Someone on youtube did an experiment with Champagne Pop..

She put down Becca's eye brightener first on her cheekbone, then put CP on top.. to make it even more vibrant..

She didn't blend it well enough though so it looked like a 'snail trail' but it might work if it was blended more into the skin. It definitely made a huge difference in vibrancy.

I know this isn't technically Sephora related but I finally got a chance to smell Rose Fix+ today and OMG it smells great and you can't smell the Fix+-ness in it at all! I'm returning the Yuzu I bought as soon as it arrives and placing an order for Rose now.

ETA: Except that now I can't find it online (whereas Nordstrom had it yesterday) and the two MAC's I've been to in the last two days didn't have it either so I think hope is lost… That sucks...

Update: Found 'em at MAC Times Sq. Put two on hold! #winning
Great! I'm glad it worked out. Now I'm curious about the rose.

To all you ladies who already requalified for VIBR for 2016, did you get 2 10% off discount codes (one before reaching VIB and another before reaching VIBR)?

I never did even though the SA in the store said I would be receiving an email with coupons. This was about a month ago.

No ! It was just once!! I think the code works once per year! :sigh:

I never got a 10% off code, but I used the generic one for the 10% off online once I was VIB. No second code.

I am so excited, tomorrow I get my champagne pop! :D

I got one a couple of months ago because I was about $100 away from requalifying for Rouge. I used one code online and then used the store code in store.

Thanks ladies. I just got the one as well - the generic one that you get in the email. I was able to use it both online and instore. I swore I read someone say they code a code twice. Ah well.

Did you get one just after you reached VIB too? I think it was you who told me to try both online and instore. It worked for me!

LOL!!! How is your mom doing anyways? Did you guys eventually got her claim sorted out?
she's still recovering :/ thank you for asking!
Sorta, she had to get a lawyer, the insurance claim people wouldn't pay her, and didn't pay her for MONTHS... she is still sorting out amounts and stuff (she had more than 1 job), but she's still on disability :( and still going to physical therapy :( ugh so annoying.

Quick thoughts on some of the new Sephora brand products I purchased:

Bright Set Pressed Powder- Not my favorite due to how light it is. It works well to set concealer and reduce creasing, but I love my tried and true combo (ben nye dolce + hourglass dim =

)

Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer- Unfortunately, not a dupe for NARS. The consistency is thinner, the coverage is on the light side... I'm not too fond of the shade I have too (Toffee). Amande is warmer, and creamier and just... covers like a dream. I may use Dulce de Leche (the darker shade) for days when I wear barely anything and like my concealer to match my face rather than brighten/highlight.

I like the powder, but it is really bright yellow.. more yellow than Banana by Ben Nye..
I had to mix it because I looked too highlighted, so it might be too bright for my taste. Other than that, the powder is super silky and soft! I liked it. I'll be keeping it and continue to mix it with another powder.

The concealer is too light for me sadly, so I will be exchanging it to try it :/ I don't like the Nars creamy concealer so that is good news for me, I'm hoping it will be more like naked skin by UD, but I have to try it :)

its much thinner than UD and doesn't provide as much coverage :( its not horrible since it doesnt crease much but Ill continue to use naked lol

I was also gonna get the powder but realized I dont need another yellow powder haha my holy grail under eye setting combo is laura mercier translucent applied with a beauty blender & a mix of the first two shades from KVD contour! doesnt crease AT ALLLL! its amazing

My Sephora Pro x Hakuhodo brush came today! It really is sooo soft. I used it apply the new Charlotte Tilbury highlighter on one cheek and way overdid it, wasn't paying attention but was able to blend it down easily so I didn't look like a disco ball. I used just a touch of Champagne Pop on the other cheek and it blended really nicely. I like CP, it's pigmented so I have to be a bit careful but it's really nice. The hakuhodo did pick up a bit of my foundation but not nearly as much as the Sephora Pro 53 or those Real Techniques metals brushes, I swear those pick up more than they put down. Overall I like the brush so much I bought the eyeshadow/concealer one today and I'll probably pick up the other cheek one after my next paycheck. I think I'll save the other two until the October/November sales if they last that long. By the way, the code BRUSHFB is a mini Bobbi Brown powder face brush.
Thank you for your review! I ordered the large teardrop and concealer brush but it'll take some time till I get them because a friend who is in the US will bring them over to me as Sephora won't ship them to Germany. How do you like the concealer brush? I was waffling in it but decided to go for it. Meddy, hope everything will go smoothly today! I'm the biggest chicken when it comes to the dentist because I had some really bad experiences when anesthetics didn't work. Ugh! Crossing my fingers!
