Whoo!  I got my 40-ounces (one 32-ounce bottle with a pump, one 8-ounce without) of philosophy purity at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale tonight! $50.50, which is a lot to shell out all at once, especially since I'm still using the set from last year, but it would have cost at least $85 if I had bought the same amount in smaller bottles, and I *do* use it every day, plus I use it to clean anything that I use to apply bb cream, so I'm just chalking this up to a necessary annual purchase.

My husband and I rarely go to Wal-Mart, but we were on our way down for our second reception in TN and stopped in one for a few things, so of course I visited the make-up section. I got another of the Flower Beauty lip butters in Wispy Wisteria which goes on as a very wearable, somewhat sheer bright pink with some shimmer that lasts super well given that it is a lip butter. I also got a Hard Candy All Glossed Up Hydrating Lip Stain in the color Chic which is a nice nude that does not make me feel like my lips look too pale. I really love both of those things a lot.

Then I went to the Sephora here in Knoxville, TN (where my parents live) yesterday with a gift card I got for the wedding and picked up the Benefit Gettin' Cheeky set (Posie Tint, ChaCha Tint, and Sun Beam) and Too Faced Tan Without the Twinkle mini Chocolate Soleil bronzer (with a flatbuki brush) that I plan to use as a contour. I like the little brush, but it applies too much color for me to use it to contour, so I think I may have myself a new blush brush.

My Demeter goodies!



Pineapple - Smells just like a fresh pineapple, plain and simple. 

Waffles - Mostly maple syrup with a bit of buttery waffleness. Makes me want breakfast!

Vanilla Ice Cream - Just what it sounds like. Nice sweet creamy vanilla. Reminds me of the Pacifica Island Vanilla!

Pink Grapefruit - Clean simple grapefruit. Really fresh and nice.

Banana Flambee - Reminds me of fresh banana bread! Super yummy!

Mojito was a free gift. It is light and fresh, kind of a powdery scent with lime. Not my usual but I like it. The cologne sprays work nicely as room sprays.

Grapefruit, Pineapple, and Mojito are all great for summer! Waffles and Banana Flambee will likely be worn more often when fall comes around, and I wear vanilla year round. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Nice haul!

Rimmel Lasting Finish lip liner in Red Dynamite

Maybelline lip gloss in Raspberry Reflections (it was my favorite gloss ever and then a piece of gum melted in my purse and ruined everything

)

Redken Wax Blast 10 hairspray

That's actually all the makeup I got in the last couple weeks...I've been too obsessed with buying things from poshmark. I did just order Marc Jacobs Dot perfume on there for $30 today!

Those are pretty colors, must check poshmark!

Nail'd It "Trick or Treat", Femme Fatale "Shadowsong", Dollish Polish "Hip Hop Hippity Hop", A England "Rose Bower", Wonder Beauty Products "Roxie Hart", Serum No5 Love Lacquer "Mint To Be"

I also received the palettes I ordered from BH Cosmetics, the 88 Color Tropical Matte Palette and the 88 Color Cool Shimmer Palette. I'm confused by the Tropical Matte palette since some of the colors appear to be metallics and shimmers.



Tropical Matte and Cool Shimmer

Wow prettiness overload!

I just realized how insanely huge that Clinique moisturizer is.  I think I have the 1.7 oz one, which I thought was big.  The 4.2 oz jar is nearly 2.5x as big as the 1.7oz one.  You got an awesome deal with that!  Well done, Jess!

Oh this thread is so bad!

After getting a sample from Sephora I fell in love with Balenciaga's Florabotanica. Found a great deal on eBay, $30 off retail. Can't wait for it to arrive...



Also picked up Fresh's gel moisturizer--can't decide if the rose scent is too strong. Some days it seems so.



Philosophy rep at Sephora this week sold me on trying these wipes. I never remember to wash my face at night so I love these things. Been using a very refreshing wipe from Burt's Bees, but I'm anxious to try these.



By some miracle I have been able to keep myself away from Nordstrom.

I went to Target today, and got a green eyeliner from Rimmel, and then two pricier products on clearance for half off: 

NP Set lipstick in Hong Kong



Pixi Lid Last Shadow Pen in Peach Pave: 



I like the shadow pen's color and staying power, however it seems like a tiny amount of product since I see no way to sharpen it.....maybe I'm missing something. 

Unfortunately, I think that I'll be returning the lipstick--I like the color but it has a really strong crayon-y smell so I think it may be a bit past its prime.

With those plastic pencils, you just sharpen them with a sharpener, just like you would a wood pencil.

Really? Is a normal sharpener sharp enough to go through plastic?

Yep, I have a cheapo sharpener and it worked just fine on my plastic Mirenesse pencil! I know it seems weird, but a lot of brands are doing it these days!
