I'm planning on going there early with a friend. I'm looking forward to it. I really want that cosmetic bag! It's so cute and I just love the added red touch to it!

Products You Should Consider Buying

I've read great reviews about most of the following products and decided to try them out. Since there is a sale going on now, it's a great time to take advantage of it.

Here's a list of products that I have used and absolutely LOVE:

• Beautyblender: I absolutely LOVE this! It's a great tool and really useful! I mostly use it for concealer, contouring and highlighting but I have used it for foundation as well. I regret not purchasing 2 for price of $33 (about $7 more than for price of one).
  I would suggest anyone to get 2 and give other to a family member or friend to try. 
• beautyblender beautyblender(R) two beautyblenders

• Urban Decay Naked2: I got this instead of Naked3 because I liked the colors more. The eyeshadows are long lasting and so pigmented! I just love Urban Decay palettes. They have a couple of palettes:
• Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette 
• Urban Decay Naked Palette 
• Urban Decay Naked2
• Urban Decay Naked3

• Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner: I was looking for a good cream liner and I was browsing through Sephora's website and reading reviews to find a good cream-liner. I saw good reviews about Clinique's cream liner and decided to try it out. The moment I tried it on for the first time, I immediately fell in love! It goes on so smoothly and I like the brush that it comes on with it too. 
• CLINIQUE Brush-On Cream Liner True Black 0.17 oz

There is one item that I haven't used but heard great reviews. Honestly, I've checked Sephora's reviews and Youtube reviews and this is the product that I would say 99% of people loved: Clarisonic Mia2(TM) Skin Cleansing System Pink

Now it is definitely pricey (about $180) but many people have noticed improvements after several uses. Many reviewers mentioned that it may make you break out at first but it's important to keep going. 

This is definitely an item that I'm planning on getting! I'd be saving about $31 for the Mia2.  

They also have Mia ($139) & Aria ($225) but I decided to get Mia2.

• Clarisonic Mia(TM) Skin Cleansing System White
• Clarisonic Mia2(TM) Skin Cleansing System Pink 
• Clarisonic Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System White

You can read about some of the differences to help you choose which one to get: 

• Mia is a little bigger than Mia2, which is much easier to handle. Unlike Mia, Mia2 also has 2 different speeds and a buzzer to tell you when to move on to next part of your face.  

• Aria has 3 different speeds (Mia2 has 2), battery indicator light and USB charger.
