Sephora Weekly Specials #1: 'Very Merry Minis'.

Do you know I don't really buy that many products from Sephora? But when I do I tend to wait until they have an interesting weekly special gift available.

One weekly special that I always take advantage is the Holiday Sample Bag. Sephora run this promotion every year around this time although it has a different name each year, this year it is called 'Very Merry Minis'. With a $25.00 online purchase you can choose one of four bags containing eight samples. This year the set I chose was called 'A Weekend Retreat'. Inside a small cosmetic bag were the following:

Lancome Bi Facil Eye Make Up Remover (50ml). This generous sample will last for some time. I have used this before, it is a two part cleanser that you shake together and it effortlessly removes all eye make up, including waterproof.

Fresh Soy Face Cleansing Milk (20ml). Although I have used Fresh Soy Face Cleanser many times I have never used this cleansing milk. I enjoy using the cleanser so look forward to trying this.

Sunday Riley Tidal (8g.). I adore Sunday Riley products and the inclusion of this brightening moisturiser was the main reason that I chose this bag! I've heard very good reviews of Tidal and can't wait to try it.

Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion (2ml.). How cute is this mini tube of primer? I have used this before and although it isn't my absolute favourite eye shadow base it does work well and I know that this tiny tube will last a long time as well as being handy for travel.

There are two mini lipsticks Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Creme (shade C211) which is a semi matte brickish berry tone and Sephora Rouge Shine (14, Love Spell), a sheer nude pink with a mauve-ish edge. I like these mini lipsticks as they are easy to throw in a handbag and I'm not going to be too mad if I misplace one!

 As you know I can never have too many perfume vials.
Bulgari Omnia is a Lotus based floral rounded out with creamy wood notes and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is a sweet powdery heady floral.

To receive this bag (or one of the three other selections) simply add the promo code VERYMERRYMINIS when you check out at sephora.com

And don't forget to add three standard samples to your order. (I chose Klorane Chamomile Hair Conditioner, Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer Primer and a sample of Givenchy Gentlemen Only EDT by for Mr C&C to try.)
