One of my Christmas traditions is buying myself a little something from the Space NK sale over the holidays. This year I made my traditional Boxing Day order and then I followed it up with another order at the tail end of the sale when there were a bundle of new things added that were 75% off. (Say What?!?)
Sale Purchases Part 1 were fairly restrained.
The treat part of it was a gift set by REN containing full sizes of their Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash and Body Lotion. Luxurious bath products always feel like a real indulgence but I can't justify spending almost $40 on a shower gel can you? $12.00 is still more than I would usually spend but it isn't an obscene amount to spend on a Christmas present to myself is it? (The set cost $24.00). I used to use REN products a lot and whilst they aren't on my radar so much these days I do still adore their older products such as these.
I had only recently bought a tube of Dr Dennis Gross Color Smart Cleanser & Mask and it is something that I am liking so when I saw it was reduced to $12.00 it made sense to grab one for my stash. Packed in a tube and able to be used as either a mask or a cleanser makes this the perfect product to add to my travel bag.
Finally, I needed a daytime eye cream. Somme Institute Eye is something that I have been considering buying for a while so it made sense to add one to my order. I like the sparse yet stylish and practical packaging of this cream which promises to hydrate, treat dark circles and reduce puffiness. I have only just started to use this but so far I like it.
Sale Purchases Part 2 were where it all went a bit manic!
I didn't need any of these items for immediate use but the fact that they were so deeply discounted made it seem silly not to take advantage and add them to my stash.
Firstly I made two purchases from Algenist.
For daytime, Regenerative Anti Aging Moisturiser SPF 20 and for night time use, Genius Ultimate Anti Aging Cream. I haven't tried out either of these but have been very impressed with all the Algenist products I have used in the past so I am pretty certain that I will enjoy these and I'll even overlook their labeling almost everything as 'anti aging'...
Darphin is a brand that I have been rediscovering lately and I am enamored with all of their products. Not only do they work they feel extremely indulgent.
Exquisage Cream and Serum are products that are normally out of my price range (but not when they are 75% off - Ha!). They promise to revitalise and reinvigorate skin leading to increased elasticity, firmness and luminosity. Whether they will I have yet to find out, but I do know they will make me feel super fancy and spoilt whenever I use them!
I have however used all of the Darphin Stimulskin Plus range before and can vouch that it does leave my skin looking and feeling amazing. It is another range that is super pricey that I normally wouldn't consider buying because of the cost so I felt justified in popping a reduced Divine Eye Cream into my shopping basket. I loved this eye cream when I used it previously, in fact I think that it may well be 'The One' for me as far as eye creams are concerned except for costing so much normally.
I am very happy with my sale purchases and am looking forward to using some exquisite products in the upcoming months!
