Being on CT only allow myself to buy staples. Cosmetics other than staples get to be bought using my gift certificates.
The first item was Clinique All Over Color in Almond I got it to replace my Clarins bronzer that had seen better days and spoiled.
Clinique had a GWP so I got a little bag of goodies with a l/s in Chianti (great red), an e/s trio with Confetti, Lucky Penny and the dark shade of the Rose Chocolate duo, a brush set, one sample each of All About Eyes and Dramatically Different Moisturizer, and a mascara sample.
With a gift certificate I had I got Dior n/p in Silver Purple. Love the shade.
I had originally decided I would use my gift certificates to purchase lemmings, but I have found myself using them more thoughtfully and looking around a lot before deciding what I will get
