Thank you [MENTION=92925]boschicka[/MENTION] ! Yeah...color me unimpressed.

Ulta also announced it's 21 Days of Beauty dates (Sept 2 -22). There is a rumour a 20% coupon will also be offered. So while there are things exclusive to Sephora, many of my list items are available in both. Plus, I have cash banked & a boosted Ulta g/c from eBates. I don't see myself spending a whole lot at Sephora this go around.

I'm going to try the new Fenty primer with this sale. Most reviewers say it's sticky and that's what I'm looking for these days.

have you tried mac prep and prime? it is sticky and holds so well

Yes, thanks.

I used to hear good things about the Nars eyeshadow primer as well but never used it. I've also fallen out of love with UD primer potion.

I actually got a generic invitation (via snail mail) to the upcoming sale with a card to present to get the discount. The horrible sales associates at my local Sephora can’t argue with that lol.

I would give fenty a try if you have the time to work with it. I am usually in a rush, so for me it was not the best. Your experience may be different-a lot of people seem to like it.

In my experience, the NARS primer is excellent especially as I have gained oily lids with age. I never quite took to the UDPP.

I use the Nars primer as well and it is easily my favorite.

Looking like NARS primer ftw then. Thanks ladies!

I received an email notification about the sale today. This is what's in my cart currently:

-Tom Ford Extreme mascara - has anyone tried this? I love Le Volume de Chanel, so that is my gold standard comparison
-PMG lipsticks in Donatella, Valletta, and Sextrology
-Chanel hand cream - anyone tried this? Bloggers like it, but I also would like free Chanel
-Clarisonic replacement brush heads
-Surratt eye shadows in Ombré and Marron
-Sunday Riley Juno
-Milk Kush mascara - also seeking opinions on this
-beauty blender
-Tata Harper Purifying and Resurfacing masks

The only definites are Clarisonic brush heads and the beauty blender. Tata Harper masks I will most likely buy. If I don't purchase the Chanel hand cream then I will possibly choose a different brand. I also will probably get the Juno oil and Milk mascara since I can purchase it in the small size. I'm up in the air about the PMG lipsticks...

I LOVE the original egg hand cream. Also, I tried the Kush mascara & didn't care for it. It smudged & really didn't do much for my lashes, but some people like it.

Thank you! I’ll definitely order the Chanel hand cream. I think I’ll end up passing on both mascaras. I just got back from a stint in Europe and purchased something like 5 Helena Rubenstein mascaras at duty free on my return journey haha

My sale list is pretty small. So far, a few Drunk Elephant products and a Beauty Blender.

FYI....the original UD Naked palette is being discontinued. It's on sale for $27.

Wanted to chime in that NARS now has a new eyeshadow base. Tinted Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, in 4 shades, $26

Not on the Sephora site yet. I am going to hold out on until it is available. I have been using the UDPP in Fix (slight tint and kind of light). I think the tint of the medium NARS would be a better match for me, plus I would really like to try it.

No kidding! Right?! Hand on heart, that was the very first multi-eyeshadow palette I ever purchased! AND I finally tossed it just a few months ago. I held onto it, even though I was not using it...definitely a nostalgia thing!

I want to hold out as well. I want to get the two deeper shades.

I’m trying to get my list together and I too in need of an eyeshadow primer and I guess I’ll wait for the NARS eyeshadow base too as I already tried the primer and wasn’t empressed. My list is realitive small. DE products, Olaplex hair products, Makeup brushes, thus far.

What is your neighboring Sephora? I like the one at The Grove, they’re always nice whenever I stop by.

So quiet. Are there other forums or is everyone on the Sephora boards these days?
