Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum gel foundation and I LOVE IT. It's such an amazing foundation and it was less than $20. It ships from the UK (on Amazon) so it took 2+ weeks to get to me but definitely worth the wait. My favorite way to apply it is using a large stipple brush, I have a cheapie from elf and it's perfect. I used it a very dry skin bridesmaid the other week and it looked gorgeous in pictures, no flashback. Really impressed. I might grab a few different shades.
I keep thinking of trying this, what do you like about it?
Really nice coverage, a little glow, but not too much, blends very well. Feels light weight on my skin. I apply it at 7 am and it still looks good at 9 pm.

Since you ladies helped me, I bought the LA eye art artist palette yesterday and am wearing it today. LOVE! This is going to be used often and well loved.

Ipsy really delivered for me this month. 1. Hikari gloss in Merlot is my favorite lip color right now. While I don't usually gravitate toward glosses, the color is irresistible. 2. Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eyeliner Pen. It gives me a perfect, perfect line that lasts all day long and actually stays black. Fave.
I'm really liking -- maybe not loving -- my Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for Eyes. I'm having much much less transfer of mascara to my undereye by the end of the day than I did with IT Bye Bye Undereye. It covers really nicely, but it doesn't last quite as long as I'd like.
I got the bare minerals lipstick in break away based on seeing it on someone in the face of the day posts on here. Love it! Been topping it with mac nymphette gloss and love that combo. Also i finally found wnw ryc powder and have been liking it as a finishing powder!
I didn't buy much this month. I really like the UD Perversion mascara but I think I like LCL better.
I also bought two new lipsticks: Milani Matte in Flirty (shown below in a bad quality pic) and Clinique in Black Honey out of nostalgia. I've been looking for the Milani liquid mattes but can't find them anywhere.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro- Matte foundation. I haven't used a drugstore foundation in ages but decided to try this out when desperately looking for something to stay put on really humid days. I've been pleasantly surprised by this.
YSL Volupte Teint-in-Oil. Got as a sample with a Sephora order and like it much more than I expected. The gloss doesn't last long on me, but the stain is very pretty and lasts a few hours.
UD Super Saturated lip color. Got them when they were 50% off because why the hell not. And I actually really like them. They feel nice on, provide a good wash of color, and stay pretty glossy. I got the colors Love Child and F-Bomb (which is super out of my comfort zone but I actually like this red on me, will be great for fall).

Let's see. I looooved the UD lipstick samples I got this month, and several of them are definitely going on my list: Bang (that orangey-red) and I think maybe the matte Stark Nude as well.
I really like the highlighter in Naked Flushed Native. And Bite Bellini. And Lorac CEO lipstick. Also UD Asphyxia -- both the eyeliner pencil and the eye shadow are really pretty.
Um, I bought more stuff this month than I realized, lol. Granted, half of those were samples or point gifts, but still.

Thank you for the reminder! Yes, I also got UD Asphyxia eye liner...I think it was this month? Maybe tail end of last? I can't remember...there have been a lot of orders lately. Anyway, it is a very pretty shade, and I particularly love layering it with a pale shimmery purple shadow. I have the Asphyxia shadow on my wish list.
RYC of course. Also the MUFE nudes palette is simply divine and I'm loving the hell out of UD blush in Rapture.
In terms of older stuff, I have reunited with TheBalm's Cabana Boy after months of neglect, and am reminded once again of how it is one of the greatest blush shades ever.
Favorite lip products this month include Bite Bellini and the Nars supervixen gloss. Like PP, I also just discovered the UD saturated glosses, and want to marry Naked.
Reserve Your Cabana got some serious love from me this month as a new purchase, but I also fell back in love the the MUFE neutrals palette and Bobbi Brown's Caviar Ink gel eyeliner.

I hadn't heard of these, so I went to the UD site to check them out. They are on sale for $10, so I just bought Naked, Love Child and Crush. You people are such enablers.
ETA: I just noticed your post in the randoms that they are also $10 at Sephora...where I have free shipping. (wilted)

Caviar is sooo awesome. I can never find a eyeliner that perfect black/brown in pencil form (it always seems to take me a lot longer to use the pot, and I'm always running late in the morning. . .).

Have you tried Clinique's quickliners? I remember a black/brown from them that was close to the Caviar Ink color, and it's a twist-up pencil.
Champagne Pop- I resisted this hard core and then caved one night. I love it!! Semi sweet chocolate palette- colors are perfect for my warm tone. I've loved playing around with it this month!!

Ooo, I haven't. I overlook clinique all the time honestly.... Thanks!

The quickliner is good. So is the IT gel liner (it's in a twist up and has the best staying power). It's a good black brown
Thank you! I keep meaning to look into that brand.
I joined the RYC bandwagon and have been wearing it almost every day. I think it might have been a July purchase but I've been wearing the hell out NYX Chic Red lately and loving it.
It's old as dirt but I've been using the Matte Pebble shade in my ancient Tarte NaturalEyes palette all the time in my crease and loving it. It's a perfect contour shade and looks great with colored liners.
I've gotten bored by my Yes to Cucumbers and CeraVe cleansers so I decided to splurge a bit and bought the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick. I've been missing a good lather when I wash my face but love the smell and that my face doesn't feel tight and dry afterwards.

Yes! They are $10 everywhere, I think. I love Naked so much that I'm actually thinking of buying a back up. It's an amazing, glossy MLBB color that wears so well.
I also got Punch Drunk and Big Bang, the first is dupe-able and nothing special, but the second is glittery and so much fun. I need a girls night out to wear it to.
