ESF which Becca soufflé do I need?

I have Fig/Opal and Lychee/Opal. They are both lovely.

Fig/Opal is my absolute favorite, it is really versatile. It is a shimmery nude with a bit of plum and peachy gold. On me, it seems like it is in the same family as Tarte Exposed, I often use the two together with the souffle as a highlight.

Lychee is more summery though. It gives me the absolute best "just spent the day at the beach" look.

The watermelon one is in the Ulta Best of Becca set. As much as Ulta annoys me, that set will be my next purchase.

Damn it! I hope it comes back!!

And I don't see myself ever being rouge at sephora again. Not because I'm not buying makeup but because I know the makeup game now. There is an art to makeup buying!

I'm way more partial to Sephora. For one thing I work across the street from one, so it's super easy for me. I also keep track of my purchases with the Makeup Alley diary, and when I looked at what I buy there a lot of it isn't available in Ulta or Nordstrom. I also like them because I signed up for flash shipping a couple years ago, and they kept renewing it for free. The closest Ulta to me is in the burbs, and it always seems like it's disorganized and out of stock. Plus I never get the really good coupons.

I absolutely hated Ulta until the one near me got a new manager last year. Overnight, the staff became more helpful, the store got cleaner with fewer empty displays, and the checkout lines got faster. I would not be having Ulta warm fuzzies if those things hadn't happened (and I still won't shop their online store), but given the slow decline in service at my brick and mortar Sephora over the same period as the improvements at Ulta, I'm sold on the latter at the moment.

Sephora is losing the customer rewards game to Ulta big time in my book. This sale isn't great, I can't remember the last 500 point reward that got me excited, and Ulta's points for discounts policy makes me far more interested in shopping there than in getting samples for my Sephora points. Granted, I'm cranky in general this afternoon, but I'm really not feeling much Sephora love right now.

This is what sends me to Nordstrom whenever possible. I would rather earn rewards on my Nordstrom card.

Did you know that now you don't even have to have a Nordstrom card (either CC or the one linked to your checking account) to earn rewards?  I'm not sure if all stores are doing it, but I signed up for it a few months ago.

Watermelon!!!!

ETA: it is my new favorite blush. I can't remember which other one I have of the soufflés - maybe lychee - but i find it more sparkly than pigmented.

[laurenpetro]

The only thing I like about Ulta is I can get Zoya Polish and use my coupon on it. Beyond that I have never been impressed.

[litebright]

A new Ulta opened near me and it's close enough that I can bop over whenever, rather than trekking to the mall/Sephora. That has made a difference in where I spend, for sure. The times that I've ordered online, my stuff from Ulta has arrived in a normal timeframe, maybe even a little faster than expected.

I also like the $ off approach to points better than Sephora's, but Sephora has more brands that I'm interested in. I doubt I'll get to the high rewards levels at either one, but the frequent drugstore-brand coupons do get me into Ulta to try the cheap stuff and so far I'm liking the sales. Which seems to translate into getting enough points that hey, if I'm going to buy CB or something that I can get either place, then I buy at Ulta for those extra dollars off.
