Holiday Sets: When are they revealed?

[eastofthesun]

I need you all to keep posting about your holiday purchases and pictures and whatnot.  I'm living vicariously through all of you right now as I'm pretty certain that effective Oct 31st I'll be out of a job.  :scared:   Who needs to eat?!  Electricity is overrated!  i just want to buy things!

Awwww, Kimberly! That's awful, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hey girl, to cheer you up, when I get my Mega Pro in the mail, I'm going to make a Mega Pro thread where we post all sorts of looks we made using it.

I had the most amazing shopping experience this weekend - I had fun fun fun while going broke broke broke!  And it was so worth it!  My holiday 'purchased list' goes a little something like this (not all from this weekend, but over the past two weeks...yeah...I totally caved!):

Tarte

Pin Up Blush palette

Away Oui Go! (this one I got early - a month or so ago)

Bon Voyage!

Pigment of Imagination

Exposed! (got this with Away Oui Go!)

Too Faced

La Belle Carousel

Under the Mistletoe

Natural Eyes palette

Urban Decay

Naked Basics 2

Bare Minerals

In the Spotlight

Magic Act

Macy's large color palette

EDIT:  I forgot Benefit

Cheeky Sweet Spot

Stocking stuffers galore (L'Occitane, Josie Moran, Soap  & Glory, Alterna...etc.) Now I just need to find a stocking to stuff! LOL!

Great haul!!!! Wow! That is a dream haul! You are going to have so much fun!

Quick question- when you say you got Tarte Exposed with the Away Oui Go set, what do you mean? Did you just buy it at the same time, or did you get it as a gwp or what?

I hope everything works out!  My husband lost his job at the first of the month so I've had to put my spending on hold as well.  I would also much rather buy makeup than food but my kids don't feel the same way!  Keep your chin up and I'm sure it will all be ok. :hugs3:

Thank you soooo much for you opinions @@Shalott and @@SaraP !!!  I definitely think Vice 3 is out and want to get something with more variety and bang-for-your-buck /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have very limited experience with Tarte and Too Faced, so it was nice hearing your opinions on them!

Of course, I woke up to an ulta 20% off code, which pretty much throws a wrench in my plans. Total game changer LOL.

Unfortunately that Ulta coupon is only good for 10% off "prestige" brands and Ulta considers UD, Tarte, and Too Faced to be prestige -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got really excited about it until I read the fine print.

mine works for 20% prestige brands as well. they probably sent different coupons? i tried it on my cart, and it works just fine (for 20% off UD, benefit, etc).

 

[SaraP]

Tarte has 15% off until tomorrow with TREAT15, and ebates has 4% back.

Seriously?!  I'm platinum with Ulta I wonder why my coupon isn't as good as yours.....

 

[tweakabell]

If you use it online, last year it wasnt prorammed to separate drugstore and prestige and it took 20 off all

What Tweakabell said. Heheh, I was coming here to say the same thing. In stores it doesn't work, but online it worked for me last spring. I got 20% off the prestige brands.

my fine print says this: 

+Coupon offer valid on all regular price and sale merchandise and on any one service at THE SALON™, excluding hair extensions (THE SALON™ offer is valid for all guests on one service only). Not valid on fragrances, Lancôme, Clinique, Dermalogica, Beauty Steals and Benefit Brow Bar Services. Cannot be redeemed for cash or gift cards. This offer cannot be combined with any other ULTA coupon offer. Not valid on prior purchases. Void if copied or transferred and where prohibited by law. May be used on a single purchase and is limited to stock on hand. We reserve the right to limit quantities to normal retail purchases. Limit one per customer, per visit. Please check ulta.comfor your location details. 

so i think the 20% off should work online or in store

 

[Bikerchic]

My coupon is definitely different.  I'm too lazy to screenshot it but the fine print says 10% off prestige cosmetics, skincare, and haircare and 20% off everything else. 

 

[Kelli]

I looked at the fine print on mine and it didnt seem to exclude prestige. There are some good deals on drugstore stuff that I'd add anyways (BOGO Freemans masks!!), so it will sway me away from Sephoria and their exclussive items either way haha

I believe when I used mine last spring it didn't say anything about 20% off prestige brands. Just load up your Ulta cart, apply the coupon, and see if it gives you 20% off prestige brands. If it doesn't, boo, but if it does, well.... WHOOOO!

 

[nolongeravaliable15]

Mine is also 10% off prestige. I just tried it online and it only takes 10% not 20. I wanted to split up a big order with sephora since I get double points for my birthday month oh well, I'll get just everything from sephora with a friends and family code.

 

[Emuhlyy]

Weird, I loaded up my cart and it took 20% off everything!

 

[tweakabell]

I think we found if we mixed drugstor and prestuge it would do 20 they might have fixed the bug though

Some new Bite Beauty minis/duos: http://www.sephora.com/mix-n-mingle-lip-minis-P390694?skuId=1628247&om_mmc=oth-bt-richlinks-2013

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Is this new? I know that had the sets of three minis, but I didn't see the twelve pack before!

Might have to add this to my F&F sale haul...

Good point- that might have been what did it.

Hang on a tick- in chatting about this, I forgot to ask the most important question: Why have I not received a 20% off code yet? I'm a Platinum member.... I want my code, goshdarnit!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Have you guys just been receiving them randomly through email or what?

Oh, those are super cute! I might have to get one of the lipstick duos!

Very nice, though I don't think I'll pick it up since I have just gotten the primary pack. I love Sebastian though. That and Grandma.

I'm not sure if any of these are new, so I'll just post them just in case:
