Awesome! I haven't purchased a Clarisonic yet, still trying to hoard enough points. Be sure to tell us how it works out for you.

Lydia, I really never thought about doing trades until I found this site. I think I will suggest it at our next family gathering. That sounds like it would be lots of fun. Thanks for the suggestion.

You should definitely try it! You get the thrill of trying out new products, minus the price tag! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (I do the same with books and magazines too, and if it's family, sometimes we'll swap foods as well if we get something we dislike, and don't want to waste it...someone always winds up liking it!!) 😊

I had a great mail Monday! I didn't technically purchase any of it, but still! Trades:

-Revlon lip butters in wild watermelon and pink lemonade -Pacifica blood orange color quench -ModelCo party proof lipstick in Kitty -Stila smudge stick -Caudalie divine legs -Versace yellow diamond -Bvlgari mon jasmin noir -Pacifica BB cream And my Nicole by OPI trio from Special K points...nothing exciting on the colors but I always love reds, pinks and blues and yay for free nail polish for buying what I buy anyway!

And my replacement BB came, with the same products as my damaged box, which I was pretty meh about, but I'm glad it was replaced so I can try what I want and trade what I don't /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Those are some awesome trade goodies!!! 😀

I hope you really love your Clairasonic! I adore mine; it makes such an awesome difference for my skin texture and smoothness!!😊 Awesome use of those Birchbox points!! I recently used up some of mine for one of the citrus sprayers to use with lemons/etc when I cook, and really like it!!

Awesome! I haven't purchased a Clarisonic yet, still trying to hoard enough points. Be sure to tell us how it works out for you.

If you get one, I hope you enjoy it! The key is to start out slow; use it maybe twice a week, then gradually build up so your skin adjusts well. I use mine with Aveeno Positively Clear foaming face wash (it's gentle and easy to use with it!). I also really like the Delicate brush head; thinking about trying the Deep Pore one for my nose though!

Ohhh, you got your theBalm order from HL in? I made an order that day too (shoes & theBalm). My shoes came in yesterday but I'm impatiently waiting for my theBalm order!!

 

[ultajunkie]

I received the Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Spellbound and the Tarte Coral Crush Amazonian Clay Eye and Cheek palette yesterday from Sephora yesterday. I did an ELF blush/highlighter/bronzer haul yesterday morning before the 40% off ended so that will be coming, and I am waiting for a few things from Ulta to arrive either today or tomorrow. I am soon off to drop the kids at daycare and I need to run some errands after work today so I will probably look at some drugstore stuff when I go to Walmart and Kmart for the household shopping. I am debating whether or not to make Sept a no buy month because I feel like I have purchased a lot of products in July and August and have yet to wear many. Although truth be told, I think I have enough makeup to never buy another thing for the next 10 years (or more). :-D

Such a pretty group of goodies.  I believe I NEED that BL mascara in my life.

Love your haul!

I haven't bought much in awhile because I bought an airbrush makeup system about a month or two ago. The makeup goes on smoothly and easily and I only need a little bit. It's kind of expensive, but they are always having sales, so I am not worried about it. It's the one on the infomercials, but I bought mine through their website (not a fan of ordering through the TV).

But next on my list is a good eyeshadow palette - maybe Urban Decay? Not sure.

How do you like your airbrush makeup? I've always wondered about them, but since I have a lot of acne scarring I need something with good coverage. 

 

[Sammilicious]

I LOVE it! Seriously, finding something for my issues has been a problem for so long that I just avoided most makeup. But I have found that this really works for me. When I wear it and see someone for the first time in awhile, they always ask me if I have lost weight - and I haven't! It's just that I look so good. You would never guess I have acne, scars from that and other things, etc.

Oh, and I am lazy so being able to be completely done with the face part within a minute or two is just awesome. So much less time using concealer and primer and more concealer.

Is ULTA a friendly store?  I hear everyone talking about it but haven't had the nerve to just go in and shop.  I'll probably max out once I do.

It really depends on the store.  The one near me just opened and everyone there is awesome and friendly.  However, I have heard stories about other Ulta stores where people aren't so nice... Just visit your local one and hopefully you'll find someone great there!

Ahh I was supposed to be on a low buy.. but had an itch to shop recently. 

About a week ago I got a post card in the mail from Macy's clinique counter that said if I came in and brought the post card I would get a full size lipstick in the color All Heart, for free. So I got a free lipstick last week. 

On Sunday from Walmart I bought:

All from E.L.F.

- translucent face powder

- all over color stick - pink lemonade

- blending brush

- bronzer & blush - St. Lucia 

- lip stain - pink petal

Today from Carson's I bought:

- Clinique - stay matte sheer pressed powder - stay buff 

- Clinique - quick liner for eyes - really black

- Clinique - Free gift : Clinique Even better makeup - 02 fair (sample .41 fl. oz.), Clinique soft pressed-powder blusher- new clover (sample .11 oz), Clinique lash doubling mascara (sample size - black, Clinique lipstick - surprise (full size) - Clinique take the day off eye makeup remover (sample), Clinique - step one liquid mild facial cleanser - for combination/normal. 

The sample came in a really cute bag which reminds me of 1960's prints. Its green, orange, pink big flowers.

While at Carsons I did stop at the Estee Lauder counter and got a small sample of double wear foundation in the color : bone. If this foundation sample goes well I plan on purchasing it! This is my 2nd time getting color matched for double wear, last time when I took a sample home I put it on and looked orange. I'm hoping this is better for me. 

Today from Walgreens I bought:

- Rimmel exaggerate undercover eyeshadow primer

- Maybelline - master precise by eye studio - Black

- Maybelline - mega plush volume express mascara - waterproof very black

- Wet n Wild - coloricon eyeshadow trio - soldiers in charms (greens)

I used to love Ulta. I had one really close to me.. I went in there all the time to get my hair cut and then I moved and fell in love with Sephora. 

I'd say go and give it a shot. All in all I think I like Sephora more. I like Sephora's VIB program more than Ulta's rewards. I also like Sephora's brands better. Sephora is much much bigger. One plus of Ulta is it has a salon AND sells prestige products as well as drugstore products. That being said... Walmart's drugstore makeup products with a coupon is impossible to beat in price for drugstore makeup products. I also like Sephora's own line of makeup/brushes much better than Ulta's. 

Customer service is good in both.
