I bought the new Balmsai palette from theBalm.  I'm still not sure why.  The last thing I need is more neutrals.  It's like I had a sudden case of clicky hands.  Now I'm debating on the Too Faced carousel from the Holiday 2014 collection.  I really don't need it, but I want it.  Must...stay...strong!!!

 
I just had to get this fluffy cardigan from H&M yesterday. I think I'll pair it with a pair of light blue jeans, a white lace top, some black ankle boots with an everyday heel, a black crossbody bag and a silver statement necklace. My boyfriend and I agreed to spend some money on new clothes later this month, finally!

So pretty!

 
Today I finally used my Ulta 20% off on

  • OPI Expert touch nail polish remover
  • Zoya Neve
  • Remington 1.5 inch curling wand
And went to Target to get

  • A new Sonia Kashuk makeup bag
  • Aussie hairspray
  • Yes to Coconut makeup cleansing wipes
This weekend I got a new Fossil purse from Macy's during the Labor Day sale...I got the new makeup bag to go with this purse, lol. 

Dang this thread feels like a confessional!

 
Amiclubwear had a 50% off sale recently, so I splurged a bit and finally got some new shoes lol.  Anyway, here's a photo of my finds:

I was so bad yesterday. I had to return some things that either gave me bad reactions or just didn't work for me at Sephora and Ulta. Neither store credit lasted for more than 10 yards. 

Also, my Back2MAC lippies came in! So... yesterday was beautylicious. I think I had better not come home with any more bright orange or black and white striped bags for a while because Hubby's head might explode.

ANNND, the clerk gave me another set of VIB coupons. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :D 

 
@gingerneko...did you say VIB COUPONS???? Where do you get those???
When you make VIB, they usually send you a little cardboard welcome kit with one coupon for 10% off any one order, a coupon for free shipping on any one order, and a coupon for a free makeup consult. I got one months ago when I hit VIB, and the nice young lady in SiJCP gave me another one yesterday, completely unsolicited. Probably due to the $150 I dropped without blinking. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It won't every time, especially at the same store, but occassionally I used to tell the girls inside Sephora that I had forgotten my VIB coupon and they would give me one. Once they see you're VIB Rouge, though, I think you're SOL, -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Oh, ok thanks. I think it was the reference of "coupons" that got me all excited! Hahaha. I didn't use my 10% at first but was able to use it in-store recently, and I was VIB in May. Do you get another 10% when you make Rouge? I never thought to ask...

EDIT: I meant to post that Lands End has 20% off entire order through 9/15 with code FALLBREEZE and PIN 1755.

No, you don't, you get the Rouge gift instead. A coupon would be nicer though....

I've been grabbing some great deals on Tarte cosmetics!!  I received these from various places (HauteLook, Ulta, Sephora, Tarte online, etc) and here are some of the items (tried to stack so it is kind of hard to see some of the palettes (and I'm sorry they are sideways):

Got in a Sephora order today.  Sadly I think the nail polish is going back.  It looks like another color  I have in Sephora Forumla X on with glitter.

Since my poor mo-buy has fluttered out the window, I ended up picking up one of the new Gucci eyeshadow duos. I was quite proud of myself, I went to the website and was wholly unimpressed by most of what I saw! So I passed on all the lip products as well as most bushes and the shadow quads, but I did get:

- Magnetic Color Sadow Duo in Azalea

It looks like a nice combo of copper and plum that is right up my alley. I am eager to try the formula! And speaking of new shadows, I've also purchased the Charlotte Tilbury quad in The Rock Chick. I am so excited to try this one, because the shadows look to be more grey-toned versions of the shadows that came out in Tom Ford's She Wolf trio, which I love and am currently hoarding. So, super hopeful that these CT shadows can fill in!

And then I've just bought some other odds and ends, Vice3, Too Faced Everything Nice set, Laura Mercier Caviar Stick  Minis set.... argh, I don't think there is anything left for me to buy!

Edit: Ha, ha, Mo-Buy. That's a shopping Freudian slip if there ever was one!

Wow, I love tarte and that haul is making me drool right now.  Are those the Amazonian Clay foundations in the top pic?  I love that foundation and could use more, if it's on sale I want to snap some up!

I do have the 3rd shipment of the Colored Clay TSV from QVC coming in October and I also picked up 2 of the mascaras during the Ulta sale on Sunday, so I'll be well stocked but I'm still coveting your buys :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What did you find on sale at Ulta and Sephora exactly?  Sadly my nearest Sephora doesn't have an in-store sale section.

The top pic - two big boxes on the left - are actually creme shadows in purple and pink.  That order came directly from the sale section of tarte online.

I picked up two foundations from Sephora's sale section ($19 ea) but have to return them.  A poster on Beauty Talk noticed hers were expired...and so are mine. :(  But they are not pictured here...that pic is in the spoiler below though for reference! At Ulta I had a $10 off $40 or $50 (can't remember now) coupon that was shared with me from a poster here and also I had $64 worth in points saved up so that was a HUGE bill saver!  And then of course HauteLook has great deals no matter what they are showcasing so I felt really good about the Tarte hauls!

I love Tarte - and the palettes are super fun to play with!!
