Happy November!

November is a month of no long weekends (in Canada), it's cold, it's soon to be the Holidays but not yet... Long story short, it's not the best month of the year... Except, it the month when Sephora holds its annual Holiday Sale!  Depending on your status, VIB or VIB Rouge (i.e. your degree of beauty/makeup addiction), you get a certain amount of discount during the sale off your entire purchase (in the past, it's 15% for VIB and 20% for VIB Rouge).  For VIB Rouge, it starts this coming Friday, November 6, 2015!!!

Every year I take this opportunity to stock up on my vanity staples, while also purchase a few things that I'd like to try.  It's also a great time to get the holiday gifts ready.  So let's go over my shopping list / wish list this year for things to restock, things to try, and things to gift... and don't be alarm it might be a bit long... lol

Things to restock...

GLAMGLOW Stay Sexy Clearing Set (CA $76 / US $69)
Every year I would get their "Gift Sexy" kit, which usually does not have the full size Supermud, which is my fave.  But this year, they have this Stay Sex Clearing Set that features both Supermud and Supermud Cleanser, both of which I use religiously, so this seems like the perfect set for me.


Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer (CA $60 / US $52)
I am currently 2/3 way into the Jumbo size.  It has been a staple in my routine for the past year and a half.  I can't see myself not using it, at least for the next year.  But I'm still debating if I should get the jumbo 2oz or just get the 1oz.


Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz (CA $27 / US $21)
My brow routine staples, which I always have a backup or two.  It has a tiny retractable tip for detail work.  It also has the best spoolie brush for brows, which is better than any other stand-alone spoolie brush I've tried, for brows anyway.  The best thing about it is probably the colour match for me (I use Ebony), until I find a better match, I'll always be restocking it.


Estée Lauder Little Black Primer (CA $27 / US $24)
This is a life changing mascara.  It separates my lashes, thickens and lengthens my lashes, and stays on all day (and also makes other mascaras stay put).  I don't know what it is but the formula is quite different than anything else I've tried on the market.  I do like to pair it with another mascara to achieve the most fluttery lashes.


Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara (CA $36 / US $28.50)
I haven't had this mascara for maybe a year, and I miss it.  It does a lot on its own, giving my lashes more volume and length.  But I'm very curious to see how well it works with the Little Black Primer.  Maybe it'll give me false lashes effect!
