Sephora F&F OCT 2012! What's on your wish list???

[Autumn]

How many of you ladies have a Beautyblender? Do you like it? I keep saying I'd like to try it. I know there are a couple of dupes out there but which one comes closest to the real thing?

I just bought one few months ago. I couldn't believe I waited that long to buy a beauty blender. Couldn't justify the price for a piece of sponge. It is totally worth it! get it!

I've never tried a beautyblender. I've tried similar things and I just can't get into it. I can't use anything other than some kind of brush. It kinda freaks me out, but people swear by bb's, though.

I will be getting "Stella" by Stella McCartney I got the necklace with the solid perfume in it as a gift once but even when I put loads of it on I could hardly smell it :/ It is a bit pricey but I figured I really want it and 20% off would be the perfect time to get it! I might also splurge on some KVD, Benefit, and NARS hehe!

I love Stella. I find that it doesn't last as long as it should for the money, though. I think I'm just going to buy some MUFE stuff. I'll get some lip liners and a couple of brushes. I'm also curious about the super matte loose powder in apricot.

I did have the dupe from target, and liked it well enough, but I ended up getting the beauty blender at 20% from beauty.com and like it better than the target one.

 

[lsdptl]

I am thinking about getting the Lorac pro palette and another beauty blender. I am sure I will be adding more to my list!

 

[shades of blue]

My list so far is the OCC lip tar pro's picks set, Illamasqua rubber finish n/p, the Guerlain Dragon Meteorites if they have them up by then, YSL RPC Mat l/s, Hourglass mineral primer, MUFE Aqua Eyes e/l in Mat Black

You have good stuff on your list!

What is the discount? 20%? Last year I only bought the Laura Mercier Rose Rendevous Illuminator.

I LOVE my BB. I use stalk Amazon for them, I've bought them as cheap as $18 for two of them.

Yup. It's 20%. Pretty nice, but 30% would be better, no? Have you checked the site lately? Everyday you do a spin of a wheel to collect prizes. You have until the 31st to redeem. Sunday I got 10% off and today I got a mini Lancome mascara. I saved the codes to use later. I wish they still carried thebalm. That's such a good, underrated brand. I was so disappointed in that LM illuminator. It was so pretty, but didn't show on me at all.

 

[Copperhead]

I'm sure they will. They had the wheel thing last year as well (or maybe it was during the April F&F sale?)

Wow. That's a nice price. Thanks.

Really Shontay? You were disappointed in it? Once I decided to try patting it on with my finger and found it applied better than it did with any brush I tried. I did go to the site but didn't even pay attention to the wheel. I've got to do better. LOL! And yes, 30% would be better.

Yeah, I tried it all kinds of ways. My skintone is weird. Among the deeper skintones, I'm not dark, but I'm not light. I have olive undertones and that makes highlighters tricky. Sometimes they look ashy, but mostly, you can't see it at all. Granted highlighter shouldn't scream out to people, but it should..highlight at least. It's OK, though b/c I finally found great highlighters from thebalm and MUFE.

ok gals....so LM RoseR...i loved it when I bought it. But i don't reach for it much. I think it shows up but it is hard to pick up the product with any brush. either I get patchy application or hi-definition cheeks-a-shining when I do get it to apply to my face. of course I can make it work but It isn't what I thought. That's why im planing to go ahead and get nars albatross...which did seem ashy sort of..and so was dior amber diamond. Seriously im about to get mac soft and gentle and call it a day! But then...WoG/superb are coming back out..

 

[shontay07108]

I tried Albatross long ago. I don't remember my exact thoughts on it, but I do know I returned it. :lol: Hope it works for you, though. I like Mary-Loumanizer by thebalm, MUFE uplight and the shine compact powder.

 

[califabulous]

LOL I know i may end up returning it too...but I want to love albatross so badly! which uplight do you have? I am quickly becoming MUFE obsessed and I am patiently waiting for the boutique to open in San Francisco so i can collect a nice amount items along with a new favorite MA. Gotta have one or two of those at every store where I buy make up

i think i can check out thebalm at ulta... i'll have to check into that. thanks!

 

[shontay07108]

I have #22. It's like a neutral pink. I didn't want anything more along the lines of the typical bronze or whatever. I wanted it to pop. It takes SO little. I just tap the pump, not press. I add it to my foundation, but only on the cheeks and nose. I'm telling you, I went to town on this thing when I first bought it and I looked like a trophy. It's so pretty, but when used wrong, it's a tragedy. :lol:

 

[Mizani]

I just wanted to confirm that the 20% F&F discount can be used IN STORES too, correct?

 

[lsdptl]

Has anyone tried the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector? Thinking about adding this to my list.

 

[shontay07108]

I've tried Becca SSP. I tried it years ago when Sephora was carrying it the first time. It's gorgeous, but unfortunately, it broke me out badly. It made my skin burn and caused a breakout and all that bad stuff, but if there isn't an ingredient that irritates you, I say go for it.
