But they also had a clearance table, and then the nice lady came over and told me the clearance stuff was an additional 25% off... and then I lost my head:



This is valued at $113, was originally sold for $68, now on sale at the website for $34, but in the Sephora store for $29... with 25% off, I paid just over $24 (stupid tax!).  Green is my favorite color, and I just fell in love with all the pretties!  Can't wait to try the green mascara!

And of course, my birthday gift 

And tomorrow starts my low-buy!

Nice haul, enjoy your goodies!

Well...I have about 15 things in my cart on the NYX site and I have edited it multiple times but just stewing on if I should order. It's 30% off...should I?

Lol ok...I will shortly. Anything from them that you all just love? I have some of their stuff and like it. In case any one else feels like they MUST also order...the code is NYX30. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's a really, *really* dangerous store.  I basically have to go there only when I am getting *one* thing (and I have to know in advance what I'm getting), and I have to march in, grab that one thing, and get out.  And I have to very carefully avoid looking at the things in the middle section of the store because that's where the lipstick and eyeliner are, and those are *huge* weaknesses.

And now I have to head out and try to keep my shopping impulses reined in.  I'm meeting my family for what is sure to be a very ill-fated lunch (they picked a place where I can have *one* thing -- french fries -- in an artsy shopping area.  I am sure to drown my really-horrific-lunch crankiness in purchases, although on the up side, they will probably be things like socks, Stash Tea, and graphic novels, aka an autumn cocooning kit).

The items I ended up getting from Rite Aid last week during the 40% off Wet 'n Wild sale:



I Have Good Jeans, Sweet as Candy, Cool as a Cucumber







The liner is indeed water proof and remnants lasted through my cleansing oil, a foam cleanser and a shower the next morning.  Sadly, I can't seem to get a good opaque line with it though.  I'm going to try a brush next as opposed to the stylus tip it has.  Total price for everything was $7.76

It was definitely the star of the three trios I got!   The gold and silver were incredibly pigmented, and the blue can be built up nicely

Thanks for the swatches! I keep eyeing Sweet as Candy whenever I see it and I think I might go ahead and finally get it. Maybe cool as a cucumber, too. I had thought the aubergine would come out brighter and so had shied away before. I could definitely use that around the office.

*Whew*.  I made it out of Fred Meyer with only things on my shopping list!  And no makeup!  Not even the essence orange lip sheer I had decided I would be allowed if I found it (which I did.  I picked it up, carried it around for five minutes, and PUT IT BACK!).  My purchases for the day:  Groceries, personal care items that I really did need, socks that I also need since I have this problem with running my big toes through just about every pair of socks I own within a year or two of purchase (okay, I didn't *need* the Ashi Dashi midcalf pencil socks, but I did need new holeless socks, so it was only a half-splurge, two of the other pairs were fairly basic, and the fourth pair was free), tea (Red Velvet herbal tea!  Two variations of Earl Grey! Something else herbal I can't recall!), and the first volume of _Chew_ (because, really, how can I possibly be expected to pass on a graphic novel about an FDA agent who gets psychic impressions from things he eats, up to and including the corpses of murder victims?).  (And Oscar has already taken a chomp on the spine of the book.  Appropriate given the title and the fact that it's dedicated to Battythecat, a kitty that lived 1997-2010.)

Um.  Warning:  If you have a problem with spree-buying cute socks, don't click on those sock links.  If you don't understand why someone can be bonkers over *socks* of all things, set aside an hour or so and explore that site.  These are probably my absolute favorites, but I'm always trying out new styles to see if there's another one I like even more.

I got some "honey I washed the kids" soap and a sea salt scrub from Lush...it was my first purchase there and I feel guilty because it was SO expensive for two small things. Someone please validate...

I'm sure you work very hard. Life is short. You need to treat yourself. I always get buyer remorse. But learn that it is ok to enjoy fancy things once in awhile.

It's expensive, but that's just because you're used to buying cheap stuff with inexpensive ingredients.  This stuff is not filled with all of the synthetic fillers that places like Bath & Body Works use in order to keep costs/prices down.  It's better for the world.

(Uhoh, checking out the ingredients dropped me down the Liberty Bottleworks rabbithole.  On the up side, it's all about shopping for Christmas presents for my family.  Both sides are from the town where those bottles happen to be made -- and, coincidentally on the subject of honey, my great-grandmother was a beekeeper/honey harvester in a town near that town about a hundred years ago.  Uh, I think we actually lived on the street where the headquarters are now located back in the '70s.  That address looks *really* familiar.  Bizarroland.)

Aw thanks so much, that helped! It made my hands feel awesome when I tried it at the store.

I recently made my first Lush purchase (we were out of town) this summer.  It is really expensive but my daughter and I love the lip scrubs, shower gels and bath bombs we got.  All the items will last us a long time (we even break apart the bath bombs for multiple uses 

).  Everyone deserves a treat and bath products (and make-up & nail polish) are my guilty pleasures!

Enjoy your Lush items!!

I just purchased one of the Sephora by OPI nailpolishes because the newest 100 point perk is an Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick mini for anyone that is interested. I have flash shipping, so I don't have to pay the shipping fee. I've hear the color is in Catfight, so I'm pretty excited because I really want to try the brighter colors, but I didn't really want to spend $22 in order to do so. I love the colors I have already and the formula is awesome, so I can't wait for my little package to get here!

Tempting, especially with flash shipping (which I don't have)!  Maybe I should mosey on over anyhow....
