Black Friday 2013 has come and is on it's way out. This is the first year that I didn't have to work on Black Friday in a while so I decided to take advantage of having the day off and went out shopping at 12:00am.
I decided to go to the mall and stopped by
Sephora first.
Sephora usually has $10.00 deal sets that they offer on Black Friday and I wanted to check them out.
Clean Sweep set from
Ole Henriksen. This set included a 1.5 fl.oz. 'African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser' and a set of 10 'Truth to Go' facial wipes.
Next I got the 'Draw the Line' Eyeliner sampler. This set was $30.00 and has a retail value of $79.00. I am currently on a mission to find the perfect eyeliner. Included in this set were some eyeliners that I was going to purchase full sized and full priced to try out but seeing this set made that easier and cheaper for me. Some of the eyeliners in the set were full sized.
FULL SIZED
Eyeko 'Skinny Liquid Eyeliner' in Black.
FULL SIZED?
Sephora 'Long-Lasting 12 HR Wear Eye Liner' in Glitter Black.
0.01oz Double ended
Urban Decay '24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil' in Perversion (black) and Demolition (dark espresso brown).
0.01 fl. oz.
Stila 'Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner' in Intense Black.
FULL SIZED?
Stila 'Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner' in stingray (black).
I received this sample from
Yu Be of their Moisturizing Skin cream. I have a big bottle of this and I use it regularly as a hand cream. I was actually going to pick up a small size of this as I was going through the checkout line to put in my purse, but stopped at the $16.00 price tag.
Next I picked up some items from
Bath and Body Works. They were having their three wick candle sale (2 for $22) and their Wallflower two packs were $5.00 each as part of the Black Friday deals.
Cranberry Pear Bellini Wallflowers
Peach Bellini 3 Wick Candle
'Tis the Season 3 Wick Candle
Red Velvet Cupcake 3 Wick Candle

Bath and Body Works usually does a gift bag that you can purchase on black friday that contains some of their most popular products and scents in it for a discounted price with a minimum purchase. This years 2013 Holiday VIP Tote was $20.00 with a minimum $40.00 purchase.

FULL SIZED Eucalyptus Spearmint Body Wash and Foam Bath

That was it for the beauty items that I picked up this Black Friday. I think I found some really good deals and it wasn't too hectic shopping at 12:00am. The line at
Sephora was really short and I didn't have to wait long. The line at
Bath and Body Works was really long. It wove from the back of the store where the registers were to the entrance of the store. The line wasn't too bad to wait in and it moved along. There were a lot of
Bath and Body Works employees directing the line and they placed large red dots on the floor to help guide the line along. Normally the overly happy, giddy
BBW employees that are in every store are often a little too much for me. But I think that attitude helped
BBW with the often stressful BlackFriday shopping. The employees made everyone feel like we were in it together and would get out alive. I think this was a successful Black Friday Haul and I am happy with what I got.
