That's awesome---a real win-win!!!!

I ordered from the site several weeks ago and I recall it being relatively quick.

Thanks! That's just what I was hoping to hear. Any stand out products you might recommend?

Thanks! I love doing funky looks.
She got you with the EcoTools brushes too?? Haha. My sister just bought her first highlighter so I'm going to get her some new brushes to go along with her newfound love for makeup.
Haha!! I love you! I tried to attack my fiancé with some of my makeup once, but he's got about a 75lb advantage on me. I lost the battle.
My little sister just made VIB for the first time, it's been a bonding experience. I already told my boyfriend that if I start blogging again, he has to let me swatch products on him. He said as long as I keep it on his arm and not his face, he's good, LOL. I'm working on getting him to do masks with me..

The cleansing water broke me out. The next morning I woke up with a bunch of little whiteheads all over my face. I was on vacation and was thanking my lucky stars I brought my Glamglow mask because it saved me! The PTR will be good if you have dry skin or get dry skin in the winter.
Thanks, maybe the water broke me out too...

After doing so much damage during the F&F sale, I might just pick up one ot two things from the rouge event today. On another note, I just checked the NARS website and its down for maintenance :huh: ... How were you ladies able to place an order??? Re: the HMxBalmain launch--my friend and I went to NJ to shop (wanted to avoid the NYC madness)...we got on line at 4am. My friend was able to score a wristband and she shopped in store! It was extremely organized, she wasnt allowed to touch any of the items while shopping, as they had a store associate escort each shopper around the store and select the pieces the customer wanted. No pushing or shoving or fights of any kind. I wasnt able to get a wristband, but I lucked out shopping on the website and got the items I wanted as well, two t-shirts and the shoes. Its seems 8:20 est was the sweet spot [@]montREALady[/@] b/c thats when I placed my order too! I also just got the shipping confirmation as well :yahoo:
That's great how NJ did it!! It's so funny, my friend who was sweating the collection since forever gave up when it didn't launch right at 8! Me, who wasn't, managed to get what I wanted even while doing my makeup and dealing with my 3yr old, lol. I lucked out with Firefox. She got to work super early to be ready and had it open on her pc and phone then gave up probably right before 8:15! I mean really?? You went that far!! Anyway she ended up getting the dress she wanted and the sunglasses by calling 2 hours later but couldn't get her fur coat. I had them both in my cart for her but H&M wouldn't let me change my bill-to then when I put her card # it said it would charge my pending order on that card too. Which I didn't want. Then the jacket disappeared then the dress. Their online experience is a bit annoying. You can't even return online merchandise in store, you have to mail it. Archaic! So later I called to ask for a friend if they had anything left, the rep told me no. Fine, I hung up. It's so funny how this friend was like "I wanted a dress and it was sold out by the time I looked" all bewildered...she knew since before that she wanted it and didn't realize it was war and you had to have your gameface on by 7:45am or before online :lol: Poor thing. I'm probably more experienced because of MAC, Target designer launches and Sephora Epic Fail :haha: It's a freaking science! Anyway I wanted to go to the one Brooklyn location that got the collection (only 11 in the whole of NYC) which is nearby, and because by now I had buyer's remorse about the tee and sunglasses since I hesitated about the glasses initially and forgot about the tee when I placed my first order :blush: Did anyone realize you can't call their stores directly?? You have to go through the 1-800 #! Anyway I called again (pissed because I was just on the phone with them), this rep told me the stores didn't have anything and if I wanted him to check online. I'm like, "Well no, I just called and the last guy told me there was nothing", he kept insisting so I said I wanted the glasses and tee and he checked and they had it! It was 1pm ET! And he took the shipping charge off before I had a chance to ask about that! I was like wtf in my head. This is one time I wished there was an online survey right after a call! Totally glad I called that time after being pissed that I had to :lol: Anyway both orders shipped, yay! I had a friend that called around noon and got $1200 worth of stuff and the only thing that got canceled off was one of the three dresses she ordered. So they had stock well after stuff sold out online. But man that collection caused an uproar. H&M's FB page was on FYAH!

All my Sephora orders (3 so far) shipped!  And my NARS order shipped....they charged me the discounted total correctly.  No funny business.
Uggh I had shit in my Nars cart with the discount but didn't place the order since I had both kids bday parties at their respective schools yesterday and was running around like a psycho! Then forgot until now since I was exhausted and it's gone. Nothing I needed of course. Did we find out that it was an error?

Yes, someone called and spoke to a rep that said as much. I had things in my cart and was going to wait for some reason, but decided it was probably a glitch since no code was needed, so I just went for it.
As for your items, if they were nothing needed, then I say money saved. It's so easy to go overboard b/c of a discount and end up wasting money trying to save money.

I got into skincare before I got into makeup and I still enjoy trying every skincare product I can get my hands on. For brightening I usually use Vit C serums but figured a brightening mask would be nice. Why are you wary of brighteners, if you don't mind me asking?

Hyper-sensitive rosacea skin that's naturally dried out. I spend my time feeding it to look younger.

My Nars orders shipped & the PayPal authorizations didn't change price!! :yahoo: Oh and I ordered a Burberry blush...at $42 it'll be my one and only lol. I wasn't going to get it b/c of price and the lack of deeper makeup shades, but then i saw they recently did a collab with super model Jourdan Dunn and added a few shades deeper. That was enough for me to justify the purchase! I have my fingers crossed that the color shows up on me!

Mine shipped, too, and with the discount! It will be here Monday or Tuesday! One of my Sephora orders shipped and the other hasn't. Should I be concerned that Mr. Rebates hasn't popped up yet for the one that shipped? It has for my NARS order.

Maybe I'm crazy, but how do you ladies use the LP dry shampoo? It made my hair feel so much worse - more oily and dirty. It feels great for the first 30 seconds and then it is way worse, to the point I can't get my hand through it. Do I just need more or something? How much do you use at a time? I'm almost relieved it didn't work as well as Batiste for me price wise, but I also don't want to waste money on the one bottle I still have!
Sorry to hear that! I lift my hair up by section and spray the roots. Just one pass with the spray per section. I let it sit for a minute and then use my fingers to brush it out. I like it more than batiste and other ones I've tried. I was able to go onto day 3 hair without washing which I haven't done in quite a while since I cut my hair and can't put it up on a bun for "dirty" days! I even got compliments on my day 3 hair which was hilarious because it was mostly hairspray, the living proof dry shampoo, and hope. Lol. I made one online order and two store trips, because one store doesn't carry becca and I wanted to check out the under eye corrector before purchasing. I spent way more than I meant to but some things will go back if I don't love them. I've got: Skin wonderland set Sephora favorites superstars Clinique acne bb cream (loved the sample I had) Custom cover drops Custom cover oil free foundation Too faced grand chateau Too faced mini blush and melted lipstick set Small makeup forever mattifying primer Small nars concealer custard Buxom gel lipstick in guilty angel and sultry mauve Living proof texture mist Living proof dry shampoo Living proof style extender spray Dry bar triple sec Becca under eye corrector Nars audacious Vera and Brigitte Hourglass bronzer flowerbomb Prada candy rollerball I think I'm going to return flowerbomb and repurchase the $50 one when we get the $20 off $50 later this month. I am DONE with this sale!

I think I'll pick up the Phyto duo, one more Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, one more Sephora Collection eyeliner, and possibly a perfume- and then I'm really done.

I already hit Nordie's mascara madness this AM.

Thank you for the reminder!! I almost forgot...picked up a few Chanel mascaras I've been meaning to try. My husband and my wallet may not like me before the weekend is done, haha.

Sooo! Should I get the KVD Mi Vida Loca Remix palette? :lol: I've been set on skipping for so long and suddenly I'm lemming it. I really want a nice warm palette with burgundies and oranges and crease shades. I'd love to get my hands on the morphe 35O palette but the chaos and demand surrounding that palette keeps me away. Plus morphe's shipping is god awful. Any suggestions?

Exactly. The Le Volume Ultra Black had to be mine! Even though I toss mascaras very fast (4-6 weeks, I have personal reasons for it), I'll stock up at Nordie's. I've been using full-size mascaras for the past 3 months after living on samples for 24 months and forgot how much I prefer a full-sized mascara.

I'm off to work and then making one last in-store haul. I placed a quick online order- I forgot that they just got the Tatcha hand cream. That stuff is awesome.
