Sightings at Sephora Ion

The Sephora store at Ion Orchard is in full holiday mode with gift sets and holiday palettes galore! There were still several pieces of Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume III (S$88) left after its launch yesterday. And if you purchase S$120 of Urban Decay products, including the BOS, you get a generous GWP ziplock bag with a mini 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil, deluxe samples of Primer Potion and All-Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, and a sheet sample of two Stardust eyeshadows. The Too Faced holiday kits and Sephora blockbuster palettes are also available now.

What's more tempting for me were the stacks and stacks of Soap & Glory holiday sets, especially the All Round Her Beautiful Big Bag (S$89) which contains the Righteous Butter Body Butter, Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel, the Scrub Of Your Life Body Buffing Scrub, Girligo Scented Body Moisturising Mist and Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath.

It looks like Tokidoki will be launching at Sephora soon too, with the Cromatico palettes retailing at S$45. That's quite a bit more than the US where it costs US$25 (about S$33).

There are also many bath, makeup and accessories sets by the Sephora brand.

On a different note, anyone else disappointed by the Christmas decorations along Orchard Road this year? It just seems so ordinary. My all-time favourite remains the year in which there was a canopy of white and blue lights that looked like a blanket of stars.
