Sephora VIB or Ulta Sale- What are you going to buy?

[peachykate]

I went in with a $50 list and I somehow end up with double in my hands.

I grabbed the UD Nocturnal palette, I paned the ammo one so I figured why not.

Matrix sugar shine spray was 1/2 off.

Boots 7 setting powder

Soaps

Fiona Stiles concealer and under eye illuminator stylo

Makeup Revolution highlight

I didn't realize some of the UD blushes are on sale or I would have picked up another.

I probably won't get anything from Sephora.

[closertofine]

Most of mine are things I'm running low on and won't make it until November for.

UD Naked Flushed
NARS Laguna/Orgasm combo
Algenist cleanser
OH Nurture Me
Buxom mascara
Sephora Wipes

And the TF Natural Love palette if I pull the trigger. Should I?

[peachy]

No points or promos for me I just missed making Platinum for this year

[tiramisu]

More Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, probably more Bite agave lip mask, maybe the Drunk Elephant lip balm, Laura Mercier setting powder, maybe a setting spray.

Does Sephora sell Skindinavia? I want to try their setting spray, I've heard great things.

Fwiw, the DE lip balm is the first product of theirs that I'm "meh" about. Glad I got it free in a promo set.

Thank you, that's really good to know.

Agree. I returned mine. It was average at best

I got an email for the Marc Jacobs lip gloss promo so I went ahead and ordered the gel eyeliner. I figured it worked out to a less 4 dollar lip gloss. And ebates was 8%

I've been eyeing the TF peach palette too, since the MR "dupe" isn't a good dupe at all. But then I look at the stack of freaking palettes I already have and don't use...


Sigh....

We really need a rent the runway for makeup. If only it were sanitary.

Do you wear many peachy colors? I find I rarely do, because they tend to pull orange on me. If that's the case for you, maybe it'll help you resist?

FYI not Sephora or Ulta, but I posted earlier that American Express has a $10 off $30 purchase at HSN. They have a lot of benefit, tarte and others. If you sign up for emails, you can also get 15% off. Most of it's free shipping, too.

[Pippin]

Placed my Ulta order. I ended up getting:

Hey Honey serum
Nip/fab pads
BareMinerals Well Rested undereye powder
UD Grindhouse sharpener

I'm looking forward to trying out the BareMinerals powder. I've been hating how my undereyes look lately so I'm hoping this helps. Ended up with about 400 pts not too bad.

[redheadbaker]

In my Ulta cart, I have:

Fiona Stiles Bronzing Sun Veil
Fiona Stiles Full Cover Perfect Concealer
Batiste Dry Shampoo
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer
Urban Decay Afterglow Blush in Kinky

In my Sephora cart, I have:
Bite lipstick in Fresh Peach
Makeup Forever eyeliner in metallica bronze
Caudalie Grape Water

[lexxasaurus]

I have $150 in rewards at Ulta so I'm going to start compiling a list. I need some basics refilled like my UD Perversion mascara but I'd like some fun stuff too.

[calico]

Just placed my Ulta order and ended up with some last minute additions to my cart b/c I'm weak.
Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo & Cond
Tarte Shape Tape
RT sponges
UD Cannonball waterproof mascara
UD Lip Toppers in White lie and fever
Versace Bright Crystal
MR Flawless Matte 2 palette

The last 2 items are gifts, so I don't feel so bad spending $160, since less than $100 is on me.

[Laura Palmer]

So much stuff I do.not.need

Ulta ordered:


In cart at Sephora:

I cruised by Sephora and picked up a safe sun kit (and used some points on more SR Good Genes samples - I may never have to buy it lol). I swatched the Too Faced Natural Love palette and there's a few colors in there that are phenomenal. I couldn't justify spending the money on it though, especially since it's so large. I'm rarely using my Tartelette Pro palette because it's so unwieldy on my small vanity table.

[zoomzoom]

Did Dior discontinue Extase? /devastated

[Laura Palmer]

Gah I added a few more things to both Ulta and Sephora lists before I hit "buy". But this weekend will be a very fun one playing with my new goodies! 

[zoomzoom]

Whelp. Rouge through 2018. Lol. I couldn't resist. Too many temptations.

I loveeee my peach palette! It's pretty much all I've used since I got it.

If y'all need a glitter fix, the new Stila glitters are amazing.

Damn it.  I thought I was done shopping but these look too beautiful to pass up.

[calico]

Damn zoomzoom. Already?

So I'm planning on a huge Ulta purchase. I'd like to try some becca stuff. Favorites? ESF I know you mentioned you like becca products?

I also have 5x points on UD so if there are any must have UD items...mostly I'm thinking lip products? I'm pretty brand loyal for my mascara and foundation (Chanel).

I have two (Diamond Dust and Kitten Karma) and both leave glitter under my eyes. I apply over a primer. Do you have this issue, or what am I doing wrong?

Well, it's glitter, you're going to have fallout. The number one thing you can't do, though, is touch your eyes once it's on.

I'm a big fan of UD's eye shadows and lipsticks. If you don't have one of the Naked palettes, that could be fun. Some singles in unique summer colors like Fireball are also fun. The sheer lipsticks are great (Liar and Shame are my favorites.) I don't have any of their blushes, but I know people are big fans of Rapture. And their primer potion is awesome for all day eye color.

The Becca Backlight Primer is my first, my last, my everything.

The highlighters and blushes are also great, however, nearly everything leans kind of warm, and your skin looks cool to me.  The highlighter in Opal would work well though. I love their blushes too - all the ones I've tried have a nice ethereal shimmer to them. I have Songbird and Blushed Copper and they are gorgeous.  I have swatched Foxglove, which I think would be a really nice color on you.  It's a glowy orchid pink.
