3 day shipping for Sephora apparently = 6 days. My blush palette will be here Friday.
Tell me about it. I placed an order Friday morning and it will be here by EOD Wednesday. I'm leaving for the weekend EARLY Thursday morning, so it had better come!
I'm sitting on this $100 Ulta GC because I'm paralyzed by indecision!
I've decided on the LORAC pro palette and the Ulta mineral foundation (I've used it for years and I'm out). I have a few hard to cover acne scars, so what would be a good concealer? I think I also need an eyebrow something. I picked up a Cover Girl pencil, but it don't like it. Recs?
Does ulta have Cargo? I remember DirtySouth saying she liked the Cargo HD concealer almost as much as the Nars one.
I use a stiff eyebrow brush and just some eyeshadow for my eyebrows.
SallyJ: I loved that Hikari Cabernet but I found the wear time to be poor and it wore off from the middle out leaving a lip liner effect around my lips. Have you found this to be the case?
I need 87 layers of that stuff to get a decent color pay off and then I feel like I was making out with a vat of matte vaseline.
I would still love a monthly ipsy only challenge of that month's bag because there are so many of us here and I would like to see what people do with their similar bags.
Half my bag has been hair or other products. So for this month for instance, you would be looking at my red wine lips, burgundy nail polish, and some garden variety face powder. That nail polish chipped like a mother fucker. It's date night stuff and that is all.
August would have consisted of blush, eyeliner, and mascara.

pixy0stix your hair color looks amazing. I didn't even recognize you at first. Also, do I need Vice 3?? I thought I did until reading Temptalia's review. I'm working backwards in this post, so ignore me if this has been discussed.
I looked at the email again and it is for the Naked Skin BB cream. So, no good, huh?
I would try Physcians Formula CC cream instead.
I feel like people hate getting drugstore recommendations and feel better about buying high end products with pretty packaging, but this stuff is seriously fabulous. I was spending $43 on Laura Mercier TM before I discovered it and like it every bit as much.

Vice3 has a lot of unique colors. The palette has a few duds, but that's a given for UD. I really like it.
Does anyone use a Clairsonic and Retin-A? Because like someone said upthread, I'm afraid it would take my whole face off.
Yes. I use .1% Tretinoin and the Clarisonic twice a day with the gentle brush head. I still have my face, but also don't think the Clarisonic does a better job than a gentle buf puf. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin after using for about two years, but I also had a really great skincare routine before adding the Clarisonic.

Mine arrived on Saturday. I've used it twice. My first impression was "hmmmm.....maybe, maybe not." It seemed to me like Alien really is as shitty as Temptalia says it is, and it made working in other colors difficult.
Today's attempt, however, I was ecstatic with. Freeze applies beautifully when wet and Heroine went on very nicely. I worked in one of the browns and the highlight shade. It all blended together nicely, and I was really happy. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a good selfie this morning since it was cloudy, but maybe I will try again later. Until then, you will just have to all believe me when I say that my eyeshadow looks fantastic today.
So, I need a few more sessions with it to make a final opinion. If I can make the other colors work like I did today, then I will be thrilled. I'm going to play around with different brushes, and applying things wet. I have not ruled out returning it, but I really want to love it because the colors are gorgeous.

Sample face!
Face: I went and got some of the YSL fusion ink sample to try since Ijack liked it so much. I like it so far! Also on my face is: pixi bronzer (ipsy), city color be matte blush (ipsy), and tarte smooth operator powder (sample a friend gave me).
Eyes: pop beauty trio (ipsy). UD perversion (ipsy). Also Anastasia dip brow, which is the only non-sample thing on my face.
Lips: lollitint (ipsy), orgasm gloss (give me some lip sample set).
Thanks!!! I applied Truth up to the brow bone, Freeze wet to the entire lid, blended Heroine along the upper lash line, Reign in the outer corner and crease. UD Hustle glide on liner on the bottom lash line, and I think I smudged something over it - Reign maybe? then put Freeze in the inner lower corner.

I never thought I'd love blue eyeshadow so much!!
It looks fantastic!!
Not helping my "no more shadow until I read reviews of the mega pro" resolution.

My holiday wishlist is excessive:
Hourglass blush palette Tarte 4pc blush set Tarte blush palette (sensing a theme?) Too Faced Melted Kisses Too Faced Under the Mistletoe Bite's cute little set of high pigment pencils Sephora's Give Me Some Lip and Give Me More Lip sets and Lorac Megapro, of course.
And that doesn't even include regular stuff I want. Ugh. I need to pare it down.

I really like how natural looking your makeup is today. Makeup hero worship

I have a meeting/interview tomorrow for a position that a friend recommended me for. I'm planning on wearing a black dress with a green blazer but am stuck on what makeup to wear. I usually go fairly basic with my face and add in some bright pink or red lips. Would that be too much for an interview and with the green blazer? It's spring here too btw.

My list is just as long, and there is more holiday stuff to be announced. I'm trying not to buy any more makeup until the Sephora 20% off coupon in November. But, I just placed an order at Ulta today, so my plan is not going that great.
The box that Vice came in was on the table. H picked it up and started laughing at the names. At first, he didn't believe me that (1) the Vice names are pretty normal, boring even, for makeup names and (2) DTF meant "down to fuck"
Then I told him about Deep Throat and Sugar Walls. He is now disturbed.
Warm colors don't typically look that great on me but I really wanted to so some autumn colors today anyway:) Eyes the mufe palette with perversion mascara Cheeks: rockateur Lips: UD naked Skin: laura mercier sample foundation, hg finishing powders, milk chocolate bronzer
I forgot to order tarte Natural Beauty blush with my Sephora haul so I went and bought it in store yesterday, and then I was like 2 doors down from MAC so I went ahead and bought Fever too. LOVE. I'll try to post a picture later but it's so perfect for fall.
Bare Minerals 5 in 1 in a pinky nude color on lids (sample) with Burberry Midnight Brown in the crease and UD Mildew liner (sample) and MAC mascara (sample) on eyes. Rockateur blush, YSL Glossy Stain in 106 (sample) on lips, Benefit Watt's Up highlighter (sample), and Armani Maestro foundation.
OMG you guys, I went to Macy's yesterday for the first time in forever and their makeup section has been redone. It now has UD, Tarte, Lorac, TF, etc. Oh and a Benefit Brow Bar! I was way too excited when I saw all the pretty things.
I have to go back today to get a ring fixed and I think I'm going to stop and play.
