Black Friday 2012!!! - Page 7

Still can't get into the site after waiting for like 20 minutes! And I was there before! So annoying.

Woo! Got back in and it didn't kick everything out of my cart. Just checked out!

I finally got back in too... internet explorer let me in faster than google chrome did FYI!

Know what?  On the ad it said "sold out" for that palette.  But I searched LORAC, and clicked to see just eye, and it's there for $12.  And it let me put it in my cart.  And if it would let me take the free shipping on $25 again, I'd order and could tell you if it works.  But it doesn't, so I'm just kind of assuming it would actually let me buy it.

No other black friday deal is "sold out". Either they had reallllly limited quantities of that palette, or the website is acting up. I can add it but as soon as I check out, it says it's OOS and I can't continue with the order.

Either Sephora had crazy quantities of their black friday deals, or not many people wanted them.. almost an hour later and they're all still in stock lol. I'm pretty sure last year, all the big hits were sold out by now.

I got: 2x Lorac, 2x Tarte, 1x Purity, + the "In the Glow" freebie kit.

Oh.  =(  I'd hoped I found a sold-out-psyche!not! bug that would make you happy.

I was <-- this --> close to purchasing a couple $10 kits (Boscia and Ole) but...I realized I wasn't that into it.  So, I closed the browser and bought some $3.99 mp3 albums I was eyeing on Amazon instead.

And, I'm feeling pretty good about it!

It may have helped that I got a Birchbox order in a couple days ago using the 25% code before it stopped working - I went ahead and got the New Love Organics oil set and also a single in the rose flavor.  Between points and the 25% it came out to $17/bottle instead of $39 each!

The only thing I'm lusting over is a whipped cream holiday set on Josie Maran's site.  It's a steal!

Same for me. I got in faster with Safari while Chrome just sat there. Happy that the It Kits were still available!

Of all the Sephora deals I wasn't expecting the Tocca set to sell out online first! 
 

nvm its back up

I was on sephora for about 25 min before it kicked me off! weird that so many people had issues and i didn't. I ended up ordering the josie maran set, the too faced set and the 2 oz sephora brush cleaner. it wasn't free shipping but the 3 perfume samples and deluxe tarte mascara made up for it.  I REALLY shouldn't have bought anything though...but the fact that i really need makeup wipes kinda pushed me forward

The OCC lip tar set is back in stock too.....
 

I'm having a lot of trouble getting onto the Ulta black friday page though

UGH me too, I'm only like 80 points away from getting VIB status so I feel like its necessary to make another order lol

Happened to wander onto Sephora when I realized it was 12ish, and everything seemed to be available. I got the #1 thing I wanted (tokyomilk) and then also grabbed the stila and philosophy  deals. Couldn't justify the rest. After that I got the 'OMG MILLIONS OF PEEPS' message but quickly was out.

I checked on tokidoki deals because I love their bits and pieces, and watch for their stuff to go even lower on sephora.com, as they will occasionally add items. They randomly added the cute 24k metallic pencil bags to their stock for $10, so if anyone else has the <3 for TD grab it while you are getting your black friday deals. It's super cute.

lol! do it!

Also - if anyone is a BoA customer, keep in mind that their free add-it-up program currently has 5% cashback on Sephora. Pretty much pays for the tax! I almost forgot!

I hate to be an enabler...but I think you should make another order to get VIB.  Alternatively, you could wait to make that order when you get the $15 coupon in December for B.I. 

yay only thing I wanted from Sephora is gone, awesome :D

Hm... back to the HauteLook bag.... I'm actualy kind of interested. I mean a lot of them look like foil packets (lmao more Embryolisse packets) but considering it's $20 and there's a $20 in Sole Society credit, I think it's worth it. I mean, I also actually shop at Sole Society and already have $10 credit there from doing a survey... also, did anyone post this yet? I feel like then I could also justify getting a Mary-Lou manizer and Nude Tude eyeshadow palette. Well, no I cannot justify getting more eyeshadow because I have SO MUCH EYESHADOW

Also, has anyone shared this yet? It's for Origins.com

If you like Origins (I do) this is pretty slick.

Yeah but that's a mystery sampler bag. We don't know the size or the number of items in those :C

The Boscia is gone and so is the Ole Henriksen 3 Little Wonders set so I'm going to wait and see what happens on Monday.  I kind of wanted the Lorac and the Bite lip trio but I'm not that into them at the moment, not really that excited about it so I'll save the money for another day.  The Sephora gift with purchases have been pretty great lately.  I'm sure I'll get more excited about something in the future.  I am a bit bummed about the Boscia, I really did want to try the black mask.  I would have placed an order if that had been in stock but I forgot about logging in and was just reading and then remembered and logged on a little too late.  Oh, well.  Live to shop another day!

Falalala Flawless is out of stock now...awesome

Out of all of them I thought the Lorac duo would be one of the first to sell out; the primer and eyeshadow, are respectively, $21 and $19. I kind of regret not getting the Boscia one before it ran out--their purifying cleansing gel is my favorite facewash/makeup remover :).

OMG My local ULTA was CRAZY. I expected it to be so since it's the first year ULTA is open here and I had a feeling that the store manager didn't take that into consideration. Let's put it this way, I had a conversation with her earlier this week about Black Friday and she said she wasn't working the opening hours and I said to mark my words she'd be called in, guess what, she was was called in. EVERYTHING that's in the 2-day ad was snatched up within minutes of the doors opening. I was able to get the items I wanted but barely. It took over an hour to pay - only FOUR cash registers and there was ZERO staff on the floor. They had a security guard patrolling but no actual staff. I talked to the assistant manager right when after I walked in because I saw it was going to be crazy and that they were going to need more staff in. She called the main manager who called in employees so by 1:30 they had staff on the floor and at the registers but the $10 deals were long since snatched up. I ended up helping out customers, mainly answering questions on products (started with one lady who looked oh so confused on products and other ladies overhead me talking to her so they asked me questions, lol). While in line waiting to pay I ended up answering more questions from those around me everything from DIY to the answering questions about the products they had in their bags. lol It killed the time and it was nice talking to people about things.

The DermStore has a "mystery black bag" with $137 worth of products for $25.
