Their most recent box is sold out.  It is an online only item so I'd keep an eye out here or their site for the next one to be released!

I recently went on a little mini splurge at Ulta and Sephora lol. I got the Anastasia dip brow pomeade which is my absolute fav right now, maybelline baby skin (didn't like so much), Urban Decays naked finishing powder, Loracs porefection baked powder, Loreals lip balm, a few Eco tool brushes, a flower lip balm in Mauve it over (kinda chalky), Revlons laquer balm (love), 2 Ulta nail polishes for $4 and I believe that's it lol. Now that Ulta has their 21 days of beauty I might be going back very soon!

Just got back from a Birchbox+Benefit event and got a sample box that had Bad Gal Lash mini (don't like this.. I only use They're Real, all other mascara is inferior in my book lol), a mini tube of Stay Don't Stray, super nice, mini Creaseless Cream Shadow in No Pressure (will probably trade this, with the Bad Gal Lash, I have two full size creaseless cream shadows and never touch them.), and a mini It's Potent! Eye Cream which is super nice because I was hoping to test it out.  I bought The Big Easy in #4 and Play Sticks in Tea Party.  Really excited to try this concealer!  Maybe I'll kick my Erase Paste kick!

Nice! I've been interested in trying these brushes.

 

[kawaiihoots]

I got back from visiting family today and had some new pretties waiting for me... The Tarte be Mattenificent palette, (and the lipgloss I ordered rather than pay shipping lol) and the UD feminine palette. I reeaally need to stop buying eyeshadow now.

 

[kawaiihoots]

I got the Tarte energy set today too.  I also got the Tarte bright by night set.  They are both so tiny, but the minis are always so cute and a nice way to try these out.  I also got in this Sephora order Bronze Buffer self-tan removers.  Has anyone tried these?  Oh well, worth a try when my knees & elbows look all wonky with self tanner. Here's a photo (my samples are bigger than my purchases. lol):

Ooh, thanks for the picture, I'd been trying to visualize the size of the tarte items in those sets. I think I will need them if they're still there when Chic Week rolls around because TINY THINGS.

I don't like the cheek stain. I figured I didn't because basically, I don't know how to apply it. It seemed like it rubbed my makeup off. It was odd because it looks like a sheer, light pink in the tube, but it was instantly a medium pink color as soon as it touched my skin. Its pretty, but I just prefer powder. I really like the lip surgence though! Its a lot like the Dior one with the same concept, but its slightly darker than the Dior and smells minty.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I already own Dior Lip Glow so no need to own another pink ph adjusting color.

I have the tarte energy full size and the dior addict lip glow in coral. Both turn my lips the exact same color, a glowy hot pink. But I have very pigmented pink lips naturally. The biggest difference is the tarte is glossier on me and the actual product is softer and tends to want to break off if I swivel it up too much. The tarte also has a minty smell and tingle. The Dior is more balm than gloss and has a really nice vanilla smell. Both leave a nice stain for a while after. Neither are especially moisturizing. I like both. I agree the tarte is a really good sub especially at $10 for the mini. I go through the tarte way faster though cause it's meltier (is that a word?)

I love the Bronze Buffers, they're a lifesaver. Don't cut them, because the points are good for small spots like between fingers and toes, and for fixing little streaks without make a pale spot. Once it gets brown I toss it.

i did wash them right away and used it as soon as they're dry. they're unbelievably soft, but not floppy. i've only used it a couple of times so i haven't formulated my final thoughts on them yet, but so far so good!

i'd say they're worth it! i've had the eye brushes for a few months and they're great!

 

[trustlust]

It was an awesome mail day! I'm on a conditional no-buy until May 1, so my swap items are my drugs right now. lol. Got 3 packages from 3 amazing MUT ladies! Excited to play! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, I've been bad.

I'm justifying it, though, because I haven't bought any makeup since right before Christmas. I was determined to save so I could afford some of the items in the SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE Color of the Year Radiant Orchid Collection when it was released last week.

So....

I initially ordered the SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry Set (eyeshadow palette) and Gazing Paint Liquid EyeLiner. I was going to try to pick up the Rush Luster Cheek Sweep and Radiant Paint Gloss Trio in-store last weekend so I could get the free Radiant Orchid pouch, but that didn't work out. So I was THRILLED when I received an email earlier this week with a code to get the pouch with an online order of 25.00 or more. Naturally I ordered those two items I wanted just as quickly as I can type, used my code for the free pouch AND scored 5 free samples. Yea!

Received the palette and eyeliner on Wednesday, and the other items are coming next Tuesday.

I'm really happy I was able to discipline myself and not buy anything in January and February so I could get the Radiant Orchid items I was pining after.....Sephora really stepped up its game with this collection (I think it's far superior to the Tangerine Tango and Emerald collections of previous years) and I didn't want to bank on them being available at a discount in a couple of months. There's a good chance some of these items WILL sell out and I, for one, didn't want to MISS out on these pretties!
