I would say get the one shade you really want v/s a set of “kind of ok” shades of anything, our collections are all likely big enough that it’s not really a value to overwhelm ourselves with more products we don’t just love, sets can distort our sense of value but unless you love every item in it, or have a gifting/sharing strategy for it, its just going to be something to declutter later (I say this as much for myself as anyone!)
I prefer the travel sizes in perfume, because I like to change scents every season. Plus 9 times out of 10 I end up liking a different scent, except for by the fireside. Nothing has topped that as my fall scent.
Your hair looks beautiful! I think with wanting a smaller makeup collection, maybe go with your favorite color of the Ilia lip product. I don’t think you can go wrong either way though! Thank you for the recommendations 😊
I got a free sample of the new CT Exagger-eyes (?) mascara and I hate how much I love it...... my holy grail has always been CG LashBlast, but I could go bougie after this..... !
That’s awesome to hear your feedback on the new CT Exagger-eyes mascara! Mascara has always been one of my favorite products to try and I have this one in my cart now and your feedback is great ☺️🧡 I’m definitely going to purchase! I hope your having a wonderful day 🥰
im so torn by the Patrick ta duos. part of me wants to try one. the other part of me says not worth the price. 😂😂. but the huda and the mini natasha definetly!❤
Swatch them. I was in Sephora and I swatched up my arm last night with all the shades. They are really pretty and very very soft, but I was kind of underwhelmed at the shade pairings and the longevity. Also, most of them are kind of like toppers rather than full shadows, and the mattes weren't great. If you swatch and you love something, get it, but overall, you're not really missing out by skipping. There are a TON of better shadows in Sephora. I personally prefer the Space Cowboy for this type of use. Or Too Faced has some gorgeous glittery singles.
Hi, said Taylor here! You should get Commodity Milk, it layers with everything. I brought Commodity Milk + Juice and layer them for a fruity/ cream combo 🍓🍦
I love the Kulfi champagne shadow! I have 3 PT duos, Icy Nudes, the Mario pallet, 2 Westman holiday sets, the Merit, set and the Saie blush set in my cart. Rouge status is comingbin handy this year. Im also gonna do a separate fragrance order after a visit to Sephora tomorrow. Im debating some of the Hudas, but im thinking Ill do a few fragrance samplers and wait for a Huda black friday sale to buy the scents.
I got the baby ND set and it is really cute lol the liner is very nice and long wearing the swatch on my hand took forever to come off. Added the body gloss oil to my cart! 😆
Sometimes I skip the sale but not this year 😅 I had to get the ND Roxa palette! I finally got the lawless gloss in cherry vanilla (I think in Maine I said I’d get this if we went to Sephora lol) plus the glossier balm set, milk gloss set, and the kaja lip oil. For fragrance I am set perfume wise but have no body/hair mists so I got the Phlur coconut skin & it was sold out at Sephora so I literally caved and got it from the patrick ta website. Shoutout to the Sam squad for giving me all the discount codes 🥹🥰
Hello! Not sure if you've mentioned this in the past, but you might love Jazz Club by Replica. Woodsy, smokey, whiskey-ish, warm delicious scent. It's unisex & lovely. One of my faves!
You know what would have been the ONLY thing that could have made the Patrick Ta $42 duos worth it? If you bought the component and then got to choose two shades in the pan to put in it. And maybe if he had some brights or a green or something - you could choose two very different colors. But you said what I was subconsciously thinking - the shades are too similar. Also - I want that stupid ND baby palette too, but it is THE. LAST. THING. I. NEED!!! LOL
My initial cart was $1500, but I got it down to $950, and that’s with moving all the fragrances to my wish list ( so I can make a separate fragrance order). It looks like I’m still going to end up spending over $1000. I guess my rouge status is safe for another year 🙃.
I don’t think you would regret the Natasha, Denona baby eyeshadow palette. I have all of them except for Baby Glam,and that’s only because it sold out before I could get it.
My favorite scents at Sephora are commodity milk and commodity gold! The expressive versions. I also really love smoky, woody, sexy, more masculine leaning fragrances! I wouldn’t call these masculine, but they’re definitely a deeper more unisex gourmande!
Oh Phlur Father Figure is my all time favorite and my husbands wears it too 😅- it’s such a unisex one. I combine it with Sol de Janeiro 62 - best combo ever! I always get compliments when I wear those two
Girl...I said I wasn't going to do it. I said only one palette, and I had decided on the Huda palette. But somehow I ended up with a message in my inbox thanking me for my order with 5 palettes...Roxa, Icy Nude, Ethereal Eyes 2, Pat McGrath, and Dior Celestial Purple (with the matching Plumping Lip Luminizer). Get me to a meeting.
I bought the Olehenriksen duo lip treatments and I am so happy I did. The orange one is more clear and the berry one is pigmented and I love to wear after my makeup look is done. If I’m honest I have three shades and they’re all different and after it wears off my lips feel so moisturized. They have moved up to my all time favorite lip balm and with aaalll the ones I own that is saying something. 😂. Enjoyed listening to your wish list items. ❤️ also I’m skipping the Patrick Ta duos. As beautiful as they are I can’t justify it as I own so many indie palettes, urban decay, and even Colourpop shadows that I can use without spending $42 for two shadows. Even with my 20% off I just can’t. I’d rather buy the YSL bronzer
Hi Sam ☺️💜 Your shop the Sephora video was so awesome and helpful!! This video is also a great and helpful!! I love trying new fragrances!!! I’m the same type of fragrance girlie! I love the Tom Ford black orchid, Tobacco vanille, By the fireplace by Replica and a few of the Kayali travel sprays. I tend to purchase travel sizes! They are big enough to give you the experience, great price points (for the most part) and so easy to travel with. Definitely love hearing the ones you mentioned! I added the ones you mentioned in my cart! My cart is sitting at $600 dollars and I have to make some decisions, I can’t spend that much money on the Sephora Sale!! I love Abbey Young and her content! I’ve learned so many tips and hacks from Abbey! Her latest “Hack video” is amazing!! I love the K18 serum! I have the dry shampoo and their detox clarifying shampoo are in my Sephora cart now. The new Fenty collaboration products look so amazing! There’s a lipgloss with shimmer in it and a highlighter that I have in my loves list! I have a lot of lip products in my cart. I love the Merit products that I have. There is a set with their Glow serum and their new primer moisturizer that I really want to get but I think it’s a in store only set and I tend to order online, but if I find one of the Sephora’s in my area I will go in and deal with madness lol! I’ve always loved trying new mascara’s! There’s so many sets that are amazing! I really want to try the Charlotte Tilbury new mascara! That’s in my cart as well! Out of all the new and older foundations I’ve been interested in I’m definitely purchasing the Huda Beauty easy blur foundation! I got a few samples in different shades and I love how it looks on me! After hearing Patrick Ta’s explanation of the eyeshadow duos I have a completely different opinion now. Talk to my team and We need better lighting are my personal favorite shades! It’s a very interesting formula, I have never heard of a slurry formula before, it’s 100% pearl with no base or matte inside of the formula and you get 7 grams which is significantly more than other special glitter, single shades. I still think they’re expansive and could purchase a eyeshadow palette for the price but I’m intrigued! I’m still undecided but heck yes I would love to see you review the eyeshadow duo! There’s so many different eyeshadow palette’s that are out that I’m very interested in! I thought the Laneige advent calendar looks so cool and has products that I’ve been wanting to try forever! I said the same thing in your last Sephora sets video same with the Kulfi set you shared in your video! Gosh, I wish I could tell you what to get and not get but I’m feeling the same way lol! I’m not a Rouge member anymore, I hope the products that I really want to purchase don’t immediately sell out! In my opinion, this is one of the best Sephora sales and Sephora sets different sets from brands that I’ve seen in a long time!! I’m excited! I haven’t purchased new products in a hot minute!!!
@ Aww 🥰 Sam you just made my entire week! Thank you so much for your kind comment!! I love you and all of your content so much! I have for so many years now!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think most people are pointing out other prices of single shadows like UD or those Two Faced singles because in comparison to those, the Patrick Ta duos are not insanely expensive. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m not saying they are “affordable” by any means but definitely not far off from what is already out there on the market.
I have LOVED Commodity Milk since it came out. It’s the perfect warm and sweet scent. It is a great mixer but also on its own. I have the bold version and got the big one using one of the Sephora favorite packs. I love pairing it with Replica By the Fireplace.
I love how you ask yourself if you absolutely have to have this product…let’s be real do we absolutely need new makeup or skincare? I’ll let you know when I decide and after I shop the sale! 😂😂
Samantha invite only is brutalll😬😳. Reminds me of a hard night dancing and drinking and you accidentally got whiskey shots in your hair. The Phlur set that has father figure,missing person and vanilla skin is suchhhhh a great purchase I think. Also Milk extra is a great scent and is in the Sephora Clean perfume set which has lots of great scents and then your given a voucher to get full bottle of perfume you like. Are you going to try the Sephora reveal the skin tint?? Your recommendation of the Sigma tint has been FANTASTIC but I'm always on the hunt for foundations 😂
I was interested in Huda’s new palette, but after watching Morgan Turner’s video, I think I’ll pass. The pinky, mauvey tones look similar to “Rose Quartz,” which I already have. I’m pretty content with my eyeshadow collection. As I type, I’m eyeing that mini baby palette from Natasha Denona. Lol 😂
I know I thought that too looking at the Patrick Ta duos, the shades are all too close together! They should be two very different shades in each individual one ya know? Do I need any more shimmery eyeshadows? Probably not.. sigh..
Id say skip the Patrick Taylor duos. Id just skip the sets and get a mini Westman atelier cream blush and a full size merit for the same price as the westman atelier set so you can try both and pick what shade you'd actually wear.
It's a better value to get two Ole Henriksen lip balms for $30, but.... giving one to your friend means that you paid $30 for one!! Unless you are going to split the cost, it makes sense..... otherwise, that math ain't mathin'!! 😂
I’d skip the kulfi set I actually bought it and returned it the eyeshadow is not like there normal cream shadows it’s pretty but too similar to ct for me. I thought it would be glittery like there other shades and it’s not at all - I was disappointed it’s pretty just not what I wanted
thanks for watching and easy access to my wishlist is here🎉

Sam: buying 4 eyeshadow products is bananas
Not me having 12 blushes in my cart right now… help!!! 😅
LOLLLL
Your hair looks so cute today😊
Oh thank you!
I would say get the one shade you really want v/s a set of “kind of ok” shades of anything, our collections are all likely big enough that it’s not really a value to overwhelm ourselves with more products we don’t just love, sets can distort our sense of value but unless you love every item in it, or have a gifting/sharing strategy for it, its just going to be something to declutter later (I say this as much for myself as anyone!)

Sam, we have many of the same products on our Sephora wishlists!! Such a fun video to watch, girly! Happy shopping to us❣️❣️
The baby Natasha palettes are worth it and so convenient for traveling
👀
I think you should skip the eyeshadow duos. They look nice , but way too expensive.
I feel that!
Your hair looks amazing!😍 I highly recommend Commodity Milk! It’s very long lasting too 💕
Your hair looks beautiful! I think with wanting a smaller makeup collection, maybe go with your favorite color of the Ilia lip product. I don’t think you can go wrong either way though! Thank you for the recommendations 😊

I know I feel like I need that candy cane lip mask too! I'm obsessed with egg nog and they have an egg nog one too!!
ohhhh!

I got the ROXA palette from Ulta and it came within three days of ordering it. Also, I love it! 😘
oh good!
I did that too and I used my Ulta points and got it for free
The merit set is sooooo good !!! Get it !!!! I got mine early lol 😂
My favorite scents at Sephora are commodity milk and commodity gold! The expressive versions. I also really love smoky, woody, sexy, more masculine leaning fragrances! I wouldn’t call these masculine, but they’re definitely a deeper more unisex gourmande!
ooh thank you!
My 5 sens fragrance turned too ambery- it isn’t very old, but it smells metallic. Dont love it anymore, but loved it at first
Darn you girl! I had only one cosmetic item in my basket for the sale. Now I have so many more!
lol oh no!
Oh Phlur Father Figure is my all time favorite and my husbands wears it too 😅- it’s such a unisex one. I combine it with Sol de Janeiro 62 - best combo ever! I always get compliments when I wear those two
ooh!

Good to know!
Yes! Layering with anything smokey/ warm reminds me of fancy French Toast brunch , heavenly 👏🏼✨
I do the same with K18 but after rinsing, I use their conditioner or Drunk Elephant's hair mask. Try it.
OOH
Invite Only is my fave Kayali
ooh!
Oh I really thought Invite Only would be for you, but maybe what you love is actually not the spices, but the sweet vanilla ;)
but now I'm dreaming about mood ring 🤣
Manny mua did a breakdown of them and Patrick explained them as well
nice!
I need the laniege peppermint lip mask...its so cute!❤ Btw your hair is darling...
right so cute! thank you!
I love how you ask yourself if you absolutely have to have this product…let’s be real do we absolutely need new makeup or skincare? I’ll let you know when I decide and after I shop the sale! 😂😂
7:14 😂😂 Sam, maybe your sense of SMELL - not TASTE- is changing! Too funny ❤️😘🇨🇦
🤣
I have 4 eyeshadow palettes in my cart 🙈 and On face palette

You put the body oil and mini ND eye shadow palette on my wishlist 😢lol😂

You gotta try Kilian ‘Princess’ perfume!
👀
I'm not done with my list yet. I'm afraid of the total!
👀
I know I thought that too looking at the Patrick Ta duos, the shades are all too close together! They should be two very different shades in each individual one ya know? Do I need any more shimmery eyeshadows? Probably not.. sigh..

Don't get the PT duos... let us not encourage this insanity

ah thanks for letting me know!
I just realized I'm VIB too. Does that mean I purchase too mchakeupto be the same level as an influence. Yikes!
👀
Girl, $42.00 for 2 eyeshadows.....you have money to burn, no you do have. You must be pulling in 15k a month
Omg
good morning!
