Sephora Friends & Family 2013

Are you familiar with Sephora's fragrance sets? You get a bag, ton of perfume samples and a voucher for a full sized bottle. One of this years set has Prada Candy included for just $55. I'm considering hauling 2 because Marc Jacobs Honey is also included. Maybe 3 for Gucci Guilty lol. It's SUCH a great value!

Fragrance gift sets with free lotions, bags etc are also nice deals. This 55$ you redeem for 1oz bottles, so Marc Jacobs is 52$, Gucci 56$ and Prada 62$

Got all giddy when I got the email! Still not too sure what I want yet. Def want to get some korres body butter. Love that stuff!

That's my issue. I snagged everything I wanted during F& F.  In addition, I went to Sephora on yesterday to return the OCC lip tar package that leaked all over the place and ended up buying Bite Lip pencil in Pomegranate and Nars Blush in Dolce Vita. I'm so happy I went to Sephora to swatch a few items before I purchased them on Thursday because I would have been unhappy. I had Tarte blush Blissful (hated it in person) and The Guy Boudain Blush Palette (3 of the colors would never work on me, including Laguna) in my basket and have since deleted them. Also, the Bite Lip pencils are pretty amazing....Don't see many reviews about their products!

I love Dolce Vita! I've been wearing it everyday for two weeks straight!

WHAT WHAT W hAaT! If this is real, I'll have to die. Or get another job to support my palette obsession. Also, for those of you wondering about the LM Artist Palette, it is SO worth it. I have Naked 1 & 2 and the Lorac Unzipped, and I'd have to say the LM palette has the most pigmented and buttery shadows. Almost too pigmented for me to wear in the daytime (I'm a PPP). I'm building my list for the VIB sale right now. Does anybody have any thoughts on balm cleansers (Eve Lom or Ren No.1 Cleansing Balm) and also the Benefit Gimme Brow?

omg i need this! None of the first 2 nakeds intrigued me but this def does!

Does anyone have any lipstick or pencils they really love from Bite Beauty? I'm interested, but I'm not sure I want to get the mini set, as I would never wear that nude pencil.

I've been looking for this can find it on the site? I definitely want Candy its awesome! and if I can get some other samples awesome does anyone have a link for this set? My cart keeps constantly changing, but as of right now I have the LM palette, the give me more lip set, draw the line set and Korres advanced nourishing trio, all I'm missing is the fragrance set if I find the one with Prada Candy in it.

My fav Bite lipstick is Cava. It's almost a gray lavender beige.

You bet I do. My favorite lipstick from them is Cassis, which was my first Bite purchase ever. I was actually wandering Sephora, looking for a shade of lipstick that looked like this one I had seen in a magazine. (The caption on the picture claimed the lipstick was a Chanel one I forget the name of, but when I went and swatched it at counter, it didn't even look close to the color in the picture! So it became an epic search to find that shade.) I happened upon Bite Beauty in this search and have loved them ever since. I also have their lipsticks in Fig, Rose, and the Cuvee collection...which now that I think about it, I never finished trying. I need to get on that. Not enough days in the week for me to play with all my makeup!

ETA: Talking about Cassis made me think about ordering another one since I might end up using mine up this fall. When I went looking for it on Sephora just now, it wasn't there! I guess it was discontinued? I'll have to use the one I have more sparingly this season than I originally intended.

I also have several of their pencils. Syrah is my HG nude and if I ever hear they are discontinuing it, I will buy them by the truckload. I also have Bouquet, Pomegranate, Rhubarb, Tannin, Tart, and Violet. (Wow, it just hit me that I wrote those down in alphabetical order without meaning to. Weird.)

If you want any swatches, let me know!

You're welcome : ) I love it. It reminds me of the Gareth Pugh lipstick, but with more lavender.

Thank you! I love the swatches I've seen. Bite's bright colors are amazing

If it lets you sign up for an e-mail when it's back in stock, do that. I was going back through the OCC thread last year and the big sets went out of stock for a few hours and then came back. You might still get lucky!

Just checked my latest cart (I just keep adding things and haven't really looked at the full cart in a few days) and I officially have a problem with lip products! I have over $200 worth of products in my cart, all of which are lip products except for a mascara and two nail polishes.

Apparently the 80-something glosses I have and omg-why-even-bother-counting lipsticks I have are not enough! I might have to cut this down a bit. I think the only thing I'll add at this point is a Jack Black lip balm since I've read nothing but good things on these forums about it and I feel like I'm still searching for the perfect product to keep my lips soft. I have a lip scrub that I use at night and love, but I want something portable for during the day.

They just removed it from the site. I was looking at it last night and it was there for sure. There were 5 or 6 sets and now there are only 4. That stinks. http://reviews.sephora.com/8723/P376778/reviews.htm

I'm right there with you! I have way too many lipsticks so I'm really trying not to get any from the sale. Right now, I'm just trying to stock up on staples and not really get things that I don't need.

Mine is around the same, and I can't get it cut down any more. This will be my one big haul this year! Jack Black balms are amazing. They're my favorite balms along with MAC Tendertones. I also end up with Fresh samples all the time, and those are the best at making my lips instantly soft. I tried the one in Petal yesterday and I love it.
