Sephora Friends & Family- what are you getting?

[anna7602]

I don't think this happens in the U.S. until November, but it starts here tomorrow (9/28). I want to know what's on everyone's list.

[evans]

Nice you get it early! Here's what I've been eying (eyeing?). I'm sure more will come later.

Tarte's LipSurgence Holiday collection: www.sephora.com/5-piece-lipsurgence-collector-s-set-P376088?skuId=1468396

Urban Decay's Mushroom eyeshadow: www.sephora.com/eyeshadow-P309813?skuId=1402387

[Kore]

Tarte really brought it with the holiday collections this year. I want the lipsurgence set evans posted. Also considering:

Blush set: www.sephora.com/fantastic-foursome-4-piece-amazonian-clay-12-hour-blush-enthusiast-set-60-value-P376019

I haven't been very into makeup lately (sad!), so there's nothing I'm really longing to get.

ooh, those might make my list!

[cjeanette]

Do any of you who have strong relationships with your sales rep (coughmfluderandkorecough) know when exactly F&F will be?

[StJess80]

I am getting the UD Vice palette.

LOL. :heart:

Looking at Oct 20ish range, out of consistency with previous years.

I'm thinking:
Sunday Riley Blushes (depending on my trial run of blushing)
Maybe try out some becca items

But really not sure - strangely.

Right? That price! Even if they're smaller, no biggie. It's not like I'll ever hit pan.

Its for blush addicts!

I want a train case of nothing but blushes... Next goal lol.

Shit, I kind of want that and am seeing a strong probability of not waiting till F&F. MM fail. LOL.

[Kore]

Haha! I have a 10% VIB you're welcome use

LOL. I just used mine on the Sunday Riley blush, so I think I can't use it (since I already used on on my account). Thanks!

I usually just stock up on the boring stuff I run out of during the year -- the eyeliner I use every day, Clarisonic brushes, refill for my shower filter...

I think I'll be just about out of foundation at that point and I don't love the one I'm currently using, so I think I'm going to take the Armani Luminous Silk plunge. Does anyone who has tried it have rants/raves?

What have you been using before?

I have the Armani and really like. It's a great finish - and some of the best lasting ability (at least on my face). To me it feels like it has primer (silicone) built in. Very nice.

I also highly recommend dolce & gabbana foundation. The one that comes in a pot (which I avoid, usually because that means its super moisturizing or something, but really, its a great finish).

Personally, I'm all for asking for samples from counters for these. I feel like wear is so individual.

I used to use (and loved) Teint Innocence by Chanel. It was discontinued :-( So I'm now using Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua and I like how it works, but it is too runny (so I have to use more than I want to, plus it isn't great for humid days) and the bottle is ridiculously annoying to use.

I have very dry skin and want a foundation that is somewhere in the light to medium coverage range.

[StJess80]

I need to spend $12 to hit VIB for another year. I'm thinking that's doable.

My insider sources tell me early Nov.

[protozoa]

I've been resisting Naked 2 so I was thinking that. But now I want the Vice palette as well. Trying not to spend too much. If I ask my mom for one for Christmas she'd probably get it for me. Decisions...

[nsl]

I'm definitely getting the new YSL Touche Eclat illuminating foundation, the Tarte blush set (as a gift for my sister), the Tarte liner set, and probably the Stila liner set as well. Beyond that, I'll probably get some replacement heads for my Clarisonic and some more Clinique moisturizer.

Okay, yeah, Vita is runny and just sort of "sat" on top of my skin. Lovely finish, but didn't work for me (of course, its still in my set lol).

This is harder because your skin type is different than mine, but I'd consider trying Armani, D&G still, along with nars sheer glow. Good luck!

. How do I find out how much more I need to spend? I show 440 points in my bank but can't remember if there is carry-over... do I need to count up all my purchases for the year? I want VIB status!

[Deleted]

Is F&F 20% on one item only? Is it only for the VIBs or any with he frequent shopper cards?

[nsl]

Last year the November F&F was a code anyone (I think) could use on as many purchases as they liked within the stated window. There was a second VIB sale in January/February that had a unique code that (again, I think) could only be used once.

It was the other way last year:

Last year (for the first time) F&F was a one time code (you entered an email address and code a personal code) www.temptalia.com/sephora-friends-family-sale-2011

There VIB sale was in November last year, and you could use your code multiple times (at least in store). www.temptalia.com/sephora-vib-20-off-sale-for-november-10-14-2011

[Kore]

They can tell you in store, but I don't think you can tell online. Unless you add up your purchases for the year.

I got VIB again with my purchase a couple weeks ago, so I'm good through 2013. I swear I haven't spent $350 since Jan 1, but I'm not complaining I'll have to look & add my shit up.

In France, F& F is for as many items as you want. I think you can use the code multiple times, but I need to double check.

They had a thing in the spring where you got a certain % discount if you hit different price points, so 30 Euros= 10% off, 50 Euros= 15% off and 75 Euros= 20% off total purchase. Plus you always get 10% off one item after every four individual purchases (no matter the dollar amount) you make.

There's no item you can trade points for, though. And I don't know yet if they have a birthday gift (I haven't had a b-day yet this year).

I used to use the Teint Innocence as well. I was then using the Givenchy. Try the YSL Touche Eclat. Seriously, I'm in love.

[ejpint]

I'm mostly stocking up on necessities.
Origins toner and cleanser
Too Faced tinted moisturizer
Maybe a couple of new brushes
Not very exciting!

[cjeanette]

I think I need to finally replace a brush set I have had since 2008....

[StJess80]

They can tell you in the store, but I added mine up by myself.

Should I just add up this calender year so for?
