Has anyone tried any new awesome cosmetics?

Any recent discoveries?  I just bought two of the Too Faced Melted lipsticks and they are AWESOME.  I got melted berry and melted fig, and then a free deluxe sample of melted peony.  These are everything I hoped the Obsessive Compulsive lip tars would be.  These are super pigmented, easy to apply, very long lasting, and have a bit of a glossy look.

Morphe eye shadows.  They are $2 each but the quality rivals my MAC shadows.  Or, to put it another way, MAC is not worth paying five times as much if I can get the same color from Morphe.

Wet n Wild Megalast nail polish. $2, very good quality, and so far holding up nicely. I just wish there was a larger color selection.

I'm usually a snob about my makeup brands, but I'm experimenting with some lower cost alternatives, based upon recommendations from people I trust, and (so far) have been pleasantly surprised.

Whoa, no way!!  That is an awesome discovery.  I'll have to try these.

I've tried the WnW Megalast nail polish and it chipped easily, but maybe it was the particular color.  I love some of the WnW eyeshadows.

A lot of the shadows are out of stock at the moment because a popular MUA raved about them on YouTube (that is how I learned about them).  Also, shipping is pricey, although I believe they are running a flat rate of $8 right now.  However, if you stock up (I bought 10 pans), the price per pan is still much lower than MAC.

I got the Too Faced Melted Peony as a free sample today at Ulta and I LOVE it. I wear it under my nude gloss and it gives a really nice tint.

I also got Smashbox light primer and Too Faced pressed powder, both of which I'm happy with. Now I need some new brushes.

I bought a few things at Sephora over the weekend: 3 UD single eyeshadows, a 24/7 liner in Stash (a dark shimmery green, really pretty), Tarte BB cream, and Tarte Creaseless Concealer.

A few other things I loved, and may purchase on my next order: Bite lip crayon in Amaretto, UD Native palette, and Ole Henrikson Nurture Me makeup remover cloths.
