Thanks! You are both right! I am gonna do it. It is a shame to get this close and not take the plunge.

None of my other liners have had this issue, I am probably going to have to return them to sephora though

I'm so sad because they are so beautiful.
You know, that's an interesting question. My black one I've had no problems with at all, I just throw it in my makeup bag and leave it there, has always worked wonderfully. However, I ordered turquoise along side it because it looked like a beautiful perfect mint green in swatches online. When I got it in the mail I could hardly get any pigment out of it, and now that I think about it, compared to black one it was really dried out, and probably even worse now than it was when I got it.

I thought maybe I just got a bad batch for the turquoise, I didn't complain because my entire order was over 75% off with a glitch code. But I wonder if maybe there is inconsistencies with their batches. Even now, looking up swatches of the turquoise that people have posted on line, it just doesn't compare to how little I was getting out of it.

anyone else with flash orders taking 5 days? I called to complain and was told there was nothing they could do.

Yes, I ordered on the 4th. I just looked at my tracking and it is scheduled to get here on Monday.  I have flash, but I thought maybe it was taking longer because I had ordered nail polish and it has to go ground shipping.  Not sure if that's the reason or if they are taking longer because of the GC promo.

I say go for it - I've enjoyed my the VIB-R, I've attended several special events through Sephora where I got some very cool products and I think that the repeated issues are not as commonplace as some would like everyone to believe.    I order multiple items all the time, I have placed multiple orders on the same day and committed just about every "sin" that people claim gets you banned with no issue.

That makes me feel better! I did get more than one blitz bag and I do a lot of returns, but all with receipts. Hopefully am not doomed, because I'm officially Rouge now.

I use sephora clear universal lip liner.

I'm so gonna pick this up. I have the ...maybelline? Some drug store brand in clear- but sephoras is probably better. Can't go wrong with clear! (Especially if you do crazy lip colors all the time =p )

It's out of stock at the moment online, though. =( It was there the night of the 3rd, but out once I got my email code on the 4th.

I'm $123 away from Rouge. *gasp*

As far as a good eyeliner...I have tried a bunch and I used to love the Stila but I tried the Jordana Fabuliner last year and loved it. Then, they came out with the liquid liner pencil form...I bought it months ago but just tried it the other day and it went on soooo smooth, stayed all day, was super pigmented, and really inexpensive. Just my two cents.

I've never seen twigs in it.  Obviously you know what you saw in your samples, of course... but I never saw anything like that in my sample or my actual little jars.  The tea leaf plants have stems, and when dried out I'd assume they become twiggy, but that part of the plant shouldn't be in the product.

I had to think about my first sample... it came in a mini tube from Sephora, I think as a promo code, or 100 point perk..one of the two, lol.  Did your samples with the twiggy stuff come in a packet or a squeeze tube?  In my real jars it has always been pieces that are like chopped up tiny pieces of seaweed (but it is tea leaf).

There could have been some differences in batches between packaging etc, or a bad sample batch??  That's the only thing I can think of why what you and I have seen such drastic differences in the same product.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
It was a pretty generous sized foil packet.  I could get another use out of it, possibly 3 if I had planned ahead.  Yeah, I'm sure there is inconsistency from one batch, or even one jar or sample to the next just because of the nature of the product (mud concoction with chunky plant matter)

I just went and did a quick google search of "glamglow twigs" and some reviews came back from several websites talking about how glamglow has twigs in it.  So, not a ton of research on my part, but enough that I don't think I'll entertain the possibility that I might have received a bad batch.  

And you never know, your next jar you might find some twigs, or it may be full of twigs. xD  Hehe, and if that happens you should return it, you don't want to be paying for twigs by the oz, lmao. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i also really like the kat von d one it really stays all day

 

[slinka]

For eyeliner- I totally second @mayrax3 - it's my hg- Last I looked online- there a 3 piece set of the Kat von D tattoo liner I think it's called...it's a felt tip... (different tips- all in "trooper" aka BLACK) for $28 if I rmemebr correctly. I had to snatch it up!

And UD perversion liquid liner- amazing stuff.

I also like the pencil types in both of those brands /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And for reference- I've got stubborn allergy-eyes that tend to water, especially at the corners- and these never budge on me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks I will check that out

This is at Ulta, but I thought you fellow makeup addicts would appreciate it: Stila Smudge Stick set for $15 -- five Smudge Sticks for less than the price of one! http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod5900397 I ordered two and got the Stay All Day GWP.

Thank you! I happened to be out running errands when I saw this, so I immediately went to a physical Ulta, and they had the sale going! I almost bought this set a month ago but decided I didn't want it badly enough to spend $35 even though that was a good price. Less than half that price? For an eyeliner pencil addict with a smudge stick fixation on a no-buy who specifically had this on her exceptions list? A no-guilt no-brainer.

i work at sephora, so i can confidently say I've tried every liquid liner we sell lol. i personally prefer the "pen" form, in my opinion the best one BY FAR is the Kat Von D tattoo liner.

the Urban Decay lip liners are the best ones in the store, in my opinion. close second is the MUFE ones
