Its on sephora! ompom:

I didn't realize it was a product/set! Oops! Thought it was a bonus or gift with purchase type item. Hehe.

Exposed is my FAVORITE Tarte blush! And I LOVE ALL my Tarte blushes! If I could only choose 1 it would be Exposed! So you got a good one! I'd also highly recommend Tipsy...

Adding tipsy to my list! How can my cart be full again!!

It's a sickening deal.  The blushes in the palette are practically full-sized (palette blushes are 0.158 oz, full size is 0.2 oz), and you get 4 blushes (5 if you count the bronzer) for less than the price of two individual blushes!  As I mentioned, these are my first blushes from this brand, so I can't personally speak to the quality, but I can speak to the math!  Like I said, sickening deal.  And if you use a discount on top of that, how was I supposed to resist???  :amused:

I so want that palette. Swapped out cart for the Nars one. it's on my list though definitely a good deal

Most of the things i wanted to order were out of stock =[ but as of now i have Illamasqua lipstick in Kontrol (which i am getting for sure), Anastasia Beverly Hills Lavish palette set, and LORAC Unzipped set ( i need to pick only one palette set but i cant make up my mind  ) i really wanted the Illamasqua blusher brush 1, illamasqua gleam cream in Aurora, and LORAC Pro Palette but they're all out of stock.

Ulta has the lorac pro set with an extra mascara for $3 cheaper. plus they are also having their 20% off sale too

My big brown box arrived today!  It feels like Christmas!  :stars: Here's what I got:  :yaay: And under all that is the HUGE Benefit Advent Calendar.  :rasta: Thanks again MissTT and Richelle!  :kiss:  

(Singing) it's beginning to look alot like Christmas Great haul!

I still have not bought a single thing. Not completely sure I will either hboy:

Is there anything you really wanted?

I have $552 in my cart... And I took out the Laura mercier artist eye palette. I think I need to break this haul into 2. One now, one with the VIB sale in November. =\ plus I am 100% getting the crimes of passion set when it releases. This is my current list.... Grrrrr darn u makeup MARC JACOBS BEAUTY The Showstopper 7-Piece Holiday Set Item # 1548395 $89.00 QTY x MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Lightshow Luminizing Powder Item # 1548387 Color 302 Close-Up $59.00 QTY x SHISEIDO Benefiance Youthful Eyes Anti-Wrinkle Set Item # 1566736 $55.00 QTY x URBAN DECAY Anarchy Face Case Item # 1550649 $44.00 QTY x NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette Item # 1561547 $65.00 QTY x JOSIE MARAN Model Citizen 100 percent Pure Argan Oil With Radiance Item # 1494251 $48.00 QTY x HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Palette Item # 1553544 $58.00 QTY x GLAMGLOW Cure Sexy Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask Item # 1474394 $69.00 QTY x HOURGLASS N° 28 Primer Serum Item # 1412592 Size 1 oz $65.00 QTY x Any help cutting down lol? I think I'm going to wait on the hourglass serum as it's not LE

That's s great list. I didn't even know about the MJ showstopper set. Thats a great deal too. I want!!

 

[MissTT]

The Tarte blush I have, Dazzled, is up there with NARS for me and my daughter. It lasts all day. I really want the Tarte palette, but with me getting the NARS palette it seems like blush overkill. Plus Dazzled (reminds me of MAC Small Vanity) is in the set. But ugh do I want to buy 2 for my daughter and me.

 

[califabulous]

Wow! That tarte haul has got my head spinning. That blush palette the liners the lipgloss pencils oh my! Has anyone tried the hourglass nude stylo lip colors? I think I might try one- maybe #6?

I have it and love it. I posted a pic in the Hourglass thread awhile back.

@PixieDancer I got a deluxe sample of Tarte's Exposed in a 500 point perk at Sephora and I agree, it is one of my favorite blushes I own. It is one of those no brainer blushes. When I first saw it I thought it looked muddy. I even swatched it on my hand and thought no way this would look good on me. But when I applied it on my cheeks, I was hooked.

@jennifae That is an amazing haul!! I have Give Me More Lip and Tarte Off the Cuff and I love them both. I can see that you are a huge Tarte fan.

I really want the Nars One Night Stand palette, but I just bought Off the Cuff. I have 5 individual Nars blushes and they are such great qualities. The only blush in that set that I have is Orgasm. I'm thinking of waiting for the VIB sale, but I'm afraid it will sell out by then.

 

[romi79_2008]

Any code still available? All I`m trying says they are used

Guilty! I do love Tarte, so I try to get a few of their holiday sets every year. I thought about skipping the Tarte OTC palette because I really wanted the Nars ONS palette, but one can never have too many blushes, right? LOL! Plus I don't have any full-size Nars blushes (yet). I just have the 3 blush palettes, and I really like them. I was worried the ONS palette would sell out quickly because the Danmari palette did, but it's still there. Hope it will be available for a while so you can get it in November.

I'm not sure if I should tentatively make a shopping cart, or if that will make me feel worse if my paycheck gets pushed back again. I'm looking at Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things, my Korres skincare stuff, a Marc Jacobs nail polish, the Hourglass Ambient Brush, and Hourglass Diffused.

It's too bad you didn't live in Canada or my city, I would give you the friends and family discount for Sephora so you didn't have to fret about the pay cheque.

 

[MakeupForMommy]

Ulta has the lorac pro set with an extra mascara for $3 cheaper. plus they are also having their 20% off sale too

Thanks for the info! that makes me feel a lot better. When is the Ulta sale btw? And is it available in stores or only online?

It started on the 20th in stores only. Not sure if it's still ongoing.

Thanks, you're very sweet! I was able to get one thing last week with the US code before I got the news this week that I wouldn't be paid next week like I expected, so I'm broke anyway. I'm just hoping that the sale for VIBs will still be going on during the second week of November.

 

[vaisforluvrs]

I swatched the palette on Monday and didn't like them

maybe the texture, colors or Idk.

I read a review somewhere that the quality is not as good as the regular full size blushes, so maybe they are manufactured differently.

I'm still on the fence about this one.

 

[careful2hands]

Why do I feel like I need to hurry up and buy stuff during this sale? I think b/c it seems like everyone is getting something new except me. The man said I could get a Dior gloss, but I forgot to grab it the other day at work. I'll pick it up tomorrow in Cigyne Noir if I remember. it will be my first Dior gloss. Are they sticky? Any thoughts?

I have that one and love it. It's not overly sticky and I think it has good color payoff.

 

[Darby]

So I received my ONS palette in the mail yesterday. And... I'm not THAT impressed. I don't have it with me so I couldn't say exactly which colors, but two of the colors looks very similar, probably orgasm and deep throat? Are those the two that were supposed to be similar? And the highlight I find pretty chalky. I was hoping for a similar texture as my Mary Lou. Idk. It's like I don't want to return it because those are staple blushes but when I swatched them they were not very pigmented and the texture was off. Maybe I need to break them in. Idk :/

 

[Darby]

I still have my OCC minis, PTR CC cream, and vice 2 coming in though, to look forward to!

You should contact your state's Department of Labor to see if delaying/changing payroll without adequate notice is legal. If you have a contract stating when you are to be paid it is definitely illegal/breach of contract.
