Hi beauties!
In today's post, I'll be showing you these palettes that I got in the sales the last few weeks, as well as sharing my opinion on this mascara (SPOILER: it's awesome!). These products had a discount of at least 30%, so it was the perfect opportunity after Boxing Day. Let's just get started!
| BECCA | Aprés Ski Glow Face Palette
So first up is this DIVINE palette. I can't believe I hadn't tried any Becca products before! It's like I would see people using them in videos and seeing how gorgeous the highlighters were, but it's like the kinda product that is just constantly in you wish list and you never really get around to buying it. So when I saw that this was on sale, I knew that was it and I had to try it. Best decision ever, guys! Because I was looking for a nice highlighter that would absolutely wow me and not only did I find it, but I found THREE of them in the palette.
This beauty comes with 3 Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighters - one that's pearly white, one that's more pinky and one that's golden - two blushes (one Luminous Blush and one Mineral Blush), and one Sunlit Bronzer.
It retails for $92 but it's still on sale at Sephora! So you can get it for only $64. Link here
| NARS | Look Closer Eyeshadow Palette
This is a very compact palette that includes 4 shades and a mini eyeliner in black. It is the perfect size for travelling or for just chucking in your bag in order to always be prepared. It is ideal for a smokey brown look (aka the 'London look', think Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss, etc), but you can create many different looks with it, suitable for day and night. The shades are very buttery and pigmented, and I was quite impressed with it, especially considering how much I paid for it. Oh and of course, the eyeliner is perfect. Really black, creamy and once it sets, it doesn't go anywhere.
So this one was originally $70, which is pretty average for this kinda palette, BUT I paid $35, and you can too, because it's still on sale at Mecca. Link here
| NARS | Give In Take Eye & Cheek Palette
This palette is limited edition as well, and it's also part of their Dual Intensity collection, meaning that you can use the shadows both wet and dry. This also means that you can achieve a look as soft or as intense as you want.
Personally, I think that for what it was worth originally ($100), it's not the amazing quality I was expecting. It's got a lot of mixed reviews and I can see why. There's a lot of shades that work really well, but there's a couple that are not too pigmented at all. The blush and the highlighter included in it are gorgeous though, and very pigmented.
I still think it's a pretty good palette, because it comes with 6 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 1 bronzer and 1 highlighter, so I would still recommend it if you're looking for something to reach for on a daily basis.
As I said, it was originally $100, but it's still half price at Mecca. Link here
| TOO FACED | Better Than Sex Waterproof
Besides usually reaching for waterproof formulas, the packaging of this particular one was a big selling point. It's so cute and has these little water drops all over it.
In my case, I got the mini size, because I do it whenever I have the chance with mascaras. I feel like this way you can actually get a better opinion first, and then if you really like it, you can go back and get the full-size one.
I think this mascara gives me the prettiest lashes. It makes them really fluffy, with no clumps at all. Stays on really well, doesn't transfer (trust me, there are some waterproof ones that still transfer), and provides awesome length and volume. And you know what? The last time I used it, when I took it off at night, my lashes stayed curled for a while afterwards, even without it on, so its formula is really good at repelling water/humidity, because I'd never experienced that with any other mascaras before.
This one I didn't get on sale, but like I said, you can get the mini size or the big one. They are $17-$33. Link here
I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and hopefully you get some ideas of the stuff you can get on sale right now!
Thanks for reading me, xo
