Very badly.  It is freaking amazing.  A few matte neutrals, and some fun colors. My guess is that it will be gone by Thanksgiving, if it even lasts that long.  

I really really REALLY want it. I'm trying to figure out how to justify another palette though lol.

Girl you are telling me lol

I really like korres mascara, fairy drops scandal queen, and benefits they're real. I have done the sephora lash stash set for the last few years, and these are my stand out favorites.

I really like the elf eyebrow gel. Can't beat it for 3 bucks, seriously.

I keep meaning to try more korres products, I like everything I try.

I have been using VitaZing from Origins. It's a tinted moisturizer. I love it, but hate the price! Recommend a good, cheaper ($20 or less) tinted moisturizer!?!

Are you open to a bb cream?  I am bad at this, because I am not frugal.  I have a bb cream and a tinted moisturizer I like a lot, but they are more than 20.  The tinted moisturizer is UD, and the bb cream is tarte.  

We need a budget beauty girl to weigh in on this. lol

I use Dr. Jart BB Cream from Sephora, which does a good job at covering up my ruddy cheeks and uneven skin tone.  It's  lightweight and doesn't make my face feel greasy, even though I have oily skin.  I can't get into Sephora's website to see how much it costs though.

I need a concealer for very dark under eye circles that also doesn't make the skin around my eyes look old. I feel like the ones ive tried are really heavy, then i put on foundation and it feels like im wearing spackle and it looks all wrinkly. Any recs?

Also, autocorrect has apparently given up on capitalizing my "I"s and I'm too lazy to fix it.

I think we're close in age, right? (God, please don't let me be wrong about this!!!)

I swear by LORAC's Double Feature concealer and highlighter.  The concealer is smooth and doesn't sink into fine lines (make sure you use primer, though) and the highlighter really brightens up the eye area without a ton of sparkle.

To keep brows in place, thanks!

I love the anastaisia line



paired with the brow wiz pencil

I also enjoy benefits brow zing kit which has wax and powder

I bought the Anastasia wax stick recently and am very pleased with it!

I like Bobbi Brown loose powder but I loathe the packaging (plastic jar with perforated covering over the powder).  I either get none on my face brush or I get it all the hell over my dresser.    

Any recs for great powder in a better container?  I'm running out of the bb and could try something new soon.

Thanks

I love Mac pinch of peach. I'm a make up addict and it's the only blush I use besides Nars.

[juliahenry]

Ooh, I need help!

Can you rec a brand of cheap pressed powder? I need to leave one in my office, one in my car, and one in my bag. In the past, I've gone somewhere (Sephora etc) and had someone help me match my skin tone. Now, I just need cheap backup makeup and I don't want to spend $$$ x3, so I want a drugstore one.

What brand can I buy and how do I match myself in the drugstore aisle?

Please and thank you

[snorky]

Is foundation outdated? I've been using bb cream/ tinted moisturizers for about three years now, but a recent bout with acne has left me with some scars, so I feel like I need a little more coverage and was considering doing foundation, but I kind of feel like it's too heavy with all the other options out there.

I am pale with pink undertones, and the best blush of all time are the tarte amazonian clay blushes.  Hands down best ever.  The staying power is fabulous, the colors are great, and it is a all around excellent.  

I would rec the following colors, although I love them all.  Blissful, dollface exposed and amused.  Dollface is more subtle, amused is brighter, exposed is a nude that at first glance may look boring, but it is a must have, and blissful is my all time fav coraly peachy pink.  They are all wonderful.  

[sineadorebellion]

What about if I have very little in the way of eyelashes? They're dark, just not very many and short. Should I look at falsies? That just seems like a lot of work.

For under eye concealer i use maybelline age rewind brightener.  I am not going to lie, I don't use very many drugstore products, BUT I use that concealer daily.  

I have heard great things about revlon photo ready concealer for blemishes, but I have never tried it.  

The maybelline age rewind is fabulous, and I use it in conjunction with high end.  There is nothing that I have found that can replace this for me.  It is a staple.

I wish Tarte Amazonian blush came in colors suited for darker skin tones.

I wish that about a lot of make up lines.

Have you tried any of the stains?  They really are fabulous blushes, but I can see how they need more variation.  It does seem that they are catered to us ghostly gals.  lol

What is BB cream? What does it do? SHould I be using it?

These beauty balms are special creams that create light coverage than foundation and supposedly provide other things like concealing properties, primer, and a moisturizer.  They can be great, BUT i personally think they are a bit overrated.  Perhaps it is my redness, but i honestly prefer wearing a light foundation.  I do use them, especially for a quick look in the summer, because it is easy and fast, but imo it is definitely not a need.

I haven't tried the stains. Right now, my most suitable powder blush is from Wet 'n Wild, lol.

I mix and match a couple of drug store brands with the stuff I get from Sephora.  

I did get a sample of Benefit's "Yes, They're Real" mascara for my birthday this month and I really like it and the highlighter that came with it. I can't remember the name of it and I *could* get out of bed and look at the name but that would require effort and I'm too lazy to do that.

Well I was going to say yes, Make up forever HD finishing powder, but the jar is very similar.  lol  To me i have no problem with the mess, like i did with stupid bare minerals.  I love the finish, and i would definitely recommend giving it a try, but because of the packaging, might not solve your problem lol

I have NARS light reflecting setting powder and I bought it in the pressed form just so I could take it with me and not make a mess. I love it.
