Thank you @vee95 !

Love the swatches, @WinglessOne!  And yay for Rouge rewards--that's ALWAYS fun :).

And yes, the Tower 28 compact SHOULD latch.

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @CookieGirl1 @lmaster @curlychiquita ! 

Hmm, now I have to decide if I wanna try exchanging my defective Tower 28 compact or just keep a band or clip on it. It was part of my rouge reward purchase, which adds another layer of return policy frustration. I'll take it to a local Sephora that stocks this shade and see what they say. 

[CookieGirl1]

@WinglessOne ironically, all of my Tower28 compacts are actually a bit difficult to open! 

[tastelikewater]

@CookieGirl1 Mine too! I had to pry mine open with a nail tool the other day because I knew I'd ruin my new manicure if I tried it with my fingernails.

[CookieGirl1]

@tastelikewater LOL, this is me every morning. I can't tell you how many nails I've chipped on those plastic compact! Z

[WinglessOne]

@CookieGirl1  Ha, I did think "careful what you wish for: you might end up with a Tower 28 compact that's as near-impossible to open as a Becca Champagne Pop DS compact!" 🤣

Thank you for the swatches and reviews of the Tower 28 and Melt blushes, @WinglessOne! The Gucci lipsticks look pretty.

Love the gucci before breakfast on you!!! Great reward haul!! @WinglessOne

@WinglessOne Great haul.  I have been noticing that the Rouge $100 reward is available more now.   Everytime I go and check it's in stock.

@SportyGirly125  Totally agree. I snagged one mid sale as well. First try! 

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @SportyGirly125 ! I grabbed this latest rouge reward about a minute after it appeared in the bazaar. 😄 I haven't been checking to see how long they're available lately, though. I remember when the $100 rewards first launched, they'd stay in the bazaar til 1-2 PM CT sometimes. I remember getting one around 1 PM CT. Either there were far more available back then, or not enough people knew about them... or maybe not many folks had enough points to get them, though I kinda doubt that. 

Then one day, after one of the annual sales when everyone racked up points, that reward became ridiculously hard for folks to get. I've been very lucky: each time I've tried to get one, I've succeeded. That includes the time Sephora.com was super glitchy on my tablet, so I had to switch to my phone while trying to checkout. Anyway, I hope there really are more rouge rewards available nowadays. Especially with all the other points-grabs Sephora's implemented lately.

Great haul, @WinglessOne!! Congrats on the Rouge reward!! The blushes and the lippies are SO gorgeous!! Enjoy!!

Thank you @haleyvvvv !

Hi BIC!!! Okay, since I am on a semi-low buy these days, I am posting a ton of pics of my Sephora sale items. Almost forgot the set of bags. I am supposed to be on a no-buy-forever of makeup bags but I loved these and couldn’t resist on sale. 

I wasn’t  sure about the NARS case, but in person, I love it! Had to have it since I’m a summer solstice birthday baby, although the colors are probably almost exactly like NARS Wanted, but that’s a Holy Grail, so I don’t mind. 

The Dominique palettes are ones I had my eye on but couldn’t really justify full price. But 1/2 off plus 20% was more than welcome! Have a great week, peoples!

@sister13 ,

Those palettes are so lovely!  I'm very interested in the NARS Summer Solstice already!  😊  Yes to your new makeup bags!

[SportyGirly125]

@sister13 Great haul!  So cosmetic cases are so cute.

[sister13]

I had had my eye on them for a long time but finally caved! @SportyGirly125 

[haleyvvvv]

Great haul, @sister13!! I definitely agree on the pull of those DC palettes for 20% + 1/2 off. Enjoy your goodies!! 

[sister13]

Yes, too hard to resist! Since I’m mostly not buying lip products (masks), I making up for it in eye palettes! @haleyvvvv 

[WinglessOne]

@sister13  I've come so close to buying DC Celestial Storm many times, and your photos are making me rethink my resistance. I hope you enjoy both palettes!
