I don’t remember the last time I was this excited about Sephora’s 500 point reward! As soon as I got the email that they’re giving out this 6-piece Bobbi Brown cosmetics set, I practically sprinted to my local Sephora store to grab one! But by the time I arrived, the set was already out of stock. I was really disappointed then, and wanted to scream, but what can you do right? There will always be someone who’s faster than me. However, 12 days later, I was able to get my hands on one. Want to know how I did it? Then please read on! :)
The Bobbi Brown Bobbi’s Modern Classics set is consisted of 5 Bobbi Brown bestsellers and a limited edition pink cosmetic top zipper pouch. The pouch comes in a hot pink color with a black ribbon tie on the zipper that I think is super cute. I’m already using it to keep small stuff inside my other cosmetic bag (seriously us girls, how many makeup bags do we carry around with us to work ;D).
So what’s in the set!
- Mini Hydrating Eye Cream
- Mini Smokey Eye Mascara in Black
- Mini Long-Wear Eye Pencil in Jet
- Mini Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Blushed Rose
- Mini High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Bare Sparkle
I’ll be reviewing and swatching each item in more details in my upcoming posts so please stay tuned! :)
So how did I manage to get my hands on the set? Well, it’s no hidden secret or anything. One of the staff happened to find the last set in the back room after I left so she’s been holding it out for me. 12 days later I walked into the store and she asked if I still wanted the Bobbi Brown set. OF COURSE! You had no idea how happy I was! :D They don’t normally do this but I go there all the time so they all know me pretty well. It’s nice to befriend with them you know? I normally like to shop online but I think I’ll start shopping at the store more often now. I just really appreciate them doing this for me and want to return the favor by shopping with them! :)
I know for sure this set is no longer available at sephora.com but if you really want it, try visiting or calling your local store to ask. You never know, it might be your lucky day, too! :)
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about all the products in this set!
Soon! I hope. My “to-review” list is getting longer and longer. Soon I won’t be able to keep up! -__-” LOL.
Whoa, this set is mind-blowing! I am super curious about the liner and Pot Rouge. I still haven’t tried a Pot Rouge for some reason! And I say yes to befriending the SAs. You could get extra samples and all that good stuff ;)
Lol true and true!
I love the hydrating eye cream too! I think their Hydrating range is pretty good! :-) Love the Blushed Rose pot rouge the first ever that I bought! :-)
I can’t wait to try the Pot Rouge! :D I’ve tried the eye cream in the past and loved it! :)
wow this set is just awesomeness
that is really sweet of that gal to keep it for u
I agree befriending with gals at the store has its own benefit …:P
waiting for detailed post
Haha right? It’s good to be nice to people! :)
Nice! Not a huge fan of their glosses (don’t hate them either) but the pot rouge… I love!
No? How come? I have yet to open the tube to try it, lol.
MINI-mania. Useable sizes too. I can’t wait for the full lowdown!
Soon! :D
Uuuuugh JAA! Why are there so many awesome samples in your part of the world!?!?!?! {{{Jaa}}} (just a small one this time since it’s not really your fault, but I’m still envious, LOL!)
I can’t wait to hear your reviews of these – especially the eyeliner and that pot rouge, actually!
Aren’t kind SA’s the best? It’s so touching when someone goes the extra mile for you, even though you didn’t ask for it, and they don’t have to do it. All the warm fuzzies!!
Reviews coming right up! My list of “to-review” products is getting longer and longer, lol. Come help me!
Such a pretty GIFT Jaa! One thing about Bobbi Brown products is that she knows what is BEST! The hydrating eye cream is on my wish-list for months now! Can’t wait to see what your thoughts are on each one of them. Also being friendly with SA’s is always good, they keep the product aside for you and always shower with more samples;)
Yep! Actually being nice to people is always good in general. ;D
So great that they held one for you! I haven’t been excited about a 500 point perk for a while, but I did get that Marc Jacobs 1000 point perk a little while back. That was a great one.
Oh I remember that MJ set! I wanted it, too, but couldn’t part with my hard-earned 1k points. Ugh. I really should have. Such a great set just like you said!
Looks amazing! If there is one thing I am jealous of people living in the US is sephora with all of their reward system, so great! and the products are often really good things, so you actually are rewarded with things you’re happy to use and not some random junk!
I know I’ll miss these samples a lot when I move! T_T
This looks like a great set! That was so sweet of them to find one for you and hold it! Go Sephora!
Yep! Go Sephora! :D I am looking forward to the next 500 point reward. Hope it’s as good as this BB set!
