That's weird, I use the P&P primer and have never had that happen before.
The packaging on it has shimmer too - similar to Heirloom Mix collection. It was extremely frustrating because I work at a place where I can get into a lot of trouble for having stuff like that on my hands because it can get into the product.

Welcome back Mel. Where have you been?
Lol, nowhere. Just got swamped with work and have been going on a lot of interviews lately. I just haven't been paying attention to makeup really. Just a few things here and there, I feel really out of the loop. :haha:

Omgosh! I have barely been on here. Not a moment break from work. I told myself I wouldn't do anything tonight and ended up doing a little bit anyway. I went on Instagram. Why Oh why oh why? I knew things were going to get crazy but Ugh! So many new things out. Holiday is usually hard for me but this year is killer. I'm usually TeamBuyItAll but I just don't know. I decided to just make a list and work from there. But my list is just getting longer and longer. I was going to get some Chanel stuff next but I don't know now. So many things coming out and all limited for the most part. But many lines seem to be coming out with new permanent products, new formulas, brushes, etc. and I'm excited to try them too. Why can't they save these new exciting permanent products for when there's a bit of a lull after the holidays (although I've been noticing over the years that time is becoming shorter and shorter)?

I think I'm back, for a bit at least!! What's everyone eyeing? I need "inspiration"
Oh me? everything. I am suddenly on a foundation kick and wanting to try new ones all the time. Right now I want to get the new Mac and Burberry foundations. Also want the new Chanel foundation brush even though I bought Mac's version, I still want the Chanel one. Which is crazy because I don't own any Chanel brushes. I want the 2 new Chanel blushes and maybe the powder. Guerlain (meteorites with star shaped balls) & Chanel Holiday (Rouge Noir theme of Id'O, polish lipstick, gloss, polish and eyeliner) look good. Mac has quite a few collections out now. I haven't really had a chance to try them. Not really up for the hunt but I do want to check out the Holiday collection. I usually like the Holiday collection, the stand alone one rather than the sets. I've seen pics but haven't seen all the items up close. Hope to soon. Oh and Nars holiday is out soon. I could go on.

Are you getting anything from Guerlain holiday---it's out now. I think I'm done w/Gerlain. Now I'm waiting for Chanel, and I'm only getting one item from Tom Ford holiday. I think we don't see any permanent product releases during the holidays because that's when merchants want to make a killing/profit. Limited edition items are more likely to assure that.

I broke a back molar and had to get it fixed at the dentist. this is me today:




On the plus side, I picked up my ring today!!!! :)
Oh I hope it's feeling better CQ. I hate the dentist too---I go for a cleaning every three months---that's the only
thing that I like about the dentist----having really clean teeth. How exciting that you got your ring!!!! Very
awesome!!!!!

Most of the high end holiday collections. There are way too many items that I want from Guerlain & Chanel.
I feel pretty safe with Tom Ford right now---I'm only eying one item---a cream shadow duo.

I got the MAC version of that brush and two of the Chanel ones. The MAC version is larger, making it easier to
apply foundation, however, I used the Chanel brush to apply it today and it was fine. I thought its smaller size
would slow the process but that didn't hold true. The Chanel brush is also great for applying cream blush
flawlessly. Both are amazing brushes from which I'll get a multitude
of uses.

Yes, I've been eyeing the Guerlain and Chanel holiday. I'll probably pick up a few things from NARS as well. I wasn't as wowed with the other holiday sets but I have a few higher end skincare items on my list.

Honestly ulta pissed me off so bad twice that I think I'm just gonna skip the palette I have so many I really don't need another this whole situation kinda just made me change my mind
Oh, I am sorry..I had an incident a few weeks ago with Ulta (in-store).. Anyway, I complained and they sent me a $10 gift certificate..which I used for the palette.

I bought shampoo and conditioner.. and used the $3.50 off coupon..and did not pay attention until I was on the road.. then I saw on the receipt - the coupon was not deducted, so I went back in the store. The manager was very nice (or seemed to be) and refunded me back $3.24.. which perplexed me. I made a comment to her about it being only $3.24, not $3.50.. and she said "well maybe because of tax".. and I said, "well, my refund would be MORE than $3.50, not less - if that was the case".. anyway, I just shrugged it off.. who is going to argue over 26¢?

I honestly thought she just typed the deduction in and made a mistake entering the amount... but later on - when I looked online at my reward points.. She had DEDUCTED 100 points from it.. then I checked the refund receipt-- and yup, she took the points from me without asking..

I was SO, so, so mad. I save my points to 2,000 and use them then. I did not authorize that deduction.. regardless, even if I had - I should have gotten the $3 (100 point deduction) AND my $3.50 coupon discount.

Anyway Ulta customer service was super nice and refunded my 100 points, PLUS gave me a $10 gift certificate. I am still annoyed with that lady. Luckily, this is an Ulta I do not frequent often.. it is about 10 miles away.. and I have 2 other Ultas within 5 miles.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes Looxi to ship.. and if they send you a tracking number.  I could not find a way to set up an account and just ordered via paypal.. so I do not see a way to check my order status to see if it has shipped.. or what is going on with it.

What the hell at that ulta lady that would piss me off I save my points too! I'm not sure how long looxi takes to ship but in guessing they will be overloaded from the sale so it will probably take a little while you could pro back email her at [email protected] she is pretty helpful.

I know! I really did not think for one minute she used my points, but looking back - she acted weird when I brought up the fact that my refund was a wonky amount. What she did was use 100 points, so of course it did not equal out to $3.50 exactly. It is annoying because she knew what she did, then tried to play it off with the "taxes" nonsense. And like I said, I just thought she typed in the discount/refund and who cares about a quarter.. So I just said, "no worries.. I won't bother you for the other 26¢ - it isn't a big deal".. and she just sort of smiled.. it was strange.

Ulta CS was super nice about it though.

I am usually super laid back and rarely complain, but that had me livid. First world problems, I know..but it just wasn't right.

Anyway, about Looxi - I am pretty patient (heck, I wait for Ulta shipping LOL)... I just like to sort of check in on my orders and see the progress.. If I don't hear anything by the middle of next week, then I will email them. Thank you for the email address!

Well I emailed them after not receiveing the email and all they said was that they are sorry and I am on their email list for sure now I then emailed them back saying recieving emails from the was never the problem just this one email with this one specific item I did not receive and I don't think it's right seeing as I spent $2,000 dollars with them this year and that was 3 days ago so screw them.
