SEPHORA: VIB Rouge

[tweakabell]

Yesterday's haul. Please excuse the bad iPad photo...

Impressive haul!

I got the Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, Clinique Toner, and the Buxom Brights and Nudes set. Later in the week I know I am going to pick up The Hourglass Immaculate Foundation...I swatched it on my hand and it was incredible...I haven't ever seen a foundation behave like that.

So jealous! I love the brights in that set but I just returned that big 15? Piece set from the holidays so hubby said I couldn't get it lol

I just order the Hourglass Immaculate Foundation in Natural and their lip liquid in pink. I love the foundation! It's rather on the expensive side but it is awesome!!! I hope you enjoy yours when you get it.

I got the 15 piece set too, and i love it!!! I still have some tubes unopened from that set, so that's what's stopping me from getting the new 6 piece set. Looks gorgeous though!

I swatched it in store yesterday!! It's almost borderline TOO light for me, but my biggest issue is that  I feel like all of the nars foundations were too yellow for me. I'm pretty cool toned (the color iq girl did me twice with the comment the first time of "let's try it again, that's pulling a lot of pink") and I feel like everything is just so yellow /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm bummed because I really want that NARS foundation /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Maybe I"ll go back and have them put it on my face to see if I can make it work.

I loved all the colors but one of the first ones I opened was the glittery white one and the popcorn smell almost made me vomit. It sat untouched after that and I finally just returned it so I could get something I'd use. It's the first thing I've returned.

I was set on getting the NARS sheerglow, and she started with a darker color that was way too yellow. Siberia pulled super neutral on me, I hope you have the same luck!

Well, I finally got my Gift Card for participating in the chat a week or so ago. And that's after I made my purchase! So does that mean I get to buy more logos stuff? You betcha! Yippee! It was nice that they sent a handwritten note to us and let us know how much they appreciated us participating in the chat. Now I have something to spend on Thursday! : )

 

[amandah]

is there a code to get the bag online, or was it in store only?

eta: just checked my email. it was in store only /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

NARS sheerglow in Mont Blanc is a very light shade with pink undertones.

Thank you ladies!!! I think I may need to make a trip to Sephora this week to try it on my face!

My mom and I attended the one here in Honolulu at the Ala Moana store, it was PACKED!  There were over 200 guests and I would say maybe about 20-25 employees on staff, NOT NEARLY ENOUGH!!  The store felt even more crowded with all the makeup stations set up all over the place, and I was constantly getting knocked and jostled in every aisle.  You would have thought it was a black Friday sale by the size of the crowd.

With that said, we did pick up quite a few goodies and I spent enough to renew my Rouge for another year.  I was disappointed though, at the last event, they were passing out samples (both foils and deluxe size) by the handful any time you even stopped to look at a product, but this time I only received some Dior perfume and skin cream from a staff member when I was grabbing my foundation and then of course, the VIB Rouge Bag.  Oh well.  At least I saved $64 with the 15% discount.

Mine was packed too! The SA said over 200 people RSVPed. I had no idea there were that many people in my neighborhood that were equally obsessed with makeup /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was talking to a staff member who I believe was the manager, and she said at the last event at Ala Moana, they only had about 60 Rouges; but in the last 6 months, that number is now at over 200, and they were filled to capacity by the second day of reservations.  Apparently we're extremely Sephora-Obsessed here in Hawaii haha.

The Brights are LE, but I am liking the nudes more when looking at them but lets see once I open them.

I just order the Hourglass Immaculate Foundation in Natural and their lip liquid in pink. I love the foundation! It's rather on the expensive side but it is awesome!!! I hope you enjoy yours when you get it.

It is definitely expensive but it was kinda awesome and the match was great. I am excited you got it, too!

Just posted in sephora thread. VIB will get same bag with samples from rouge event on 4/3. No special shopping time, just limited quantities during normal hours. The VIBTICKET code for 15% starts on Thursday. It also has a "bring a friend" for 15% as well

So for being rouge over VIB, I got a muffin. That about sums up my entire rouge experience lol

Yeah.  And if you don't eat wheat (like me) you got nothin.

 

[tweakabell]

I appreciated first access to the sale even if it was only for a few days. Things have already sold out, I can't imagine how mad I'd have been with no advance.

 

[saku]

hmmm...at least make the bag exclusive? idk... 

 

[tweakabell]

Yea, I think Sephora has inflated value in their minds about some things like the beauty studio access and the brand reps at the event. They think these things are wonderful apparently, while to me they're just meh.
