Let's see, where do I start?  I purchased a new Elemis Superfood cleanser during the recent Q sale.  I first used it as a sample and liked it for my second cleanse in the evening.  With my new Superfood Cleanser came a moisturizing primer.  I'm not a fan of primers, but I tried it.  OMG, it is WONDERFUL!  It makes foundation look stunning.  I'm even trying it with my least favorite ones.  

I also purchased a half price Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate palette and Fiber Brow Gel.  I can recommend both.  Also received the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, haven't tried that yet.  Will report next week!  

Also just received a Kiehl's Vitamin C eye serum.I was using a clean brand named Aurelia from the UK.  It's a very nice light eye serum and I can tell my dark circles are diminished and the lines have softened.  However, I now can't find it anywhere.  Wayne Goss recommended it and poof, it's gone!  The Kiehl's is a bit thicker than I would call a serum, but it does help keep  my undereye moisturized through the day.  We'll see if their claim that it reduces dark circles is true.

I keep putting things in my Sephora cart for the sale that starts tomorrow.  I'm not rouge, however, so by the time I can get anything, my cart is usually over half sold out, I get disappointed and don't buy anything.  I will probably sit this one out as there's nothing I really NEED.

Not necessarily a beauty product but I have lost 25 pounds since late November and my spring and summer clothes do not fit so I brought a few new things- not too much as I plan to continue losing weight.

@Sammijo10 - would you mind telling us which primer sample you received.  Glad you like the cleanser.  It is still on my list

New for me is Goddess Strength S & C from Carol's Daughter. I already love the Sacred Tiara. With 1 use, this is a winner, too!

Also, a Bobbi eye shadow stick in heather that I want more for eye liner.

And then I couldn't pass up the duo Bye Bye Pores.

@JudyL , the sample primer is called "Superfood Glow Priming Moisturizer'.  Use only a little as it IS glowy. 

I've had so much trouble with foundations lately. (I need a little bit of coverage for redness/capillaries) Nothing seems to work - no brand I've tried (and I've accumulated quite a few) have worked the way they're advertised or the way I like.  I tried a couple of primers that didn't work, I've over moisturized and under moisturized.  I've exfoliated too little and too much.  No luck.  I have about four nearly full foundations to give away.  Well, this primer works wonderfully! I've tried it with my more matte foundations and it makes them quite livable.  

Only use a very little or you look like a grease ball.  (LOL) But a pea size amount covers the whole face and foundation looks great!
