All Things Sephora

I'm failing to understand why NARS thinks that by adding a brush to the Laguna bronzer that you can give it another name.When I saw Tahiti Bronzer on the new items list I thought "oh, maybe this is a bronzer I can use!" Alas it's just the same old Laguna brush with a mini Ita brush.

And it's just a repackaged version of the Algorithm set from the holidays!!!!

Word! Same thing happened to me. I thought it was a new shade. Laguna doesn't do a thing on my skin. Nars is slipping. Audacious was a huge surprise for me because they have underwhelmed me for awhile now and it's sad because they used to be one of my favorites. I wanted to place a Sephora order the other day, but I went a little crazy on the Betsey Johnson site, so I'll wait til next week. You guys, BJ has a 30% sale right now! That includes jewelry (which is why I lost my mind).

I thought it was just me. I've been underwhelmed with the last few things I've bought from NARS.

Taking off my makeup and decided to try the Marc Jacobs Mahogany lipstick. Before I used to try to keep these things new as long as I could and now it's, like, "Gotta swatch it for the thread" lol The texture is almost as light as the Givenchy Le Rouge formula. Glad it doesn't look too close to NARS Deborah and Chanel Foudroyante on me. J'Adore might be next. Thanks Jenise, Dilligaf and Kiki

How do you all test new moisturizers for reactions?

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

@montREALady and other wearers of tarte's blush in Charisma, how much of the sparkles actually transfer to your face in application? Is it sparkle overload?

I just have to jump all in. I apply it normally and with my skin, if it's going to react it'll happen in a matter of hours. So at least I don't think I have something great for like a week and then it all goes to hell. Most people will probably tell you to use it on a particular spot and wait to see any irritation.

2 can play at that game!

None at all tbh. I don't see any. Or nothing where I'm like "WTF?!" In the pan it looks it but by the time I put it on I forget about that because I'm like, "What a nice natural blush" HAHAHA!

I'm too impatient for that----I shouldn't be, but like you-----I'm all in from the jump!

Beautiful!!!! Love it on you AWS!!!

:haha: Seriously. With all kinds of products they tell you to do a patch test but I'm just like YOLO. Do the kids still say that???

 

[montREALady]

Right?! Like who still charges for shipping these days? And I bet it's slow azz shipping as well.

For real. I only order from them when they have a sale on stuff I want and I'll actually be spending $50. For Mother's Day it was a $35 min. I remember last year or year before they had $25 min sometimes. That $50 is way too much. I mean come on, $25 at least because I know it's costly to send people a bunch of cheap orders (even Beauty.com and Drugstore.com changed their Shoprunner to $25 minimum), but $50??

 

[Medgal07]

I bought my first one a few days ago in Sephora and posted about it here. Everyone has always loved the BB and I got the pink one on impulse. The group mentioned that the Black one has a pointier tip and doesn't bleed as much as the pink. Figured Beauty.com has their F&F sale why not! I go from not having any beauty blenders to having two in as many days.




Am I the only one that had to fight to not write "That's what he said!" after the " pointier tip" part?

I have mahogany and it's one my faves. I have J'Ador and it's a perfect nude. Get it!

It is so annoying that shoprunner has a minimum now.. I remember a few years ago - shoprunner announced it teamed up with Ulta.. but something happened and it never materialized.. when it was first announced - I was so excited, because I do order from Ulta a lot.. it usually takes me about 10 days to get my orders.. it is so freaking slow.. but they have so many good gift with purchase offers and their reward system is so much better than Sephoras -- that I just suck it up. I would be in heaven if the partnership with shoprunner panned out..

Yes, Ma'am lol

This Off-topic, but on nouveaucheap - someone posted about finding that Nars Tahiti Bronzer at Nordstrom Rack for $14.97 .. I hit up my local stores but my stores do not have it.

I know! I was pissed because I'd order stuff from Drugstore and my orders were rarely over $25. I actually got the membership for them and Toys R Us. Now it comes free with my Amex otherwise I'd cancel it.

It is slow. If I pay for shipping it better not take longer than 3 days. Ulta was 5 days for me and that was standard shipping. They can go to hell with that.

@shontay07108, you really need to get in touch with your emotions. I never know how you really feel. Lmao! Your posts complete me.
