Sephora Friends & Family 2013

When did you become VIB? If it was recently you may have missed the cutoff for the day they pulled the data. Does that make sense?

Anyone who is VIB can use the Code VIBTOPIA, I believe. You could call customer service before the sale begins just to make sure you will qualify.

I think VIBTOPIA will work. Out of impatience, I tried it yesterday, and it said the promotion hadn't started yet

Now that MUFE HD powder...

Do you like it? I hate it. It's too small and messy.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. After I saw the ghostly pics of people using it, though, I figured I didn't want to risk that. I gave it to my daughter which is kind of mean considering she's part of the selfie generation.

@MissTT I have been a VIB since March of this year and have renewed twice Im about to become rouge.

I'd say if there's anything you want, to go for it. However, if you're not really feeling anything, you can always wait until the $20 gift cards come in during December

Which could theoretically be used to buy yet another of those Hourglass Ambient Powders (Canadian price $52). Just sayin.

That's probably where my $20 gift card will be headed- to Ambient Luminous Light

Oh they jackin' you around then! I hope you get your mailing. Even if it's for peace of mind. You may want to check your account to see if you've been opted out of mailings. They've stopped sending me emails since I started working there even though I didn't change my options. I never know what's going on now.

I haven't given this any thought at all, but Mood Light seems lonely.

Mood Light does look nice! I could easily end up with all of these.

I was offering an explanation as to why she would have missed the mailing. I'm sure she'll still be able to participate in the promotion.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. After I saw the ghostly pics of people using it, though, I figured I didn't want to risk that. I gave it to my daughter which is kind of mean considering she's part of the selfie generation.

Lol!

Nice haul. I need to use exhibit a more often.

Thanks I'm sure it's a gorgeous blush and I swatched the soulsunshine in store it's pretty too with a nice glow.

I love the MUFE HD powder. People make the mistake of throwing it on their face like it's baby powder. I did that and paid for it when I took pictures. You need to press it into your face. Press and roll with a brush or a powder puff. You will have no problems with it after that. It's a great setting powder.

I got my VIB sale card in the mail! I'm having the hardest time putting my list together - it's been a REALLY long few weeks so I want to treat myself, but I also need to save money for vacation and a cross-country move in 2014...it's good and bad that I have a week to figure it out!

Current cart:
Benefit Boi-ing 1 + 2 (definite - my favorite concealers EVER)
OCC Tarred lip tar (definite)
Clinique Bottom Lash mascara
Sephora Technicolor Tinsel lash curler
Tarte Thoughtful Treasures set

Not sure what will stay and what will go (or leap into my cart!) by the time I make my order. I need to do some stash investigation first!
Your whole post sounds familiar to me! October has been especially rough for me, and I have a small vacation in a few weeks and a move in January. I'm trying to keep myself at a certain limit while not going overboard, and it's very tough. Your cart sounds awesome though! I think I finally have mine where I want it:

Deborah Lippmann Wicked set
UD Vice 2
Dior Minuit Lipstick
UD Revolution Lipstick in Venom
Hourglass Ambient in Diffused
Dior Nailpolish in Minuit
L'Occtaine Hand Cream

It's very tempting to toss a brush or some Meteorites in there. If anyone wants to encourage/discourage anything in my cart, feel free.

Venom is HOT! Keep that in your cart for sure. I really like the Revolution formula. I got the Catfight 100 point perk that was offered a month or two ago and it's been a favorite.

I'm sorry October has been bad to you too - hugs! Only a few more days until a new month

If you need to save money, then just try to buy what you really need and limited editions which wont be here next year. Try thinking what you would really use, and what you would use only couple times and can basically wait to buy next year, instead of sitting on the shelf
L'Occtaine has nice holiday bundles, which save money in long run if you use their stuff often.
Deborah Lippmann Wicked set is actually more expensive then her normal polishes considering the size.

I just got my VIB discount in the mail. It's 20% off all purchases. Didn't know that. Also, there's one 20% off for a friend but I have to be present. Well, that's not happening so it's useless. Right now I have 2 MUFE brushes, 1 MUFE blush and the Anastasia shadow palette in my cart. I've read good things about that palette. I am hoping for something new and exciting to come out so I can add that, too. Hopefully it happens before this starts on the 7th.

I visualized a puff of smoky dust.

 

[shontay07108]

:lmao:  I visualized a puff of smoky dust.

:lol: That's what it looks like if you use it like any old other powder. That fluffy Mac powder brush ain't gonna cut it.

 

[MissTT]

I started pressing my NARS powder into my skin, but it's no fun. I love whirling a soft brush around my face.
