All Things Sephora

[MsGlossy]

I have Deep Beige and I like it!! I probably won't use as much now since the weather is warming up, but I used it on my Bday back in December and I loved how it turned out.

I think I'll go ahead and give it a try. I'll compare it to the CoverFX drops to see which one I prefer. I saw a YouTube review last night on the Medium-Deep Golden and that will definitely be too light so Deep Biege it is!

[quote name="montREALady" url="/t/185585/all-things-sephora/16380#post_2946771] I'm so done. It's like I'm not thinking when I place orders then when I see they're delivered I'm like "Oh yeah, I did order that" I place a lot of orders in the middle of the night :haha: On another note, Bloomies doesn't sell Smashbox?! Why? I just got a gift card that I would love to use on that foundation. Booooo. [/quote] I've done that too! I thought I only ordered a couple things during the sale and I open my box today to find some surprise presents to myself. I already broke down the sephora box and the package I ordered from someone on here and put them in the garbage. Then I took the garbage out to the can for safe measure. Haha.

Well I'm giving up on the Cover Fx drops and returning them to sephora. They aren't a bad product and I'm glad they're HG for a lot of people but on my skin it transfers everywhere no matter what I mix it with and what I set it with. Looks wise it looked best mixed with a facial oil but it never dried down. Honestly I just need to accept that Nars Sheer Glow is the best with my skin and stop wasting so much money trying new foundations. I really do love Sheer Glow but I always want to try something new.

 

[TwiggyPop]

Yeah, you should get Becca Rose Gold too...I'm just saying. Oh I tried the poured one at the Sephora in Brooklyn and I like the texture!

Dammit lady!!! I already had my eye on Rose Gold, but tried to talk myself out of it because it looks like something I have from Lorac. I also have Benefit Dallas. I'll just make myself believe they're exactly the same.

I had the same experience with the drops!! It never set!! Tried with primer, moisturizer, oil no go!! Transfers everywhere!! it looks good once applied but even with a setting powder didn't really set for me!!

Thanks for the info!  I'm definitely going to stop at the JCP one on the way home. Hopefully, I can find some of the old UDPPs because I don't want the new one if it's watery.  I remember they said they improved one of them, I think it was Sin.  Oh God, please help me when I go there.  My credit card is like

 .  I guess it'll be peanut butter and jelly for lunch the rest of the week. 

I hope you can find what you want!! I feel you on the pb&j :lol: it's only tuesday and my wallet is done for the week. Or so I tell myself!

What was the scent? Fruity? Floral? Now I'm curious.

Errrr. I'm not so great at discernig scent. To me, it was really unpleasant almost like the smell certain full coverage long wearing foundations have. Nothing like TF's melted lipstick scent or mac's lipstick. Just... A very awful smell for a gloss. Hopefully it's just me and not the gloss! It was very opaque and pretty. And if you put too much gloss on (i did by accident) it's gloopy. Obviously, i had to dip a tester wand in it and pulled too much product. It was a brand new from box tester she opened for me, so I wasn't toooo freaked out. I sure hear horror stories about the testers.

That sucks that you didn't have a good experience either although I'm happy it wasn't just me lol. I'm happy with my Sheer Glow though, I think I'm going to get Siberia to mix with Mont Blanc because it's always been a little bit too dark but Siberia is too yellow to just use that. I'd like to try the Armani foundation for dry skin but I'm not buying any more foundations blind. I will always sample first from now on and unfortunately Armani isn't at the sephoras near me.

I don't have any MUFE eye shadows so I bought both palettes. Ugh, I want this sale to end so that I can go back on my Low-Buy 'makeup diet.'

 

[awickedshape]

Clear!!! all is well thanks AWS

Good!

Haha!!! Actually sheer glow used to be my HG foundation as well!! And then I tried luminous one and thankfully it worked for me!! But for a very long time I used only sheer glow!! Still love it but I reach for the luminous one more. I hate foundation hunting, inevitably I always came back to the nars ones!!

:yuck: So like a chemical smell/plastic? That's gross. I don't like strong scents on lip products, but I especially hate when it gets all up in your mouth and stays there.

Ok, I have the silliest question ever: How do exchanges work in-store? I've only ever returned items, so I'm not sure how the whole thing goes down. Do they do a return and then re-purchase? Do they grab the new item I want? Do I grab the correct item and bring it up with the bad item? How do they know I didn't just bring up two items from the store? Someone hold me, I'm scared.

 

[ElectricLady]

Placed my final order, but I'm kind of salty that I couldn't try out that UD lipgloss sample. I wish we didn't have to enter discount codes for these VIB sales and that they were automatically added in!

Just keep it in your bag and pull it out when you get to the register.

I just keep the returning item in my purse, go get what I want and pull out the returning when I get up to the register.

Yup. That's how I do it. Go get what you want and when you get to the register tell them you need to exchange. Easy peasy.

I stopped by SiJCP and they had the new Urban Decay items in stock (although not out on display). I bought Rapture & Bittersweet blushes only, since out of impatience, I placed an order for the ideal items I desired through UD on release day. I also bought 2 of Sephora's new Colorful Blushes from their main line-- they have some nice punchy colors now! Seems as though lavender/purple blushes are in trend right now because they have one in their new line as well.

i do NOT have a green thumb at all but my friend in cali did a plant in the toilet display and i've always wanted to do one of those!! that makes sense about the Nars foundation. dmn makes me wanna take my pump out but its such a hassle to put it in and take it out!! that primer water is BOMB!!! i started out a fix plus gal but i loooove spritzin it on before and after makeup. i feel like it just sucks everything together n meshes it perfectly!! i swear when i read this i ran to temptalia to see the swatches n said....oh...i can pass on the electric one...then i seen the nude palette and said :shock:  **inches towards ordering.... ** U AINT NEVER LIED!!!! i phkn hate you awwwwwwwwwwwl (all)  i just need to stay my azz off this thread or just prepare to dumpster dive til my next pay day!! im like oh shyt im good...i aint ordering nothing else but that mufe nude palette im liiiiiiike prettypackages: This set contains: - 0.20 oz Glossy Stain in n°7 Corail Aquatique - 0.20 oz Limited-Edition Glossy Stain in n°43 Rouge Phèdre - Sample of Rouge Pur Couture in n°1 Le Rouge

I just recently bought a new bottle of friggin Fix+ too! I'ma wait or buy the little Smashbox one. Girl I'm so broke because of Specktra PERIOD :worms:

Skipped the sale so far but those UD blushes are tempting.
Going to check the ingredients...

Do you have a receipt or a BI account? I've always brought up the bad item and good item to the counter and just said i'd like to exchange. If you have a receipt, present it. Or if you don't just say you don't and they can look up your purchase on the system if you got it online signed into your BI/VIB/VIBR account.

The GlamGlow PowerCleanse Daily Dual Cleanser is now available as a VIB exclusive. I think I'm going to get they one but I keep going back and forth on ThirstyCleanse and YouthCleanse. Anyone use either of those?
