Well, I guess I know what I'm using my sephora GC code on....

My random is that I have experience the greatness and slippery slope of Drunk Elephant products. I was using the C-Firma serum and then my sister got me hooked on the TLC, Marula oil, and B Hydra. My skin has looked better in the last week and a half then it has the last 10 years. Thank goodness for Black Friday deals.

I've had the same experience. I use the Framboos, the hydra gel, eye cream, and the vitamin C from that line and love them all. I've also tried the peekee (?) bar soap and it leaves my skin feeling so clean without feeling stripped. I wish they weren't so expensive, but I did get them all on sale so it's not so bad, right?

They're coming out with a new product in January and I will probably try that one too.

[ElizabethBennet]

Those that haven't received the card yet, did you look in your spam folder? That's where mine was.

I want to try the eye serum next!  Do you use it both day and night?  Does it work well under makeup?  Eye serum/cream is the one thing I am still trying to find a solution for.  I am currently sampling the Dr. Dennis Gross retinol eye serum and it's okay so far.  But if the DE one is amazing, I might as well try that too!

Mine isn't there either, I emailed customer service.. maybe this is the universe's way of telling me to stop buying myself more makeup....or to spend more at Mac

me either.  i'm rouge, i feel like that should get me the code first.  wonder if it's worth complaining to customer service about.  

i'm also annoyed because i'm going to get a makeover today and planned to use the code if i found something i really wanted to buy that they used on me.  stupid.

[ESF]

If you haven't gotten your code, call them. I didn't get a code two years ago, and they were able to give it to me over the phone. Everyone is assigned a unique code and it's easy for them to look it up.

There's a Rouge hotline. They mail out tens of thousands of these things and I'm sure mistakes are made.

[vtdiamond]

I emailed customer service yesterday about it and they sent me the info just now.

It works beautifully under my makeup. Its just moisturizing enough to ensure that all my powders and stuff don't make my eye area look dry.

Still no email! I'm calling.

I need to branch out a bit.

I'm good on eye palettes. I have a nice variety from several brands.

But I realized that when it comes to the rest of my face, I'm kind of in a rut. My blushes are almost exclusively just Tarte or TheBalm. My bronzers are TooFaced. I use the same Maybelline brightener under my eyes every day. I need to mix it up a bit. What should I buy?

I am a big fan of NARS and Hourglass blushes. In NARS I have Sin, Deep Throat, Orgasm, and Madly. Hourglass I have Luminous Flush and Mood Exposure. I am a huge fan of the TF Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, so I can't help there. I have yet to find my holy grail concealer, but a couple I like are UD Naked skin and Estée Lauder double wear (the one with the wand). I really want to try the Tarte Shape tape that everyone is talking about.

Becca blushes are pricey, but gorgeous, particularly if you like a little shimmer. The soufflés are really gorgeous and very popular in this board but I have two of the powder blushes (Songbird and Blushed Copper) and I love them so much. I want Foxglove next.

The Bite multisticks are good if you want a cream blush/lipstick combo.

NARS blushes are really nice. For bronzer the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer is great especially for winter if you don't mind the coconut scent. Maybe grab some foundation samples from Sephora to try out new formulas or grab a few new lipsticks in shades you don't have.

I just got my Ulta 20% off in the mail! I know some of you were waiting :-)

Also -- I'm super annoyed. I just spent $88 on Clarisonic brushes at Ulta, then today I got a 5x points offer on Clarisonic.

Will they let me return and repurchase? They're Christmas presents, so they're unopened. Or, even easier, just let me have the bonus points if I email customer service?

[Deleted]

I really haven't been wearing makeup the last month thanks to my depression but trying to get back into it.

My bff texted me last night about the UD smokey palette on sale. Right now funds are tight so I told her I have to wait until H gets his check. She bought it for me for my Christmas gift. I'm so excited!

On Black Friday I bought myself the Lorac concealer. I'm not sure if I like it yet but whenever I go into Ulta to get the Tarte's shape tape they are sold out of my color.

Noooooo!  I literally just got home from spending my 2000 points at Ulta!  I'm way too lazy to return and re-buy too.  Blech.

Used my Sephora code in Sephora and JCP Sephora today. I somehow used it on under $50 in Sephora. I wasn't paying attention and they didn't give me a problem.

[mdgirl]

Still no code for me, so I chatted with Customer Service and they said to call with my order and they'd apply it. (I then got an email response to my email yesterday saying the same thing.)

I think this happened because I wasn't subscribed to emails or regular mail from Sephora for some reason. Someone on the Sephora message said something about that happening when you become eligible for Rouge again.

[lovelyshoes]

Saks 10% off make up today only Extra10.

[Vespasia]

I bought the Kat Von D Metal Matte palette with my Sephora coupon and am already experiencing some buyers remorse. I like it and have heard great things, but I really don't need another palette. 

I haven't touched it yet because I am considering returning or reselling.

Me either.  I'm annoyed.

And in browsing Sephora, I found they sell press-on nails.  Wtf?  Are those making a comeback? Lol.

I emailed them as well and their response said: "please call customer service so we may apply the reward to your order".

I've been hanging on by a thread sephora.. Way to wow me my first year as a VIB. Would it have been too much work to just email me the code?

That's really annoying. I got a survey email today to rate my sephora CS experience. So I would be sure to fill out yours!

Yep. I've been using the C firms and TLC and marula oil for a while. My skin looks amazing.

I just want to know when Ulta is going to pop out another 20% off everything coupon. I have $125 to spend and I have gifts to buy!!!

Please tag me or send out a massive alert when this happens. You and I are in the same boat. If it doesn't happen by January I may cave.

I need to see if my Sephora card came in :) I need more deva hair stuff.

Otherwise, my MU goals for the next few months are either ULTA or natural spectrum. I'm likely going to a beauty counter event in a couple weeks and really want to try out their stuff.
