I'm lovin the purse too. Makes me wish I bought others when they were in my store!

Sooo went to my Ulta yesterday and lookie what I found! I was like 

 seriously?! I snatched it up quickly. The packaging is sooo nice & the shadows are very pretty (haven't used it yet though!).  Sometimes I feel like my makeup is just too pretty to use LOL.



Also picked up a Nyx eyebrow pencil to try and one of the new Maybelline baby lips

I have really pigmented lips, so I went with a dark berry colour, but I think I got a shade that is a bit too dark.

Ignore the crazy application on one side, it's been a long time since I applied any colour to my lips.



Thanks so much for posting this! It looked so good on you. I think we had similar issues with pigmented lips and a whatever that crayon Ipsy sent out last month, unless I'm thinking of someone else. I've been wanting a lip color that would show up on my lips without looking like they were being muted and managed to find the last one of this color (and unopened) at my Walmart. I'm not used to wearing dark (or any) color on my lips, but I think I probably should. As my husband didn't actually notice it when I asked how it looked, I simply assume that it didn't look horrible and outlandish.

Thanks! After wearing it a couple times, I must say that I am amazed at how long it lasts. I love that it sets really fast, and nothing budges it. I might have to go back and buy a few in pink shades. I just wish there were open testers so I could try them on my hand first. Instead, I have to look at swatches online and remember the names, which is a pain.

I went to Sephora and returned a Stila matte shadow palette I purchased. I bought The Balm's matt/e nude palette so returned the other. I'm kinda sick of Sephora, I have explored their website over and over.. and just I dunno went in a ton. So i'm over it for right now. I'm gonna have a pop over to the Ulta site tonight. 

Anyway I didn't get anything from Sephora, but I did get a few things from MAC. 

I bought .. 

2 MAC Lipsticks 

- High Tea

- Viva Glam VI 

1 MAC blush 

- mineralized gentle 

Saku... & anyone with the UD Vice 2 palette, 

What kind of everyday looks can you do with the colors? I'm a little worried that I wouldn't be able to wear their brighter shades mostly just because it's certainly not something I could wear to work. 

I'm in a professional setting where I need to dress business casual 5 days a week. Thoughts?

That's the same thing I bought. I really wanted the nude lipstick but couldn't find it.

Walgreens haul:



The Wet n Wild pop art trios, I got all they had except the red and black one. I had been eying them online but never saw them in my store until today, they were in a hidden display!

Jordana pencils in various blue, green, purple colors...cheap and I was looking for pretty colors to put underneath my shadow liners to make it stay longer.

And fiiiinally, they had the villains! I wanted all of them, but I settled on my two favorites. So excited about these!

And then two of the Fantasy Makers glitter palettes, because it's almost halloween and because I can!

Then, I passed this new warehouse type store they just opened. I went in and got really excited because they had nail polishes 5 for $6! All in a bin and I didn't have much time to dig, but I grabbed some:



Excited! I need to dig around in there more, they had a bin of Burt's Bees products 2 for $6 and lots of body wash, shampoo, etc. Had my dog in the car so I couldn't look around much. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Awesome haul!

I'm kinda over Sephora right now too. Now that I have Flash, I rarely visit their site. Ulta has been my muse lately.

I'm also in a professional setting and I wore Ambush all over the lid and Habit as a brow highlight to work. The only colors in this palette that are suitable for work (in my opinion) are Radar, Derailed, and the 5 shadows on the bottom row. Habit and Rewind are the only two mattes in the palette. Temptalia posted really nice looks that could be worn everyday using Toxic (inner lid), Radar (middle of lid), Ambush (outer lid), Derailed (crease) and another using Habit (inner lid), Toxic (middle of lid), Ambush (outer lid), Smokeout (outer crease). She created a few other looks that I could definitely wear everyday too.

Great minds think alike. I read somewhere that the Nude lipstick sold out within the first hour of release.

Uh... I'll have to post a photo and more details later, but I just picked up five Pacifica spray fragrances, one solid fragrance, and four room sprays at their warehouse sale for $24. Total. The spray fragrances are usually $22 *each*. I'm thinking I might have to save most of them until I get my Secret Santa person on the off chance they have one of these on their list. I'm claiming the orange blossom one, though. I've been wanting a neroli single-note perfume for a couple of years now, and this is close enough for my purpose.

That's AMAZING.

 Super jealous!

That's incredible! Another reason to want to move to Portland.

Photo! I'm posting this now and will add details shortly.

The sprays with the white tops are room sprays (I was thrilled to see these because candles and room diffusers are REALLY BAD IDEAS with my monster infestation!) from Aroma Naturals. Ambience (orange & lemongrass), Peace (orange, clove, and cinnamon), Meditation (patchouli & frankincense), and Relaxing (lavender & tangerine). The Pacifica perfume sprays not in boxes are Persian Rose, Lotus Garden, and Nerola Orange Blossom. And, of course, in the boxes are Vanilla Vera Cruz spray, Madagascar Spice spray, and Sandalwood solid. The room sprays and the solid were $2 each. The perfume sprays, on the other hand... Here's what happened with the perfume sprays: They're $6 each. All Pacifica-branded items (diffusers, lotions, candles, etc.) have a special price when you buy five of them. The sign on the tent wall said the sprays were $6 each or 5 for $16. I double-checked the sign several times because, uh, that's a *really* good deal. When I got to the cashier, it turned out they were *actually* supposed to be 5 for $24. Still a good deal, but I wasn't sure I wanted all five for that price since it's a lot of fragrance. But! She gave them to me for the 5-for-$16 price. And then told the guy who made the signs that he had messed up. I might go back tomorrow at around 2pm (it ends at 4pm, but I think I'm going to a movie around 3:30) and see if they have marked anything down even further. (I did *not* get any shower gels! This is actually an accomplishment for me.)

Extremely jealous! I am obsessed with Pacifica. Which is your favorite? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Those are beautiful colors. I may or may not have bought 4 purses lol, but  I didn't get the one you  have.

Lol that is true! I feel like the nude one was the unicorn of the collection, I know it exist but I have only seen it on blogs and Ebay and I refuse to pay $100 for a lipstick hope they are some good dupes out there.

This beauty came in the mail today! It's "Strawberry Cosmo" - Laquerlicious. I am in LOVE!!! I wanted to order it back in September, but was on a nailpolish no-buy, so I waited. I ordered it October 1st, and can definitely say it was definitely worth the wait! When she has a sale, I will definitely try more off her Etsy site. I need to post swatches; it's gorgeous! 💗💗💗

Before makeup my first love was purses. Since I am not in the states my little brother went to a target close to his house at opening time and skyped me and he got me the purses I wanted. He even ended up giving me one as a gift. He was surprised by the madness of all the women trying to get purses.
