Black Friday 2012!!!

[xlisaa]

I went to Ulta at midnight before my boyfriend headed to work & was waiting outside for an hour. I was sitting in the car for more than an hour until I saw someone stand in line so I was second. It that being said, I was disappointed that they did not have all the items listed, although I called & they confirmed that they had the items on Wednesday. I ended up getting two items, but it would have been nice if I was able to get the other set I wanted. They said if they get it in stock by today, they would call me, but they would not be able to put it on hold? Living about an hour away from that Ulta, that sucks!

Just got back from Sephora. I got an Art of Shaving set for my husband. They substituted since they didn't get the one that was advertised. This one was even better than the advertised one. I also got the Tocca mini rollerball trio and some $5.00 Nails Inc magnetic polishes for stocking stuffers.

Did anyone get the Bite Beauty $10 palette at Sephora?

It's supposed to be great. And the colors look really nice. 

I'm surprised it's still available online.

Bumble & Bumble have a free Shine On Finishing spray ($15 value) and 4 deluxe samples with ANY purchase plus FREE shipping.  Code is BLACKFRIDAY 

They have items as low as $6 on their website.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been wanting to try their thickening hairspray for a while now and this gave me the chance to grab it with a handful of freebies!

I wanted to get some for my husband's daughters but a lady had the last one in her hand when I got to Sephora.

They are still online...I just bought two.

My local Sephora in NYC said that the Bite Beauty was the first to sell out in-store this morning.

I wonder if we should have a monthly haul and monthly favorites thread...but anyway...I started off SO well last night...I only purchased a handful of things from Sephora online and had a pretty good cart going on at Ulta only to close it out and decide that I should behave. That was until late this morning when I decided to turn into the Ulta parking lot to just "look" on my way somewhere else, thinking...they must be sold out of everything so what's the big deal? Um...

The Tarte set was staring at me when I walked in so I thought I would put it in my basket to think about it (Good thing because by the time I got back to the front of the store an hour later...they were all gone...I guess everyone decided to shop at 10 in the morning though they were open since midnight?)...I decided to get two sets of the Real Techniques Brushes because it didn't make sense to get the one set and get a tiny brush for the half off, so I picked up a different set.

Got some hair products and one or two Revlon things along the way and I got lost at some point and came across a NYX display which I just stood and looked at for a while (I'm not one for those everything palettes usually but this looked pretty and I keep hearing about NYX but yet to try it), I started to walk away but then came right back and decided to swatch two or three of the colors and was pleasantly surprised so I decided to get one for my Mom and one for...me. Unless I decide that I should gift it to someone. It is the Smoky Eye Box Palette...anyone try it? I guess it has been out for a long while now but seems cool...

I also ended up going to Macy's for a Benefit set and The Body Shop...I was just there within the week and purchased a bunch of stuff (I'm rediscovering the brand) and so far, really like the things I tried...they have this Chocomania set that makes you smell like Nutella, even though it is just chocolate and their Rose Cream and Mist is amazing. The promo they had for Black Friday was pretty great, especially since I was planning on getting a few things there for some friends.

Okay, sorry for the novel, but I think I needed to share because I have been conservative on the spending for a while and seemed to go nutty this month or something, but I figured much of the stuff I purchased is for gifts, so that should be okay.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone elses hauls...

Im still trying to figure out how much damage I did..... I first started off on wednesday with 2 orders for birchbox.com because of their 25%off code. Then I popped into ulta and saw that they had the benefit kit on sale, and it was wednesday (the kit being the fa la la flawless set ) and bought that. Then on thursday placed an order at ulta.com for the tarte blush set for $22 and a mini primer trio for $9. Then I bought 8 of the sephora BF $10 deal (so disappointed in myself) 1 purity, 1 josie maran, 2 buxom, 2 Tarte and 2 Lorac. Today, I went into sephora and bought 2 more purity, 1 more buxom and 1 bare minerals set. Then a few minutes ago I just signed up for glossybox using their BF code.....My wallets bleeding money right now.... I want to pick up some butter london polishes on coterie's website and some sedona lace brushes, but I HAVE TO STOP!!!!

Did you happen to get the shine spray in your cart at checkout? When I first visited the page it said free shine spray with every order, but when I got my confirmation it wasn't in there. Maybe they'll just add it into every box..

For me, it was replaced by Surf Spray! I'm actually really excited about that one though! It has the same value as the Shine On that was to be given.

I had to refresh my Sephora page for an hour and missed out on some of the deals.. but I got the Tokyo Milk and Buxom set! That gave me something to do while waiting the hour and half to check out at Target! Lol.. so I had to run into my Sephora JCP and stocked up on 3 Philosophy washes...my wallet is dry, no longer bleeding! Started shopping Thursday night and finally finished this morning...yikes!

 

[Totem]

I can't find anything on the Bumble site for $6.

 

[deactivateduser232015]

Is anyone thinking about getting the $19.50 Too Faced grab bag on Monday morning? I'm mostly kind of peeved that it starts at 12 midnight PST )< That means I have to set my alarm clock to wake up and place the order and then go back to sleep. Boo.

Prep Spray! There are a few items that are $7-$9 as well. I grabbed the Thickening Spray because I know it's something I'd love to use (even though you get a deluxe sample with the Black Friday offer)!

An easy way to check out prices is just to go to Sephora.com and look at the Bumble and Bumble brand page. Arrange the products by price (low to high) and you can figure out which product to grab with the deal!

Where's the link for it? Do you have to be a subscriber? Thanx

I caved at 3pm and purchased the Urban Decay Super Saturated Lip Pencil set of 7 for $49. Glad I did! When I was checking out it said only 3 were left and a few mins later they were out of stock! I had never noticed an inventory count when ordering before on UD.com....weird. I also grabbed the last deluxe shade I need (that isn't permanent now) for $8 but got to use one of my $5 coupons. If UD has any other sweet promos soon I'll pick up the other deluxe shades I need to complete my collection (Peace, Scratch, and Fishnet). I also need the older discontinued ones that you can find on allcosmetics still... Other recent buys: Birchbox order with 3 One Love Organic body oils (the set + a rose one) with points and 25% off it was reasonable. Also ordered a set of the mini Carol Daughter Shea Soufflés (like we got in Glossybox) since they were discounted. I keep it by my computer for hand lotion and like the size/product. The only other thing I really want is a Josie Maran lotion set on her site that is heavily discounted. Will order after the in laws leave as a reward for getting thru this holiday, lol. Then a NO BUY until my bday unless Sephora has a money coupon for VIBS or if UD hoos us up with something way sweet like they did with the free palette two weeks ago.

Glossybox is fun...I think you'll enjoy it. I wanted to try some newer brushes that wouldn't be insanely expensive and Sigma has some cool looking Sigmax ones but I am not getting them for now. I have some MAC and BE ones from long ago and they are good because I take care of them but I wanted something softer since I am changing my whole routine lately. I did purchase one Real Techniques recently and it's soft, but still need to use it with product. I'm hoping I'll like the ones in the sets since Ulta has those and Eco Tools under B1GO half off. The Tarte kit is a great deal, excited to try it! I will be staying away from it all on Cyber Monday...I think.

I totally need to stay away from cyber monday! The sigma brushes are pretty expensive when you think about it. My favorite brushes are tartes, BE(i prefer their synthetic ones, they last longer. I used to use BE for 6 years straight and the one thing I hated about their line is the brushes because they shed way too much. The synthetic BE brushes are harder to come by though.) I also like sephora I.T. brushes, the ones with the pink or purple handle. Urban decay brushes are nice but pricey. Some really good affordable brushes are elf, they are decent and the studio ones are better/ still affordable. I really love sonia kashuk brushes,They are cheap, especially if you get them on clearance,and they are pretty good quality

Does this count for Black Friday hauls? I cannot think of anything to buy except waiting for Cyber Monday!
