I love Deborah Lippmann nail polish. I'll admit I have more than a few of her polishes
I recently bought Stronger (made with Kelly Clarkson)
Very cool!  Now I want to try that one too lol I kept seeing the Across the Universe one online, so I finally picked up a bottle when I saw it in the store.  I'm a bit late getting on the wagon, so I'm slowly building a collection of what I like through trial-and-error. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Finally got the Naked2 palette! It's really weird that a set of eyeshadows can get some people so excited. It came along with one of Sephora's "bllitz" bags, including a little tube of Black Honey, so I'm pretty much blissed out on makeup for November, Now time to stop shopping for makeup and start on NaNoWriMo....anyone else participating this year?

I've participated the past few years but never actually completed the word count ever. I usually start losing steam half way through. =( It's still a hella fun thing to do in November if you got the time. It's funny though, the year i decided not to participate, my bf decides to jump on board the nanowrimo wagon. ~.~

I went to the mall with my hubby this evening. I had just had the longest last few weeks and lots of my obligations wrapped up today so ... he said SPLURGE! haha especially since I have the 20% off VIB sale.

Sephora 

- Sephora Favorites - Super Stars ... LOVE IT, so nice because most everything is either full size or great deluxe size.

- HourGlass - Hidden Corrective Concealer - Pearl ... I'm a huge fan of hourglass, have been ever since I bought their veil primer a few years ago.

Walmart

Baby Lips - Pink punch... this is brighter than I thought it was gonna be. I like these baby lips, but I like the Fresh lip balms better.

I wish I had the time to participate in nanowrimo.. it's always been one of my goals but November is always such a busy month for me. When do you find the time to write?

They always recommend us to set aside fixed times just for writing. For me, i always wrote during my morning and night commutes on the bus and train. Their online community is also really fun and when you join, you can get sorted by local regions and they send you newsletters with info on local nanowrimo sponsored locations where participants meet/gather and just write and get their word count up.

National Novel Writing Month.  Basically, it's a way/reason to buckle down and write that novel you've always wanted to, with goals, structure, and support.  It happens every November.

I have the Julep Northern lights set on my wish list.  Let me know how you like it please.

Oh God, so.... I went online on my birthday and went on a little bit of a sephora binge. It hasn't shipped yet (though I ordered three days ago- that doesn't make me super happy) but I got a friggin TON of free stuff (birthday, 8 sample kit, + 3 extra samples) and I'm just so darn excited. I can't wait till it arrives. The two things I actually bought were- beautyblender Solid Sponge Cleanser and Bulls Eye Lash Applicator (because I struggle with false lashes no matter what and a friend suggested I try this soooo *fingers crossed* and I did not know I needed something special to clean this sponge. LOVE the sponge but it gets dirty really quickly -obviously- and I've damn near killed this one trying to get it clean.)  

I'll post a picture of my haul when it arrives. Gawd I love free stuff. As someone who is newer (ish) to buying from places like sephora or mac (aka what I would consider higher end) I'm pleased as peas so far with stuff. (and I get points with every dollar spent and that goes towards MOAR FREE STUFF!  Oh god it just makes my insanely gleeful. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE?! LOVE free stuff. Can't take advantage of any of the perfumes due to allergies but good golly gosh I will try everything else! )

Eeeee, I've got some stuff in my wishlist that I'm going to go after next once I test this stuff out. I'm truly excited because one of the kits has the urban decay eyeshadow primer that I've heard very good things about. (normally I use lotion which works fine but I've got super thin lids and sensitive skin which usually equals burning eyes by the end of the day even if my make-up is awesome all day.)  Why does buying make-up make me want to stand outside waving a sign that says "WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THAT LIPSTICK IS FABULOUS?!" (seriously. I hated lipstick till recently when I found the right colors for me and learned to seal it -so I don't look like the joker five minutes in- with a matte powder. BTW if anyone knows a good deep red with more purple tones than orange matte eyeshadow I would love you forever- I've looked al over and can't seem to find one without shimmers.)

That's such a cute little set. Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes is my HG mascara, I use it all the time. Not so long ago I picked up a similar set from Sephora except the eye lash curler is gold and instead of Lights, Camera, Lashes it came with the new version; Lights, Camera, Flashes. It was a nice way to try the new version of my fave mascara but I did not like it (actually threw it in the trash). The original, that you got, is my personal fave

Oh, good to know. So far I tried out the mascara and loooooved it (super rare for me- and I've got really sensitive eyes that almost everything bugs, BUT this mascara was fine all day for me.)  Personally I'm not keen on gold (unless it's the loose goldilocks powder from sugerpill- that is my one "gold exception" and it looks AMAZING which is rare to have gold look good on my skin.) so I probably wouldn't have gone for the Flashes version.  Just curious but what was it about the Flashes version that was offputting enough to toss?  (I'll admit I hoard even make-up I hate on the off chance that "I MIGHT use it.")
