I am thinking of skipping the event I was going to. I called today and it is 250 minimum for a $30 card. The event starts Thursday. The SA said nothing about getting the discount for the event the day before. I also asked about the GWP and he said there wasn't one. Again I'm sure I was told there was a gift given at the event. Maybe I should have said gift instead of GWP. I really just wanted the paradiso collection and maybe one of the newer blushes and a brush but there is just so much going on this week, I don't want to make a big purchase right now. May just go with Sephora or Beautylish or some place with Ebates for this purchase.
BTW I did swatch Paradiso blush at Macy's. Loved it! Must have it! I didn't see the tester of the Paradiso eyeshadow but they may have had it. Also, tested new bronzer at Sephora. I couldn't get any color to show up in a hand swatch. I tried Bronze Age and the others. I don't know if the new formula doesn't do well with hand swatches or if it was just had the glaze over it from peoples fingers. It didn't look like it did though. I was just curious about the difference in formula. Saw Tom Ford products in 2 Sephoras and I was quite happy about it but at the same time I feel like I still want to buy it from a department store or beauylish. I can't say why though.
