Has everyone received their sale cards/e-mails for the upcoming sale? I hit VIB Rouge last month and I have yet to get either one..
Nope and i ve been checking everyday since i heard ppl started receiving them, haha it kinda makes me mad that i spend over 1k and they somehow missed me!

I couldn't agree more. I've done two shopping trips last month with the sale going on. Maybe Sephora is telling me something.. LOL!

This thread has made me add so much stuff to my cart! Omgeeeeee Ok so the Laura Mercier palette is women of color friendly? (Meaning the colors are pigmented enough to show well on the skin and not fade/wash out)
It is beautiful. It is like an everyday palette. Very elegant. You will enjoy it. I like it more than my urban decay palettes and that is a statement because nothing can beat urban decay when it comes to shadows. This will sell out just like last years.

Hi, I’m new here. The VIB sale is coming and I really need all you help. I’m Mexican and I have and USA address so must of my makeup and skincare shopping is done online. I go for my stuff two or three times a year. So all my sephora shopping is done once a year during the F&F and VIB sale with all my Christmas gift, videogame and pet stuff. And in the middle of the year I go for things I shop from Asia or UK and send to the USA address (Because it can get loss if send to my actual address) and some general stuff (and more pet stuff!!!).
This year I have a big item in my card and having doubts about it.
hmm.gif
Is a GHD flat iron (the 185 dlls one) I have want one of this for at least 5 years but now I wonder if it’s worth the price tag. Anyone here have it? Is these sale my best time to get it or should I shop somewhere else? (I have never see a 20% of in GHD but maybe I haven’t look enough). I’m already VIB for the next year so I don’t need the purchase to keep my status. If it is cheaper somewhere else I would love to know. Also if someone things there is a better iron to get.
Thanks in advance

Edit: my hair is a 2b if that helps

PS: I have been reading you all for months, these is just the first time a write a post.

The Smashbox palette comes with a double ended brish and mascara for $49 and Laura Mercier is $48 for just the eyeshadows. So, obviously the Smashbox is giving me way more for my money but I like the colors in both. Cant decide.


This should be an easy decision, LOL.



I have the Laura Mercier palette on the way from Sephora right now. I was going to mention that Ulta has the Lorac Pro in a holiday set for $39 (usually $42) and you get a liquid eyeliner as a bonus.

You all got me looking at the Laura Mercier palette and the Smashbox palette. I have Naked 1, Naked 2, Lorac Pro palette, etc. Do I need the Laura Mercier and/or Smashbox palette(s)?

I have Naked 2 and Lorac Pro. I had my friend take a picture of her Pro next to the LM palette. I decided to get the LM palette because I have green eyes and love pink and purple eyeshadows. Laura Mercier Artist palette Holiday 2013 on the left, Lorac Pro on the right. (credit to @VeronikaJ)

The LM palette is a definite buy for anyone that like purples. I LOOOOOVE my palette from last year. Does anyone have the Smashbox palette to compare to either of the Naked palettes? Still trying to decide on Smashbox Master Class or Full Exposure.

So does it matter when you became VIB to qualify for the sale? I just got it like yesterday I don't know if I would be able to use the discount during the sale
no it doesn't matter whether ur a VIB or BI n etc or not. the code is basically open to the public unless u get a personal email throughout the year for sales n codes here n there!! for the holiday shoppin time tho its for everyone hence why they always say pass it on to a friend n etc.


to grab skincare sets is a great idea. i keep seein this glam glow facial rave so i got a sample of that today (the set is like $70)!! i also got stila vintage blk gold foil shadow n kat von d lip set (even though im sure it'll go on sale after the holidays

I ordered the LM palette for my green-eyed daughter for Christmas. But the more I look at it...the more I"m thinking I'd like it myself! I'd hoped it would here by now. Sephora sent my order to Borderfree last Wednesday, and I haven't had an update yet. Grr...it won't get here before the sale and I don't want to order a second if I don't love it myself.

The only reason I'm passing on the LM palette is because I'm more into shimmers than mattes right now. For someone who equally loves both, I'd say it's a must have.
