I think it's fate. I have become a Sephora fan as of late. I absolutely love all of the little samples of different things that I get when I order. When I was getting my "face" on this morning using different potions, I was thinking how cool it would be if Sephora had sampler packs like Yves Rocher does. I came back to my email and found this!

http://www.sephora.com/assets/dyn/product/P182602/P182602_hero.jpg (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=wfhQUf5qWdI&offerid=32532.976381&type=2&subid=0)

Value of $55. On sale for $30.00. If you have never tried any of their stuff, this is a great opportunity. I have some of this but will definitely be trying it out. I bet that these sell out pretty quickly. It would make a perfect give for a teenage girl or woman going away to college as well.

Best of Sephora Beauty Insider Kit ($55 Value)
Philosophy's greatest hits, each one a 2006 Best of Sephora winner, all boxed up exclusively for Beauty Insiders. Filled with four pint-sized portions of Philosophy favorites—the pH balanced, pore-purging cleanser, Purity Made Simple; the cult favorite, skin brightening moisturizer, Hope in A Jar; two at-home facial Microdelivery Peel packets; and the multitasking, floral and musk-infused Amazing Grace Bath, Shampoo & Shower Gel—this sought-after sampler has everything you need to get glowing. Available in limited quantities, this exclusive collection won't last long.

Wow, that is a great idea. Tricia bought me some of this one year for mothers day and it was great. These would make a wonderful gift. I like keeping stuff like this on hand for when those (ah oh) need a gift in a hurry time comes up.

Oh that does look like a good kit. I usually get them for christmas presents when the holiday sets come out with the friends and family code.

They had a good stila make up one on their webpage as well but its already sold out. I was so sad.

Okay these are neat.... http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P172734&categoryId=C9941&shouldPaginate=true

I might get a few of these for gifts for my mom and my MIL :)

A lipstick tube made entirely out of corn - a renewable and abundant resource. This environmentally-friendly innovation also emits less greenhouse gases, which many scientists believe to be the major cause of global warming. The outer carton is made of flower paper embedded with real flower seeds. Simply moisten, plant, and wait for a bouquet of wild flowers to grow!

What else you need to know:
CARGO is donating two dollars from the sale of every shade to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The PlantLove™ seeds we sow today affect future generations so we are investing in the earth and our children for the future of the planet!

Any chance of a SM Sephora increase? I know I'm pushing it now... but I just wanted to check since now I've found a TON of stuff I want. Shame on you Tricia! lol

Oh, Mandy. You are going to make me go broke.

SMs...don't buy anything at Sephora. Give me a minute.

Aww man a free shipping code. Its so tempting. How long is the code good for?

SoccerPrincess - I love Cargo eyeshadows. You should definetly check those out.

If anyone is christmas or gift shopping already defintely check out Stila palettes, urban decay (for the young 'uns) and too faced. They make excellent eyeshadows that last 15+ hours.

Alright. I just added a 3% link to the SM lounge. If anyone else is reading this thread TODAY and wants the 3% as well, drop me a trouble ticket and I will give you a special link good only today and tomorrow.

Now you all have to really buy something. I have to sell $1000 this month to get enough commission to make up for bumping you all up. We're already at $700. I think we can do it if we work together. LOL!

Also, if you join the Beauty Insider before your purchase, you will get a additional sample...one is even exclusive. So, you get the free shipping over $50.00 And the black velvet which is awesome, I have red one.

Unfortunately, it looks like they don't update my stats until either the next day or when they ship. So I probably won't be able to tell until tomorrow morning.

The sad thing is that while I say I wouldn't shell out that much for that set I bet if I added everything up that it would be a lot more than that.

I really need to find a good mascara. I loved dior show but the wand sucks so my eyelashes clump together and look bad. She Uerma was a good wand too light of a color. Fresh kills the curl in my lashes the minute I put it on. So frustrating. I've tried the drugstore stuff but I can't get it off my lashes.

The 3% is still good tomorrow (Friday) right? Ok ladies...I'm wanting to try some new makeup...not real happy with what I've been using..this seems like a good excuse to try something new...I'm interested in long lasting the most...I don't enjoy and don't have time for touch ups during the day...Recommendations??

Well in some ways probably a little of it all...i honestly feel like by lunch I look like I didn't bother that morning...:rotfl:

I guess my first priority as far as fixing that would go would be foundation/powder? (You can tell I know lots about makeup right? :rolleyes:)

Honestly, I probably need everything along with a lesson....:rotfl: Currently I wear Estee Lauder.

I live 2 miles from downtown so i'm an urbanite not quite a suburbian.

Foundation - well I prefer light coverage with no real weight. i love stila tinted moisturizer for summer. It has spf built into it and comes in something like 20 shades. I'm pretty fair complected and wear "light". Her liquid foundation is pretty good as well. It lasts all day without me needing to touch up.

Lorac makes a nice powder if you like powder type foundations. It irritates my skin so I can't wear powder alone. I get the oil free one. I can look it up if you are interested. I looked at her foundation but its pretty light and sheer kind of like Stila so I just bought Stila instead.

Blush - check out Nars in Orgasm (yes I know). Its a lovely peach color that every magazine loves. It looks good on everyone.

Eyeshadow - depends on your coloring. You can't go wrong with Stila Kitten. I have been wearing Stila Prize and Moonlight for the summer (gold and white). Its very pretty. Kitten is a great basic that goes well with darker colors like barefoot contessa (dark burgendy like plum color). Too Faced Sin is very close to Kitten if its sold out. Also check out Cargo in Corsica.

Mascara - I liked she uerma but it wasn't dark enough for me but I'm picky. It works on everyone else and is a good basic black. I just like the dark coal colors.

Eyeliner depends on how steady of a hand you have. Stila smudgepots are excellent if you are willing to do a brush as are Benefit's babe cakes. If you don't like brush eyeliners check out Too faced Lava gloss they are pencil versions of eyeliners

Ok bf is telling me its time for bed so take a look at those and I will continue in the morning before work ;)

WOW!! Thanks so much. I too must head to bed, but will read up on these tomorrow evening when I get in and have time to sit at the computer for more than 15 minute intervals (tomorrow is going to be a busy day).

Thanks again

Hey Tricia -- I just got credit for this but it was only 2&#37; instead of 3% and I know I went through the SM link :) Do I need to do a Trouble Ticket?

Yeah. Nothing scientific. Just an Account Question with "hey dumb dumb I only got 2%" will be enough. LOL! I just need the record of it to 1) remind me to do it, and 2) have it for my files.
