Okay so Ive been a total Sephora loyalist for years now, like I have the Rouge status and everything so Im used to just waiting for those 20% off sales to restock my usual Tatcha and Dior stuff. But honestly Im getting married this October and Ive decided to do my own makeup and make little luxury touch-up kits for my six bridesmaids. My logic was that I could just buy it all at once during a sale but my budget for the kits is about $800 total and with the prices now that barely covers a few things. 20% off just isnt enough anymore!

So I started looking at these other sites like FragranceNet or Strawberrynet but Im kinda spiraling because Im terrified of getting expired product or a fake. Like how do people know if the batch codes are legit on those discount sites? Ive used them for perfume before but putting stuff on my skin feels different. I was thinking about checking out some places like Saks Off 5th or maybe Rue La La but they never seem to have the specific shades I need for my girls.

• Looking for brands like Hourglass or Westman Atelier
• Need fast shipping to the US
• Must be authentic (obviously lol)

Is there like a hidden gem I dont know about that has actual current season stuff at a decent discount? I need to get this ordered in the next three weeks so it gets here in time for the trial run... just really wanna find a way to get the high end stuff without paying the full department store markup...
