Guys, Tarte Rainforest of The Sea II is FREAKING GORGEOUS. If you love the original one like I do, this one is a must-have.

I really need to de-stash my palette collection. No more palettes!

i have the first and love it.  i really want this one and the highlighter volume two as well.  i should have bought them when tarte did the 30% off friends and family but didn't.  i've been googling they do a post-christmas sale but it's only 15%, waaaahhhhh.

I need to spend $120 to make platinum for next year. I don't know if it's really worth it. Someone help me decide!

I stocked up on shampoo and such and then offered my coupon to my bff to buy gifts for her neices.

So...yes?

[persa]

I can't decide if I want to get the Tarteist pro palette with my Ulta coupon. I should have bought it with my sephora GC but I didn't like a dummy. I can hear Kimberly Clark in the background: "You don't need it!"

A while ago, I had gotten a Drunk Elephant set from the DermStore. I had forgotten about the sample of the Lala Retro Cream that came with it until last night, when I decided to test it out.

Oh my god. The texture is gorgeous. I have never put anything so luxurious feeling on my face. And a little goes a very long way. I'll have to see how my skin reacts, but I'm hoping I see good results because I want to use it every day.

I kind of dont want to know, because all the DE I've bought is this boards fault as it is, but, uh, how's the lala retro cream?

I'm loving TLC and the oil. Samples of Vitamin C will probably have me get that next, and maybe, B hydration, which I thought was just ehh, but now I'm liking it. 

I'm hoping against hope the kits will go on sale in the sephora Christmas sale of the sale. I like denial okay.

I'm really loving the cream! I actually haven't tried their oil yet as I'm addicted to Fresh Seaberry, but after using the cream for a few days, I just love how soft my face is.

On Monday and Wednesday, I saw people I hadn't seen in 6 and 4 years. Their reaction - both of them - upon seeing me was, "Jesus, you haven't aged a day."

TAKE ALL MY MONEY DRUNK ELEPHANT!!!

I'm telling you, it's amazing.

I like their oil. It doesn't have a scent like the other one I adore, but it feels beautiful on and makes my face super soft.

mfluder, the kits at DermStore are great, and I got them for 25% off. Keep an eye out.

There will be more. I've never paid full price for DE at dermstore.

I was debating returning the TF Melted Matte in Candy Cane because I thought it looked too bright on me but I had 2 different people stop me today and ask what I was wearing soo I think I'll hang onto it:)

This just came in the mail. Can't wait to break out a brush to test it.

Do you love this? I keep adding to my cart at Sephora and then taking it out. I don't NEED it but I know if it sells out I'll be so sad

[persa]

And another discount I didn't take advantage of... I forgot to use my Ulta coupon

[persa]

And if anyone bought the Tarteist pro palette and doesn't love it, I'll buy it off you.

[robinsbff]

anyone have any idea if sephora will be running the extra 20% sale items this year like they have done the past few years?

that's usually when i pick up a few gifts for jan/feb birthdays and manage to hit rouge in the process...

[stephm0188]

My MIL gave me a $100 Ulta giftcard for Christmas, which was very nice.

I also have a $36 dollar TF set to return.

Debating whether to do my shopping now with the 5x points promo or hold off until 2017 so I can work toward Platinum again.

How easily did you make platinum this year?

They seem to repeat promos, so I bet there will be the same point promo next December if you need help then.

[stephm0188]

Pretty easily. I don't anticipate having a problem making it next year. I should just grab the points now.

They don't seem to be, which sucks because there's a ton of good stuff in the sale section right now. I feel like even all the codes suck right now too. 

[followyourarrow]

Could one of you please tell me I don't need this??  It's so pretty and it's on sale at Macy's for $37.

I got it, too! My 5-year-old wanted me to try it out in her (this is a safe place, right? We didn't go out in public, it was Christmas Day.).

Just get it and return it if it's meh. I was in the same place. I need some YouTube tutorials on how to use this thing though.

[MauMau]

xokell2 marriedfilingjoint I like it and think quality is fine. I'm just a little uninspired at the moment to use it. That's what I get for buying a very spring like palette in December. I think I'll whip it out in April/May and love it.

I'm $50 away from Rouge at Sephora.

I said I wasn't going to do it again next year.... but...should I? If so, what should I get? I don't "need" anything at all.

why not? Signed some who used the same logic.

Face mask? Hair mask? Sephroa favorites?

Just do it. I was in the same position during the November sale and I'm already enjoying the benefits. I doubt I'll hit $1000 next year (this year was an anomaly since I bought a NuFace Trinity and a Clarisonic) and I'm already bummed thinking about not having it in 2018. Stock up on your favorite foundation or moisturizer or splurge on a mask or something from GlamGlow.

I don't think Rouge offers much over VIB but for $50 more, I'd probably go for it anyway, and buy something fun for myself. The free NARS blush is super nice.

As for ideas on what to buy -

Bite has a new agave lip balm and scrub.

I've also lately been intrigued by the brands Farmacy and Herbivore. Fun masks, skin care, and bath stuff.

[nsl]

The sale section has some pretty good stuff right now if anyone is looking to pad an order for free shipping.

[marriedfilingjoint]

That Bite agave lip balm is amazing.

My husband saw this this morning and said "It's your two favorite things--makeup and cats." LOL
