@itscarin and @quspork nice to know.  I've been in Ulta's rewards program since 2002.  Never received any gifts.  20% off salon services, but that's about it.  I have received at least 6 really nice gifts from Sephora since 2011.  My personal experience.

@anaa as someone else mentioned below ulta does send out free gifts. 😄

[quspork]

Actually Ulta does send out occasional gifts. I received one of the Tarte contour palettes just a few weeks ago and many ladies received Buxom lip glosses during the big Buxom launch a couple of years ago. They may not be brands you're interested in, but they do exist.

I have one that kinda bothers me this week.  This board is recently flooded with "What the best eyeshadow palette?", "What the best moisturizer for xx skin?", "What the best lipstick" ... "the best" "the best" ... Dont people know there is no such thing?  Sigh! We are all different people ... what work for one might not work for others.

I hear you. I don't know what's going on with the new bt. I feel like they used to show us the same threads all the time and all the newbie questions would get pushed to the bottom. Which I prefer!

I was just going to write this exact thing @blackkitty2014!! One glance at any of the threads here (but especially What Are You Wearing Today, where you can see BICers lovely faces!) shows that we all have different skin tones/undertones, skin types, are different ages, have different preferences in products, like more makeup or less makeup, have more or less time to get ready in the morning, have different budgets, work different jobs (or don't!), and on and on. Sigh.

I am also getting tired of the app not working and the site randomly crashing, and of the same questions being posted again and again. I don't blame newcomers because the homepage isn't well organized and the search bar doesn't work very well. You have to put in the exact thing you're looking for in order for the result to be generated.

What really grinds my gears is when people do my makeup or other people's makeup without being sanitary. Not only is it gross BUT it is also totally unsafe for the client!!

[veronika23]

Ugh yes!!! That's why I would never get my makeup done at Sephora... the testers are so gross. yuck

People who "review" products they haven't tried.  This got under my skin today.  I was lucky enough to swatch the ABH palette before it was released and thought it is lovely.  I was going to buy it...but have so much new makeup I lagged...it sold out...then the whole outcry and hate started so I decided no.  Well, this morning during my workout I watched some of those videos.  Are these people kidding!?  They open a palette for the first time and "review it"?  Not everyone.  And, oddly, the reviews by people who actually tried the palette a few times before reviewing it like it a lot more (than those who just turned on a camera and stuck their brushes into fresh snow).

People put time and money into creating something of which they are probably proud.  Sure, I get that people can do things their own way and like what they like (or dislike) but for this whole thing to blow up...crazy.

Maybe the palette isn't for everyone but I think people who publicly go on a rampage about a new product and know that they have influence should at least give it a fair shot.

I now might get the palette...though I so don't need it...
