wait this happened before? y'all are going to have me on that site everyday. LOL
LOL! Apparently somebody got hold of a discount code that was supposed to be for attendees for a makeup trade show that hadn't been held yet and word hit IG and the rest is history. I don't think many people outside of specktra knew this time though. At least I didn't see it on blast in IG when I was browsing earlier.

I was up at 3:30am this morning with awful food poisoning. :(

But when I finally stopped being sick I placed an order for just the OH Walnut Scrub and Tarte Holiday Blush Palette. I plan on going in store to pick up more things that don't flash ship (living proof dry shampoo and some nails inc polishes)

CAN I JUST SAY, I'm so mad that I ended up loving LP's dry shampoo. That stuff is amazing. I really cleans my hair and leave no residue. I tried going back to Batiste and just couldn't do it, my hair doesn't feel clean with it. It sucks to pay $22 though. But I'm a grad student with a 35+ hour a week internship so I value my sleep and resort to showering at night and dry shampooing in the morning. So I use it M-F, every week. It's definitely worth it to me, I guess. I just wish it was a little cheaper.

I feel you. I work in education, and mornings are rough, so I shower at night. I use Oscar Blandi dry shampoo and it's not cheap either, but none of the cheap ones work as well for me.

Anyone know if beauty.com, Macy's, or Ulta is getting the UD Naked vault? Or any others? I doubt Sephora is going to restock it.

Crazy thing is it wasn't even a code. It just automatically discounted it.

EXACTLY THIS! You cannot add on charges to an order regardless. They either have to cancel, contact the customer and explain the error or eat it. Which is what they should do, it's their fault the site was discounting, not the customers.
I would think the customers would cancel because they would be getting the short end of this stick.

Agree about their dry shampoo. I bought my first during F&F and bought a backup today. I decided to try their texture mist and style extender since I was so impressed with the dry shampoo. I did a small order online and popped in store during my lunch break. I need to go back again for things I need to color test. I didn't end up getting the Sephora favorites superstars yet.. Having trouble pulling the trigger! Not sure it's worth it. They gave me an empty tote bag in store and the cashier threw a few random Bobbi brown samples into my bag. So not a consistent giveaway. I really hate Sephora lighting. I searched the cover fx custom drops in store and thought g30 was good. When I got to the car the swatch on my hand looked way darker than I thought in store! Agh Hope everyone gets what they want!

Yes, the samples were inside a cute little red bag tied with a red ribbon.. Don't worry - you did not miss out. They were just those one time use samples and it only had what I showed -- which was 6 samples.. two of which were tiny perfume samples.. Truly nothing special.. but it was still a nice touch. I was only expecting the bag and did not even notice it when the girl put it in the bag.. I only noticed the samples when I got home.

The store sale sucked. I didn't even get a tote. I didn't ask for one either cuz I don't need anymore of those totes... I got the following: Sephora Give me More lips set Sephora Dry Shampoo set Sephora Beauty Sleep set Ysl glossy stain in Onde Rose Urban Decay Zodiac eyeshadow Caolion Cool/Warm mask duo Formula X Alchemy 2 Nail Polish Sephora Pro Aibrush 53.5 I think that's it.

@novocainedreams Thanks so much for the heads up on the Nars site!! I ordered Vengeful (thanks to @elegant-one ) and Exhibit-A blush. The only thing I love as much as an orange blush, is a red one!

I've been meaning to get Exhibit-A for a while and the 30% off quickly reminded me of that.

I think EO's picks & swatches generated a lot of interest in Vengeful. Hope you love it too!!!

I placed another order when I notice that Surratt Beauty just released their new Prismatique lipsticks. I don't know much about these and I haven't seen any swatches yet, but I love Troy Surratt and his line so I decided to try out the pink color. I normally don't like sheer lipsticks, but these are supposed to be super special glistening Japanese pigments, so I caved.
These sound great! I checked them out on Sephora.com and there are so many to choose from!

Way too much sparkly goodness for me to handle!

Would it be possible for you to please post a swatch when you receive it? I'd love to see it!

I got everything I wanted/needed from the NARS sale, and maybe an extra item...

I was so bummed about missing the Mr. Rebates on my first order that I called to cancel it just so I could replace the order. And this time around I saw the the MUFE Aqua Cream that's been out of stock for MONTHS was back in stock so I grabbed that sucker quick. Now I just have to go in-store to pick up Benefit Porefessional and I am done done done with hauling. Whew it's been a crazy ride.
I would have done that too!!!! Otherwise you're kicking yourself for days!!!!

This sale was the worst I've ever attended. I ordered most of the things I wanted online but I stopped in store to pick up a fragrance that is OOS online. A lot of things were SO in the store. The Black Up display was demolished and so was the KVD display with the liquid lipsticks, along with a few of the popular gift sets and a few other popular displays but I can't remember which ones they were. In return for the $1,000+ I spent this year, I got an empty reusable tote bag and that was it, no samples included. They just stuck the bag in the regular Sephora bag with my purchase. Way to go Sephora, you really make the people that keep you in business feel real special. I'm really going to make a point from now on to get most of the things that I would normally get at Sephora from Nordstrom and accumulate more points for Nordstrom notes.
