Sephora have the KVD Metal Matte palette, my current fave, which I've had three months and adore, for half what I paid for it - and I got it in person at Sephora in October.

I'm glad I got it when I did, but... ouch!

Well I've laid a complaint, I don't care. A $20 discount wouldn't have annoyed me as much as a freakin FIDDY DOLLA ONE >:( and none of the words I want to call them are BR safe :'( hahaha

yeah i don't think it sold as well as they'd hoped because the price was expensive and everyone went mental over the ABH, Kylie Jenner and Huda ones (which I don't understand) and kinda missed this one.

It's spectacular, but... meh. Luckily I've just redeemed my Sephora birthday gift, to make me feel better!

Oh I hate when this happens! It always happens after you've waited so long for an item and suddenly decide to buy it then it comes in special a week later! 50% off is even worse too!!

I hate it when that happens. It's happened to me twice recently things that were never on sale then suddenly went to clearance after I finally brought them.

this is where my procrastination about buying things helps...I wait soooooo long humming and haaaing that eventually they go on sale and I buy.

   Yes this has happened to me many times. Especially annoying when you had to scrimp and save and forgo certain food items.

   But if it does make you feel better, Trudi and Shaz, I did keep a close eye on that palette at Sephora.nz because I was tossing up whether to get it or not and it did sell out and disappear before it came at back half price. If you click on it, you'll find it's a "waitlist me" item but if you look there are some limited edition items that have waitlist me for months. So you can go on the waitlist but it's probably sold out. I think if you want one you'd have to check the KVD website and see if they still have it in stock.

I'm the opposite usually - buy something impulsively then get frustrated when it's half price next week. I'm getting better though, I wait for enticements now as there's always someone else trying to sell the same thing - and shopping via the internet helps heaps - may the best man win :)

Supposedly it was an error, and it wasn't supposed to be listed as $48. They've taken it off the site to "ammend the incorrect details"

I think Sephora has had a few pricing issues. It definitely sucks when you buy something and that happens. I guess someone would have been stoked to grab a bargain though.
