Urban Decay Glinda pallet

Urban Decay Theodora pallet

NARS sex appeal blush

I also gave in and ordered the Glinda palette despite my low-buy, whoops. I don't really need any new stuff, especially not eyeshadows, but I just love all the swatches I've seen. Can't wait to play with it! 

 (Although I must add that I feel oddly excited and guilty at the same time, heh...)

Oh girl. You will not regret the bb cream. I have it. But be sure you moisturize well. Any blemish I have on my face gets dry and flaky with this. So moisturize and exfoliate. Often. Its verrryyyy good at self adjusting it does have a tendency to be cakey based upon the powder you put on top and its got very good medium coverage that's buildable. I love it so much.

I just got my order from Coastal Scents ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got a sample of eye shadows in my Ipsy February bag and a discount code, then I saw they were having a sale (thanks to MakeUpTalk) and went to check out their Go Palettes. Turns out the Cairo Go Palette has three matte neutral brows as well a bunch of other pretty neutrals. I actually already had a few of the shades in my cart to purchase as singles when I read about the Go Palette discount (it was $4.95). I have a lot of colors in my collection, but never seemed to get any browns/neutrals.

So anyway, I got the Cairo Go Palette, a flat liner brush, and a nice big bottle of Sweet Almond Oil which I have been unable to find around me, that I am going to use from DIY projects. Plus they sent me a little sampler of 4 additional shadows including a navy blue that I am excited to try ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay, glad to hear that!

I always moisturize well and exfoliate, so should be good. I've had it on for a couple of hours so far today and I'm really liking it! I like the coverage level and it looks nice even without a powder (which I don't usually use in the winter, as I find I don't need it.)

Love /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Have you tried any of the other Holika Holika ones? This is my first.

I love their flat liner brush! And I love using Sweet Almond Oil for my hair, it's amazing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have not yet. this is my first ever bb cream...well, I tried the Urban Decay first, but lets be honest, thats not a legitimate bb cream. I can't even call that a primer. -__-

Where did you buy the bb cream from?  I found it Amazon, but I'm not too sure if it's alright to purchase makeup from there.

yeah, i got it off amazon. I buy makeup off there all the time.  I usually don't try to purchase high-end makeup, but asian cosmetics is fine cuz why would they bother making a knock-off of an item they already make? lol

I got it from Amazon...just find a seller with good ratings, you should be alright with something like this. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I did the exact same thing and feel the exact same way.  I ordered it online and can't wait to get it, once I have it and love it I will be guilt free.

I did a quick drugstore haul at Ulta and got: 

• Revlon ColorBurst Lip Gloss in Killer Watt (Amazing color!)
• Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes in Carbon Black
• NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Streudel & Eclair
• NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils in Irish Coffee and Almond

I am currently eyeing the Benefit Fake Up and Sara Happ or LUSH lip scrub!

I'm in love with Lush lip scrubs! My fave is Mint Julips - chocolate & minty! Tastes yummy. & Then I pair it with Lush's Honey Trap lip balm!

Thanks - That is good to know! I am already a huge Lush fan, and Mint Julips is the one I had my eye on. Will be grabbing it this weekend!

 

[amberlamps]

I agree with Mint Julips, it is awesome.

I went to the dollar store yesterday and it was like a treasure trove of 90's stuff revisited. So, as part of my niece's birthday present (she's turning 7), I got her 2 Lisa Frank coloring books, a slinky, 2 LipSmackers, a Pez dispenser (Strawberry Shortcake, only it's the more recent SS), and some blue leggings with rainbow hearts that were from Claire's but sold there. I also got myself a book about a kid with schizophrenia there. They had a bunch of Sally Hansen nail strips, but in ugly prints (pink camoflage and snake print) and a bunch of Wet'n'Wild i-color palettes, but I didn't get any because I already have most of the colors in them from other brands.

I also got her my favorite Goosebumps book (Monster Blood), a couple of earrings from actual Claire's, and a crayola ring.

 

[CheshireCookie]

Yay! My Coastal Scents Go Palettes arrived today along with the new 120 Palette! All the colors are just amazingly gorgeous <3 I think out of all the Go Palettes though, London is my favorite...those purples are so rich and vibrant. I have WAY too much eyeshadow to play around with today now lol

 

[CheshireCookie]

So...not 10 minutes after opening all my Coastal Scent goodies...I receive an email from them saying that their Metal Mania eyeshadow palette is on sale for $9.95....so I buy it....::facepalm::....I so have an eyeshadow addiction problem.
