Black Friday 2012!!!

[Adrienne]

I'm just not feeling any of these deals this year. I did end up getting two items from Ulta from Friday (a Bare Minerals $10 set and the Smashbox brushes for 19) and I saw the email for the Nars Cyber Monday and went, "meh." It took me all morning to decide whether I really wanted anything from Nars and ended up ordering the Copacabana Illuminator that I've been lemming since I missed out on it on the Sephora FF sale plus it had free shipping.

Just got my BI gift card in the mail /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> it's $15 of $50; just like last year, you can use it on online purchases under $50. Although it says it's only valid Nov. 29th to Dec. 10th, I tried it out now and it works!

BTW, EcoTools is having 50% off sitewide + free shipping. The 6-piece eye brush set is only $4: http://www.ecotools.com/bamboo-6-piece-eye-brush-set (these are the best drugstore-brand brushes I've tried).

Is that for VIBs or regular BIs?

I'm $83 shy of VIB status...sighs.. I am going to try and resist because I really don't need to buy any more stuff this year lol... But if I stocked up on Clarisonic brush heads and my fave oil cleanser..argghhh!

I just used my vib one. Got OCC black dahlia & OPI polish for $11 plus another mystery bag.

I need to be done now. I told my hubby last week that I was only going to indulge @ saucebox. I ended up ordering from haute look, kiehl's, bumble & bumble, zoya (twice), coterie (twice), sephora (twice) & saucebox cosmetics.

I got really good deals but it adds up!

Also the holiday glam girl mysery bag from sneakpeeq & a caramel apple cider diamond candle. Yikes!

haha you know you won't resist /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Sephora is tricky like that...it makes you want more and more...I got back to the US in October and before October 8th I was not up here...ever since I started shopping at Sephora and got VIB on November 22nd...yes that means I spend over $350 at Sephora in a bit less than 2 months...

Great find! I already have a handful of EcoTools brushes though so I won't be getting them. They are nice to have around though!

Guuurrrlll why would you say that here you know none of us are going to tell you not to go for it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> You should at least try and wait for the BI codes to come out so you can save a few extra dollars, if you can ^___^

Haha, if we all weren't on this forum, I'm sure we'd all be saving so much more money. ^~

You may officially consider yourself COMPLETELY responsible for my first (only so far...you broke the seal) Cyber Monday purchase of the year. :beer:

Lol.. I'll probably be putting an order in at the last minute.. then NO more! At least until next year! Ha, it's super tempting and other than my BB points, Sephora is my avenue of choice for buying beauty products... Yes, definitely a bunch of enablers here! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

$83 is so close! & you still have about a month left! Usually, Sephora runs extra 20% off sale items right after Christmas so if that's the case this year. splurge on that to make the VIB so that next year, you would have the $20 GC, the VIB Only 20% off & the August VIB month! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got an umbrella this year for Chic Week & I love it! lol

Does your spending on Sephora restart in January? So if you were just $50 shy from making VIB now but don't make it, would you need to start the $350 spending when it's the new year? I never thought about that until now... I mean, I'm not worried because I made VIB just the other month, but just curious! I think it's for when you spend $350 in a calendar year right?

Yup, it restarts in January, which is another good point! haha.

Yes that is a good reason to just go ahead and spend enough to be VIB! $350 equals a lot of makeup... unless you buy a clarisonic or something. Which leads me to my next off-topic question, do you guys really recommend getting a clarisonic? I don't feel like my skin is too problematic, so it almost seems like a luxury... which I can ask my bf to get me for xmas LOL

yup! of course, I'm not losing those precious points! If he does buy me that, then I will have 500 points!! (and I had just redeemed a 500-point perk a few months ago... Sephora owns my wallet...)

I have a Clarisonic and think it's an overpriced brush..but that's just me..there are some other threads where it was talked about and you may find better insight there.
