delighted Thanksgiving to my American friends! I hope you get stuffed full of turkey and pumpkin pie! Then rest up for Black Friday tomorrow!
So it seems like everyone but me will be going out Black Friday shopping this year. *pout* Alas, Black Friday in Canada is less of an event compared to the us anyway. Our Thanksgiving was 6 weeks ago, but we participate in this American Thanksgiving tradition, whereby we have a random day of special sales on a Friday at the end of November. It’s a regular work day for us; our stores don’t open as early, and our sales aren’t as insane as in the US.
But, I have seen a bigger push from merchants to promote Black Friday here in the past few years. The last 3 years I made an effort and went trying to find deals on Black Friday. In 2013, I actually took the day off and went shopping! Since I’m not participating in Black Friday (cosmetics-wise) this year, it got me thinking, did I even like the stuff I gotten on Black Fridays past? It’s not a good deal if I don’t even use the stuff. Katsotaan.
From Black Friday 2012:
Sephora deals (all were CAD $12 each):
Tocca tiny Rollerball Trio
I only liked 1 of the scents (Stella) out of the 3 in this set. I hardly ever wear them though – the roller balls on these are wonky and don’t dispense the perfume properly.
Buxom in the spotlight Set
I recently tried the lipstick and I think it’s turned, the smell is off. The mascara is long gone (it was meh).
Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye primer & shadow Set
I just opened the tube of this primer! I’ve had it before and I really liked it. The eyeshadow in Serenity is beautiful but I keep forgetting to use it.
The Body shop 50% off
I gotten a bunch of eye shadows in their old formula which I love (I have some back ups). I don’t like their current Colour Crush eye shadows – they’re not as pigmented or smooth as the old ones.
Sedona lace Vortex brush set with belt 50% off
I was so delighted to get my hands on this set – my much-loved part of this set isn’t even the brushes, it’s the tool belt – it’s very well created and helpful for storing brushes securely. The brushes I like a lot of from this kit are flat top Buffer FB07, universal Blender EB09, flat synthetic EB11, and in-depth Shader EB21. Interesting to note that the regular price at the time was $90 for the set, it’s now $110 – inflation heh?
From Black Friday 2013:
Sephora deals (CAD $12 each):
Philosophy Purity Made Simple
I used this up earlier this year. It was just ok, not my much-loved cleanser.
Buxom curtain call Set
I really love this lipstick and have been reaching for it a lot more lately – very easy to wear and feels comfortable on the lips.
In addition to the $12 deals, this particular Sephora I checked out had a table full of clearance items and I got these:
Kat Von D Ladybird true romance Eyeshadow palette $30 (reg $43)
I was so delighted to score this on discount – I believe this is now discontinued. This was my first all matte eye shadow palettes. tip to use this more!
Sephora IZAK brush set $17
I really take pleasure in the face brushes from this set but I hardly ever use them. I need to give the set to someone who will appreciate it more! The whole design is so cute though.
Face shop 40% off store-wide
This store was fairly new to me at the time so I stocked up sheet masks, a cleansing oil, and also tried some of their blushes and eye shadows. I like the sheet masks – they’re an inexpensive option (~$2 each). The makeup was just ok – not my much-loved and likely I won’t repurchase. I haven’t tried the cleansing oil yet.
Coastal Scents 50% off site-wide
Got a whole whack of brushes – CS had revamped their brushes and I was curious about them – but they SUCK (pokey and poorly made compared to their old line). I gotten their bright Eye under eye corrector (a peachy shade) which is quite good. I also got a few of their hot Pots eye shadows which were hit and miss but overall I’m delighted that I only paid 99¢ each. I think this was the last buy I’ve made from CS.
bdellium tools Mineral 10 PC set $49 (devucosmetics.com 20% off)
I’ve been wanting to get a good quality brush set with short handles for travelling. These brushes are such high quality for the price! My much-loved brushes from this kit is #776S Blending, #765S small Angle Shader, and #945S Contour. I love the travel roll too. One of my much-loved Black Friday purchases ever.
From Black Friday 2014:
Sephora deals (CAD $12 each):
Tarte magical moments Deluxe best sellers essentials Set
Gave this to a friend.
Boscia Pore-Purifying Duo
Unused!
Bare Escentuals the INCREDIBLES dynamic Eye & Lip Duo
The eye shadows of this set is really great – I keep forgetting to use them though. I haven’t even opened the lip gloss.
Bliss amazing Foaming face Wash
Using this ideal now! I’ve had this cleanser before and I really like it for the mornings.
Sephora precision Makes best tiny Airbrush set (Kauneus Blender-tyyppiset sienet)
Nämä ovat todella melko hyviä sieniä – pieni, mutta pidän tekstuurista.
Ensiapu valittaa Fab Star Duo Duo (Ultra Repair Cream ja Face Cleanser)
Jäljellä ei ole käytetty!
Nest hajusteet Rollerball Trio
Rakastan tuoksua Dahlia ja viiniköynnöksiä tästä sarjasta. Aion saada täysi koko lopulta. En käytä muita lainkaan.
Bite Valitus rehevä hedelmä kiiltävä
Tein tarkastelun näistä jonkin aikaa takaisin. Olen tuskin koskaan käytä näitä. Olen todella vain yksi väreistä sarjasta. En pidä hajua. Luultavasti minun täytyy heittää nämä itse asiassa.
Inglot – 10% OFF
10% Off ei ole paljon, mutta Toronton Inglot Store oli avannut äskettäin ja olin innokas kokeilemaan paljon enemmän asioita linjalta (olin tarkistanut Inglot Chicagossa ja Montrealissa ennen), joten pääsin joitakin harjoja (hyvin Hyvä!) Ja muutama paljon enemmän silmävarjoni vapauden järjestelmäpaletit. Aion käyttää sisään Inglot-kokoelmani pian.
Olen varma, että unohdan joukon juttuja, jotka olen hankkinut black perjantai-tarjoukset. Kaiken kaikkiaan mielestäni olin kunnossa mustan perjantaina – ei ole paljon dudsia ja löysin jopa jalokiviä, kuten BDELLIUM-työkalut. Temptalia on listannut Sephora-sopimuksia 2015 – huoman, että sarjat ovat melko toistuvia vuosittain … ja Yhdysvaltain kanadalaiset, sarja on nyt 13 dollaria kukin $ 12 – Damn, että valuuttakurssi!
Ja wow, sain juuri tämän sähköpostiviestin Macista:
Kaikki heidän lomasi sarjat ovat 25%: n päässä noudan 26-30: n välillä! (Plus ilmainen toimitus 65 dollaria) Tämä on todella ennennäkemätön, en muistamme Mac koskaan käyttämällä alennusta lomakokoelmastaan. Luulen, että Mac yrittää kilpailla Sephora. Hyvä asia, mitä en ole kiinnostunut millään tavoin tämän vuoden tarjouksiin! Mutta se on suuri saada lahjoja.
Mitä olet mennyt aikaisemmin mustalla perjantaina? Oletko menossa ulos ostoksille pisteet meikkiä tänä vuonna?

Black Friday Haul 2016As is the tradition, every Black Friday, I try to reason with myself to not get too ecstatic about the deals because they’re normally not THAT great, but then it all goes out the door once I’m actually at the mall! Can you believe that I gotten all this in the…

Black Friday Haul 2017I succumbed to appeal deals on Black Friday, after all. I didn’t go into Black Friday with any plans (I had taken the day off work) and wasn’t particularly keen on any of the previewed deals shown online. I woke up incredibly early and arrived at the mall even before…
