haul: sephora vib sale

2023 Lindsay here, updating this post to trigger a re-"review" because of some unclear content violation on a post that is ~8.5 years old! 

• as far as i can tell, all of the photos included appear to be broken from the viewer side because the links are sooooo old! but, i am able to view the photos in edit mode. in hopes that the photos are the issue, i've deleted two photos below which i still don't feel are problematic, but whatever. the first of the photos deleted contained a screenshot of several sephora orders/purchases i had made in a week's timeframe, all with order numbers or store numbers blacked out. the second photo is of a bracelet with a coupon code (for the brand who made it) which has a clear expiration date for said code, which again was from 8+ years ago and surely is no longer valid.
• if this post was flagged because of an age thing, as there are photos of my face on nearly every post i've made here... i'm in my 30s now. when this was post was made, i was working on my second college degree and as noted in the original post--was preparing to start my career. i have clearly been of age since before this blog on blogger was even started (which by the way was circa 2013, with back-dated migrated posts from a prior blog/host), and not only that-- google should know i am of age as they are my host. 💸
• small grammar or punctuation edits, and adding one word here or there for "more context" 🙄 has been added in a small handful places, but i don't feel that those were an issue either.

this post, prior to my edits, literally included a small blurb about my day, photos of products i had purchased, product swatches, and photos of my face, with captioning of what those specific items purchased/used were. if these changes are not good enough--apparently me, my two college degrees, and 8 year career in corporate america (in the eCommerce development consulting area no less!) are failing. 🤷 in the event that this post is accessible again with no restrictions by the standards that be, that means my 'appeal' has been won, though i'm still irritated there was an issue to begin with.

to anyone in the current times, i do plan to come back to this blog at some point (i'm still paying for the domain!), but i'm not in the right headspace for it. 😵 more on that whenever it is that i am in the right headspace to talk about things! later. ~Lindsay

hi guys! i decided to do a separate haul post for things i got from the vib sale! some of the photos are disorganized because i went to the store multiple times and made online orders. ~Lin-chan ^.~

...i wasn't joking. (one of those on the 7th was T, with my gift coupon.)

it was pretty hilarious when we went to the vib rouge soiree party thingy. teh paul wanted to go to the grocery and i was like, uhh, i'm going to the mall. you can come with me but i'm going to the mall regardless. so we go there and sign in and all, and he's like man, i didn't realize that this 20% off thing was such a big deal. we both get our name tags, vib rouge lindsay & future vib rouge paul. LOL. in the whole time we wandered around the store, he never asked what rouge meant. he already knew that i got vib each year. but i was surprised. or maybe he's figured it out. i'm not sure. hahaha. or maybe he's not making a fuss because we will be fine financially once i start my job this summer..? anyway, he didn't complain that he wanted to leave or anything, and same with ulta, he liked all the philosophy christmas scents. it was very unusual, but it was nice that he wasn't trying to get me out of the stores..this time. hahaha.
