Most recent purchases?

If it comes in on time, I'll try to get some pictures to post. I think that all the shades I picked already have swatches online, but I'm planning on giving it a try myself. (It should make pretty good practice, since I can look up and compare my pics with the swatches that others have done) =)

Just placed a fairly large order of NYX and some WnW stuff from Beautyjoint. This is my first time using them; hopefully people have good experiences? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I *went there* because I was looking for WnW Mega Glo, apparently it's an older item and I only just realized that after looking everywhere for it, lol. I saw some swatches of them the other day and decided I needed them in my life... I got Spotlight Peach and Strike a pose rose. I COULD of gotten them cheaper on ebay, but I'm so hesitant to buy off there & had a horrible experience last time so.. I was happy to see it at Beautyjoint.

And then I rationalized spending $50 to get $5 and using a 5% off coupon, and got a ton of Nyx lippie stuff (I was planning to do this haul anyway...so why not), and one of their nail polishes in Chick Lit. I got 3 round lipsticks, 2 diamond sparkle lipsticks, 2 round lip glosses, 1 mega shine gloss, 1 butter gloss, 1 aqua luxe gloss, and I think that's it. Phew. 

Right before this I purchased several Thebalm items from the sale: sexy mama, bahama mama, mary-lou, concealer, cabana boy blush & 1 new Instain blush in argyle.. 

So. Totally just declared a no-buy after that.

Wow, the delivery came through early! I am pretty lousy at taking photos, and I couldn't get the top row to show up very well. I'll ask my husband to see if he can get a better photo for me tonight.

Colors are: 373 Matte 344 Matte 378 Matte 464 DS 368 Matte 361 Matte 609 Matte 467 DS 312 Matte 55 AMC 37 Lipstick 75 Lipstick 09 Lipstick Excited to try my hand at doing some swatches and trying a new look this evening! I couldn't resist trying out the lipstick (I've only used the Inglot shadows before) I used 09, which is the bright red- it really stayed true to color when I put it one, very bright (brighter then I had expected!) without having to really layer a lot on. So far, so good! I'm already wanting to plan out the next palette. They've got some gorgeous purples I want to collect, and I think it would be nice to grab some of the coppers, too. =D

My sample of Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire finally ran out, so I ordered the gift set that came with 1.6oz bottle and a 0.16oz bottle (which I plan on keeping in my bag, along with my Clinique Happy mini).  I fell in love with this perfume as soon as I smelled the sample I received in August, but the $58-80 price tag kinda scared me off.  I also got the Fresh Sugar birthday duo, which I can't get enough of.  Oh, how I love Sephora.  Now I just need to get the full-sized version of the Lavanilla fragrance that was a 100 point perk a few weeks ago.

I loooooove that perfume! I think I entered for a sample from Geurlain and was supposed to receive a sample of the mascara but they sent me the perfume sample instead & I am sure glad they did! I love it! The price tag is scary but my bf got it for me for Christmas & I'm only using it sparingly.

I love how sweet it smells.  La Petite Robe Noire is the perfume that introduced me to patchouli.  I don't know what it smells like when it's not in perfume, but I seem to really like perfumes that contain patchouli (my 2 favorites being Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire and Lavanila's Pure Vanilla).  Fortunately, the Lavanilla sample is a good size and has a spray nozzle that works much better than typical perfume sample vials.  I wish all perfumes came in rollerballs.  I know the Lavanila one does, but I was really hoping they would come out with a La Petite Robe Noire rollerball.  I'd prefer a bunch of rollerballs to a bunch of bottles.  

Have you tried the other La Petite Robe Noire products?  They also have a shower gel and lotion.

Ooo a rollerball of that would be great! I haven't tried any of the other products. Currently I have waaaay too much showerl gel and lotion lol.

Have you tried Lush's Karma?! It has patchouli, lemongrass, and sweet orange! & there is a whole line of Karma. Soap, solid perfume (which I have & I love it!), regular perfume, bubble bar, bath melt, lotion, and shampoo. Smells soo good.

I have a refillable atomizer (the Sephora one), but I'd love a refillable rollerball.  Of course, a rollerball would probably be more difficult to refill.  The refillable atomizer is super easy to refill - absolutely no leaks or spills!

No, but I've been meaning to try Lush products for a while.  One of my friends loves their shampoos.  I'd be much more inclined to purchase if I could find a local store that carries Lush products so I could smell them and possibly try them.

Ooo I'll have to get one of those! 

I love Lush. Great products! But yes its definitely better to get in store & smell them yourself. They are very distinct scents that some may find gross or overwhelming. But I love them! Lush is really great about samples too, if you ever find yourself in a Lush store! They are super helpful!

I haven't, but I have been eyeing them for MONTHS...I'm thinking that I may jump over to them once I have all of the CS Palettes...because, you know, I OBVIOUSLY don't have enough eyeshadow palettes...
