All Things Sephora

[Ernie]

Yes just placed my order! I'm at a class with my son and the reception sucks and my daughter is driving me nuts so I'm flustered...anyway I checked my email and saw it but thought it was Becca...then checked again a little after in better reception and saw it was Sephora and panicked because I thought I waited too long, lol. Thank goodness, man would I have been pissed!

Thank goodness you got it!

No Hourglass? That's surprising, it seems like they are promoting the hell out of those bronzers. Yes! That along with the bite lip set and kvd palette. Lol like no sephora I want nars and UD blushes 

I looked and asked, but it was kind of crazy in those stores. I don't think they know what they have, the cashier at the Sephora on 42st didn't know what Becca was, so I gave up.

I can realate to you ladies buying things that say Trinidad. I bought an entire makeup bag set because it was called Aruba. lol

I wish I could tell you what my MAC foundation color is but I can't as I've never personally used a MAC foundation. I was lucky to find NARS shortly after moving to Miami and get a great color match. If I move back up to NYC I'll be looking for a winter color but as well, however for now I love my NARS Sheer glow. Funnily enough Trinidad in the other formulations is too dark for me.

We'll have ramen parties all week. Thank goodness there's no MAC coming up until May!

Estée Lauder site has a GWP too. http://m.esteelauder.com/promotions

Lame I'm going on vacation today and I got my order this morning I wanted to take becca opal with me but it's cracked around the edges and coming out of the pan. I called and they're sending a new one but I have to send the broken one back what a pain in the butt I don't want to go to the post office.

Nice! I needed to use my Nordies card though. :bump:

 

[montREALady]

t it really does. i always have to make sure to hydrate well and I use hydrating primer underneath

I know we're supposed to hydrate/exfoliate anyway, but I'm wondering if it's worth getting then? What hydrating primer do you use?

 

[montREALady]

Trinidad in Sheer Glow is what I currently use.  I'm curious about that Hangover RX primer. What are your thoughts? May just get this today! I can realate to you ladies buying things that say Trinidad. I bought an entire makeup bag set because it was called Aruba. lol  I wish I could tell you what my MAC foundation color is but I can't as I've never personally used a MAC foundation. I was lucky to find NARS shortly after moving to Miami and get a great color match. If I move back up to NYC I'll be looking for a winter color but as well, however for now I love my NARS Sheer glow. Funnily enough Trinidad in the other formulations is too dark for me.

I recently got the anti-aging UDPP when Ulta had the 1/2 off last month. I have the regular and sin (not sure where this one is actually). Do I need Enigma now? Wait it has an applicator like the old school one. I prefer the new tube but I see the proceeds go to a charity...I'm a sucker for those. Thanks for the info re Nars Trinidad and specifically about the other formulations. Omg, tomorrow Lilly Pulitzer for Target launches and there are L'Oreal lipsticks in special casing (current shades, not le), makeup bags, jewelry, etc. Then there is stuff for my daughter that I want from the collection too. I'm so broke already, lol! I've never been into her stuff but I like the collection. Screams summer http://m.target.com/spot/lilly

Haha! 3 more days!


I"ve been dealing with the butterfly rash over the last several weeks, probably the worst I've experienced so far, which is why I took a break from wearing makeup so as not to aggravate it. Now that it's starting to clear up, she wants to me to take measures in addition to the SPF50 sunscreen I'm already using, in order to add an additional layer of protection between my skin and the sun and keep to a minimum the darkening of my hyper pigmentation the rash has left in a few areas.

Oh wow, I'm glad it is getting better!

what color are you in in the becca concealer?

 

[thefbomb]

I kind of wish I'd thought about this a little more before the sale started because Shoppers just had a crazy points weekend two weeks ago. Oh well, lesson learned. Most of the stuff I was eyeing isn't immediately necessary so I can wait. UD sprays are great!

I usually try to get stuff at Shoppers if I can. I did get 3 of the Clinique blushes at Sephora though, when the first 4 came out they took so long to stock them at my closest location and I really wanted it so I scooped those up now. I'm eagerly waiting on the new Stila Liquid Lipsticks and I will buy them all there!

Thank goodness you got it! I looked and asked, but it was kind of crazy in those stores. I don't think they know what they have, the cashier at the Sephora on 42st didn't know what Becca was, so I gave up.

I know! It's out of stock again (Becca corrector)! And I forget I had $12 left on a Sephora GC so with my discount and taxes I paid $16 oop. Yay! Omg not knowing what Becca is and you work at Sephora doesn't add up. I have nothing else I need so anything else will be spontaneous. Going to the one downtown Brooklyn later. I bought a Sephora face mask and An eye one in a white package. Anyone ever try them? I have to say the packaging of the face one intrigued me and it's been in my loves for a while. Just noticed they have the eye ones in the same bright packaging.

It is good. Nothing spectacular but good. Doesn't feel silicone heavy. Almost like a light lotion texture.

Too faced hangover
Lancome hydra glow - amazing
Nars illuminating primer - great pairing with sheer glow

 

[montREALady]

I got this GWP, the bag is really cute, and huge.  What color did you get in the highlighter and Double wear concealer.  I could not find a good match with double wear (story of my life)  Oh wow, I'm glad it is getting better!  what color are you in in the becca concealer? 

I checked the EL highlighter at Sephora yesterday, got the darkest, 5/6 Deep. For the concealer I looked at YT vids and settled on Deep (med deep is too light and extra deep looks too dark). I was going to swatch today but saw one of the gifts sold out so I didn't want to take the chance, lol. Syrup for Becca.

 

[armeonicx]

2nd person to mention the dry spots thing. Thanks for the info! You top with a powder?

Just underneath my eyes. After correcting and concealing I'll top it off w Hourglass's diffused light.

Thanks! Like I was telling you yesterday, I typically have dry skin but have been dealing with the oily t-zone, well more top of my forehead and nose. Anyway, should I go with a hydrating primer or mattifying? Thank goodness for blotting sheets.

I wouldn't do mattifying because it will dry you out even more. Just add some powder on your t zone or use blotting sheets. You can do maybe shasxbog hydrating it's super lightweight like gel/water texture. It works magic

You just saved me some money. I'll just continue what I've been doing. Thanks.

Are these good for dry skin? I typically use a neutrogena face wash or Fresh and I find both make my skin super dry. I've heard great things about both Algenist and Boscia.

I don't find them at all drying, but I do moisturize after using them. Boscia is the only product that has kept my occasional skin eruptions at bay---especially the Konjac
cleansing sponge. They have a sponge that's specifically for promoting dermal hydration.
