Barney's Love Yourself event started on Wednesday 9th September and of course I hot footed it over there to pick up my purchases and bag of goodies... and then I was so frantically busy that its only now on Thursday evening that I've opened up my bag and had a good rummage around it. Madness I know!
There were a few bags a while ago that weren't too exciting for me but the last two years have seen more and more items stuffed into the Love Yourself bag and some exciting step up gifts from individual vendors. Plus this time, as last, saw the spend amount for the bag at $200.00 pre tax (down from $250.00).
The verdict?
A fabulous must have GWP!
I always use this event to stock up on some basics and indeed the items I bought aren't really that different from the last time. There's always a Chantecaille Just Skin in there and this year I also bought two Chantecaille lip glosses - a Brilliant Gloss in 'Modern' which is my go to MLBB gloss, and one that I highly recommend if you have never tried it, and a Luminous Lip Gloss in 'Framboise' which I discovered in a GlossyBox and added to my wish list.
I always stock up on some Kiehl's products for Mr C&C. There's almost always something from the Facial Fuel range, either the wash or moisturizer, very often a huge tub of Ultra Facial Cream and usually an eye cream of some sort - this time it's the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream.
Kiel's really outdid themselves with their step up gifts this year - 250ml of Grapefruit Body Cleanser and 250ml of Grapefruit Hand and Body Lotion.(There are different gifts depending on the amount that you spend).
Chantecaille had a 'Protect the Wolves' ecosack in place of their usual cosmetic bag along with deluxe samples of Rose de Mai Oil and Cream, a deluxe sample of their amazing Rose Eye Make Up Remover and a mini Faux Cils Mascara.
The Love Yourself Bag contained a whopping 30 samples most of which are deluxe along with two full sized items - Rituals Sakura Spring Foaming Shower Oil and Lipstick Queen Vesuvius Liquid Lips. (I received the shade 'Blush').
There are way too many samples to go into in detail but as usual there's a little bit of everything: seven make up samples, seven perfume samples, two for body, two for hair and twelve lovely skincare items.
The event runs until the end of Sunday (unless they run out of bags before then...) and if you can't make it to a Barneys store you can also shop online at www.barneys.com
Go on you know you want to!
