Ooo you should definitely let us know what you think about those bouncy blushes once you've had a chance to use them!  I'm considering picking one up the next time I see them.  Love the colors you chose!

I could never get the bouncy blushes to work for me.  I thought the texture was really cool, but I tried applying them with my fingers and with a brush, but  I couldn't get enough color/pigment out of them and I have fair skin!!!  Hopefully you guys will have better luck with these than I did.  I love that Color Tattoo, Tough as Taupe is one of my favorites.

I've been on a NYX fit lately. I ordered the Butt Naked Eyes palette and a little set the name of which I cannot remember; I can hardly call it a palette because it is very small; it contains 9 neutral shadows and two lip glosses. The Butt Naked Eyes is a really nice set that also includes four blushes, a bronzer and two illuminators. I also picked up Pinched blush, three lipsticks (Topaz, Minimalist and Lala) and a bronzer-blush combo, I think the color is called Ibiza.

Thank you so much for sharing your opinion of them!!  Maybe now I can resist the cuteness of them.  Or if I can't, I'll at least buy just one  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Its a love it or hate it kind of product...hopefully it works for you!!  Maybelline is usually one of my only drugstore "go to" brands...I love the Fit Me Concealer, the Color Tattoo cream shadows, the new nude lipstick line, some of their mascaras are good; I was really hoping to like those, but I couldn't make it work, and I recently went through my stash and I had two of these that didn't make the cut and ended up in the trash.

I have been a little make-up crazy lately. I donated "my stash" as I call it to my 13 year old cousin just so I have an excuse to buy new and re-stock. My fiance is about to have a coronary. lol. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Recent purchases include:

Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation in N30 ($42) - Ohhhhhmygoodness. I feel like I have found the Holy Grail of foundations here. Completely matte and keeps it that way. My face neverrrr looks like an oil slick now. Woo hoo. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Smashbox More Than Primer ($42) - Had to splurge on this. So far it seems to be helping control my breakouts. Plus, you can never go wrong with Smashbox primers.

stila In The Light palette ($39) - This will be my first stila experience. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> This is on order from Amazon's new luxury department. My works gives out 100$ gift cards every so often for a staying healthy bonus, and they didn't offer a Sephora option this time... just Wal-Mart and Amazon. So, I thought I'd use that 100$ towards some new make-up plus try Amazon's new luxury service. Two birds, one stone, right? Can anyone give reviews on this if you've tried it? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Maybelline ColorSensation Gloss in Captivating Coral ($5.50) - I love love love coral lip colors.

Flower Loose Powder in Shade L02 ($8.00) - I actually hate this, it is entirely too dark for me and I'll actually try to sell or trade this probably.

LORAC Unzipped Palette ($40) - This will also be my first LORAC experience. And again.. this is on order from Amazon. Reviews on this palette as well?

LORAC Front Cover Amazon Exclusive Collection (Limited Edition) ($32) - Okay... it's limited edition, so I HAD to add this to my bag too. lol. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's going to include: 4 single eyeshadows in After Party, Cellebutante, Star Quality, & Delight ; PRO mascara ; Baked Blush in Velvet Rope ; and Lips With Benefits gloss in Nick. All 7 items are full-size plus there's a LORAC make-up bag that comes with it.

So... in addition to my ipsy, Birchbox, & Beauty Box 5 coming in the mail... I'm also freaking out wanting this other stuff to come in too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I freaking love the Stila In the Light Palette. The shadows aren't super soft or buttery, but they blend really well and the color selection is fabulous. Who doesn't want Kitten in their life? Perfect highlight, perfect for inner corner of the eye, perfect to go under or over other colors and transform them. I bought this as an individual shadow as well. Bliss is my go to transition shade for my crease, and then you have a great selection of light, medium, and dark colors that all work really well with each other. This is perfect for a summery copper smoky eye. I know a lot of people hate on the smudge sticks that come in these palettes but mine worked great, it's a dark matte brown perfect for the water line without being too harsh. There's so many really cool looks that you can do with this palette. I am pretty fair with blonde hair and there are a lot of color combinations that work on me. I also like that both a black and a brown are included to darken things up. I don't think this palette gets enough love. I have the In the Garden palette and I really enjoy that as well, will probably use it a lot this spring. These palettes are good for travel, for me the packaging is not luxurious, but it's not ugly so I can deal with that. My In the Light has a mirror, but my In the Garden does not..weird. Hope this is helpful, I think you will really enjoy this! I want to get my hands on the unzipped palette, but I'm working on using what I already have. Hear great things about this one too!

You are a doll for reviewing this for me. And you suprised me as well because I didn't even realize a smudge stick came with the palette. When I read your review I went back and looked at it on Amazon, and it does! This makes me soooo super happy cause I wanted to try one but didn't want to fork over that much money for an eyeliner when my go-to is only 5$ lol.

I think I'm more excited about the Unzipped than I am the In the Light... I just think it's going to get more use. I'll let you know if it lives up to the hype! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[lovepink]

Got my Sephora perfume order today with the 3x points.



Got the 2 glamglows and Floribotanica for my 3 samples and used the code SCENT4U for the black bag and 7 samples.  I got the classic crush one.

I think Unzipped has better overall quality of the shadows, I am sure you will love it....you really have me thinking about it now...I'm snowed in so there's nothing to do but look at makeup online!!

I am blaming you for the order I just placed on Too Faced. lol. They are my weakness, that's why I unsubscribed to their mailing list. I was spending hundreds on their sales because you can get sooooo much for so little. So, yeah... Too Faced 20% off sale has officially been shopped. My fiance is going to kill me. ;x lol.

I feel like if I make the purchases on different days it doesn't really count as much???  I'm waiting until tomorrow, but I'll probably get something from Too Faced... but I can't do that AND the Urban Decay sale.

I have an UD lipstick that I've had my eye on for a week or two...and maybe a eyeshadow and an eyeliner.  So we'll see, I'll probably set up a shopping cart at each one and add stuff into the cart and take it out for the next day or two.

I've been doing that on UD too! lol. But with all the palettes I just bought, I really can't justify the reason I NEED a new Naked palette.

And I bought Shadow Insurance (regular AND candlelight) when I purchased TF, so I can't say I have to have the primer potion.

I need to be looking for blushes, lip sticks, lip liners, finishing powders, and brushes. But I can never resist the eye products. :x

Oh yeah... since I ordered from them again... TF re-added me to their mailing list.. and I have another 20% purchase sitting in my e-mail inbox taunting me. Hmm.. maybe next week... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[angie828]

I just bought some ELF goodies.  I got the makeup setting spray, some lipglosses, the green primer and the sparkly eye primer.

 

[LuckyMoon]

From Sephora:  Hourglass ambient lighting powder in Diffused Light - I love this so much.  It's so worth the money and I wish I had bought it sooner. Can't wait for the blushes to come back in stock.

Bite agave lip mask - Not impressed.  It leaves a weird film/taste in my mouth (so gross).  Might take it back.

Went to Ulta today to get the Revlon matte lip balms.  Every one of them was opened & used/swatched.  Guess not.

this has probably been said 500,000 times, but between the shady associates (that really represent a specific brand) and the opened products, i pretty much gave up shopping in store at ulta. 

 

[trustlust]

Oops... I did it again.

In addition to all the things I've bought since Saturday... I went out today bought:

CK IN2U Perfume and Body Moisturizer ($29.99) - Eeeeeppp! This is what I use to wear in high school, and I figured they discontinued it because I just couldn't find it one day. Butttttttt TJ Maxx had the combo. Woo hoo! Smells so dang good!

L'OREAL HydraPerfecte Perfecting Loose Powder ($9.97) - My favorite powder that every Wal-Mart in the world ran out of right when I needed some. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Finally got it!

Maybelline LipLiner in Clear ($1) - Sooo.. this is a new product/formula formulated for the ColorSensation line... it didn't have a UPC on it, so the cashier gave it to me for a dollar. lol. I'll let ya'll know how this works.

TWO Maybelline Elixirs in Glistening Amber & Celestial Coral ($8.50 each) - Been wanting to try these.. will post a review soon.

Plus I bought my B&BW Twlight Woods shower gel. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I need to stop spending all this money.
