All Things Sephora

[pandorablack]

I just bought a pair of Vince Camuto booties/pumps. And a pair of Topshop pumps. And a skirt. And a bag.

And then online I bought these:

They really never should have given me a Nordstrom card.

 

[pandorablack]

I can't help. I like them both.

Lol the pressure was killing me! I just went with the BCBG because I like the silhouette slightly more. Hoping they're not tooooooo shiny, I'm not a patent leather fan. The cage sandals are VC so I guess I will see which are more comfortable! I can't deal with the sale price. 75% off!? Yes pls.

 

[pandorablack]

God, I just paid full price at Nordies. Don't even ask what I spent.

Noooo! Aren't they $100? I got the cage heels for $43, the BCBGs were $37, so $120 total. I'm in shock. I also grabbed a pair of Steve Madden combat boots in store for $50. They always get me with the one day sales but it's been forever since I bought shoes so I feel I am justified! Lol ANYWAYS BACK TO SEPHORA TALKS. I grabbed Ole three little wonders set tonight. This stuff has been amazing! I used up that "7 day kit" which lasted me a couple weeks and wow, my skin has never looked better. I also swatched the new Too Faced foundation (which i wasnt expecting to love!) and tried out the Clarins beauty flash at Monsy's suggestion. I'm impressed. Too bad my trip got cut short by a hungry little munchkin! Another day... *birdman hand rub*

Yep. I paid over $100 for them.

I should have shopped last weekend during the anniversary sale but I bought NARS then instead.

Speaking of NARS! I love their skincare. My skin has cleared up since I switched to their foundation and skincare.

 

[pandorablack]

These are the booties I bought in the store. They are SO cute on.

They hurt like hell.

Oh well, I'll be sitting down when I wear them. LOL

how long have you been using it?

 

[pandorablack]

LOL
how long have you been using it?

about 10 days. I'm amazed I saw improvement so fast.

 

[Prettypackages]

about 10 days. I'm amazed I saw improvement so fast.

I thought you said you just got it. I'll have to check them out.

 

[pandorablack]

I thought you said you just got it. I'll have to check them out.

It's been at least a week or so.

 

[pandorablack]

I just checked on my NARS thread and it's been six days. That's impressive to see some improvement that fast.

 

[Shars]

Ahhhh! I do like the cut of the BCBG pumps more so I'd say Yay! What a freaking steal. Those caged heels are stunning!

 

[TwiggyPop]

I see this was answered but yeah, you have to be logged in to your sephora account and you can't be on mobile for some reason.


Bittersweet eh? I'm $26 away *eeek*
I like the Estee Lauder Double Wear and the discontinued EL Double Matte. I also like the Revlon Photoready and Colorstay foundations although I'm conflicted w/buying them anymore cause Revlon's CEO is a douche. I also realised recently that if I don't cleanse my skin with a cleanser in the morning and just wash off the overnight oils with water, my foundation lasts a lootttt longer. I've noticed it with the MUFE HD foundation and the Maybelline Fit Me (regular). Most of the other brands out there, I still need a good mattifying primer for them to work and still have to touch up during the day. The MAC Prep + Prime BB cream in the compact also works really well, though I feel the powder or liquid will be better but I don't find the shades to be awesome and it has a strange paint smell that you get slight whiffs of during wear *sigh*. Other than that, I really like that one too and it's spf 50 I think.

Thank you! I'm always on my phone so I'm probably missing out on a lot because of it. Haha. I'm on my desktop now though so I saved it. There is a lot of codes I should be using!

 

[stormborn]

The same thing happened to me with the Ole regimen! My skin went crazy postpartum and this stuff cleared it up literally overnight. I've never before considered myself to have good skin, until now. I'm still looking for a daytime moisturizer though so I'm gonna take a look at that Nars joint. [@]Shars[/@] the caged ones made my life! My foot size changed when i was pregnant so I'm starting from scratch with shoes. And apparently that sale is still on. ALL THAT STRESS FOR NOTHING. at least it was good practice for mondays point event! :haha:

Thanks a lot! I looked at the lighter colors at Macy's...they didn't even have the tester for dark brown. I didn't check out the Tamer though. I use the NYX brow mascara now that I love, before that MAC. Brow shaping is a combo of pencil and MAC Embark shadow. I only started pencil this year, before that my brows only needed light filling with powder. Then I started the ABH Pomade trend, that was intense, then NYX Brow Gel. Now I'm wanting more natural brows. I need to try one of these skinnies though. Likely UD since it's waterproof. I wish Ulta was closer to me. The UD rep at Sephora made it seem like it was such a big mistake that Macy's released "early", but if even Ulta even has them out...Sephora takes forever to launch stuff in stores sometimes and they're supposed to be the cosmetics "mecca".

she is wrong
they were released when they were supposed to

that sephora was probably late with the release since they didn't get new gondola / shelves on time (that is my guess). it has be online on sephora for couple of weeks now

Is it much better than most of other brow pencils out there? no. i would say it's the same i know she made it sound like it super special but i would disagree (clearly she works for UD lol )

@Monsy u are right, they take too long to change the shelves, so that delays launches at sephora all the time.

 

[Monsy]

it's the fault of the department who does resets
they are stupid at ulta too. shelves that they send never fit and product often doesn't fit in them
so you will have situation when product is supposed to be launched and then customers yell at sales people why it's not out there when it's not their fault at all

at my old store the problem was we only had one person taking care of animation, so she was doing all of the work alone and it got pushed back .. :/

She did say it was because if the gondola, but to me that's ridic if other stores got it together. This was Herald Sq for Pete's sake! She could have talked to the moon and back and I wouldn't have taken her seriously since I know she's the UD rep but my thing is, is Anastasia not waterproof? I like that aspect. Tbh I use Wet n Wild pencil, lol, works fine. I have a NYX Skinny but I think the color is too light, can't remember. I also have their brow marker. I tried Sephora's once and their darkest wasn't enough for me so I was going to buy either ABH, since I tried it on Thurs., or UD. Or get the darkest of NYX, ha! What do you use? As I was saying before, I change up every so often depending on how I want them to look between dramatic and natural. I think dramatic was a phase, I don't think it's really me.
