One more little bit of praise, I Love the CASE. When I said it was nice it was an understatement because I had not put the brushes in. It is a nice sim croc leather but the material is very nice in side it is really made well and you would pay at least 15-20 for the case alone at Sephora. I am now going back to get an extra one for me and one for a Christmas Gift.

I got another set today after I tried them because when I went to ULTA I saw a set with two scrany brushes in a tiny case and they were on special for 15.99!
If I do not get to clean my brushes for a week I like to have enough so I can use a new one every day hence the duplicates.

To answer your question, they were in the heath and beauty section. At one store they were in a display at the front but in another they were stuck in a shelf in the back so you need to look around.

Christian Dior Addict Shine - http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Dior/Dior-Addict-Shine-1513.html

I just *liked* it. I didn't want to not get it. I had to have it. I liked it too much. I couldn't put my finger on what it smelled like, but it smelled like something. I still can't nail it.

Raspberry is the main scent.... with Cedar and Gardenia

Sad that things like that are melted into my brain after working for them for 5 years, lol!!

What's your favorite, most pigmented eyeshadow? Could be drugstore or department store. I've been looking for more vibrant shades and am not sure where to start.

Anyone use Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals? I do not use foundation or a lot of makeup. I love lipsticks and eyeliner...but that's about it. I've seen this advertised a lot...is it hard to use? Does it really cover up the redness/spots?

I thought it would be hard but I found that it covered a lot more and blended better than my liquid foundation. If you have a makeup counter near you, they'd show you how to apply and match your shade for you. You could use the concealer brush to put a larger amount on spots or redness and then use the bigger brush for the rest of your face, but I use a separate liquid concealer. I like how natural BM looks.

Got a card from ULTA today starting Sunday with the card it is 20% off the store but I need to check becuase usually premium brands(anything that is good) is not involved.

(well I mean this is good for normal people not people like CR , and myself) .

I love TiGi's Cyberoptics shadows, for pigment. But they're tough to find: http://shopping.yahoo.com/eye-shadows/tigi--brand/

Urban Decay & Too Faced are rather pigmented in some of the shades, too.

I don't use BE/BM - however I use Everday Minerals, and it's all I use. It absolutely covers.

I know, I know.... but it smells like something I've smelled before, KWIM? I can't put my finger on it.

Love powder foundation. I started with Bare Escentuals and the starter kit had a DVD showing how to use it. I'm not great with makeup so this helped. I switched to everyday minerals a couple years ago and love it.

I can do a quick 2 min face to tone down the redness and even things out or spend a little more time and look really polished.

 

[MickeysMommy]

Thanks for the replies I'll look into Everyday Minerals.

Just a few things not included in the ULTA sale. IF you are a vip member look for your card in the mail. Of course I just spent 138 on sunday! I would have saved over 26.oo!

I just went a little nutso (for me anyway) on the Sephora sale but I did get a lot of Christmas presents!

Anyone else cash in on their code yet??

What are you talking about what code? I did not get any code and I am a VIB customer.

I'm making my list now! I go a little crazy each year and have to admit almost all of it is for me. Easier to justify pretty little things when they are on sale.

As for the question about the bare minerals above I tried it and it made my pores look huge. I wanted to love it, but it just didn't work. I would order if from somewhere that has a good return policy just incase.

WHAT? When did it start? I do not understand why I did not get a code I spend a huge amount every year.

I didn't get one either, went there, and was given one.

They must be on to us. Basically telling us we have too much, as it is.

Started yesterday.

You have to go to sephora.com/friends and enter your email address and you will get a code.

I'm pretty mad at myself because their 100 perk bonus is a Philosophy Purity cleanser 12oz (which is now sold out) but they also have a full size Murad cleanser too! I just skipped because I usually save up for the 500 pt gift because it's better and usually the 100 pt is just a deluxe sample

An Ulta just opened up yesterday 10 minutes from where I live. Oh, this is going to be dangerous!!!!

Of course I visited it, signed up for their card, and spent $80 some dollars!!!! Loved the freebies they gave out at the register!!!!

I bought a Laura Geller kit. Foundation, blush, primer, eye liner, and a brush. Also bought Bare Minerals Buxom lip gloss. Love that stuff!

I never used Laura Geller products before. Can't wait to try it out today!!
