California Bronze Palette For Bare Minerals Spring 2015

With everyone coming out with contour kits right now I was a bit surprised to see a bronzer palette. Nice to see something different right now. Also, at only $35, its one of the most easy to swallow palettes price point out there right now! Already on sale at Sephora I have to say the price alone is making me think about trying this out!

I really am not sure!) these really catch my attention.  Already up on Sephoras website, I have to say, I am really digging the looks of this collection and look forward to getting my hands on some of these!

Sun Safety Kit 2014 From Sephora

Its that time of year again! The Sephora Sun Safety kit comes out and all beauty addicts go wild! The price is a very reasonable $32US and only $38 here in Canada. So its nice that we aren't quite being gauged like we normally do.

Now the nitty gritty of what comes in it:

The Products:

1. 0.06 oz Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta® Daily Glow Moisture 
2. 0.5 oz Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense® Lotion 
3. 0.14 oz Too Faced® Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer 
4. 0.3 oz Clarins UV Plus HP Multi-Purpose Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen 
5. 0.33 oz Murad® Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 PA++ 
6. 0.5 oz Tarte™ Brazilliance Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanner 
7. 0.23 oz Stila Stay All Day® 10-in-1 HD Bronzing Beauty Balm Broad-Spectrum SPF 30 
8. Dr. Dennis Gross™ Alpha Beta® Glow Pad 
9. 0.15 oz bareMinerals READY Touch Up Veil Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in Translucent 
10. 1.69 oz St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse 
11. 0.5 oz Origins A Perfect World™ SPF 25 Age-Defense Moisturizer 
12. 1 oz Supergoop! Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil Broad Spectrum SPF 50
13. 0.64 oz Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ For Face 
14. 0.5 oz Algenist Regenerative Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 20 
15. 0.08 oz Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 
16. 0.5 oz Ole Henriksen Protect the Truth SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum UV Protection
17. Travel bag 

And the biggest reason why I am debating getting it? $20 from the sale of each kit will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation! TALK ABOUT GUILT FREE SHOPPING!

 

Now do I NEED this? Of course not. But I did want to pick up the St Tropez mousse anyways to try on my face (I hear its AMAZING) and its $22.50 by itself (yes, its a full sized!), and there is enough sunblock in spf 50 (between Shiseido and Ole Henriksen to make up the rest of the value to me. Then I can do what I do with most of my samples to the rest - "here mom!!"

On sale now at sephora.com/sephora.ca for VIB's and thursday (tomorrow) for the rest of you guys! 

Are you guys getting this? Did you get it in years past? I want your opinions/feelings on the set! 

Ulta Black Friday Deals!

If I thought Sephora black Friday sales were underwhelming, then Ulta deals downright put me to sleep. There is NOTHING here that makes me want to jump up and run to the store. Or even roll over and turn my ipad on to be honest. 

Bare Minerals Kits - Up to $44 in value and they are on for $10

Benefit Lip Loto - $54 value for $18 (three full sized lipsticks, this is actually a good deal if it interests you)

Red Carpet Manicure Pro Starter Kit $79.99 regular priced, on for $49.99

OPI Cheers To The Holidays set - $7.50  for a $12.95 value.

Philosophy Sweet Fluffy Cupcake 3-1 regular $16.50 for $10

And the crappiest of all last but not least, ULTA Starry Lights Light-Up Blockbuster for $16.00 for a supposedly $200 value.

Are you guys excited by this? Am I the only one who thinks these sales are totally crappy and disappointing for a BLACK FRIDAY kind of sale?
