Black Friday 2012!!!

[lovelywhim]

$29.03 is the total of my Black Friday "haul" lol

I took advantage of the deals that Kiehl's and Bumble & Bumble offered. I also ordered the discounted December Glossybox.

I thought about grabbing some of the items from the Sephora and Ulta sales but decided not to in both cases.

I'm very happy with what I was able to get though! And so is my wallet!

Beauty.com -  12/12/12 only happens once a century and to celebrate, Beauty.com is offering 12 items from across makeup, skincare and hair categories on the site for just $12. Available exclusively on December 12thwww.Beauty.com

I'm adding this so one of us will remember this when it comes up. Beauty.com/Drugstore S&H is always free with any $25 purchase.

Yes, I am very interested in it since I haven't tried Too Faced before.  I am worried about the value, though.  Is it REALLY $97 worth?  Or will we just get a $18 eyeshadow, a $20 primer, and something else?  I would love to be blown away.

Spending spree--on myself.  Haven't even started shopping for gifts yet.  Birchbox shop 25% off: Boscia BB Cream, 2 Shea Terra body butters.  Sephora: 2 Ole Henriksen sets, Tocca set, ITKIT #1.

Bumble & Bumble and Kiehl's too (I justified these since I'm replenishing items I'm almost out of anyway). And I bought a 2nd Nov Glossybox (since my 1st is a Refinery 29).  

I fully admit it--I am ridiculous.  There is only so much face, body and hair I have to apply products on.  And yet....

I've never done any intense 3-AM black friday shopping, but I did drop by the mall at 9 AM. I browsed everywhere but couldn't find anything--probably because I've done most of my gift shopping online. LOL the highlight of my trip was grabbing a pair of super-soft fleece pajamas at Target on the way back /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. 

Though, if I go to the city I know I'd for sure do some major damage--there are two enormous 3-story Forever21's a couple blocks away from each other, and two H&M's /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I did snag 5 of the Sephora black friday deals online, so I'm content.

If I have money to spend and want to grab new clothes, Forever 21 and H&M are the two stores I go to the most as well! Conveniently, they are neighbors at one of the local malls.

Where can this be found?

The Kiehls orange flower and lychee body cleanser is the best in this scent! I got to try their deluxe sample from my BB in October and I fell deeply in love!!  I am waiting until it runs out and then I will purchase the full size STAT! 

 

[deactivateduser232015]

Just got the email for the Sephora mystery ... they had brands on the bottom and some pictures of brands/samples so maybe those are some of the things we can expect?



It looks like there's a Buxom mascara, a versace perfume, an origins face wash, a NARS ... something...tube, benefit belle bamba. It seems like it might actually be a nice bag, depending on what you get and are looking for

crap I think i might've posted this in the wrong thread about the sephora cyber monday mystery bag. haha so many holiday deals threads going on right now /o

Where do I find info re: the Too Faced grab bag?

Temptalia and some other sites posted about it -- I'm not on the mailer so I don't have info about it though :C

Supposedly the only info about it is that there's a mystery grab bag that's going to go up on the site at 12 am PST (3 am EST) that has $97.50 worth of contents for $19. If you go through ebates, supposedly that's also 12% back so you save another $2.28... so not bad.I

I don't have too much faith these are going to be particularly large samples or it's going to be a few fullsized items. For example, the Too Face Beauty Editor Darlings collection is supposedly to be valued at $58 and if you've ever seen it in a store, they basically are deluxe sample/travel sized items. If we can get about ~9 those to add up to the $97.50 value, though, I feel like it'll be a cool mystery bag still.

I got the Best-selling basics from Ulta on Friday ($18 for a full sized primer, lipgloss, and bronzer). I'm hoping there's going to be some makeup in this grab bag 8DD

Thank you so much! This is VERY helpful!

Appreciate it!

Thanks Kyuu!

I already ordered a Sephora Under Wraps mystery bag earlier today.  I will post pics when it gets here /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am a skincare fanatic and my post-Thanksgiving shopping includes:

- Sephora: Ole Henriksen, Boscia, Lorac, Tarte and Art of Shaving (this set was in-store only) sets, Lasting impression kit #3

- Kiehls: gift set for a friend that was dog-sitting for us

- Nordstroms: Kiehl's set 

- Glossybox: December box

Do you ladies think that the VIB perks have been getting better or worse over the past few years?

I'm $120 away from being Sephora VIB next year.  I know I'll make a purchase when Sephora e-mails us the $15 coupon in December.  I've never been VIB and I'm wondering if it's worth attaining VIB status (though earlier I did serve as an 'enabler' when someone asked if they should spend $80 more to get VIB 

).  

 

[wishingwillow]

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but Tarte.com also just added a bunch of products to their sale section. They have multiple color variations of this assortment for $35 ($197 retail value in product). I have been wanting to pick up a second one of their eyeliner pots so for not much more $$ I got some fun new products to try.

they're giving out $15? I though that was only for VIBs?

 

[reet]

I think it is worth becoming a VIB. From what I remember, VIB's get a $20 gift code, and normal BI's get $15. Also, VIB's get emails about upcoming free gifts with purchase before anyone else, and there are also VIB-only gifts such as the VIB clutch that was offered some time ago. I feel somewhat guilty for spending $350+ at Sephora this year... but maybe it's worth it... or maybe I have a makeup/skincare shopping problem /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
