30% off at tarte's friends and family sale and i'm super tempted to get the new rainforest of the sea palette (vol II) and the second highlighter palette too. argh.

OMG I didn't even know there's a Volume II and it's soooooo pretty! Fuuuuuuuuuh. 

It just came out this week! It's only on tarte's website for now, will go to Sephora eventually. I'm surprised it's eligible for coupons actually!

I just placed my second Memebox order! I got the Benton travel sample set, Innisfree sample set and the Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence.

The Dr. jart milk peel is pretty amazing. After nightly use for not even an entire week the pores on my nose are visibly smaller. I think capscapscaps recommended it. The best stuff! Thank you!

It came down to $25, plus 5% Ebates and 1.5% CC cashback and free shipping. I'm meant to get it. LOL.

I placed an order yesterday too- got the Benton Aloe gel, Pore Corset serum, Tosowoong Propolis Ampoule, and a foot mask. At some point, I will have to stop spending so much money on makeup and skincare this season, but the sales have been so damn good!

I have a 20% off coupon and all the points for Ulta, but I can't think of anything I need.

[Pippin]

Placed my Ulta order with the 20% off and my 2000 pts. I got Buxom White Russian, Becca Ombre Rouge palette, TF Mascara Melt Off, Blackmail Vice Lipstick palette, Honest Beauty Rose Gold kit and a blue Z Palette. All for $9:)

I'm still trying to decide how to spend mine, because my Ulta wish list is not long.

I know I"m getting:
One of the UD lipsticks in the limited edition colors (Smog)
Becca Backlight primer

I'm leaning towards getting:
Becca blush (foxglove)
DIY quad from Anastasia but I haven't figured out the colors yet.
Maybe an Anastasia gloss, because Temptalia raves about them.

Also if you are looking for other ideas, on Cybermonday, I grabbed a couple of the Philosophy shower gels that were on sale.  The one in Candy Cane smells AMAZING.

I bought the Sephora Sunbleached Filter palette a couple of weeks ago and I'm not liking it. Very little pigmentation. This will probably become a hand-me-down.

Buy what you want, not what you need. Perfect solution!

But really, maybe you could restock on a favorite foundation or powder? Face wash or shampoo?

Has anyone tried Function of Beauty shampoo/conditioner? I don't know what possessed me to order the other day but I did. It is kind of interesting - you get to customize the entire thing. I'll let you know how I like it once it arrives!

[ESF]

Ulta order placed.

Becca Backlight primer

Four Anastasia singles - macaroon, pose, aubergine, and dusty rose

Anastasia gloss in Metallic Rose

UD lipstick in Smog

And three IT for Ulta brushes - the fan brush, which has been out of stock for like a year and is finally back, and two different smudge brushes.

Grand total - $2.41.

I've looked at this so many times. Seems so gimmicky so I haven't pulled the trigger, and I'm currently happy with my shampoo/conditioner.


But I might pull the trigger next time I'm bored.

I saw a review that said if you're debating just do it so that made me impulse buy haha. It does seem gimmicky but the reviews are all so good.

I used a new bottle of bb cream today and holy crap it's so nice (same one I always use, but just a new one). I think I was using my old one for longer than I should have because it got very dry and hard to spread, but I thought it was just my skin or something else in my routine.

[zoomzoom]

This is the second day in a row that my shadow has creased. I've been using TF Shadow Insurance which seemed to be working just fine. Until yesterday and today. Is there anything else you do to prevent creasing? Now that I think about it, yesterday I used a Sephora palette and today I used a Sephora single along with 2 UD singles. Could it be Sephora's shadow?

[Deleted]

Still no Ulta coupon I really need a new primer so I'm just going to have to get it without the coupon. I'll give it until Thursday.

[sporky]

@emtmissy, I would try getting in touch with their customer service. They seem pretty responsive to everyone posting on facebook about not having a code.

I tend to think that a primer is supposed to counteract shadow crappiness, but I could be wrong about that. I also didn't have much luck with TFSI.

My Mac order has shipped! I might wrap it and put it under the tree for myself, lol.

I'm officially a fan of boxycharm! I got $123.00 worth of products for $21. It included a purple eyeliner, purple nail polish, purple lipstick, lip exfoliator and a full eyeshadow palette. I'm going to have to keep this and cancel my Ipsy.

So excited! My bff got me the UD naked smokey palette for Christmas!

[notasafeplace]

I have found a miracle cream. It's the Cerave moisturizing cream in the big tub.

I've only used it a few nights now but the dry spots that showed up my face as the day went on are gone and my skin looks calmer.

It's a thick cream but soaks right in. It's helped my hands and cuticles a lot too just from my couple days of using it.

[DarcyLongfellow]

notasafeplace, -- I love the Cerave tub. It's awesome stuff.

Does anyone else have issues with Ulta not applying points correctly? Yesterday was the second time I've made a purchase in store, then when I get home and look at the points they didn't give me the bonus points correctly. Last time customer service was really great about giving me the missing points, but it's still kind of annoying to have to double check.

Also, the bigger Ulta in my city had a bunch of Tony Moly stuff (including a lot that the website said was online only), so I bought a bunch to support Ulta's carrying of Asian beauty items :-)

My Sunday Riley kit came in the mail! I'm loving it so far!

it's a good cause. 

[notasafeplace]

I was just at Ulta and they had the TonyMoly banana sleep pack. I was about to buy it but it was $16.50! It's only $7.99 on Amazon.

I want to support the cause but that is just too much of a price difference for me.

[Pippin]

Keep an eye out for another mailer from Ulta I just got another 20% off coupon. It was inside one of their magazine mailer looking things.

Well dammit. Come on ulta!

Yeah, all the AB stuff I've seen at Ulta has been double the price of it elsewhere!

I don't know how to spend my Sephora coupon. I had in my mind that it expired the day Sweet Peach comes back but it expires the day before (unless it's launching early for Rouge). I guess I could stock up on foundation or powder.
