I've been trying to be a little more frugal in January, shopping my stash and trying to use up products, as a result my January sales purchases have been rather minimal.
However I did make a small Sephora order and pick up a couple of discounted brushes from Space NK.
I have done such a stellar job at using up my stash of moisturizers that I did actually need to buy what I like to call a 'plain moisturizer' - one that I can use over serums to give my skin a boost of hydration or use at night over an oil to seal it in.
Sephora still have the Nude Radiant Day Moisturiser on sale ($36.00 down from $52.00). I bought one of these last year and liked it enough to repurchase. It is a good basic moisturizer, not really rich - it's more of a liquid than a cream - but I find it does a pretty decent job of hydrating my skin. It feels comfortable, doesn't make me break out and sits well under make up.
I chose two perfume vials, Prada Candy and Replica Lazy Sunday Morning along with a sachet of REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial as my standard samples.
For my Weekly Special Sample I picked Kate Somerville DermalQuench Liquid Lift with Retinol. This is a very generous 15ml sample that I am looking forward to trying out. (I'm currently using a retinol product twice a week and will crack this open when I have finished my ROC Retinol Correction Serum).
Space NK sales can be a bit hit or miss I find. They did have a few lovely candles on sale but I have plenty right now... what did catch my eye were their make up brushes. I was tempted when they were half price, when they were 75% off I caved in and ordered a couple. The Domed Smudge Brush was just $5.00 (from $22.00) and the Large Eye Make Up Brush was $6.00 (from $24.00). The handles on these are nicely weighted. The smudge brush is made of nylon and pony hair, the eye make up brush of nylon and goat hair and both are very soft. I'm really pleased with the quality of these brushes and kind of wish I had grabbed a few more...
Both sales are still running online. Why not take a look at sephora.com or us.spacenk.com for some deeply discounted beauty items?
