Ok, so my last trip to the mall was 3 weeks ago, pre-surgery. On Friday, my dr gave my medical clearance to drive, so I was so excited......I can go TO THE MALL!! I had some stuff to take back to Macy's and two things to exchange at Sephora PLUS I had to go to MAC and finally get my ART SUPPLIES stuff. So, off to the mall I went.
First stop - SEPHORA. I was jonzin' for the MUFE new HD Blush--after seeing the colors on various Beauty Blogs, I new I had to have it!! I swatched two colors, NIP SLIP (described as a neutral pink) and QUICKIE (a salmon pink)...QUICKIE won the toss and I grabbed the last bottle. Since I have VIB status at Sephora, I found out that I would get 15% off my purchases, so I also decided to pick up the TARINA TARANTINO Fuchsia Revolution Brush set (an early birthday gift) and a cute Tokidoki nail file/emory buffer for my nails. I also got my free Sephora Birthday Gift. YAY
On to Macy's, where I made a quick return, sampled the new Chanel Nouvelle Vague nail polish, which is such a pretty TURQUOISE. I want it SO-badly
, so I'm really gonna have to justify $23 for a bottle. I also tried on some cute Anne Klein flats, but I passed, even though they were on sale.....trying to keep myself in CHECK. 
So, then I'm on to MAC. I had my ART SUPPLIES stuff on hold, which I am glad about, since STYLESETTER had sold out at my MAC store. From AS, I got:
Stylesetter Lipstain Marker
Dirty GPS
Almost Noir-Undercurrent-Petrol Blue and Designer Purple Pearlglide Liners
I also picked up three eyeshadows, Wedge-Greensmoke and Créme De Violet, along with a 188 brush, which I planned to use with my new MUFU HD Blush.
Now, here's where the DRAMA unfolds.......when I'm at MAC, I always drop by bags and purse to play. The store knows this, so they have me stash at the makup station closest to the registers and back room. So, while I was checking stuff out and paying for my stuff, two NERE-DO-WELLS came up and STOLE MY SEPHORA bag and just walked out of the store with it.
I didn't see it happen, but another girl who happend to be there with another MUA saw the whole thing and didn't realize that it was my bag, until I noticed it was missing. We called Mall Security, walked the ENTIRE mall but the THIEVES were gone!! We even went back to the Sephora store, where both the mgmnt there and Mall Security made a list of what was stolen, and Sephora would be on the lookout for it, in case the braniacs decided to try to return the stuff for merchandise credit. 
So yeah.....TOTALLY my fault, and BOY did I learn my lesson. I could just KICK myself!! I finished up at the mall --- had to go to Pandora to have my bracelet fixed....I got it for Christmas and it was tarnishing something FIERCE! They ended up giving me a BRAND-NEW chain, along with cleaning my charms. I also bought myself a "Lost 25 lbs since surgery" charm, so that kinda helped to pull me out of the dumps a bit.
On my way back to the car, I stopped at Sephora to ask them when they would get more stock of the blush in (since I had bought the LAST ONE). The store manager had come out and said how badly they felt about what had happened and that they new how often I shopped there, they wanted to do something for me. THEY GAVE ME A $50.00 GIFT CARD!!! I was able to re-purchase the brush set and they gave me a big SAMPLE of the MUFE blush for me to use, until they get it back in stock. They also gave me another Sephora Birthday gift. SO UNEXPECTED and SO THOUGHTFUL!!
It really made my day so much better than it had been.
Moral of my story.......NEVER PUT THE BAGS DOWN!!!!

sighs! Hope they get caught if they do it again!!! Good thing Sephora was nice to give you a voucher!
I too thought it was above and beyond what Sephora did. Can't say enough nice things about them. Never did hear anything from the mall, so I hope the creeps that took the stuff enjoy it.
