Did you see Colourpop is going to be sold in select Sephora stores? I definitely did not expect that!

This is interesting! 

Dont think it would have occurred to me as a possibility. 

Yes I was expecting Ulta to pick them up at some point. I wonder if they'll stock the cream products since they have such a short shelf life.

I wonder how much the markup is going to be and if that increase will correlate to a price increase on colourpop's site.

I'm very surprised it was Sephora who picked them up, since they don't seem to be the type of brand they would go for.

The article I read (of course I can't find the link now) said the prices will not increase!

I have seen a couple articles about how Ulta is really killing it with growth. I can see why ColourPop would make sense for Sephora - they probably want some drug-store priced products to start getting more budget Ulta buyers in the door.

I read that the CP stuff will also be available online. I'm not the biggest CP fan, but I really adore their eyeliners, so I'm thrilled I will be able to get those and not have to worry about CP shipping minimums. I'd also like the ability to pick up a supershock single for a beach vacation, when I go super lazy. At $6, I can use for a week, then not worry if it dries out before my next trip.

[wawa]

Regarding CP - I want them to figure out how to offer refills of the supershock shadows. Like in little vacuum sealed baggies maybe to keep them moist? The containers are so bulky and it would feel SUPER wasteful to pitch them and buy a new one. I'd much rather just pop in a new pan.

My Hanky Panky dried out ages ago, but I've just kept using it. It kinda works...same with my maybelline color tattoo in bronze. I alternate between the two for my no-makeup makeup daily look. I should stop being such a cheap ass and just buy new ones though.

This is a good point. Seems like they could just figure out how to put a seal on the pan, something that just gets peeled off.

[calico]

wawa , I've been able to "revive" my paint pots and fluid liners with a facial oil. I've heard that inglot makes a product that also does this, but I've never tried it. I wonder if that is something you could do with the CP shadows? I get stuck in this mindset trying to use up all the things and not waste them, so if I can revive instead of re-buy, I try that first.

[persa]

You guys!

I went to Ulta to spend my store credit before I forgot about it, especially since it's 3X points. The guy in front of me was buying some stuff and they asked him if he had a Ulta rewards account or knew someone who did and I jokingly said "I do!" from the line. He tried to give a number of someone he thought had an account but it didn't work so he gave me the points! He spent like $55-give it up for free rewards points!

[persa]

Oh and my Ulta has a new full Nars display. Can't wait till I get my 2000 points and a 20% coupon, it's going to be ON

Yeah the addition of Nars and Mac at Ulta has made me super excited to spend points.

I meant to post a reminder to the board a few weeks ago, but for the last couple years, Ulta did some special 1 day long point event in August where a bunch of stuff was 10X and I think all purchases are 5X. Might be platinum only, not sure. It should be coming up in a couple weeks.

Yeah, i think I'm going to wait to buy some small things then to get my points balance up and then when they have a 20% off coupon, use my rewards then. I think that's the best strategy, right? I think I'll be at like 1950 points with today's additions.

[pierogigirl]

I hit 2000 at Ulta. I don't need anything but I've filled my cart waiting for 20% off. I wish my Ulta had a Mac display. I really want some lipsticks but I've already bought and returned 2 or 3.

[ESF]

OMG this lipstick color. It's gorgeous.

I got my order in from Sephora and the travel size BB cream they sent me was expired. I called the 800 number and they are out of stock, so the guy refunded my money. I opened the BB cream and it def has an off odor. Boooooo!

[wineandcheese]

I got my 20% off coupon this morning from Ulta. I have the lorac pro 3 in my cart so I may actually buy it now.

[calico]

I also got my 20% off Ulta coupon. I wasn't planningon buying anything b/c I don't NEED anything they sell. But I'm not even halfway to platinum yet. So....

This seems to be a really popular color this fall.

I'm loving it cause it looks great on me.

[cottoncandy]

It's the greatest day of the year!! I have 2200 ulta points and the 20% everything coupon. I usually shop online for this, but I may go in store today so I can play with stuff in person.

[ESF]

I'm on a no-buy right now but I couldn't resist the 20% off Ulta coupon this morning. I reordered my usual foundation (EL Double Wear) and now I'm officially platinum.

[Pippin]

I got the 20% off too. I already spent my points not to long ago so I'm just going to grab a backup of my Hey Honey serum and TF Mascara Melt Off. I still have a gift card from xmas and 3x the points so not too bad:)

[veruca5839]

I just placed an Ulta order yesterday because there were a few super sale items I wanted to grab.

And then I got the coupon today. I have over 2000 points so now time to decide what I want to get...

[2curlydogs]

Mad props to the free ULTA tinted eye primer and shadow. That shit didn't budge an inch during my run, even after an 8 hour day.

[bluelikejazz]

20% off coupon here too. I think I want a warm palette, but I can't decide! And probably a BB cream, a mascara, and who knows what else...

[secretlyevil]

I need to be conservative with my 20% off coupon. It seems to me this has happened in the past where I went BSC for the 20% off everything coupon and then a week or so later it was the 10x points day. I'm sure it's all a wash at the end of the day either way you do it.

[pizzanight]

Does anyone have the Melisa Michelle palate? I ordered it last night mostly for the reward as I've been wanting to try some of Ultas house brand stuff. But I'm also intrigued to see if it could cut the amount of stuff in my daily makeup bag since it has eye and face colors.

Yup, thats where I'm at. I need points, not discounts so I'm probably going to hold off for now, unless any friends want me to order something for them.

[calico]

They always have the 10x points day when I'm on f*#$*ng vacation and I never want to order anything because I don't want it sitting by the door for days.

[followyourarrow]

I opened a new TF BTS mascara this morning. I swear it's changed and the formula isn't as good. It's new so it hasn't gone bad. Very disappointing.

[secretlyevil]

I have changed my mind about my DOSE of Color liquid lipstick. After wearing liquid lipsticks for a few days I was anti-liquid lipstick. Today I put on my coral from DOSE. It's so freaking comfortable. Still stays a bit tacky but after the others...I'll take it.
