Argh! I don't know anyone who works for Sephora anymore. I guess I'll have to wait until next month's sale

Anyone planning to get the Karen Walker brush set? I'm on the fence.

I saw that too. Yucky. I thought real tortoise shell was banned in the 1970s? Did I miss a memo?

I called the VIBR Concierge line and the CS rep said she's pretty positive it's just a verbiage problem and that it's clearly not actually tortoise shell, since that's not legal. So she's passing my comment along to whoever can look further into it and get that clarified. I might have used words like "disturbing," "gross," and "distressing" in our conversation.

I looked it up and couldn't find much information but it seems like only certain species are protected nationwide and the rules for selling and trading can vary by state. Still very disappointed. I hope it isn't real shell. Edit: Glad you called. I'm curious to see what they say. I'm pretty sure it is illegal.

Yeah I think it's highly likely the description is poorly worded or something!! Hoping it isn't real shells!! I am curious to know the outcome of your call as well!!

I cannot imagine them using real tortoiseshell in any capacity, and then using "faux leather" as a pouch for the mirror. That would be rather hypocritical on a whole new level. I really hope the fix the wording on the site. I'm going to feel unsettled until they do.

I went to Sephora today and got a Formula X polish called Alchemy II. I'm not crazy about that brand anymore, but the color looks sooo nice. It's a shimmery multicolored shade. Also, I got a sample of the Cover FX drops and the illuminating primer. I want to try it before I bother getting it for the sale. I got the new Bite Beauty perk, too. :D

The MJ palette is a great value because the 7 pans palettes are $59 and you get 13 more shadows for $40 more. I found a site with a review and swatches on it. http://beatfacefridayy.com/2015/09/12/swatches-marc-jacobs-beauty-free-spirit-eyeshadow-palette-holiday-2015-and/ I still like the UD Vice palette though. Haha. I'm a UD junkie!
Ohh! I've loved it since I watched tarababyz review on it it's so sleek and beautiful, if it's still around when they send those gift cards out in December I may grab it! Speaking of UD, look what I found while going through my things at home!!

Here is the PR release I believe:
"
Each piece in the Karen Walker for Sephora Collection is crafted with the accents of a gorgeous gold tortoise pattern. The collection is designed with an injected plastic process that gives each of the pieces a hand cut polished finish with unique 24 karat plates gold accents.
