**sigh** I bought it. I went back after work. I couldn't resist! Plus Goulue looked so beautiful. UGH! Gorge!

When you buy a gift card it doesnt count. When you use a giftcard it counts. Idk about store credit though.

Thanks! I did mean when you actually use them.

So far I got:

• SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Cookie Crunch (Golden Brown Shimmer)
• SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Hold Me Tight (Pinkish Plum Shimmer)
• SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Dying For Shoes (Black Plum Shimmer)
• SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Purple Rain (Purple Matte)
• SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow Custom Palette Case 6 Pan ( this was free with 4 shadows)
• NARS Blush in Coeur Battant
• BITE BEAUTY High Pigment Pencil in Violet

I got all of this in store. I went in to swatch the SMASHBOX Full Exposure Palette and my store didn't have it even though the website said that they did. Now here's my conundrum. I love the color and the feel of the Bite Lip pencil but I don't like the smell. I thought I would just suck it up but as I've been wearing this today I keep getting distracted by it. I guess because of a person's lips being right under their nose there is no real way to escape this. I will be making another purchase for sure.

When I read this, of course I had to go smell my Bite lip pencils. I discovered that a couple of them have a strange smell (almost crayon-like, but not...it's not the "your lipstick has gone bad" smell, but it's a little odd), but not all of them smelled like that. I only noticed it on two of the seven I have. It's not my two oldest ones either (and I don't think even my oldest ones are more than a year old yet), so I definitely don't think it's that they've gone bad. Wish I knew why some smelled funny and others didn't though! I should probably also say that I had to put the pencils right up to my nose to notice the smell on those two. Never noticed it when I've put them on. You must have a superhuman sense of smell! I'm sorry you're not entirely pleased with it

My Sephora store has 4 of the LM Artist palettes still available. Anyone still looking for one?

 

[califabulous]

You ladies have some really great hauls! I keep coming to this thread to see if anyone posts a new list or pics lol I love specktra! Of course part of me is looking to be enabled. Self-saboteur for sure!

 

[GoldenGirl]

I hate that when things are sold out they take it off the website. They should at least leave it up with the option for you to find it in a store.

 

[MacAddictNurse]

So of course the Laura Mercier palette is sold out now that I was going to get it ughh and I had a horrible day at work was so hoping for a nice little haul to lift the spirits lol man I got it bad with makeup. Anyways gonna check my Sephora tomorrow.

 

[Yazmin]

I'm heading to my other Sephora right now as they still have the Hourglass palette.

 

[MissBeautyBunni]

Just saw swatches for the LM palette on Temptalia...i think i need it now

 

[maclovin baby]

Question: do gift cards and store credits count toward your year to date spending total on BI, VIB, and VIBR accounts?

Yes it counts,I used mine today for my nars palette

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

I've heard good things about that LM palette. Wanted to buy the LORAC pro palette, but it's not in stock. might need to go in stores and give this a try.

Yes I love this palette and check your sephora tomorrow.

I hate that when things are sold out they take it off the website.  They should at least leave it up with the option for you to find it in a store. 

I hate that too because I would hate to make a trip downtown and they don't have what I want.

I'm heading to my other Sephora right now as they still have the Hourglass palette.

Can you please let me know if you find them? Thank you!

 

[LC Balthazar]

My two online orders shipped, yay ...... And I may or may not have gone into a Sephora store and picked up YSL Babydoll mascara.

Nice! That's my fave mascara of the moment! I may have picked a couple up too!

They had one left. The first store called the second and had it held for me so I picked up up this evening. PM me if you're looking for it.

I'm going to call another Sephora which is a little further out from me, but I can still get to via public transit, to see if they have any left and can hold them for me until I get off work.

 

[thebloomroom]

dont have VIB this year.. so salty about it right now

 

[thebloomroom]

Kanye West cancelled his show in my city, which is completely heartbreaking.
The only good thing to come out of it is that I now have an extra 200$ to spend on makeup (if I so choose...)

This is probably the worst place to say this because god knows that I shouldn't spend it....but.......??????

Going back thru this thread.. bummer vancouver? i saw him in oakland and it was amazing, i feel awful for the people whose dates were cancelled

 

[janineios]

Nice! That's my fave mascara of the moment! I may have picked a couple up too!

So far I like it! Is it just me or does it seem like it's sort of dry when you pull the wand out but then when you actually apply it's fine? Maybe YSL just developed some super magic wand that only picks up the right amount of product ..

Yes it counts,I used mine today for my nars palette

Thanks!

Yeah

so heartbreaking! I was SO amped up for that concert, I heard that his shows were amazing and his setlist keeps improving with every show too, ugh. Some people flew out twice to see his shows from other provinces and still missed it, so at least I'm thankful I wasn't in their position. Hey I have extra vib code if you need one btw?
