Ok, I think part of my problem is that I need more brushes.
Are there any decent ones at target or drugstores?
If yo can still find this set at Target, buy it!!! I want to cuddle the powder brushes all day long. And I like the shadow brushes more than any others I have tried.
hamster - even if you can't find that exact set (but if you can, get it. there is a target beauty coupon posted somewhere a couple of posts above this) - several of the Sonia kashuk brushes are quite nice. I personally like (and have seen rec'd by youtubers) the crease brush and the bent liner brush.
Also cheap and decent are ecotools brushes and slightly more expensive, but quite nice are the real techniques. Brushes are BOGO50 at ulta right now.
I found a downside to my beloved YSL fusion - I think because it's waterproof it really holds onto things. This is my tarte cheek tint, I'd dotted it on and then tried to blend with my fingers and a brush and it didn't blend. I had to use makeup remover and then reapply foundation to that area :/ (Dear lord, I need some wrinkle cream)

Is this the stick kind? I have to swirl my stippling brush around the top of it to get any sort of even color.

Another day, another sample face. Being an ipsy member for nearly 2 years means I have an extensive sample collection. lol.
Eyes: BM 5 in 1, mica beauty shimmer powder in bronze (ipsy) in crease. Super light application of the purple from the ipsy pacifica duo from a couple months ago on the lower lid. UD perversion mascara again (ipsy).
Lips: UD naked, I think this was in the give me some lip set. Or it might have come from ipsy. Or maybe it came from the VIB rouge event.
Face: MUFE HD shade 120 (sephora sample). Last time I wore this foundation I got 115, and I think that was closer to right. Pixi bronzer (ipsy). City Color cheek stain in pink (ipsy).

My outfit is BOLD today, which left me at a loss on what to do with makeup. I like how it all came out though.

Tarte Forest Green eyeliner. Tarte Amazonian mascara. Anastasia Duo Brow Soft Brown dark color.
Hopefully this isn't sexual harassment. But cat calls for pixy0stix today!
her pic is giving me Lauren Bacall vibes. I'm loving it. (btw, I was going to be all generic "old school screen siren", but that name popped into my head so I did a google image search and damned if it wasn't exactly the face and pose I was picturing. I love when my brain knows shit without telling me.)
I was all set to buy this palette, but Sephora didn't have it in store any more:
On a whim, I decided to see if Nordstrom rack had any. They didn't, but they had this, and it was actually cheaper:
I think the first Stila palettes are going to be discontinued...the stores seem to be having a run on them to get rid of them (Ulta had them on Beauty Steals for super cheap). I have picked up and put down that kit from Nordstrom Rack. It is seriously so, so pretty. But, I already have all of those colors covered.
I had a sample blush to use but forgot so the only challenge thing on the face is the Cailyn gloss that came in my ipsy bag.
Vice 3 on my eyes. This shadow definitely applies better wet than dry. It also makes a huge mess with fallout. But the colors!!!! I am definitely keeping it.
I can't speak to that second set specifically, but I haven't had great luck with Stila's "special" collections. The holiday eye shadow sets from last year seriously lacked pigmentation.
The "In the..." sets are excellent. I'd get the first one if you find it.

Seriously, fuck Ulta. Their website will only work for me once in a blue moon. I want those palettes at that price!
I guess it saves me money. </3
I think they only have in the moment left. The rest are all gone. Website is working fine for me...want me to grab it for you? we could probably pretty easily meet up so you aren't subject to my issues shipping things in a timely fashion.
