I’ve heard that the Sephora Friends and Family sale will start on October 18th and run through October 31st this year. So I am making my Sephora makeup shopping list now because last year, the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals at Sephora were not as good as the friends and family sale discount! I love going to their sale section and browsing the value makeup kits; that’s how Sephora gets most of my money, honestly lol How can I pass up $8 Stila? Or Tarte makeup for $9? I can’t, people, I can’t. In fact, the value kits will be the focus for this post in celebration of the imminent friends and family sale. First up:

The Tarte Clean Slate Deluxe Primer Trio is only $9 and it is calling my name. It includes the Clean Slate 360° Creaseless 12-Hr Smoothing Eye Primer, Clean Slate Poreless 12-Hr Perfecting Primer, and the Clean Slate Flawless 12-Hr Brightening Primer all in mini sizes. But who cares, great way to try all the products : ) And I love that they’re made without the stuff that’s supposed to be bad for our skin.

For $18 we also have the bareMinerals Spotlight On: Big & Bright Eyeliner kit.

I can’t remember ever trying bareMinerals, but I’m excited to try this kit. I like the pearly primer and I like that it includes a mascara, eyeliner and brush. It’s also cool that it’s a line formulated with more natural ingredients.

More Sephora makeup kits

This is the Smashbox Try It Kit; I know for a fact that that Photo Finish primer is the business. Can’t wait to pay only $19 bucks to try everything else as well.

I’m wayyy too excited about this $19 Too Faced Beauty Editor Darlings Set from Sephora. I’ve been wanting to try their Shadow Insurance primer, especially. It also includes a lip primer, face primer, lip gloss and mascara.

Gotta make a part II for all this shopping : )
