I think I'm the Express shopping champion this month Hide


i also saw these entries that didn't have "reward issued". i thought they were for returns, and they lumped up my negs for returns with rewards issued. i wasn't sure the points matched up with the $, so I kinda gave up figuring it out laugh out loud i just thought to myself, at least they show the points to us.

i don't think they will do return/exchange without receipt anymore. but their replies reminded me they do courtesy lookup using your cc. i once brought in my email confirmation and that was ok i guess because it had an order number.

Iagree
you are queen of a lot of stuff this month! Coverlaugh

thanks for the response. my weird negatives all add up to 2500 so i'm assuming they just took the 2500 for my $10 reward. but it's very confusing that they take it out separately.

i will have them do a cc lookup. i really have no idea where i put that receipt! (it's probably in a pile of receipts somewhere...)

they're eggplant purple (tho very dark - not sure if you saw the shade when shopping for yours. same company). i thought they grey might be nice vs the white to go with the more casual look (their suits won't be 100% matched, dresses are different). but i really have to see it i guess... thanks!

i'm not sure about complaining. i've never done it before - the only time i was able to successfully complain was when i had a flight to taipei from los angeles with a connection in san jose and they cancelled my flight to san jose without letting me know ahead of time (it was american i think, and they told me later to get on a united flight, which i missed bc i didn't have enough time bc they didn't tell me!) - after complaining and complaining they put me on a direct flight to taipei. it was really nice of them to do that, esp considering it was a priceline ticket. but in general, i don't know if complaining will help any... maybe search on flyertalk or something?

that ulta deal seems pretty good, considering you can use a 3.50 off 10 coupon to get 3 for like 10 or 12. i usually see b1g1 50% off which is the same deal i guess (but may come out a tiny bit cheaper due to the 3.50 off, if both comes out to 10 - i don't know the retail value).

The $3.50 will be great. Do the $3.50 coupons work with manufacturer's coupons? Does anyone know of maybelline ones? I've never really gotten the hang of couponing, but this is something I really wanted to try.

I haven't used it yet! It looks like a shade for me too!

I think I'll use more of these than the naked 1! I don't think I'll used busted and blackout, but all the others look like good everyday shades!

Ulta lets you use their coupons with manufacturer's coupons - but I believe your total (after manufacturer's coupon) needs to be $10 in order to use the $3.50 coupon.

Check Target for coupons! They don't have a Maybelline one right now, but a few weeks ago they did.

Quoting randomly here, but I have a question. Did you ever get a Sephora VIB offer for a Pantone palette? I got that yesterday afternoon. I still didn't get the VIB email for the La Vanilla fragrance you got yesterday, so I'm wondering if they're splitting up the VIB bonuses each month to various people Mad

I ordered this Sephora Super Nourishing Lip Balm [sephora.com] on a whim and I heart it! I'm always on the hunt for good moisturizing lip products.

I've only used it once last night, but it went on so smoothly and my lips felt really lush after. I think this will be great underneath other lip products.

i don't remember which one 'busted' is, but blackout is a staple for a smoky eye! i love that shade. there's 1 that i don't see myself using - it's like 4th or 5th from the right - the light shimmery one that's grey-toned. it didn't look very good on me - booty call works better for me.

Iagree they usually require the total to be >10 to use the 3.50 off coupon. target is good too, but i prefer to buy from ulta or cvs/riteaid/walgreens bc they allow you to return stuff that's been used if you don't like it (target doesn't).

Oh yeah! Definitely don't buy makeup from Target unless you are sure you like the shade. I bought a bright pink Revlon lip butter and would probably have returned it if I could...but now it's my "statement" lip color. Stick Out Tongue

I just meant to check Target for printable coupons b/c sometimes they have beauty coupons that aren't exclusive to Target. I've printed manufacturer coupons from their site before.

Here is a link to the printablethread. I see that there is two maybelline coupons, but I'm not sure if they are for the product you are buying.

Thanks for the review! Should put this on my list now.

What the?! I looked carefully this time since that whole entire Smashbox lame non-reading email thing. And this is what I got [sephora.com] I don't see it ANYWHERE. There aren't even terms sent with my email. That's what I check too for the code.
