S/O ESF hitting pan on the becca blush, I gave my friend her Christmas gift this weekend and it included becca skin perfecting pressed powder as a highlight and it is GORGEOUS! I loved it so!

Same issue here. Ordered Friday morning. No confirmation on shipping yet.

There was a message at checkout today that orders could be delayed up to three days.

[irishbride2]

I placed two orders on Thursday. One was shipped Friday. The other hasn't even shipped yet.

I have been wondering about these.  Are they just finishing powders?  Highlighters? Both?

How did it compare to the Hourglass Ambient powders?

Does anybody have a MU remover they really like? I have some oil free nutrigena but it's like a damn oil slick on my face after.

I smear my face with avocado oil and wipe with a hot wash cloth so I am no help.

I just use the clinique cleanser. I don't even use specific MU remover (eye or otherwise) anymore

I ordered on Friday and it already arrived today! However only 1/3 samples I picked were in the box, they checked all 3 off on the invoice so they didn't even replace the missing ones

[Vespasia]

I got both of my orders today. First impression randoms:

The UD lipsticks in the set are tiny.
The Besseme powder is also smaller than I pictured.
Love the aubergine lip crayon.

I can barely remember everything I ordered.

[secretlyevil]

I tried to pick up an aubergine bite crayon on Saturday with no luck. I was sad but I really don't need another berry lipstick.

They didn't replace? That sucks! My (first) order came today and I only got one of the three samples that I picked, but I did get replacements plus extra perfume samples to make up for it.

I didn't put it on myself but it looked so beautiful on her when she brushed it on top of her cheek bones. I bought it for her to use as a highlighter. The description says you can use it either say though. I imagine one would need a light hand to use it everywhere.

I have my FOTD from yesterday. H was performing in a recital/concert and I felt like it was necessary to dress up a little bit more. I ended up using one color from most of my palettes (Vice 3, MUG Cosmopolitan, Chocolate Bar, and Tarte).

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Can someone talk to me some about the Vice 3 palette? Versus maybe Too Faced? Or even Nyx? I was all set to get the Vice 3 -I have a Vice 2 and I love it and am down to the pan in several colors, but a lot of the bloggers seem to be complaining that this set is not as blendable, and when I've tried them in the store, I'd agree. Maybe I need some alternate suggestions? I am not a neutrals girl. I have plenty of that. What I loved about Vice was all of the bold colors and chances to mix some really interesting shades on the lid. If Vice 3 isn't the way to go, does anyone have other suggestions for me?

I love it. I honestly haven't noticed any of the problems that others talk about.

Too faced has a fun colorful small palette called "a la mode"; it's nice too. It has the bronzy/pink/dark blue shades similar in Vice 3.



Eta: I do not like the brush or the packaging of vice 3. It's poop.

I am on the fence.

I think Vice 3 has the best colors of any palette.  I really love the colors.  It's easy to create lots of looks using only that palette.  But I find it really hard to blend and the fallout annoying.

I don't regret buying it.  I am happy to have it and I am having a lot of fun with it.  But I also wouldn't replace it if I dropped it or lost it or something.

The MUFE artist palette looks beautiful.

or the one that @irishbride2 linked!  Someone here had that, though I can't remember who, and I don't think she's posted here in a while.  She LOVED it.

I think someone had it in the Siren colors. Which TBH have been kind of tempting me ever since summer.

ETA but Vamp would be so gorgeous for fall/winter.

Aw, thanks! It was the first day of using my new Deva products so I'm thinking that stuff is just magic.

Tomorrow marks a week for my ole kit. My pores look the same size, but my redness around my nose seems to have decreased, and my face is smooooth. No acne either, which is impressive.

I wont repurchase the eye cream, and it's too soon to tell about the walnut scrub.
I'll probably buy the three wonders set since it seems cost effective to see how I like it all over a longer time span.
My real dilemma comes in the day cream. My face was noticeably drier over the weekend when I didn't use it, but it's an extra $55. It also feels a little heavy, and I don't need the Spf. I may look into other Ole day moisturizers.

Ok, yes, that's what I meant. I got confused by Irish's link. Or distracted by the siren's song, if I may be so corny.

Have you seen the swatches?!

Gahhhhhhhhhh. It is so lovely. lyssbobiss, Command, B613 get this one.

[persa]

I placed my final order, the tarte lipsurgence set, but I didn't use the sale code bc I wanted to get the gift bag with the black honey , I figured it was worth $7.

I'm thinking that with twins on the way in a few short weeks, I'm not going to have much time to do my makeup but I can always put some pretty lipstick, lol.

I had a whole "makeup strategy" for being in the hospital after giving birth, and this was actually PRE MAKEUP THREAD ME!

Congrats on the babies! I didn't know this!! How exciting!!

Fucking makeup industry. Just as tempting at the indie level as at the corporate level.

I got two things: an eyeshadow pencil in Baby (Dirty Dancing) and the Winsome Lipstick.

Thanks! I'm thinking I might keep my old tube of Nars concealer, eyeliner, mascara and some cream blush in my purse, in case I go into labor unexpectedly and don't have my bag packed yet, lol.
