Are Rewards Incentive Enough to Make You Shop Directly from a Brand’s Website?

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Tarte keeps pushing their Loyalty Rewards at me lately. I seriously got at least six e-mails between today and yesterday about this! With each purchase on their website you’ll earn points towards a variety of different rewards such as early access to product launches, free shipping, discounts, and more.

In all honesty, their loyal rewards holds little to no incentive for me to shop from their website. They aren’t offering anything I can’t get a better deal on from Ulta especially with cash back rewards. But I see more and more brands that are rolling out reward programs in the hopes of enticing you to shop directly from them because lord knows cutting out the middleman makes them way more money!

However, I’m not terribly impressed by any of the reward programs I’ve seen from brands. And even if there was some sort of awesome program they did offer I’d likely still not shop from them.

Why?

$100 Gift Cards are Live at Sephora Starting 12AM EST

Sephora Gift Card

Don’t forget that Sephora.com is getting the first batch of $100 gift cards in stock today! You can trade up 2500 reward points for a $100 gift card which will be sent to you via e-mail and must be used within 90 days.

Honestly, 2500 points is a lot for a $100 gift card but I have SO many points (like a stupid amount) that I never used so I might as well get something for my points!

Anyone else going to try and grab one? I doubt I’ll be successful but I’m going to give it a try. The next round of cards will be available on Thursday.

Let me know if you get lucky!

I Have To Ask Are You Using Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Concealer?

Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Concealer

This Summer I’ve been using Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Concealer and I forgot how damn good this is. How does that happen anyway? I discovered this when it originally launched back in 2014 and I remember using it every single day until some other concealer took its place. Why do we do that? Why do we find great formulas and push them away to try something new? Sigh! The life of a makeup junkie I guess.

Anyway, this Summer I rediscovered my love for this formula and if you aren’t already I must ask why aren’t you using Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Concealer?

Urban Decay Naked Cherry, Naked AF, and Naked Honey In the Works?

Urban Decay Go Naked Perfume Oil

Urban Decay Naked Cherry is available today ulta.com.

Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette is discontinued but Urban Decay Naked Cherry, Naked AF, and Naked Honey is apparently in the works to quickly replace that original and awesome palette we all know and love.

Zadidoll posted a trademark screenshot on her Twitter account a few days ago showing that Urban Decay might be creating some new palettes soon. I can’t confirm any of this info but it makes complete sense that they’d continue on with Naked everything. Especially right now when people are just feeling a little desperate since the original is on its way out. Also, Cherry sounds right on trend as currently purples and berries are really hot. I thought for sure we’d see some sort of Naked Smoky Purple Palette for Fall 2018 but I’ll take Naked Cherry any day of the week as there are too few red palettes on the market.

I’m not sure if Urban Decay plans to launch any of these items for Fall 2018 considering the trademark was issued in July so they must need time for production but maybe closer to the Holiday or even into Spring 2018. At this point I’m not even sure what they have in the works. It might not even be eyeshadow palettes at all but something entirely different.

Update: Urban Decay has confirmed their will be an entire Naked Cherry Collection that includes a Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette, lipsticks, eyeliners, and a Naked Flush Trio all cherry-inspired. They posted the below on Instagram early this morning. They have not mentioned the release date as of yet and nothing has been confirmed for Naked AF or Naked Honey but I imagine that’s on the way as well!

Either way I’m pretty excited.

What do you think Urban Decay has up their sleeve?

What would you love to see them create in the future?

Do share!
