Sephora Friends & Family 2013

I also passed on the 500 Dior perk. It was cute but I was not 100% sold on the fragrance so I figured Id just save my points. But for those who are looking its sold out online but check the stores

Save $$! lol I'm bad too, I keep adding things to my cart, taking them out, adding back...
I actually received the mailed invitation(they send it to my previous address so it took awhile), so I may go to the store to check what they have hmmhmm

Tempted to place another order and get an Illamasqua lipstick, even though I need another lipstick like I need another hole in the head. But I love trying different brands. Maybe I'll wait for the $20 off coupon??

Is that through Sephora or Illamasqua, and when is that? Might be a good time for me to think about picking up ambient light.

I missed getting the clarins exfoliating cleanser with points. I am looking for a good exfoliating cleanser, and a once a week mask (combination skin). I do have sensitive skin which is an issue and makes me careful about buying things without trying them. What do you use for a face mask?

 

[Monsy]

I use LUSH face masks. I am not usually big on masks.

for exfoliator Clarins is really great if you have sensitive skin since it's very gentle.

It contains fragrance, orange oil and sodium laureth sulfate, which can be irritating to sensitive skin, it depends on what is your skin sensitive to.

 

[Copperhead]

Do ou find that the oil starts getting hot on your skin (when you emulsify with water)? I had purchased it before and that really freaked me out! I'm not sure if it's meant to do that or I had a reaction to it. The SA's at my store didn't know either.

I don't recall feeling that LC Balthazar. I've used it three times now and I don't think I got that reaction.

Finally hit up the Towson sephora and snagged the last LM artist's palette! I held it over the phone yesterday luckily. I also picked up my usual foundations MUFE HD and Duo mat. I wanted to snag a new BB cream (I've only tried UD naked) but it was packed tonight so I didn't bother. The tote bag had a sephora mascara sample, sephora eyeshadow mini in hollywood's calling No. 82? Which is super pretty! Skincare samples as well & at the door they passed out fragrance samples. Worth the trip I guess. Now awaiting my online order of some Hello kitty goodies, cologne for the Hubbs, and nars coeur battant blush. Side note: checked out the UD revolution lipsticks and I love the shade Rapture but the consistency is a bit sticky for me :/ something to get used to... Happy hauling ladies!

It definitely has fragrance to it but in terms of the exfoliating beads, they are kind of bigger and soft not grainy at all. I think you would be safe using it once a week. Depends on your skin sensitivity of course!

My order just shipped... what a random day and time!

Through Sephora. They tend the send out coupons for $20 off a $50 purchase around the first week of December. I would need someone else here to confirm if that's definitely happening again this year, but I don't think we have any reason to believe it's not happening.

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.

I did see it in my store on Thursday and Friday! Good luck!

 

[Monsy]

it's not really worth 500 points

Same here! I even called earlier today because I was afraid when I saw most things were oos.

I did see it in my store on Thursday and Friday! Good luck!

Ty! I'm going to go tomorrow.

Yep it did! She Wolf is $60 and it charged $54 with the code I realized I could have gotten the Kat Von D spellbinding palette with way more colors for the price (even cheaper) but I've been lusting after She Wolf for some time. Also I can travel with the Tom Ford easier lol plus with all the UD palettes and getting the LM palette with the f&f sale....but I am kind of lusting for kvd :eyelove:

Good to know! I'm going to make a second account under the finances name lol

Hmm, I may be sensitive to it then! Thanks for your input!

Thank you! Will keep an eye open for that then!

Does anyone know if the Sephora Lip Service Kit is only in stores? I was trying to look of it on line. Thanks.
