I love that Ariel mirror, I should probably buy a backup. I'd be devastated if it broke.

 
Send me a PM, ladies! Two people have already asked for the Ariel compact so there's probably only one left (if no one else has bought it in the time I left and the time I'm going tomorrow).

I went to my local Sephora Saturday, had to exchange all my stuff that didn't work out for me last week. (just got store credit since I was picking other things up)

What a zoo it was.  It wasn't that busy people-wise, just the normal busy amount, but omg, the displays were a hot mess!  Everything was in the wrong places.  It really felt like somebody got bored and just took all the testers out of their proper place and randomly put them back however, for almost all the brands, for all departments.  It took me freaking 10 minutes just to find where they hid the Caudalie cleansing water!  I almost couldn't find the foundation I wanted samples of (and it didn't help that Sephora had the same foundation in two different areas either).  Plus they were out of so much stock I could hardly find anything to buy that wasn't staple boring items.  

I wasted so much time just finding stuff that I didn't have that much time to test and pick stuff before having to pay out the butt for parking. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

All in all, I ended up with a compliment on my hair from a nice employee, a can of Alterna Bamboo root spray (wasn't expecting such a HUGE can, lol), Smashbox 24 hour eye primer (my new favorite), Fresh sugar shine gloss treatment in Cherry and in Rose (now I have all 4 colors, yay!), Lancome eye makeup remover, Caudalie cleansing water, and Murad renewing eye cream.  Then the two samples of Dior Star Fluid foundation.  I bought a full size from online already, but am still unsure if I picked the correct color.  The samples aren't much better/different, so further testing is needed.  

And I still have a good chunk of credit left I'm saving for holiday sets.  I hope they get the Nars satin lip pencil set that was linked in the holiday set thread.  If they follow past pricing, l should be able to pick it up with my credit.  If they don't get the set, I'm sure I'll find something else in store I "have to have", lol.  

If anybody is looking for a good concealer, the new Dior Star Fluid concealer is awesome!  Not much color variation though, I believe it is just shades 1, 2, 3. (fair/medium/tan)

 
ok so i went in store for the first time in almost a year. why? well i was in Albany visiting my family and thought ok why not? My store here in Utica is inside a JCP and CS is downright horrible.  Well, Albany was a stand alone store and both employees were awesome! I asked some questions on my blackheads around my nose i cant get rid of. The sales person gave me three foil samples of bosica and then two FULL container samples of the black mask for me to try. When I reached the counter with my purchase I mentioned to the next associate how awful my store at home was. That on my birthday they were out of the birthday gifts and did nothing else for me.  He gave me my birthday gift plus another bare minerals gift. Then he pulled out a GIANT BOX filled with samples! (prob leftover from an event) he said he was sorry to hear about my lack of service at my home store and he hoped that made up for it! I was one happy camper. I split my box of goodies with my cousin I was shopping with. The box had a bunch of skin items in it!

Wow, sounds like you had a great experience!  Have fun with all the samples :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Stories about good CS are always so nice to read! Hopefully the black mask works for you! I have the full size and while I like it, I prefer the Origins charcoal mask. Both masks leave my face super soft - Boscia's is a little bit more annoying to apply and I've heard that it's painful to peel off for some ladies (but I don't feel pain properly so it doesn't bother me), while the Origins can be a little messy to wash off unless you're showering afterwards. But as for blackheads on my nose/cheeks/forehead I still think the Biore pore strips are the way to go.

 
@ - Glad you like the Origins Charcoal mask.    I am going to try it tonight.  Masks scare me because I end up a parched mess. 

Speaking of Boscia - I tried a sample of their BB Spectrum cream that adjusts to your skin color.   Loved it!  New brand for me.

Good luck! I love everything Boscia lol. I haven't tried their BB cream though! I've got a few tubes of other ones to finish up before I buy more, I go through BB cream/powders really slowly because I only use them for special events or if my face is really too much of a mess to be bare.

A note to shimmer-phobes: I really liked Boscia's BB cream, and the light version was a fantastic match for my skin tone. However, when I got outside in full sunlight, I noticed that I was "sparkling" a bit. Otherwise, I would have been completely sold.

 
@ - I saw the light version on the Boscia website.  I had to check my sample to make sure the right one ended up in my shopping cart. The sample I used was the original or non light version.  But, funny enough my foundation color is always in the light range (EL Daywear Light 2.0 Intensity).  The Bosica BB went on dark and scary looking at first.  But, a blender fixes it right up and it definitely adjusted.  The strangest stuff. 

I was reading reviews that talked about shimmer and I was wondering about it because I didn't encounter that.  But, now I am thinking they put the light review under the regular product.  Maybe just the light formula has the shimmer?

 
so I messaged everyone already, I'm attaching this here to prove I actually bought these and I'm not going to make off with your money XD

also, I saw cinderella lipstick. I only grabbed one for someone who especially mentioned looking for cinderella products. there were only two left. there were also Ariel and Cinderella roller balls ($13 I think) but a whole bunch of them so I don't think they'll all be gone. I'm willing to make a second trip I'd that was a must-have item for anyone. I grabbed a fourth palette for my bestie but there are three more in the store... if anyone wants anything though they will have to wait until probably the weekend for me to run back.

eta: there were also ariel nail polishes and lipglosses, but i think they are still on the website, so I doubt anyone needs me to make the trip for them. And that's it for what they had. no cinderella mirror. :C lol I would've hoarded one for myself first, but there were zero.

I wish I had seen this post yesterday... Dying for the Ariel mirror.

 
Ooh, thanks for telling us about the points history, @@nerdi ! It even shows the exact YTD spending, which is really cool/scary.

I haven't tried the darker version, so there might be a difference. Also, the shimmer is minimal, in any case. It is strange stuff! At first when I put some on I was thinking there is NO WAY this is going to be remotely blendable and then it blended out beautifully. Go figure?

 
I still haven't gotten the email. I wonder if it's because I became Flash late in September 2013 (way after I was supposed to be allowed to according to my invite?) Should I call?

 
One of my recent orders arrived without my promo code item. It's not a huge deal but I would have liked it. My packing slip shows that it should have been included.

Has this ever happened to anyone here before? And if so did they send it out to you? I just sent Sephora an email asking if it can be sent to me. I'm thinking that they are going to give me points instead. I have tons of points so I'm hoping they don't go that route.

Worst case scenario if they do nothing it's not like I won't be making any more orders any time soon ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
