I like the picture of the month! The lipstick colors are gorgeous!!
A few weeks ago, I did a major reorganization of my makeup collection, and it has been life changing. When I went to do the favorites for the month, I realized that unlike previous months, I haven't been grabbing the same things over and over. The reorg has made it so I can actually see my makeup and use more of it, instead of reaching for whatever blush or lipstick is on the top of the heap.
It is also helping me see what I actually have and don't have, so I can make better purchasing decisions in the future.

I can't wait to do mine this weekend. There's a bunch of stuff I "can't find" but I'm sure will be easily found once I clean up the mess. I also have some fun storage that I can't wait to put everything into its own home.
secretlyevil and ESF, share with the class what you did. I need to totally fix my makeup area. I have all these muji boxes and bins but it's all fallen to embarrassing disarry
I am going to bring out my fall colors this weekend! I have found I like my collection better when I keep a few items in my drawer and the rest tucked away. Too many options for my daily wear is too much.

Does anyone know if/when Sephora will release another "Sephora Favorites" lip set this holiday season? I asked my mom for the "give me more lip" last year (when she specifically asked for Christmas ideas/links) and she didn't get it, so I missed out, and I'm still bummed.

i ordered the bareminerals surprise box that was posted last week and it arrived today. i'm pretty happy with it - a ton of stuff for 32 bucks!
a really nice size makeup bag, it's a good shape to hold several palettes but still travel really well, i hope to use it this weekend. a blush brush, two eyeshadow brushes, a pencil sharpener (will probably leave it in my travel bag, or take it to leave with my stash at work). three loose eyeshadows - bahamas, pebble, and steel three eyeliners - midnight and two chocolates (one was from a promo code for a full size surprise product, but it will go in my work stash, great to have a spare) a mineral veil powder four lip products - one lip-oil balm deluxe sample in pink passion, marvelous moxie lip gloss in rule breaker, two marvelous moxie buttercream lip glosses in flirty mauve and forbidden nude
all in all not bad and packaged very well. it was a fun experiment and gives me some new stuff to play with! the eye colors seem pretty neutral, as do the lip colors - i was a bit worried about getting colors that didn't suit me or that just weren't my style.

I tried this out today. I was watching Zabrena testing it out, went to the Amazon link and accidentally did the one click purchase anyway. I had some issues but maybe with some practice? I dunno. The little brush and gel liner are really good from my first impression. I couldn't get a decent FOTD pic today to show my first attempt. Weather is just wretched.

I saw this in the store and was very curious.. but I kind of have hooded lids and I wonder if this would work?

It looked pretty simple and I think you could use it. I tend to struggle with "fancy" techniques so who knows. Here's the link to the video I watched. youtu.be/gVh6R5M8jQY

secretlyevil, Thank you! I googled her name and found I am already subscribed LOL Watched and I think I may try this weekend!!! Will post updates if it works!!
Anyone seen deets for the Marc Jacobs holiday lip set yet?
No but I do know there's a 4 Bite mini set coming! Colors are Honeycomb, Nori, Fig, and something else....a wearable pink shade I think.
Honeycomb and Nori are both on my want list so I'm eagerly anticipating this.
And somebody will tag me the second it releases, yes? please? Though really, how many figs does one girl need? I have it in half a mini and a full size bullet of the old formula....

LOL Will do! You can give the Fig as a gift! I remembered the other color, which is Pepper. I have both Pepper and Fig in mini form. But I'd rather pay $25 for a half a tube of Honeycomb and a half a tube of Nori, and get 2 backups, then pay $26 for a full tube of both, especially considering I probably won't wear Nori all that much.
And my Pepper broke and got kind of gross and can only be applied now with a lip brush, so I'll be happy to have a new one. I'm going to give the Fig to my mom.
I'm getting so excited to move so I can have my own bathroom to organize my makeup in!! Anyone have any organizers they recommend? Currently I have everything in a tall Ikea Alex tower.

I have a sample size of the UD Revolution lipgloss in Liar. I tried it again today to see if I wanted to get the full size tomorrow at Ulta. The description sounds perfect, but the color looks wrong on my skin tone. Same with the lipstick. I'm kind of bummed since it seems to be a favorite on here.
On a positive note, I tried the Vice lipstick in Naked yesterday and it's perfect! I might have to get a full size with my points!

So now that I'm working for the first time in EIGHT years, I'm wearing makeup regularly again. I've had a long drought where I haven't purchased or worn much and I've forgotten how much I missed it.

H decided to finish the front bedroom yesterday afternoon aka my makeup room. He is redoing the floor. So now the rest of the house is a mess with all that room's contents. My makeup is all over living creation AND it won't be completed today. Ugh, I hate living in renovation mess.
