I think I went crazy today. Some how I dropped 69 bucks at ulta and 72 at Mac. I never spend this much on makeup.... I would gave spent even more if they had the too faced candy glow blush. In all, two Mac brushes, a paint pot, bare minerals foundation (it's really nice and fairly cheap), a NYC blush and jumbo pencil in milk, ulta brand lip crayon, a mini they're real mascara and a foundation brush. I'm slightly ashamed but also thinking about looking at sephora too while I'm out today. After this I definitely need to quit lol and..... after i posted this ended up hitting up sephora. picked up a buxom gloss in Erica... lol had to get my namesake gloss. It's actually one of the nicest lip glosses I've ever used. Totally worth it... but no more makeup for me for a while. Im actually super impressed by the quality of everything I bought. Came home and tried it on and it's really nice. Better than I thought it would be... especially the foundation, makes my skin look flawless. I might just be a convert to the Bare Escentuals tribe.

Now that you've had a chance to thoroughly test them out, who's your favorite of the ones you've bought so far?
but i love them all! and they all have different uses! everything turned out to be perfect for what i imagined i'd use them for..... but if i'd only pick just one out of the ones i got, i'd pick j110...but i really love them all, and don't want to pick just one!

I buy makeup on eBay all the time, and so far only had two semi-bad experiences that the sellers made right.  One was an Urban Decay lipstick that had obviously been tested and had the tip chopped off to try to hide it.  The seller refunded my money.  The second was just this weekend - I ordered an OPI shade I'm Indi-A Mood For Love (it's discontinued and a gorgeous looking bright pink with purple tones) and what I received is some orangey-red shade that looks really old and has no label on the bottom, as well as some weird black bubbles floating in it.  The seller refunded my money and I'm tossing that bottle she sent and I already ordered a new one from a seller with 100% feedback.

I just read feedback before I buy - if a seller has a lot of neutrals or negatives I don't buy.  If they only have a few neutrals/negatives out of a lot of sales I give them a chance.  Most sellers are really fantastic about making things right if something arrives used/broken/not as described.  I recently got great deals of the UD Shattered face case and 2 UD lipglosses/1 lipstick on eBay - it was a major score!

What she said. I've gotten some great scores on eBay with MAC and UD products. Read feedback carefully

If you buy makeup on eBay - just make sure its the real.  If it seems too good to be true it probably is!  Especially if its shipped overseas from Asia.

This is what I'm dealing with right now. I ordered the Clarisonic Mia 2 from some seller in Oklahoma and yet my tracking said it was coming from China. Not a happy girl and hoping eBay will make this cluster right.

Haha! definitely check out j544 too, it's a great multitasker for cream products. also, j5521 for highlighting/contouring. OK, those are my top three (out of the 5 face brushes i got lately).

I had a MEGA awesome find in makeup today! The first find was this



A Tarina Tarantino Jewel Box Palette. I just so stumbled upon it, in almost perfect condition (has some dings on the box but just the outer box). And I looked it up and the selling price of this is $78? And I saw on some sites where they have some on sale now for like $35? But I got it for even cheaper than that! I managed to snag this great find for only $24 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It comes with 16 shadows, a pearl glow primer, a lipgloss, and a mascara. 

The next things I found at the same place were





MAC's Tartan Tale collection. The red being the Dazzle The Lads and the yellow Noble Knights Lash & Line. Amazingly both of these were only $15 each. Great condition as they were in safety boxes with everything inside wrapped up and untouched. So it has made it let me expand MAC in my makeup collection without spending the same price for just 2 lipsticks. 

And the Tarina Tarantino box I found at Marshall's and the 2 MAC sets were found at Bealls.

Got my BareMinerals order in today! All this for $1.08! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Got the lipgloss in Dreamer.

 

[DeSha]

Checked out the Nyx display at my local cvs and nabbed a few things. I love, love, love the eyebrow marker! I also got the matte setting spray.

J5521 was actually number two on my list so it's good to hear yet another positive review that validates that choice. Off to ogle the J544 even though I don't really use any cream products... (My wallet is now rocking itself in the corner, quietly sobbing about how empty inside it feels)

Just got my shipment from Cinema Swatch Laquers (an Indie nail brand) and everything smells so good! Probably not well known here as she sells online and at art/craft shows and boutiques in Indiana. Deleted Scenes nail polish remover: has no smell on application but when dry smells like almond cherry cookies. They have lots of flavors and I want to try chocolate orange next. Feels similar to zoya remover. Set of three Spring finger fizzies. These are like bath bombs but for manicure or pedicure. And a travel sized cuticle balm in "ginger coconut key" Each were $5. $18 total after shipping

I love discovering new little brands like this. Especially when they have a nice quirk, like good smelling nail polish remover.

Last night I FINALLY went to London drugs (we don't have them back in my hometown) and they have NYX! I hear so much about NYX stuff and have a list of things I wanna try. I bought a brow cake product (2 colours and gel) because I have NO eyebrow products left, and an eyeshadow primer. That place will be dangerous for me, lol
