All Things Sephora

[Prettypackages]

My trip to Sephora today reminded again why I hate going there. Not only were they out of almost everything I wanted (they never have stock) & had the usual hazmat germ environment BUT...there was this early 30ish guy with a younger girl standing right in front of the MJ products which is where I wanted to look, so I politely say, I need to look there, pointing at the product behind him, so he moves but only slightly, still standing in front of everything. So I said, I need to see what is behind you. He moves & is talking REALLY loud about the SA that was doing his chic's makeup. I look at what I want...go to check out & the same 2 people end up behind me in line which is backed all the way up to the back wall of the store. He's RIGHT behind me & starts talking REALLY loud almost right into my ear. Then, while his chic is in line behind me, he goes over to the perfume area, pulls up his shirt & starts spraying stuff onto different parts of his abdomen, comes back over behind me & has his chic smell his abs/stomach with his shirt pulled up.

The perfume smells were incredibly overwhelming & nauseating. He kept standing right behind me talking really loud. It was like having a loud hyper 2 year old in line behind me. I think he was on a date trying to impress her lol.

Now I remember why I shop online

LOL going to Nordies during the middle of the day on the day of their trend show reminded me why I hate the mall as well. LMAO

I'm hoping the 100pt MJ liner perk comes back soon. I'm usually not interested in the point rewards.

I'm trying to wait till tomorrow to place my essentials refill order (powder and moisturizer). I notice I always order on a Sunday and wake up to a good promo code for minis on Monday lol this time I'm waiting!

Been on such a sephora kick lately. Just made it to VIB status after barely keeping up with my beauty insider status.....not sure if that's a good or bad thing

I know I'm probably supposed to post this somewhere else, but I just wanted to share with you ladies how I spent my afternoon (and since I originally bought all this makeup from Sephora, I thought maaaaaaybe this was okay):

I depotted the three main Urban Decay Naked palettes and one small, older Anastasia Beverly Hills palette into one large Z Palette. I've depotted blushes (like those Benefit Box o' Powder things and such) before, but this was the most I'd ever messed with in a single sitting.

And now... to redo my manicure.

Nice! I love depotting.

Just fyi, Giorgio Armani foundation sample with $25 purchase online with code armanisilk. I'm really bummed the sample comes in one color 5.5. I really liked when sephora gave us choices with colors for the ysl foundation sample awhile back.

​I got that Email too and didn't order to get it because of the color----5.5 doesn't quite fit all

LOVE IT!!!!!

I haven't depotted anything in a very long time.

Thanks! I was just getting fed up with all my products and the fact that I don't use as many of them as I'd like. Putting into palettes like this makes it easier for to see what I have, and then actually use the pretties.

Absolutely---I did that with my MAC e/s long ago and ended up with twelve 15-shadow palettes. Like you found, they're so much more accessible and conducive to using.

Uh, if there's Merlot, I'm in.

Just curious... are we all getting matching shoes next? I wear an 8.

Ditto! Good ones are often few and far between.

marc jacobs online has the mini liner and a lippie free with purchase but you must spend $50...

lmao, me too, and I'm a 9.5

I never did it! What's the reason? Just to have more at access instead of reaching for multiple? I tend to like the packaging of the palettes I buy...

​I'm 7-7.5 w/an 8 here and there depending on the style of the shoe.

I've only depotted a few MAC palettes but a ton of MAC singles. I customized my palettes by color and I keep them on my makeup center in a CD holder.
It's so much better than trying to rifle through a ton of singles---it just makes things so much easier.
