The only thing I got was the becca palette. I'm thankful for this thread bc there was no sale sign by it so I would not have known it was only $17. I can't believe there was nothing else from ulta or Sephora that I wanted. I felt like there were not that many great deals like there have been in the past.

I bought a couple Philosophy shower gels at Ulta and took advantage of Bumble and Bumble's offer. I was going to buy Hairdresser's Oil at Sephora anyhow, but their deal was too good to pass up. I bought the holiday set and got the primer for free. Whee!

I got a UD mascara and a travel-size eye shadow primer at Ulta, and that was all. I didn't go in until around 9:30 this morning and it looked like things had barely been touched, they had lots of stock.
I tried stopping into Sephora when I was at the mall, and the way they set up their doorbusters is just the worst. They have one set of display shelves in the center, right near the entrance, where 90% of the BF deals are located and it's just a solid knot of people moving sllooooowwwwllly around that display. I got fed up after about three minutes and decided that I didn't need any impulse buys *that* badly.
Not just makeup, but I heard about the PopSugar Must Have box here, and there's a really good BF deal for them. You can get $20 off 1 month, $50 off 3 months, or $100 6 months. The code is SURPRISE.

Just got an email about Ulta Cyber Monday. Bare Minerals Ready 8.0 eyeshadow palettes are going to be 50% off. Any reviews on their eyeshadow? I've been eyeing the Posh Neutrals for a while now. Love a good cool-toned palette.
bellejar, the Ready formula is fantastic. I have three or four of their palettes and absolutely love them. They all have good color payoff, are blendable, and are just really solid workhorse palettes.

I've played with them in the store and they're lovely. Ive never heard a bad review. Do it.
At least they are doing it for a whole day this time ESF.
Those that like coverfx, nouveaucheap pointed out a great deal. You can get a gift card for cover fx at gilt (pay $100 for $200 cover fx gift card, and using CYBER you can get the $200 for $80. And then there's 25% off coverfx going on now right now to boot.
The Too Faced White Chocolate Chip palette is live on Sephora for Rouge right now. I think it goes on sale for everyone tomorrow. I grabbed it. I was surprised it's only $26 since their 9 pans are usually over $30. Plus I used a code for a deluxe size of Dior Savage for my DH, pretty happy I don't have to spend $75 on that cologne:)

OMG thank you for flagging this. I just got back from four days with limited internet and hadn't worked through all the deals.
This sounds awesome. I love the few products of theirs I've tried and so this seems like a good value way to experiment with other stuff.

See, I'm so glad that all my internet stalking is going to some good use. I am way to up to date on the sales lol....
I was annoyed that Ulta didn't have a points promo and their freebie bag today was filled with crap. But I did get some Philosophy shower gel and one of those Bare Minerals palettes. I thought about using my points and buying a ton of stuff, but I figured I'd buy a few things that were on sale, and save the points for a 20% coupon in a few weeks when hopefully there will be better free gifts for the stuff I want.
I also bought the Gilt City CoverFX deal, but I'm annoyed because it says it will take 24 hours to send me the voucher, and by that time, the 25% off sale on CoverFX's site is supposed to be over. Boo. Still an amazing deal, as I used Ebates, which was at 10%, so it's $200 worth of stuff for $72.
My tinfoil hat theory is that Ulta got stingier with the 20% off coupons after they launched the credit card so people would get that since you get 20% off the first time you use it.

I'm debating whether or not to place an order at TheBalm.
I love the blushes I have from them. Debating Balm Beach and a couple of InStain blushes.
Also considered Ulta's BareMinerals palettes, but my palette drawer is so jampacked it barely closes.
I'm feeling very meh.
If I had ordered something from TheBalm, the Balm Beach would have been it. It looks really pretty. Their blushes are great and the absolute best for traveling.
I also really like their liquid matte lipstick. It's the most comfortable one I've tried.

I skipped TheBalm and Sephora this year.
Unfortunately the Gilt certificate is applied as a promo code, so you can't stack the 25% off promo code on top of it. I was disappointed, but still a good deal.
