Good taste!  I love Exfolikate!  I always buy that size, too.  It'll last awhile.

As for the Tarte oil, apply 2-3 drops to your hands and apply to your face in the evenings after cleansing, but before moisturizing. Similar to argan oil, but supposedly this stuff is even better so best reserved for face. (Whereas argan oil is used all over.  I love using it on my hands.)

Face oils are amazing!  I like to use them before yoga to nourish my (washed) face while I nourish my mind and body in downward dog. I also use them when I get a little dry or sallow and need a pick me up.  I need to try my sample of the Tarte oil but my fav is one I got from Birchbox: olie biolique or something like that. It's Argan oil plus others. If my eyelids get puffy its my go to and it works every time. And my skin beams when I use it. It's pricey enough I only use it sparingly like 1-2 times a week at most. I also use Josie maran Argan oil but seems to be more of a summer grab for me.

Thank you!  Is it okay to use on blemish-prone skin?  The thought of putting oil on my face kinda worries me.  I've only used oils on my hair.

 
Last night I bought two more of the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate lipsticks, this time in 08 (tea rose, according to reviews) and 107 (berry red). I already had the 04 which is a purple. I wore that one to an erotic art event (The Dirty Show if anyone is familiar) and it looked great, very little fading, and no ring around the lips. I did use a Rimmel Exaggerate lip liner underneath it. And actually, that lip liner in Addiction is almost the exact same color as the 08 I bought last night. I had used the lip liner as a lip color earlier on in the day for a make-up look tutorial and really liked it, so I decided I needed a real lipstick in that color. And I have been wanting a berry colored lipstick for a while.

I also got some powder puffs and yet another pressed powder in my search for the perfect one.

Most people say it improves their skins and blemishes.  Unfortunately you cant know how your face responds until you try it - but I'd try it.

 
I bought some cute Chinese Laundry flats, some shorts and a neon orange/pink t-shirt yesterday.. so much for no-buy.

 
Well, I bought the Z Palette size Large Leopard print a little over a week ago and I was so super excited to get it in the mail today (tracking stated today) and I didn't get anything....so I JUST NOW checked the tracking and it says: Notice Left (it's USPS)....oh good grief....there was NO notice. I was home till after 3 and I went outside to get the mail at noon. The mail always comes between 9 and 11. The mail was in the mailbox and my doorbell was not rung at all lol......drat that mailman! Haha, my father was a postal worker for 25 years and he said: "Hrm...he probably got back to the post office, saw he forgot to deliver the package, went UHOH and entered in that he tried to deliver it, but no one was home."......well that's just rude!

lol

 
Actually today I just bought the NARS concealer in Armande. I'm really itching to buy another deep conditioner but I already have fifteen.
Edit: Just got another Tom Ford Eye Shadow Quad, Laura Mercier Water Proof Mascara, Clinique Moisturizer for the face and an Elie Tahari Leather jacket.
 
Ive bought Laurie Mercier pot which has 2 concealers, bought secert brighting powder, and primer. I bought  the nude pallet by Balm, tarte blush in two shades, Mac mineral powder, Benefit blush in 2 shades, urban decay pallet, Mary Lou from balm and a benefit pallet. 

 
My most recent purchase was from Mynt Box (http://www.myntbox.com), a jewelry subscription box company. I think they are pretty new so I didn't really know what to expect, but from the look of their website and items in their jewelry shop I had to have it! I checked out their social networks they have a huge following already and they seem like an awesome company.

I got my first box last week and the jewelry I got was amazing. For only $30 they sent me 5 pieces of jewelry that I know I could have easily spent at least $100 on. 

I can't wait for next month to get my box. Mynt Box is seriously the Birch Box of jewelry. That's why I'm currently subscribed to both. The best beauty and jewelry subscription boxes! Love it.

 
I just bought the Coastal Scents Go Palette Collection (7 palette and they have them on sale! The whole collection is, I believe, 50% off! and the individual palettes are $5
biggrin.gif
) and I went ahead and bought their 12 piece brush set and used my Ipsy 25% off code. I have their 22 piece but there are some brushes that are apart of the 12 piece that aren't in the 22 piece and gee, a girl can always use more makeup brushes

First off this purse I'm extremely happy I got. Such a steal too. ELF Bronzing brush, had enough of using the same brush for blush and bronzer. ELF eyeshadow brush, girl can never have to much of those. Maybelline eye makeup remover.
 
I got the Holika Holika Clearing petit BB cream. I'm excited to try it on my face. this is my first adventure into a "real" bb cream. except that hanskin sample that Sample society sent out. blech. :/ the holika smells nice though. like Jergen's natural glow before they made it not smell like anything. I personally liked that smell, it smelled kinda sweet. like cocoa butter-ish. lol and the sally's ad where it says that you get a free color/treatment of the old orly bottles with a $3.00 purchase, the ad says until the 18th, but the stores only said till the 10th so I got her to give it to me free anyway. so I bought China Glaze's Jungle Queen and got Orly's Mermaid tale for free and then my boyfriend bought me China Glaze's Rare And Radiant and got Orly's Cotton Candy for free. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Had to make a CVS run today for my hubby's prescription and milk and I totally just got lost perusing the makeup lol....he said money is tight so I only was able to sneak in two little things lol...FINALLY got the Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Electric Blue and it's SO gorgeous. I also got the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in Brightener and I had a question about it....I was torn between Fair and this one, and I went ahead and opted to go with the Brightener but I was wondering which was better and why? I have fair pale skin but deep dark blue-ish circles that are both hereditary and because of my pale skin...plus I stay up late lol Anyone have any experience between the two???

ulta.com says that the brightener is to add a "luminous touch" so its like a highlighter and can be used anywhere you would highlight. and then the colors would be to conceal. eg. fair, light, medium..etc. they also have a neutralizer if your dark circles are really intense that you would use underneath the concealer.

See I looked really hard at the Fair and I was like...um....that looks tan-ish to me lol, the brightener looked like it had some salmon/pink tones to it. Does the fair shade go on lighter after applied? My skin is very peachy pink pale including rosacea, so my face usually has a redish tint. I usually shy away from tan tinted products. They have a neutralizer huh? I didn't see it, then again, it was CVS, doesn't surprise me lol I think I'll check out Ulta and see if they have it there! Thanks!

I have it in light and it looks darker in the bottle than it does when you actually apply it. mine is like borderline too light for me. but I make it work. lol

I have the dark circle eraser one in light/medium and it leaves a horrible orange cake on my face (I have a medium complexion) anywhere I put it. It seemed to me all of the color choices were on the dark side. I keep trying to make it work because past the color issue its an excellent concealer and I just love the application spongy brush thingy.
