I went a little crazy the past few days again. I placed an order with Sephora Saturday and got it today, then I went to exchange some shoes at Nordies and stopped at MAC and then ran over to Sephora since it's the biggest one in the city.

In my package was Dior Hypnotic Poison, Marc Jacobs Highliner, Korres Black Pine night cream deluxe sample, Caudalie Instant Detox Mask, Guerlain Meteorites sample, EL Advanced Night Repair sample and Cover FX Total Cover Cream foundation sample. Then today I got the Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black, Ole Henricksen face wipes, Karuna age defying mask, sample of MJ foundation, sample of Nars Sheer Glow foundation, samples of Algenist Brightening Mask, PTR Pumpkin Enzyme Mask and PTR Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask. I know the girl that works in skin care there and she said people have been raving about the Moor mask so I wanted to try it. There goes my no-spend zone before Huggables and Wash n Dry!

Except Nordies free shipping takes forever! Ugh! Macy's just needs to get on board. Omg nothing I hate worse than paying for shipping! I'm an Amazon Prime girl too.
I bear with Nordies shipping because of their items and their CS can be so nice lol
The price-matching is a nice touch, too


Edit
I got an email from them about a Spring Scent Event (aww, men's cologne not included) but the link takes me to a page that says "through April 21" so IDEK

OH! And I forgot to mention that the MJ Enigma palette is back in stock online. For some reason they don't carry that one at my Sephora (bummer). If it was there I would've bought it, but I can't order it now. I have to watch my money since my daughters birthday is coming up.

I received rapture blush by UD and it's gorgeous. It's the perfect dark mauve shade I've been waiting for. I'll try the gloss sample later but from playing with it there's no scent and it seems non-sticky. I'll wait until next week to see if sephora stores finally get these blushes so I can get quiver. I've spent enough this week.

Tell me about it, I just spent another $200 at Lowes and I still didn't get everything I wanted. LaSplash has really nice lippies for half the price of Stila and have great reviews. The Lip Couture and Lip Tint Mousse both sound fabulous! I'm getting Charmed, but I also want Hypnotized.
Lowes and Home Depot are two places I can stay in just as long as Sephora!!! You're my kinda people! ;) I've never tried LaSplash! But I will certainly go and check them out! Thank you for the recommendation :)

I've never used Laura Mercier's powder shadows, but this palette has very good reviews and several purple/plum shades: http://www.sephora.com/artist-palette-for-eyes-P383070?skuId=1677848




I got the Bobbi Brown shimmering sands palette before I knew about the MUFE neutral one (I need to spend more time in this thread!) and it seems unnecessary to get them both, but maybe I'll have changed my mind by the time you post your review. :D What's with the delay, though? BOO
Hmm hard to say because I feel like bobbi brown is a very different kind of shadow than mufe in terms of texture and style. I own the rereleased laura mercier palette, it blends nicely, but is mostly a smokey look palette so I have to be careful to not make myself look tired with it. Dude I know like I live in canada, but 11 days excluding weekends is ridics, especially since it says 6-10 days for delivery.

Yeah, like I'm in canada, but 11 days is ridiculous and I wish they could ship on weekends, because it's 11 days excluding weekends. I'm not sure whether they'll sell out quick or not. I think ppl who already use the brand will already have the singles, but newbies to the brand will pick it up.

I actually don't have any of the mufe shadows for some reason (I KNOW i'm a failure) so I'll keep this (excuse to get both haha) in mind. I probably don't need aaaany more smoky eye palettes though haha.

CANADA. So close yet, according to mail carriers, so far.

I don't own any mufe shadows either, just have swatched a fair bit. They just seem made for more bold looks. lols yeah too many smokey options for me, partly due to my skill level haha

I think the mufe palettes are a really good deal. I wish they were made of plastic instead of cardboard though. haha totes so many companies don't even ship to us due to trade agreements

Anyone use this face primer? The Nordies Beauty Chat specialist says she uses it. Not at Sephora but I figure I'd ask here: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/napoleo...ation-skin-primer/3267924?fashionsku=25064898
I had that primer back when I first started getting into makeup. I liked it well enough but I didn't have much to compare it to, either. I think I remember it smelling nice too, but this was 7-8 years ago so I could be misremembering. Looking at the ingredients though, I probably wouldn't use it now. I try to avoid parabens and urea, though that's not such an issue to everyone. Are you specifically looking for a silicone free primer? Are you using the original Double Wear or the Light version in the tube? I'm trying to decide between the two. My skin is pretty good and I don't wear makeup every day, but when I do I like to go all out.

Sounds pretty!! I was looking for you. Both my Nails Inc from Sephora and directly from the Nails Inc web site arrived today. That was pretty fast fro Nails Inc. They were packaged to perfection. The Sephora order just had each NP in a plastic bag. I'm genuinely surprised they weren't broken. Now for the real problem-----which one to wear first!!!

Inside each pod above, each NP was then wrapped in bubble wrap

My very last Sephora sale order---I tossed in a D & G NP in white---it was late and I think I wanted ice cream that night.
My Nails Inc web site order. They threw in that freebie---the brown NP off to the left.
