Sephora Friends & Family 2013

[MissTT]

Miss TT I have a question for you. If I was matched to wear MUFE Pro Finish Powder color #170, which shade would in wear in the MUFE Duo Matte?

My guess is somewhere around 207, but maybe I can swatch tonight to see. Do you wear any other foundations sold at Sephora?

Did anyone who was having trouble with the pigment of ONS give it a few more tries? I have only touched it once and I'm still debating if I want to bring it back or not. I really want them to work SOOO bad. Ha. Wondering if this is similar to riri HK in that the blush needs to be 'stabbed' haha a couple times with a brush before it's pigment becomes more visible. I wonder if there is a coating over the blushes that just needs to be wore off.

 

[MissTT]

I'm always too scared to beat up my products like that. I don't know why lol. They're still returnable. I guess I'm always thinking there's someone who might like to buy it from me and they don't want to muck up the product for them.

This time I'm going to get some things that will really be useful. I'm going to get one or two MUFE brushes.

Never heard of this line! Is it good?

It's a line of glitters. She makes the most beautiful glitters ever!! I've purchased from them before at various trade shows. Their glitter adhesive is nice as well. They have glitter in 4 sizes and the sizes actually make a difference in the color of the glitter. If I get a chance later I will swatch the glitters I have from them and post it here. Also Jodi the owner of the company is very personable. Check out their website http://www.litcosmetics.com/index.html

Yes, I have the MUFE Pro Powder was bought as Sephora in 170. They matched me using the IQ program and my code was 2Y10 but it didn't give me a match for MUFE Duo Mat or Nars Sheer Glow.

I was late with my order but I got the Lash stash set, YSL touché éclat, Kat Von d lock it foundation finally, and was lucky enough to catch the Nars promiscuous set with the discount! I'm just a little salty because I keep having billing address issues and they end up charging me twice. I've updated my card info but for some reason it won't stick. So I ended up paying by phone and wasn't able to use my ebates that way :/ I'm sure I'll feel better when I get my box and the charge is fixed!

I'm thinking of getting the sephora pro airbrush #55 brush with the next sale but I need thoughts if any one already owns it!

They're so beautiful...

I am debating on the Too Faced holiday sets but I am not super impressed with the Boudoir Eyes or the 15th anniversary sets I have. Anyone have the Too Faced holiday sets from this year? Thoughts?

Syracuse in NARS and 207 or 209 in Duo Mat

Feels beautiful on the skin. People are always cooing about how soft it feels and it makes newbs realize that there is a difference in brush quality. I've only used it with powder. To me the bristles seem too flexible to use with liquid or creams. I prefer something a little more dense for that. How do you plan to use it?
Sephora really stepped up their brush game with the Pro collection and I highly recommend them.

Wow Tarte LipSurgence Collector’s Set $175

So, I was able to talk myself out of this set. $175 seems a bit expensive, considering a 5-piece LipSurgence collectors set from last year was $34. For a 15-piece set, it should cost no more than $102.

I picked up something I had not planned on at F&F this year: a PT job! I start next week and I am pretty excited. This is in addition to my "real" job (in the medical field) so I foresee some sleepless days ahead but I am still excited. Otherwise I got the Ambient compact and Ambient Powder in Etheral light, Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Iconic, the DL Wicked n/p set, Michael Jacobs Showstopper set, Clinique Take off the Day Balm, Purity Made Simple and the Anastasia Lavish palette. Love it all. The Lavis Palette was such an awesome deal and such a great palette. And the MJ set has all full size products (except the fragrance) in it.

 

[MissTT]

mac_aiken! Not to make you mad, but you're gonna wish you'd waited until next week to get some of those goodies. ;-)

 

[Lipstickjunkii]

Oooh so this is the thread I've been missing out on. Wanted to post my mini haul from the F&F sale and properly thank Richelle and MissTT and couldn't figure out where to do so. Aniways, thanks a million to MissTT and Richelle for hooking us up! You ladies are very much appreciated
I kept my haul kinda tiny:
NARS Cruella
NARS Funny Face
Illamasqua Kontrol
Benefit They're Real

That 20% sure came in handy. Thanks again ladies!

And since I'm not a VIB but a regular ol' BI, I'm anticipating 15% off for the following:
NARS Train Bleu and Dragon Girl lip pencils
Bite Beauty lip pencil in Quince
TBD, TBD

I'm trying to cut back on these beauty purchases a teeny bit and save more money so my hauls won't be big ones.

Congratulations Lady!!! Awesomeness. I sure need me one of those...either Sephora or Ulta (preferably Ulta cos thats where my money really goes). Woohoo for extra side income for even more beauty purchases!

I have all of them. The packaging is gorgeous, but the colors are so so. The only one i'm completely happy with is "a few of my favorite things" palette. Joy to the girls and be merry & be bright I would skip if I did it all over again. As far as all I want for christmas, I guess it would just depend if you don't have any of the items and like the products in the bag.

Thanks luv! Not only am I excited to be at Sephora but also with this particular store. They are "my" store and have always given me the best service and attention. I feel honored to join their crew. I was the first VIBR for the store and I got to help them unveil MJ when they got it. Shopping there is always fun and I think working there will be too.

 

[Lipstickjunkii]

Whoops forgot to add, I also want some of those Sephora rouge shine lipsticks.

Hmm I was looking to try it with liquids like mufe hd maybe (not so much creams) and if that doesn't work out I could use another powder brush I guess. I'm also eyeing the mufe 108!
