Yup.  Normally I wait to place an order until I have $50+ worth of stuff I need, but six bucks is worth it for the NARS lip pencil alone (obv I went with Kit 2).  Plus now I can just wait to buy everything else until early December, when the $15/$20 off codes get emailed!

 
I went ahead and placed two orders and paid for the second shipping to be able to get two of the itkits (totally agree with the BB analogy - it was so worth the $6).  After I did so, I went back and closely read the tiny print.  It said something like "one offer per client" and I thought, ugh, if I'd have known that I would have used the TarteVIB code and gotten the 2 tarte mascaras and the marajuca oil.  But.  I've got shipping confirmation on both orders and the itkits are included in both, so I think those of us who placed two orders with two codes are fine.  Whew.  

 
I'm curious as to what people ordered to qualify for their It Kits.  I ordered something daring that I've been wanting for awhile and never actually went ahead and bought - Nars Blush in Exhibit A.  That blush is red.  I'm hoping for a Snow White look, light skin and flushed cheeks, I'll try to use it with a light hand.  (I think I just revealed my love affair with Once Upon a Time . . . love the makeup on that show!)  I have their Orgasm/Laguna duo and Orgasm doesn't do much for me, it is a little paler than I had hoped for.  Maybe I need to just put it on with a heavier hand, I don't know.

 
On a super happy note for me, my order already shipped! I'm super surprised because I placed Friday night -- not exactly a business day. I'm surprised there were people working and shipping, but I'm very pleasantly pleased. Thanks Sephora!

I'm so tempted to place another order for kit #2 (got Kit #3 -- wanted to try those things more, but I did want both). I have a few things picked out already that add up exactly that $25, but I wanted a particular UD eyeshadow which they sold out... Q__Q I'll just have to be patient and hope they restock before kit #2 sells out

 
Sooo tempting but I do NOT need any of it and I definitely don't need to place an order. Sad though cause I want it haha.

Me too. Thank gosh my Sephora had that same Nars lip pencil for a 100 point perk already, or I'd be having a makeup dilemma of epic proportions. Knowing Lancôme, I'll get to test drive that mascara at some point too. (They do usually have good mascaras!) I still want kits 1 & 2, but don't want to pay s&h really. And don't want to spend $100+ when the VIB discount should be right around the corner. Hoping the Murad cleanser goes on some trade threads tho! I like that cleanser sometimes!

Ooh, I would have been all over that 100 pt. perk for a Nars lip pencil.  How do you like it?  I have a some points to spend but I can't find anything that really wows me.  I was going to do the 2 tubes of the Clinique dark spot correcter for 100 points but it hasn't gotten great reviews.  I'm hoping for a really cool, blow out 500 point value set, either in makeup or skincare.  Does anyone know if they put more/better point perks up closer to the holidays or maybe even less?  I love that Murad cleanser too, through subs and GWP's I have enough cleanser to last me a couple of years, lol.  

For my other order I picked up the 5 piece Tarte lipsurgence set that I was going to get anyway and the Sephora & Pantone Universe Shades of Nature Eye Shadow Palette that was originally $48 but is on clearance for $17.  I love their clearance section.  I also want some lip tars but they were out of the gift set.  Has anyone had success with those?  It seems like people either love them or hate them.

I love them and highly recommend them! I'd say they're my HG lip product except that their colors aren't really great for everyday/workplace wear, at least not with my coloring. I own four of them (traded away a fifth) and I really wish I had more occasions to wear them.

Not sticky at all. They're not like glosses. They dry fairly matte. If you have dry lips, they can be a little drying. I wear mine over the Pixi lip primer that I got through Birchbox.

The Nars pencil is nice... The shade in New Lover is gorgeous and it can work on most shades. It's a nice texture and coverage and not drying IMO. Part of me wants to stock pile another, but I have so many lip glosses and pencils its very unlikely I'll ever use it all up. And if I do I can buy it.
 
I ordered two of the smaller gift sets I had been wanting to order so I could get kit #1 (obsessed with st. tropez products)

and kit #2, everybody loves Nars, and I wanted to try the Lancome makeup remover. 

I ordered the Movie cool as Ice set, and the Stila 5 eyeliner kits. 

It was hard not hitting the $50 mark for free shipping, but the samples in the kits definitely made up for it. I will be ordering the more expensive gift sets later in the year whenever they do something for VIB members :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 
I have placed 3 separate orders to get each of the three It Kits. I hate paying shipping so all of the orders were $50 plus... I definitely have a beauty sample problem!!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
