[Lipstickdiva420]

I love my LM palette. I use it everyday.....waiting for my SmashBox palette now!!!

I have a feeling I will be using it a lot too once I break it in. I just took a look at the smashbox one and it's pretty too

. Too many good palettes this year.

Glad you got your hands on Venom! I really think you'll love it. Be sure to let me know what you think! I ended up caving and getting the UD lipstick in Naked after all, lol. I couldn't find my Lovelight this morning and considered it a sign that I needed another nude UD shade.

I'll be sure to let you know! My package gets here Monday and I can't wait. That was definitely a sign for you to get the lipstick! I could honestly get the whole UD line and be perfectly happy

Hmmm...what else to get

 

[honey on boost]

I missed out on the dior 500 perk anyone see it in stores? I was so rushed to place my order ok mobile this morning it didn't even ask me if I wanted to use my points.

My first order shipped! :happydance: I passed on the kat von d palette. I own one of hers and the colors are too buttery. They barely translate to the lid. And that's with a primer. But maybe I just got a bad batch? Cause I have one of those shadeshifter shades and its awesome! What did you get so far?

Hmmm...what else to get

I purchsed this morning: Purity cleanser 2pack beauty blender 1 deep pore 1 sensitive Clarisonic brush Murad mini trio MUFE 92 e/s Sephora matte blotting sheets Sephora together in pink brush set Boscia peppermint blotting sheets. I did get the tarte mascara 100 point perk. I've been wanting to try that for a while. I feel like I need some fun stuff. My list is all (facial) business. However I think it would not be nice to spend money that i need to purchase my Holiday gifts!!! I didnt even get any liquid or power foundation and that bite lip pencil is sounding pretty tempting. Also the LM palette sounds marvelous but I won't even look at it! Especially with naked 3 coming out?! Omg no way...I haven't been on much because I am supposed to be saving for my "future" lol story of my life

 

[MUAddict]

LMAO my clock rolled over to midnight and I was like "it's sale time!!!" And then I remembered it's midnight PST. Gonna go to bed and order when I wake up.

The saddest part is that all the items I want are in stock at my local Sephora but I want the ebates credit.

I've heard a lot about ebates. I need to look into that.

Welp, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette went back in stock for a hot minute, so I placed an order for it. My gift cards got replenished, so I used them for both orders.

Guerlain Crazy Pearls
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

waiting patiently for them to ship

I also want to get MUFE Mat+ Alabaster foundation, Dior Happy Cherry blush, Origins No Puffery roller and Lorac eye primer, but I'll wait til tomorrow when I get paid

I almost got sucked into the pretty of those crazy pearls, but reason returned. I find Guerlain pearls too sparkly for me. I'm sure they'll be great on your much younger skin though.

Hope you love the palette! I really like mine, and there's plenty of product in them.

Almost all Ambient Lighting powders are gone by now. One thing surprises me though; I got to my purchase history and the ambient lighting in diffuse light appears like “permanently out of stock”. I hope is a glitch because I know a lot of people like/want them.

My haul :cheer: I went to sephora this evening and picked up Nars holiday Guy Bourdin Coeur Battant Laura Mercier Artist's Palette Dior Addict Gloss Etoilee I loveeeee everything!!!!!! especially the LM palette and I love the packaging it remind me of a wallet.

I've heard good things about that LM palette. Wanted to buy the LORAC pro palette, but it's not in stock. might need to go in stores and give this a try.

 

[kalexis08]

the LM artist palette is sold out online :-(

My last F&F order arrived today!

I oohed over the LM palette that I bought for my daughter. The jury is still out about whether she'll actually get it, but I didn't swatch in case I do give it to her. Looks really nice and would be a great palette for a 19 year old who only wears neutral shades. She has green eyes and the purple tones would look great on her. So I need to stop lusting over it.

The Ambient Powder Brush (just ok - not really blown away), Diffused Light and Luminous Light. I don't think I'll buy a MSF again. Ever. Luminous Light is pure, clean, bright light on my cheekbone without glitter. It's hard to describe, but it's fabulous. Love it. I like Incandescent Light from the palette a lot too. I know some people don't think these have enough glow to be highlighters, but I definitely disagree.

Samples galore. I was disappointed that I had substitutes in my Tinsel Twinkle set - I really wanted to try the Marvelous Moxie l/g, but got the Lancome Gloss in Love trio instead. I also got Still CC cream (it's light aqua!) instead of the Smashbox I was hoping for. Oh well. I do like the Becca liquid highligter.

I got the Bumble and Bumble 500 point thickening products set. That will be great for travel. I love that line.

I had quite possibly the worst and best experience regarding sephora customer service tonight. For the last two weeks, I've tried to get my VIB account to accurately reflect my purchases. I've called four times, have been told three different things, to no avail. I should have been $60 from reaching VIB Rouge status but today it said that I was $280 away! I called in again, received extra points towards perks and a promise that the problem would be corrected within 2 weeks and I'd get a call from someone when it was fixed. This evening I met a friend at the same sephora that started the problem and the manager took care of it. I was so ticked off that they just said "you're VIB Rouge whether you should be or not." The manager kindly gave me a gift bag with some extra treats. I was happy...until the SA-cashier decided to take everything out of my gift bag during checkout. Never mind I repeatedly said the manager gave me the bag and she needed to follow up with her. I ended up going back to the store 30" later and the assistant manager gave me the "gifts" back plus some additional items. I appreciated their attempts to value my business but really am considering shopping more at Nordstroms. All that, and all I bought was Dior Amber Diamonds. Lol. I'll probably buy a lot more over the weekend. Especially if I keep reading what everyone else bought.

The LM palette is sold out online but they had two left in my store, so I reserved one. Still not sure about how I'll like it.

I don't have any Guerlain pearls or Hourglass powders so it was time to bite the bullet and I had the gift cards so why not lol. I'm excited for both and I love the idea of the Hourglass palette for traveling. I'm on a major Guerlain kick right now too, I have the crazy meteorites radiance powder arriving tomorrow from Saks and I picked up the Madame Rougit blush too. Sigh. Now to just stalk my Sephora account and email for ship notices!

 

[babygirlLAH]

my mini haul from my Jcpenney sephora: -sephora lip service for $25 -kvd roller ball for $3.99 - lip tar minis for $16.00 surprisingly I wasn't impressed with the tarte gift set, so I passed on it. thankfully I went to check it out in store. they also had the pro palette with eye liner and I think a mascara and an eye primer for $48? my order for LM and vice 2 palette is still pending! UGH! at least my pro palette shipped from beauty.com

Question: do gift cards and store credits count toward your year to date spending total on BI, VIB, and VIBR accounts?

When you buy a gift card it doesnt count. When you use a giftcard it counts. Idk about store credit though.
