There's a Kohl's 10 off 30 on FP.

I'm bored. Yawn

Anyone know how to get a tray out of a compact. Trying to refill my Jane iredale compact foundation and can not get the old tray out.
try dropping some alcohol between the pan and the case through the little gap between them to loosen the glue. or heat may loosen the glue as well, maybe blow dry the bottom.

There's a little place you can pop it out but I can not fit anything in it.

I try to plan my orders before I purchase! I'm trying to plan one now with the coupons we have and my rewards! Part of me wants to wait before I make a purchase, but part of me isn't sure if it will go on sale! Like the fit and flare dresses I've been eying have not gone down to 30% off. Last time the dress I wanted down at 30% off was the sheath dress back in Nov. :sha ke:
I usually try to plan my orders ahead of time too. The implementation of the inventory count has thrown me off my game. Embarrassment I need to work on that.

The color block dress I want hasn't gone on sale either. They need a dress sale that includes all of them. If the dresses you want aren't low on inventory, I'd probably wait a little longer hoping for a sale. Keep checking them to make sure they don't sell out though.

Smashbox is good so you may already have a good one. Otherwise, thebalm Mary loumanizer, nyx mosaic highlighter to name a couple. I mostly use my smashbox ones.
It's been so long since I ordered from Smashbox that I had forgotten about the stuff I got there. Blush I'll have to see what I have left. Since I ordered there last, my sister has raided my stash for Christmas gifts & my niece & nephew's wife raided it for stuff for them to use. Thanks for the recommendation on the other products. I may need them, if they took the Smashbox highlighters.

That's a good idea. I was trying a hanger Facepalm.

Speaking of low inventory count, I checked a skirt I was eying and purchased during the recent tier and saw that it was completely gone in size 0-4!! I checked it yesterday or the day before and nothing in "low" stock was shown! EEK! Not sure if I'm going to wait until the dresses I want go on sale EEK!

I also tried a fork and when that didn't work I tried a child's fork laugh out loud. Now I've got to find a paper clip. Maybe it will fit!

I'm starting to think I'm in between sizes in the peplum tops. I got the black lace top in S & it's very loose in the torso. The $24.90 peplum tops were the same. DH picked up the white lace one with a 40% off coupon tonight. It fits perfectly in the torso, but it's too tight in the chest/upper back area. I haven't tried an XS in the black or cheaper peplum yet. If they don't have more stretch than the white one, they won't work either. Sadwalk

If that doesn't work, try a nail file.

That's a tough choice. I'd stalk them several times a day in case you need to grab one before they're gone.

I think I am too. But because I want one so bad, the most decent fit on me is the black S. Not shapely though, so I wore it under a jacket. Next time I wear it, I'll use a belt to cinch it in.

ETA: I haven't tried the black XS either, but the ivory XS was small.

Either naked is great. I find 2 to be better for everyday work makeup while 1 is better for going out at night. But I love both!

Also, I like a lot of nyx palettes. Some are better than others but in general they're good value.
My Sephora order arrived today. I purchased the Naked 2 and the Basics. The Basics will be returned. It is so tiny. I will order the Naked 1 when I get another deal.

I just checked my Cherry Culture email. I order several China Glaze enamels...like I need more, but I have had a list of them forever and they were on sale plus 20% off. I also ordered several NYX pallettes. I hope I like everything. Now that I purchased the vanity, I have the urge to buy makeup. I also have the urge to buy more perfume. I need to sample Vince Camuto.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
i like naked 2 better. i mostly do day makeup and the compact is nicer imo. i like the metal better than the velvet.
Quote from kurips :
i haven't used my naked 2 and basics. i'm still deciding if i'd take them to vacay, while they'll be practical, i'm scared they'll break.
Quote from nerdicus :
I don't think the nakeds are easily breakable. I brought my naked 2 for seminar! Its better for lighter makeup.

Every time I pick up naked 1 to I love it. I just don't reach for it as much.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
the case on naked 1 picks up everything. it's hard to keep clean.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
I love the velvet case!! I hate the metal case because I worry when I use too much force to open, I will catch the eyeshadow and ruin it as I have done with other palettes before shake head

I'm using Naked 1 for my friend's wedding.
The ladies love the Naked palettes. Eyeshadow is the only non-Bare Escentuals makeup that I buy currently. The Naked 2 is pretty.

Has anyone ever returned OPI by Sephora nail enamel after opening it? I'm sure you can due to Sephora's return policy, but I feel weird because it has the plastic seal. Any thoughts?

Glad you love Naked.

Just go return it. They take everything back, even if it's been tried.

I think I shall play with the Naked 2 today.

All right. I ordered a OPI by Sephora Jewelry top coat. Every time I purchase enamel from them I return it because I feel badly about opening it if I do not like it. #backwards
