Winter Sale Haul
The winter sale just started officially in France on 8 January, so we took a quick drive across the border to a mall nearby. At Sephora, there was quite a good selection of sale items from By Terry, MUFE, YSL and Guerlain.
I picked up By Terry Eclat de Rose Sheer Tinted Moisturizer No. 1 Light at just half price, plus Sheer Expert #1 Fair Beige and Gloss Terrybly Shine #5 Wine List, a lovely shimmery deep plum, both at 30% off. Sheer Expert has been on my to-buy list for several months while the Eclat de Rose Sheer Tinted Moisturizer is new to me. I just tried on Eclat de Rose and it's instant love as it looks so incredibly natural and imperceptible on my skin while giving it a more polished and even texture without the made-up look and more opaque coverage of Densiliss.
There were two YSL Pure Chromatics quads on sale, #12 (black/grey/silver) and #6. Naturally, I picked the more colorful #6. While searching for a dirty greyed mauve lipstick, I somehow ended up getting tempted by Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss #72 Controversy from the holiday collection, another deep berry shade to add to my collection. Then I came home and read on Wondegondigo that it applies patchily...sigh. Still, it's sooo pretty.
At L'Occitane, I broke my no-buy on shower gels and picked up several of their offerings for 40% off. Well, go big or go home, right? My husband's response was predictably "Oh. My. Gawd." There's someone who does not appreciate the textural difference between a wobbly shower jelly and a shimmery shower gel. Anyway, I think we are stocked up well till 2015 at least!
While hunting for my baby's Pelsano bath emulsion at a Swiss pharmacy, I spotted the Dior Bird of Paradise collection (Summer 2013) on clearance at half price. I stopped hauling Dior quints last year as I felt that the finishes did not really justify the high price tag. But at 50% off, I couldn't resist getting the Blue Lagoon and Peacock quints for CHF45 each. Dior rarely does teal combinations so I was happy to add these to my collection.
