Mine definitely hasn't updated yet. Yesterday it said I had $450 to go to Rouge, and I spent $200 this morning. Now it's telling me I need to spend another $450? I think the system is glitchy today

My purchase:

Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipsticks
Sunday Riley Prismasilk Eye Colors
NARS Cheek Palettes -- Soulshine & Realm of the Senses
Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipsticks
Smashbox Full Exposure Palette
Sephora Pro brushes
Marc Jacobs Beauty Shameless Bold Blush

I thought the point perks were rather decent this time around too.

The systems take 2-5 days to update.
Not necessarily. It told me immediately that I'm Rouge and allowed me to add the gift. The points and dollars needed to hit the next level might take a while to get fixed, but if you make VIB or VIBR, it seems like it should tell you right away.

According to Sephora's beauty talk section, a bunch of people are missing points today or didn't reach a status that they were supposed to. I guess the system is messed up across the board

It only happens if you make a single purchase for the total you need for rouge. If you make several purchases it would take it a while to updated your status

So I decided to just go to the store and get what I wanted since there are a million Sephoras in this city. I'm actually glad that I did because it gave me a chance to check things out in person.



I'm wearing the NARS lippie right now.. it's Christina. I like it but I'm not in LOVE with it. It may be because I'm wearing eye shadow that doesn't really compliment it at all. LOL!

I'm still debating over two brushes and the NARS ONS palette. Some of those blushes looked heavenly, but the pink matte blush was a little more PINK that I like and the bronzer wasn't dark enough for me. I still think I may get it though.

Really liked the Give Me Some Lip set in person. The actually had an even bigger one with MORE lippies called Give Me More Lip, but it looks like it's sold out on the Sephora website.

The store was packed but the line moved quickly and every one ws very helpful. They were handing out chocolates and mini lattes. It was cute. And of course I got the tote bad as well.

That's so cute! I loved visiting Sephora in NYC. I'd love to have a local store I'm loyal to. The Give Me More Lip set was so tempting to me! It's actually good for me that it's sold out.

The bigger set had an OCC lip tar in it! I was sooo tempted! I still am actually. I'm just... thinking.

I got the UD Anarchy face kit and the mini OCC liptar set. I wanted more but too many polishes to buy elsewhere!

Paula's Choice launched a new refer a friend program :D Existing customers get 10$ off for each new customer and new customers get also 10$ off their first purchase =) Here is my link: http://bit.ly/17baFJF And they have now 15-50% off some items, check the sale section ;)


I'm kinda happy the give me more lip set sold out, because it was sooo tempting.. But I checked swatches and at least half the colors would look bad at me, but it was still tempting >.<

I was just looking at swatches. I'm ok with not getting it. I'm happy with the smaller one, it's cute.

If you're not feeling it, definitely save the money. But if you're interested in Spellbinding, here's the post that sold me on it: http://www.perilouslypale.com/2013/...book-holiday-2013-photos-swatches-review.html The colors are layerable! I haven't tried that before and that's a fun idea
Ok, sold! And I didn't even know I wanted it! On to the bad news, by the time I placed my order this morning the hourglass powder palette was sold out! I hope I can find it in store. :(

I got the Tarte eyebrow gel, MUFE shadow #92 (needed a new one), Too Faced Glitter Glue and a Sephora nail polish. I like my little haul. Looking to buy more before the sale is over. Probably some brushes.

That daggone ONS palette is haunting meeeeeeee!!!! Why why why did I go in there and swatch it. It's been hours and I'm like should I? Shouldn't I? Yes? No? I know good and well y'all are gonna say yes, because you are all enablers!!! Is there anyone who doesn't like the palette? Talk me out of it, please! LOL!

Just placed my order! I'm now officially skipping RiRi Holiday, and all its inevitable drama! No-buy starts now until the MAC Dec. 26 Collections release. My Sephora F&F Haul: Hourglass Veil Primer OCC Lip Tar Mini Set (for my little sis who keeps trying to nab my BMD) Living Proof Style Extender (love this stuff!) Dr. Dennis Gross Eye Serum Clarisonic Acne Brush Heads (4 pack) (giving 2 to my older sis for her Clarisonic I got her last Christmas) Sephora Brush Shampoo NARS Coeur Battant Blush NARS Train Bleu Lip Pencil

So far I got:

  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Cookie Crunch (Golden Brown Shimmer)
  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Hold Me Tight (Pinkish Plum Shimmer)
  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Dying For Shoes (Black Plum Shimmer)
  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow in Purple Rain (Purple Matte)
  • SEPHORA COLLECTION Colorful Eyeshadow Custom Palette Case 6 Pan ( this was free with 4 shadows)
  • NARS Blush in Coeur Battant
  • BITE BEAUTY High Pigment Pencil in Violet

I got all of this in store. I went in to swatch the SMASHBOX Full Exposure Palette and my store didn't have it even though the website said that they did. Now here's my conundrum. I love the color and the feel of the Bite Lip pencil but I don't like the smell. I thought I would just suck it up but as I've been wearing this today I keep getting distracted by it. I guess because of a person's lips being right under their nose there is no real way to escape this. I will be making another purchase for sure.

I stuck to skin care stuff for now...I wanted my first Clarisonic but I wasn't sure if I should wait until Black Friday. Is that a good time to buy it?

My haul for now:
Claudalie Vinoperfect radiance serum (acne scaring on my cheeks are pissing me off so i hope this works)
Kate somerville exfolikate intensive exfoliating treatment
Shiseido the makeup facial cotton (my cotton pads seem to be a bit harsh on my skin lately. I'm red once i apply my toner so i'll give these a try)
Murad Skin perfecting lotion for blemish prone/oily skin.
