@ - Tarte. The tarte website describes the colors better than the Sephora site. Only a few have shimmer I believe.

We're going with Fearless!  Wish us luck!  LOL

Ugh, Lime Crime as a company is a huge disaster, and their products are worse than a drugstore equivalent. I doubt it will happen but I hope Sephora drops them like a hot potato when they get all the negative backlash. <_<

Quick question, if I buy a lipstick with the 20% off, would I be able to even exchange it for a different color or will they charge me the difference?

Ladies - I need opinions.  I have a ton of palettes.  All of the TooFaced palettes, all the naked, stila, and most of the tarte.  I have last years Kat Von D also. 

I have been looking at the Hello Kitty and Kat Von D Star Studded for the past few days.  Should I purchase or am I good enough.  I tend to stay on the neutral side so maybe they are too colorful for me.  Any suggestions? or perhaps just tell me the eyeshadow formulas stink, then my mind will be at ease for missing them.

What did folks say about the Hello Kitty palette?  I think I missed it!  I'm struggling keeping up with this thread. I did, however, roger loud and clear that the KVD palette is not popular.

I did an exchange with my UD Flushed palette.  I got it at 20% off, but I received the wrong one and didn't notice at first.  Anyway, I took it back and did an even exchange and they said that even though the receipt won't match up they just zero out the difference because a straight exchange won't cost you more than what you originally paid for - discount or not.  I got the same thing in Strip (returned Streak).

  I do not want my money supporting people like Doe. 

I missed it!  Who's Doe? Thanks!

But if Sephora gets their ***** kicked over Lime Crime's false claims (as now advertised on their website) I would be the first here to popcorn.gif

Ummm....what does popcorn.gif mean?

 

[Shalott]

@ Doe Deere is the founder of Lime Crime and a terrible human being. popcorn.gif is an indication of a popcorn eating gif that basically indicates you're ready to watch $h!t go down. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edit: I confused myself soo how is that supposed to not confuse others, LOL. HALP.

I think the Hello Kitty palette is also a bit of a bust. For a while there I kept having selective amnesia and almost convinced myself multiple times that I must buy it, and then I would look up swatches online. The swatches don't seem that great given the price and the shadows are in a pull-out drawer, which can be inconvenient and a pain. I'm still kicking myself for missing the Wild Things palette from last year.

Oooh, yeah. The popcorn eating from Thriller is popular.

If it makes you feel better the Hello Kitty Wild things palette was not any better.  The shimmer shades are ok but the mattes are so chalky.  I do not even ever use mine. I depotted them into a z palette and just never think to use them.

I didn't do it. I know It's not a good company but she could use a pick me up and she mentioned it just last week. I could not come up with $50 worth is stuff for free shipping and then what color and she'd probably rarely wear them.

she was working as a nanny for way too cheap and the lady payed late and then finally last month did not pay her. Well she has a friend pick up some of her stuff since she only has a scooter. Goes to work slowly taking stuff with her because she knew she would not get it back if she stopped working. Finally the lady won't give her the rest or her money so she has to take her to court because the police can't help because it's her house.

I want her to have fun things but I should just save it and give her cash for things of her choosing that she needs replaced.

The rational part of my mind says that yes, it does make me feel better. The completely irrational side is still silently judging for passing up on the cuteness. My wallet likes my rational side.

I feel like she may have mentioned that she makes a conscious effort to not even press her lips together - I don't want to know how long a lipstick lasts if I don't eat/drink/press my lips together, I want to know if it'll miraculously last through a greasy southern meal lol! Or, y'know, if it tends to fade strangely (cough sephora rouge infusion cough) or feather so I don't accidentally go to a fancy event and turn into the joker without realising it!

Her lighting is definitely fancy/pro and not very real-life appropriate, but I find that I get a good enough impression of how lip products will look on me to keep me going back to check her pictures. I do have to mentally darken her lip swatches by a few shades though, since her lips are paler than mine - that's probably why I don't really mind that her swatches aren't 100% accurate lol!

I legit just did and posted a review on the Too Faced Melted Marshmallow lipstick and I referred to hers to see what it looked like in her pictures and I swear it looks like we're using two completely different shades when it comes to the packaging as well as the hand and lip swatches! I'm a lot paler than her and none of the things she posts are ever representative of how they'll look on me unless she's doing eyeshadow and using a light base :S so I usually have to wait for Musings Of A Muse to post it or Phyrra lol

Seconded (or thirded). Everything always looks really light and vibrant. Brighter and paler than it is. I mean, I know Mac Rebel looks different on different people, but I would never recognize it from her photos: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-rebel-lipstick-review-photos-swatches

RIGHT?! Yea I've seen her pics and thought I would love a color and then gone into MAC and been like "Wait a minute that looks NOTHING like what I wanted...." lol... >.<

For those of you who don't know the sad, sordid history of Lime Crime, I beg you to read this. It's the way she reacted once she was outed that is the most offensive.

There's a lot more, just Google.

 

[juli8587]

has anyone seen any tutorials with the ud point perk

 

[ohsailor]

She also repackages her lipsticks (or did, as recently as two years ago I believe). More entertainment here: http://ohdeardoedeere.tumblr.com/post/65612552332/doe-deere-lime-crime-a-sordid-history

Going to Lime Crime's actual products (maybe I said this already) I am embarrassed to admit, I would purchase them regardless of the company history if they were actually good products. But they aren't. The lipsticks aren't worth your money and although I actually do like the Velvetines, I think the Rimmel Apocalips are waay better. (Show Off Lip Laquers, here, in the US).

THAT said, it is everyone's choice how to spend their money so if you like the brand and the products then that is just fine. I own and actually do wear my Lime Crime products, I just won't buy any more. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh my ....I just re-re-rouged (head hung in shame :blink: )

I was wondering, when you re-rouge do they give you another set with the lipstick? It'd only be fair. You should go and get your other two bite lipsticks. I love that damn color.

I'm not a fan of Temptalia's swatches.  I still look at them, but they are never ever accurate, in my opinion.  And I don't even bother to read her reviews any more.  

What is the point of a lipstick lasting 6-10 hours and never reapplying?  1- You will never ever use up a tube of lip product before it turns bad if you never reapply and only use it once a day, unless that is the only tube you use.. 2- isn't that part of the fun of makeup and being girly with makeup?  Is it really such a dang chore to reapply once or twice (depending on formula)?  Maybe I'm just weird, lol.  

Ugh, speaking of Musing of a muse blog.. I like her arm swatches, but if she doesn't lift up her dang head in photos for lip swatches, I swear one day I'm going to figure out how to reach through the screen and do it for her! She's got little thin lips, and she "poses" her head so low to get a better/flattering chin angle, and then you can't hardly see the lip color!  She did one post last year or early this year, I forget exactly, where she had her head all the way up and her hair down and curly, and she looked so beautiful in it, and the swatches looked fantastic... why she can't do that on a normal basis is beyond my realm of blog loving understanding.  Sorry, this just drives me complete bananas.  I also take her reviews with a grain of salt.  She either has no idea how to apply half the stuff she reviews, or she has severely weird skin or something.  Everything people rave about, she finds faults with it--can't see what others do, doesn't get the effect others do, etc etc.. I don't know, I just find her very harsh or silly in a lot of reviews, for various reasons--kind of like others with Temptalia's reviews.  

I also like this blog-- mostly sunny blog.  I really like her blog.  She's got great arm and face swatches, fair reviews, and I've never seen something she swatched that looks way different in real life.  I like her attitude too.  She isn't all "uppity" or snobby like she is the be all/know all like others already mentioned.  Plus, for myself, she's the most accurate for skin tone, so if it looks good on her, it will most likely look good on me, and I've never been let down yet.  

Also I like Karen over at makeupandbeautyblog.  Her swatches I've found to be pretty accurate and reviews pretty fair.  She posts a lot about cats/her cat though, so if you don't like skipping over cat stuff or cats you may not like her blog.  She's pretty funny though, I like her silliness.

In other news, I have been waiting on my ebates check to show up.  They told me by email on Oct 31st they're mailing my check early and it is on the way.. but it never showed, then my account said they cut the check on the 6th of Nov..  I received it yesterday.  Normally my check arrives by the date shown online, which has been between the 11th-15th of each pay month... My account said my check would originally arrive on Nov 11th.

How is getting my check to me on the 10th considered a big enough deal/early enough to warrant an entire email saying it is coming early??  LOL  I was just like.. why bother mentioning it is coming early!?  Whatever..at least it is here. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  And now I got another 142$ to blow on whatever.  

I want to buy more from Sephora, but they are taking SO long to process orders right now.  I've got an order from Friday morning still not shipped, and one from Saturday afternoon not shipped.. I placed one yesterday that isn't shipped, obviously, and that was the only order placed when they put up the delayed processing warning.  

Dang, I sound really ranty in this post, lol.  I guess a full tummy of rice puts me in a weird place haha.  

Does anybody know for sure if orders are still going through with the discount code tonight?  Or if the orders will be honored/not cancelled/get you banned?  I haven't braved Facebook enough to look there yet.

When you re-rouge you're supposed to get a red formula x nail polish exclusive to rouge members, for this year.

This year you get a polish and I bet I don't =( I did get my polish when I hit rouge, but I don't think you get anything for hitting it twice, but that would be nice!

Anyone have their 20% off purchases made today canceled? I placed 3 orders all in the $30-$75 range and the all have been canceled...weird.
