Does anyone happen to know if those makeup sample bags are the only deal for BI's this year? I have some things I want to order, but will wait a few days if there is a discount code for us.
The back of mine says says "VIP friend must be with a VIB to redeem. Offer is only valid on a single purchase transaction and is limited to one friend per VIB. Valid in Sephora stores, Sephora.com, and in Sephora jcpenny stores".
I am not sure how they will know if you are w/ a VIB when you order online, lol. I don't know if it will work, but I will share my code. PM me if you still want one!
I love this! Pale mostly matte neutrals are totally my thing. Hmm.
it does look like a great combination. I wish I had an idea about quality but I'm afraid I don't know much about the brand.
my BFF is a makeup snob and LOVES lorac. In fact she claims she's getting everyone a lorac palette for xmas because they are so wonderful. she made me try her's when I was there and they have great pigment and go on very well.

Good to know! I haven't tried anything from Lorac, but as far as I know they have a good reputation. And just when I had myself talked out of buying it. Now I can't live without this thing I didn't even know existed like 18 hours ago. lol.

that, if nothing else, is what MM seems to excel at! Hehehe.
Excellent to know. It's only online so maybe I'll just do it.
Anyone got a rec for a new BB cream or TM? I like the Tarte BB cream primer but it makes my skin too dry. And I'm not a fan with the extra moisturizer with it.
have you tried nars TM by chance? It's my current favorite TM. Decent coverage, moisturizing.
This place is dangerous. I'm narrowing down my shopping cart now. I'm thinking about giving SKII another try and picking different items this time. I don't know yet.
Yup. I was just planning on stocking up on a few necessities, but they keep sending emails and print catalogs featuring all the neat new stuff.

I just checked SKII out. It looks fancy (and expensive)! What are you going to try?

What are you getting? I am in a major spending phase and want to be tempted more! $200 moisturizer isn't doing it for me, @champagna, lol!

Oh, nothing super fun. Living Proof Styling Cream (it's great for curl definition), Amazing Concealer, BB cream - I have to decide between Dior and Peter Thomas Roth. I have samples of both and I like both. I like the finish of Dior a little better, but PTR has slightly better coverage. I also need a new lash primer. I've been using Tarte but might switch to something else. And I'm sure I'll find a couple nail polish shades, maybe a couple gifts. I like to shop in store and then order online, splitting it all up into $50 orders to maximize the free samples. lol.
And of course now Lorac Pro To Go. lol. I may skip it after all; I didn't realize half the shadows were either shimmer or sparkle. I like more matte shades than that.

I have been using the Diorshow lash primer and like it.
I am planning on breaking my order into 4, so I can get one of each of the sample bags. I signed up for the sample exchange again; I need some stuff to add to it!

I have a few Lorac items (eyeshadow and blush) and they are good quality.
I really like that DL nail polish set, but ugh, I can't spend $78 on nail polish. I have also heard good things about the Hourglass palette.
Also, since I first posted about wanting only a few things, I have added $300 worth of stuff to my cart.
lol. Yeah I started with I don't need anything, and then I'm like well.... I'm feeling the same way at the Deborah Lippmann. I want to get it but I think I'll hold off.

Shit, I forgot only one code. There goes my brilliant scheming!
I've wanted to do the same!
The advantage of breaking up the orders, if you use ebates, is also that you keep the ebates for the other orders if you return something from one. But I also admit that I'm too lazy, oops.
Placed my order today and spent wayyyy too much money! I stocked up on a couple new UD eyeliners and Nars velvet gloss lip pencils, along with some Hourglass veil primer, Bareminerals bisque, the Fresh sugar baby set, the Tarte off-the-cuff blush set, the Tarte lipsurgence set, and philosophy snow angel body wash. Also picked up the Boscia mask 500 point thing.
I placed my order today. I pretty much just stocked up on some essentials (replacement Clarisonic heads, Clinique foundation, UD eyeshadows in Sin and Toasted, UD eyeliner in Demolition, Nars blush in Orgasm), but I did get a few new/fun things:
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil Sephora Collection bronzer/blush brush set Philosophy Jolly Jelly Candy Set (shower gel/sugar scrub in Pink Grapefruit and Sweet Orange scents)
I also got a few face primer samples and redeemed some of my VIB points for a First Aid Beauty hand cream and a Tarte mascara.
I just placed a $300+ order (but saved $76 ). At least $100 of it was stuff I bought for my mom that she'll pay me back for since she isn't VIB. I got:
5 Diorshow Iconic mascaras (one for me, one for my mom, three that my mom bought to give as gifts)
Nars tinted moisturizer
Stila Kitten
Bite Beauty Best Bite set
2 Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve face creams (one for me, one for my mom)
Too Faced All I Want for Christmas set as a gift for my SIL
