Sephora’s Fragrance for All: In Search of The Perfect Fruity Floral

Christine — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:01:20 +0000

In the early years of 15 Minute Beauty I regularly wrote about fragrances. I loved learning about the notes, seeing which combinations were my favorite and how the scents changed as I wore them throughout the day. I learned that I’m not a fan of pink pepper or more “powdery” fragrances, and that fruity notes such as blackberry in combination with white florals were my favorites. I found “it”, a beloved fragrance that I wore every day, and my interest waned so I haven’t written much about fragrances in years. However… my beloved fragrance was discontinued a few years ago. And my stash of bottles is dwindling down. Which means while I haven’t said much about it, I’ve been searching again. Trying out new scents, via samples, buying travel sizes and smelling scents in stores. I’ve liked 2 enough to buy a full sized version (more below), just in time to share for the Sephora Fragrance for All Event! What is the Fragrance for All Event? Until 12/24, full sized fragrances are 20% off in store and online for Beauty Insiders (if you’re not a member, this is the perfect time to join). You’ll only be able to take advantage…

Gifts for All: Gift Shopping at Sephora

Christine — Sun, 08 Dec 2024 21:56:43 +0000

No matter how well I think I’ve planned my Sephora Fall Savings Event cart, there are always items that I realized I forgot. My daughter is almost out of her favorite powder, I need to stock up on pre-teen gifts for my girls to give their friends (this lip balm and pretty much this entire brand are in my cart now), and of course I absolutely need to try what appears to be the most perfect pinky-nude shiny lip stain ever. Well, even though I’ve now created a decently sized Sephora cart, I’ve lucked out! Starting TODAY, Beauty Insiders can get a one time 20% off at Sephora. What you need to know: • You can use the code once, it is HAVEITALL • You may use your code in store or online, but you can still only use it once (so plan carefully) • If you’re using your code online, you can still use same day delivery or in store pick up options. It’s the best of both worlds! • You get 20% off most items, and 30% off Sephora Collection • Sephora’s Gifts for All ends on 12/15, so you need to act fast! • Beauty Insiders get…

Christine — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 19:04:32 +0000

Now that Cyber Monday is here, ULTA Beauty has somehow managed to make their Black Friday Event even better. The available offers have shifted a bit, and there are new brands included, deeper discounts on items you want, such as 50% off most Urban Decay eye products and a ton of amazing palettes from other brands. You’ll still earn points for the Ulta Beauty Rewards Program, and if you want your items the same day of purchase you can use either same day delivery or the purchase online and pick up in store option. Both options are a great way to avoid most of the crowds while shopping but still take advantage of the amazing discounts! For Cyber Monday, here are the best discounts that I’ll be taking advantage of: Eye Favorites You’ll find amazing discounts on cult favorite eye products! There are a ton of palettes that are 50% off, and the eye selections from some brands are 30-50% off. • MAC 30% off eye: My pick is definitely the Pro Longwear Paint Pot Cream Eyeshadow, which I use almost every day in Painterly as a primer. • Urban Decay 50% off eye: I’ll be grabbing both the Naked2…

Holiday Shopping with Bluemercury at The Holiday Shopping Party

Christine — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 12:38:43 +0000

Today I’m prepping a major buy from my favorite store for luxury beauty products! Bluemercury’s Holiday Shopping Party starts today, and you can save up to 30% on some of the most luxe brands and professional skincare items. Things to Know: • The more you spend, the more you’ll save! Get 20% off $200, 25% off $800, 30% off $1500 • There are some brands that are excluded or capped at 15-20% off. You’ll see products marked appropriately on the Bluemercury website. I’m only featuring products included in the up to 30% off here, but you should know I’ll still be stocking up on my current mascara obsession, Victoria Beckham Vast Lash, which is excluded from the Holiday Shopping Party. It’s a volumizing tubing mascara that doesn’t clump or smudge and washes off easily. I have 2 in my cart right now! Skincare • SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair: I’ve been using this eye cream for about 10 years, and it’s definitely the reason my outer eye is so smooth! I’ve tried using other products (mostly for blog product reviews), but within a few weeks of switching away I can see fine lines starting. So, I go back! One jar lasts…

ULTA Beauty’s Hello Holidays event is starting! Hello Holidays lasts only 4 days, but you’ll find up to 40% off of a big selection of ULTA Beauty’s best sellers! This is the perfect time to check out their exclusive limited-edition Holiday launches, which you won’t find anywhere else. Note, Hello Holidays is online only, not in store. But, you can still use the buy online & pick-up in store and same day delivery options! You can shop Hello Holidays and get your items right away. I love to breeze into the store, grab my purchases and head out to finish other errands. Make sure you’re signed in to your Ulta Beauty Rewards when shopping, you’ll earn a lot of points while shopping for others. Preteens/Teens This age group can be hard to shop for! Unless you have one of your own, you probably haven’t realized how they have their definite preferences for products and brands. Here’s a look at what my 10 and 13 year old would love to unwrap in their presents! • Cool blemish treatments: Yes, pimples are a fact of life. And my preteens are in awe of classics like the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Blemish Spot…
