Palettes & Value Sets
Whether you're looking for gifts or palettes/value sets for yourself, I've listed some of my picks below. I don't own most of them nor am I going to buy them during the sale but I've seen many good reviews on them.

My Product Recommendations
I'm sure many of you just like myself have started making a list of things to buy during the sale.
Below are some of the products that I would recommend getting.
______________________
Face
Foundation:
- MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Invisible Cover Foundation - $49 CAD ($42 USD): This is my favorite concealer! It's very photo-friendly, so I like to use this when I will take a lot of pictures. It's so lightweight and has a dewy finish, which I love! I do have to set my T-zone with powder though because that's where I normally get oily. That's something to keep in mind if you have combination/oily skin.

Concealer/Highlighter:
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer - $35 CAD ($29 USD): It's so creamy and blends it easily. I mainly use this to hightlight. I haven't noticed it creasing on me but I do set it with powder.

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector™ Pressed Opal 0.28 oz - $46 CAD ($38 USD): I haven't used this highlighter but so many people rave about it, so I'm planning on getting during the sale. It does come in 4 other shades, so I'd suggest you swatch in-store.

Bronzer:
- Too Faced Bronzers Chocolate Soleil Bronzers - $38 CAD ($30 USD)
- Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
(pale to medium skin tones)
- Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer Chocolate 0.35 oz
- $38 CAD ($30 USD): I love this bronzer!! It's matte and looks natural! It's currently my favorite bronzer!


- Too Faced Bronzer Wardrobe - $28 CAD ($22 USD): If you'd like to try the bronzer out, then I'd recommend getting this sampler set including 4 deluxe-size bronzers and Teddy Bear Hair Flatbuki Brush.

Eyes
Eyeshadow:
- Urban Decay Palettes: I love Urban Decay palettes! Although I do get some fallout using some of their eyeshadows, I still love them because they last so long and they're quite pigmented.
- Naked Basics Palettes - $34 CAD ($29 USD): I have the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette and I use it a lot. It's great to create everyday look and you can easily carry it around. Great for travel! They recently launched their second one: Urban Decay Naked2 Basics.


- Naked Palettes - $64 CAD ($54 USD): I have Urban Decay Naked2
and I'd love to own all of them but they are pricey. I'd recommend getting the one with the shades that are more appealing to you.
Urban Decay Naked2
Urban Decay Naked3



- Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette
- $58 CAD ($49 USD): I love the shades in this palette! They're so beautiful and vibrant!

- MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadow - $24 CAD ($21 USD): I've heard nothing but good things on these eyeshadows! There are about 209 colors to choose from and if you usually get a discount if you create a custom palette of two or three eyeshadows. I'm not planning on buying these during the sale but I'd definitely try them in the future.

I love that they have palettes!
- MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Palette - $48 CAD ($42 USD): This first one has 8 shades (0.03 oz each).

- MAKE UP FOR EVER Studio Case - $68.50 CAD ($59.50 USD): This palette comes with 12 shades (0.024 oz each) and full size artist liner.

Eyeliner:
- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Trooper 0.02 oz
- $23 CAD ($18 USD)
: This liquid eyeliner is great to create thin lines! I love using this as a daytime liner!

Lips
Lip Balm & Treatment
- Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask 0.52 oz - $30 CAD ($26 USD): I love this stuff! It's so moisturizing! If you apply this on your dried lips, you will feel an instant relief! It's great for winter! A little goes goes a long way. I've been using it almost every night for the past few months and I still haven't finished the tube.

- Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask Champagne Champagne Pearl 0.52 oz - $30 CAD ($26 USD)
: This is relatively new. I read reviews and most people say the packaging is much better than the other one and there is a shimmer to it. I'll most likely try it out once I'm done with the other one.

Makeup tools/brushes
- Beautyblender - $26 CAD ($19.95 USD): I absolutely love my beautyblender! Click here to read my full review on it.



- I'd really recommend buying the solid cleanser with it. It does a great job and I find it leaves less stain. They currently have a set of beautyblender and solid cleanser for $26 CAD ($19.95 USD).

Skincare
Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System: I got this during Chic Week Sale and I do like it. My skin does feel more clean and I got fewer breakouts. Click here to read my first impression on it.



Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil: It's very moisturizing but sadly it broke me out. That's why I stopped using it on my face. However, if you don't have acne-prone skin then I'd recommend trying it especially if you have dry skin. I still love using it on my nails!

- Josie Maran Argan Skincare Ritual Set
- $26 CAD ($19.95 USD): If ever you'd like to try out Josie Maran skin care products, then I'd recommend trying this set. It comes with the argan oil, daily moisturizer (spf 47) and cleansing oil. I don't really like the cleanser but I like the moisturizer with sunscreen. I'm still not sure if it breaks me out though.
