Bite has changed the packaging of the Agave Lip Mask and now I wholeheartedly recommend it. I've got the old version and I feel like throwing it out and buying a new one. Seems like a waste though with more than 1/3 of the product left in the crappy old tube. Anyway, I apply the Agave Lip Mask every day after I wash my face. It seals in the moisture and stays on a really long time. When I wake up in the morning it is still on my lips. It made my MAC matte lipsticks so much more wearable during long shifts. It's a life changer for winter.
I use it at night before bed and it's still on my lips in the morning but that packaging drove me bonkers! I'm glad to hear that they have changed the packaging. I will actually get another one now.

No, usually the 10% off is for making VIB and the lipstick or whatever they're giving out is for Rouge...which honestly, you'd think be a little bit better for making Rouge, but yeah. If you haven't used your code for making VIB it's usually the same one floating around, V436CB. But the VIB sale will be coming up soon, and that's 20% off, it's usually first week or two of November.
ok cool. I remember one year they gave the $20 off coupon not a percentage. Maybe that's for BI or they changed it to % for everyone...?

The black besuty blender is 1000 times better than the pink imo!
Really? ok. Some reviews were bad but you have to also take user error into account. Thanks.

I use Nars creamy concealer in Amande for a more natural highlight and Ginger for a more pronounced highlight or when I highlight under powder. I can use Macao and New Orleans in Sheer Glow though.

Which BB foumdation are you getting? I want to try her foundations but get so overwhelmed with the color options.
Ok I will try out the shades you mentioned. An MUA friend suggested I look at Honey to color correct and then try caramel on top for highlighting. Not sure if that will work so I have some testing to do...

I have been wearing a BB sample of the the long wear in Warm Almond 6.5. It matches perfectly. I am in awe. First time I can say this with a foundation. The new powder-same shade-is even more awesome. HG powder. The liquid isn't as matte as I would like but for the match I'll just have to touch up/blot/powder more often. Oh well. It's really not that much more than usual as I am super oily.

I wear Macao b/c it's easy. If I'm in a rush I can slap on and go. I always blot but this formula is pretty good with oily skin. Evens out perfectly.

Just as another point of reference, I used Honey as a concealer before I moved on to LM Secret Camouflage (SC-2) and I'm NC25.

They did the dollar off coupon in December last year for all BIs. It was $15 off $50 for regular BIs and then $20 off $50 for VIBs and VIBRs. That was in addition to the VIB Sale with the 20% off in early November. I don't remember BIs benefiting from the November sale last year though.

Still planning my VIB purchases here since I have no F&F who work at Sephora. Does anyone have any strong opinions on the Marc Jacobs eye liners? I noticed there was a kit on the site with about 5 shades that seems like a good deal if they're any good. I don't have any of his liners so I thought this might be a good way to try a few without wasting money. It says that the liners in the kit are full size but based on the reviews I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Any recommendations?

I haven't seen the set in question but I bought the mini piece 7 skyliner set and I will definitely purchase them full size when I need to. They're unbelievably soft, smooth, pigmented and long wearing. I highly recommend them!

Thanks! That's the set I was looking at. I couldn't remember how many came in the set. How big are the liners compared to the full size?

Honestly, I'm not sure. The Sephora website says the minis are 0.01oz but the full size on the website also says 0.01oz. Doesn't make any sense to me?

Yeah I thought that was wrong too because the price of one (on the Canadian site) is 30$ and the seven pack is 56$. There's no way that they're regular size.

I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps it's just the packaging that's smaller? It doesn't make sense logically but I don't know what else it could be.

Elegant thank you so much for telling us about the 30% off for Algenist. :hug: I saved $50! Plus the free shipping and no tax! Such an amazing deal. I got the Repairing Oil and the Regenerative Anti-Aging set. For the price of the moisturizer alone it came with travel sizes of the cleanser and overnight cream. Can't wait to try everything! Now I can get my essentials and more for the sephora sale!

I'm a sucker for minis so I thought I'd post one of Sephora's current FB promos. It's for a Too Faced Naked Dolly mini with code 6MILLION:

hmmm I never thought about highlighting with Nars creamy concealer. I'm going to try it.

I have a sample size which is .37g . I checked Marc Jacob's website and the full size is .5g

Well that makes a lot more sense. I guess Sephora just can't update things properly, which as the partner of a webdev drives me mental, lol. I don't know why I didn't think to check their website. Probably because I know they're not available in the UK so I just thought "oh, Sephora" as usual, haha. So odd.

I hope I like it. Thanks for the tip about the sale!

Thats an awesome deal! Let me know how you like the products!

I just ordered the new Genius anti-aging eye cram & the toner. That 30% off was really really great.
