-Purifying Duo
Unused!
Bare Escentuals the INCREDIBLES dynamic Eye & Lip Duo
The eye shadows of this set is really great – I keep forgetting to use them though. I haven’t even opened the lip gloss.
Bliss amazing Foaming face Wash
Using this ideal now! I’ve had this cleanser before and I really like it for the mornings.
Sephora precision Makes best tiny Airbrush set (Spons tipe kecantikan blender)
Ini sebenarnya adalah spons yang cukup bagus – kecil, tapi saya suka teksturnya.
Banding Pertolongan Pertama Fab Star Duo (Ultra Perbaikan Krim dan Pembersih Wajah)
Tetap tidak digunakan!
Wewangian Sarang Rollerball Trio
Saya suka aroma Dahlia & Vines dari set ini. Saya berencana untuk mendapatkan ukuran penuh pada akhirnya. Saya tidak memakai yang lain dari set sama sekali.
Gigitan Banding Lush Lip Gloss
Saya melakukan ulasan ini beberapa saat kembali. Saya hampir tidak pernah memakai ini. Saya benar-benar hanya menyukai 1 warna dari set. Dan saya tidak suka baunya. Saya mungkin harus melemparkan ini sebenarnya.
Inglot – Diskon 10%
10% off tidak banyak tetapi toko Inglot di Toronto telah dibuka baru-baru ini dan saya ingin mencoba lebih banyak hal dari garis (saya telah memeriksa Inglot di Chicago dan Montreal sebelumnya) jadi saya mendapatkan beberapa kuas (sangat Bagus!) Dan beberapa bayangan mata lebih banyak untuk palet sistem kebebasan saya. Saya akan mencurahkan entri ke koleksi Inglot saya segera.
Saya yakin saya lupa banyak hal yang saya peroleh dalam kegilaan Black Friday Deals. Secara keseluruhan, saya pikir saya melakukan OK dengan pembelian Black Friday – tidak banyak DUD dan saya bahkan menemukan beberapa permata, seperti alat bdellium. TEMPTALIA telah mendaftarkan penawaran Sephora untuk 2015 di sini – Saya memperhatikan bahwa set adalah tahun yang cukup berulang setelah tahun … dan, bagi kami Kanada, set sekarang $ 13 masing-masing bukan $ 12 – Sialan nilai tukar itu!
Dan wow, saya baru saja menerima email ini dari Mac:
Semua kit liburan mereka diskon 25% antara 26-30 November! (ditambah pengiriman gratis pada $ 65) Ini benar-benar belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, saya tidak ingat Mac menggunakan diskon untuk koleksi liburan mereka. Saya kira MAC mencoba bersaing dengan sephora. Untung saya tidak tertarik dengan cara apa pun dalam penawaran tahun ini! Tapi itu bagus untuk hadiah.
Apa yang Anda dapatkan di masa lalu pada Black Friday? Apakah Anda akan berbelanja untuk mencetak beberapa penawaran makeup tahun ini?
