That LM palette that bluelikejazz linked looks like the same one from 2 Christmases ago at Sephora. I have it (and maybe forreals) and it's lovely.

I have it thanks to kittycatlove and I LOVE the colors in it. If she hadn't so kindly passed hers on to me I would be snatching that up in a hot second. I used to look at it so longingly but it came out before my makeup love began.

I also have it. I like it but don't love it, but think it's still a great palette.

My only palette currently is naked 2. This looks like a nice compliment with a bit of color, but still fairly neutral. Is there a better palette I should look at instead?

I think it's just that a couple of the purples are too cool for my taste/coloring. I did just use Kir Royal and African Violet, which are the two I use most. I think it's a great palette, I've just found over time I don't use it as much as I thought. It's more of a supplement palette than a standalone one, if that makes sense.

What's your coloring?

Have any other VIBs not received any notification about this sale?

I haven't .... And my cart is full.

I haven't. I usually don't get notified until the day before.

That makes sense.

I'm cool with pink to neutral undertones. I wear tons of purples and pinks.

I think you'll like it. The colors are beautiful.

Now that I think about it, last time I had to email them for a code. They were nice but I hope it isn't that way this time.

The rouge one is rougelove I believe

This is my cart right now.  It has to be narrowed down.

I think that was the Tarte palette that just got a mediocre review on Temptalia.  

But what is that Too faced kit? Ooooohhhhhhhh.....

Is the new circle palette better? I've debated between the two.

Not sure...I think she reviewed both in the last week so if you search the site, they should come up.

I got my VIB coupon in the mail today.

[NewOrleans]

Ok, listen up. You really do need the LM Artist palette. I bought it 2 years ago at the fall sale. One of the single best makeup investments ever. The colors are gorgeous. On the skin, they read true to how they look in the pan. Good pigment, and the sweetest texture for blending. Hands down one of my favorite products.

BUY IT.

eta: for clarity, it was the same palette 2 years ago, and they gave brought it back.

I still haven't either.

[MyName]

I never get notification. I think I got the code from the MUT last time.

[bl]

Here is what I have so far:

New products:
Laura Mercier Eye Art Artist's Palette
BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal
MURAD Oil-Control Mattifier

I also want to get the Cover Fx drops, but need to go into the store to find my shade.

Repurchasing:
GIORGIO ARMANI Eyes To Kill Waterproof Mascara
LIVING PROOF Perfect Hair Day Shampoo
LIVING PROOF Perfect Hair Day Conditioner
LIVING PROOF Perfect Hair Day™ 5-in-1 Styling Treatment
URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow Primer Potion

[runaways]

Okay. I have a final list ready for my Sephora trip tomorrow. I decided I could live without Maracuja Oil and the Sugarpop palette. I think maybe bright eyeshadow just isn't really my style.

B&b Hairdresser's oil shampoo and conditioner
Becca blush soufflé in Watermelon/Moonstone
tarte Celebrated blush
Living Proof prime style extender
Fresh Sugar Rose extreme lip stuff (I love the package!)
TF Boudoir Eyes

[nursewife]

I have a ABH dipbrow, TF melted, and something else I need to return this week. I'm excited since I'm trying not to shop! Now I don't feel bad about getting a couple things when I stop at the mall this week!

[zoomzoom]

I'm sad. I wish I were rouge since they can shop now. After this purchase, I'll be rouge. Impatient, party of me. Damn it.

[secretlyevil]

Ulta got all my monies. Unless I do some returning which is a possibility.

[bimbi284]

Damn you all. I didn't think I needed anything from this sale.

Now I want all the things and I signed up for the rouge event but don't think I'll make it in time to get a sample bag.

I read on the Sephora boards that they will give out extras later in the day.

I'm heading over shortly. I will post later to update as to whether it is worth it.

Or maybe our east coast people can chime in?

[runaways]

I missed signing up for the thing and showed up around their normal opening time and they gave me a bag of samples, but I haven't had time to inspect it yet.

Update: I think it's just a bunch of fragrance samples. Lame. I can't be sure though because there was nothing in the little striped bag but here was a separate envelope full of the samples.

[peachykate]

The bag isn't worth it but we had a good time. One SA stayed with my sister and I the whole time, then of course we bought tons of stuff.

I went towards the end. Everything I wanted to buy/try wasn't in store yet. bah.

[heyjude]

I almost went but then thought nah, it required being in a mall.

Haul #1

No Sugar Pop in the store. They also didn't have the new UD blushes. They did have the Melted Metallics. I tried a few shades and hated all of them. They were thin, patchy, and made my lips look shriveled and dry. Boo.

I tried the UD Revolution Sheer lipsticks, which was not a product I had heard of. Loved these so hard. Great option if brights scare you. I bought Anarchy, which is a sheer bright pink. The formula seems great, sheer and glossy, but super pigmented. I am going to see how this wears, but I may be investing in a couple more shades, because I also loved Rapture and Fame (heyjude this is a super wearable orange)

My store has a new Becca counter and I want all the things. The stock was heavily depleted by the time I got there at 10:15. I want more than what I did buy but I'm still undecided because seeing them all in person really complicated my decision making as they are all so stunning.

I thought the gift bag was decent. I like the bag and there's a full size Formula X polish in a great color. Shampoo and conditioner foils are among the only kind of foils I really like, and the ones in the bag are good.

So for rouge people, were you allowed to bring a guest or register a guest for online purchases?
