LOL! Well get on it you! I want to hear what other lost treasures you discovered loool.
Nice! I want to get myself a nice luxury purchase for my 30th next year so may consider that if I end up in Europe. I'm supposed to going to Brazil for the Olympics though so we'll see lol.
Do my evening bags count?

I made an order last night pretty much solely to get the nars birthday gift, haha (my birthday was Dec 12). I grabbed the Dior Creme de Rose lipbalm, which I was probably gonna pick up anyway, so I may as well get something extra with it! Has anyone tried the lipbalm before?
I have it and I like it, but I just don't reach for it often. I love the fragrance, but I don't find it as moisturizing as my Jack Black lip balm or Orange Thyme tubes. Plus having to apply with my fingers makes it less likely that I'll use it.

Oh, I didn't have the money to make VIB Rouge this year. I was almost there, too, which made it more frustrating. But other things came up and I just couldn't. I think the only thing I'll really miss is the free shipping without spending a minimum amount. At least I hope that's all I'll miss!

Hi guys, good morning!
I see in the perks Sephora has the Korres primer, has anyone tried this before? I kinda want it :p
1/3 of the full size it seems like a good deal

I have the Korres Pomegranate Mattifying Primer and the smell is disgusting. I see people complained about the perfumey smell of the Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer, but to me that would be an improvement!
The mattifying primer did work pretty well though and it was a nicer substrate to work with than the Hourglass primer for me.

I don't know which one is the sample, but the quertecin oak one has a strong scent that I am not fan of!! The primer itself is nice but I can't stand the fragrance and I am not that picky about fragrance in makeup either!!

It's definitely a good size, and if your skin is normal/dry it's probably nice, but on my oily skin it didn't do a thing (it is 'nourishing', so i'm not sure what i expected). I really miss their vitamin E primer, it was amazing and I'm so sad it's been discontinued.

And yeah, it doesn't smell great either but also it's not horrible - sort of an old lady avon skincare smell, I guess? It dissipates pretty quickly.

Thanks for the info!
I do have normal/dry skin, so I was hoping it would help out :)

Yea a lot of the brand was phased out at sephora, I thought it was being discontinued :( like they did with Illamasqua :'(

About ten years ago, I had such a bad experience returning an item to sephora without a receipt and was so outraged when they tried to say I was committing some sort of fraud (although could not provide any proof whatsoever), that I went in there with literally every item I had ever purchased from sephora and it was about $3000+ Some with receipts and some without and demanded that they refund me for everything back on to my credit card or I would be notifying the news stations and paper about how they were treating me. The salesperson who had made these accusations quickly called the manager who in turn attempted to remedy the problem by claiming the employee was new (yeah, whatever) and how if I took everything back (as I dumped it all on their counter), that they would give me a free $300 gift card to spend in the store. I said no thank you, I don't wish to spend my money at a place that will make me feel like I stole something just because I misplaced my receipt. They pulled my record through email and saw I spent thousands in their store. Reluctantly after I wouldn't back down from wanting my money back for all previous purchases, they spent half an hour looking up UPC codes and prices and refunded all my makeup purchases back on to my credit card. Needless to say, I didn't shop there again for over 5 years. Anyone else out there go to the extreme of returning due to horrific customer service? Obviously with all the stuff I brought back, they realized I had been a loyal customer for years -- just not anymore.

That was quite an experience. So, do you shop at Sephora now?
