A Rumor and a Sale

My much-discussed pale foundation woes make me really hate to spread false hope on pale foundations but apparently Kat Von D is just as cranky about the Light 42 discontinuation as I am. She told someone on Instagram that she's pushing for them to bring it back. Here's a cap:

I'm not sure that it will actually happen - Sephora has already changed all of their displays but I'd be happy to see it come back just as an online-only option. There are so few options in that shade range that anything we can hold on to would be great! 

In case you haven't made Platinum yet, Ulta is doing their 21 Days of Beauty Steals starting on March 16th. You can actually see the deals in advance over at the 21 Days page on Ulta.com  To be honest, I'm not seeing a lot that appeals to me, personally, but I do see a lot of common favorite products. Stila's In the Know Palette on the 17th for $20, for instance. Other deals include a free Brow Bar wax with minimum purchase of $50, Urban Decay Primer Potion travel set, Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes, Smashbox products, and more. Take a look through the scheduled deals and set some calendar reminders so you don't miss them! 

More rumors about the Sephora Chic Week sale that's supposed to run from March 30th to April 11th - many stores are now scheduling appointments for a Rouge or VIB event on March 30th. My local store told me to watch my email for an online scheduling option but that they weren't taking appointments in person or by phone. Stores in other areas are doing appointments in person and by phone. Some stores are telling Rouge and VIB customers who inquire that they won't need an appointment for the event. Of course, there are those stores that are telling folks they don't know anything about an event. Standard Sephora disorganization, so call your store and check what's going on!

I attended Nordstrom's Spring Beauty Trend Event at one of my local Nordstrom stores and I've got to say, I had a disappointing experience. I have a response from the online Beauty Concierge, so I'm going to see where that goes before I provide a full report but know that some people are getting great service and some are walking out with nothing more than the worst, dated makeover of their lives. Yes, even worse than that Mary Kay consultant a friend dragged me to in the '90s. Yikes!
