I think in the garden would be super pretty on you!

Awwww thanks! I'm excited for the green shades!

I lagged in palette accumulation earlier, but I am making up for it now.

The Sage shade is so, so pretty.  The Juniper shade is more of a teal, but still gorgeous.

[SallyJ]

More of a natural look because we have date night tonight and I don't to completely re-do my makeup later. Eyes are Vice 3 Truth, Undone, and DTF with Lorac liquid eyeliner pen and Tarte Lights Camera Flashes mascara. Cheeks are Posietint. Lips are Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint in Dainty (love this beautiful MLOB color).

Who got the wonder lip paint in their ipsy bag? How are you applying it? I used my finger, and I don't think that's the way to go.

I got the wonder lip paint, and tried applying it with my finger too. WOW - if I ever want to go goth, there's my product.  It was a definite before-picture moment.

It worked better to apply a very thin coat with a lip brush, but it's still not my color. I don't know if they sent the same shade to everyone - mine is called "red potion". It's more of a purple-red bing cherry color on me, and too strong for my coloring. After blotting, applying lip balm, and repeating a couple of times, I could wear it without startling myself when I looked in the mirror.

Free to a good home!

Try a peach gloss over it. I'm super pale, got the same shade, and it's really pretty with the peach over it.

I'm annoyed.

I returned a few things today at Sephora and they would only give me store credit, which cannot be used on line. I very rarely go to the store. I do all shopping on line. I was in the store today, but I had both kids and it was packed so I wasn't going to spend time checking things out. Why couldn't they just give me a giftcard!?!? Is this the norm?

I got the wonder lip paint, but in a really pretty berry pink called Mad Splatter.

When I first tried it on I loved it. But then a couple hours later I looked in the mirror and it had run into all these little fine lines around my lips. I cleaned that up, then an hour or so later I looked and it had somehow gotten streaked down my chin.

I've been wearing lipstick a long, long time and I've never had either problem!

I'll give it another shot, but it might just not work for me.

As far as application, I used my finger then just cleaned my finger with makeup remover. But I'm thinking I need a super sheer application next time.

I was going to ask for a manager, but at that point Jack was shrieking from the stroller and trying to steal They're Real from the closest shelf. It was packed and I just wanted to get out of there.

I don't blame you.  I don't have kids, but going in there when it's packed makes me want to flee as quickly as possible too.

[KateAggie]

FOTD with the wonder paint in red potion, topped with peach gloss, vice 3 on the eyes, and bouncy blush from Maybelline.

[runaways]

Gah you guys. Go get the MJ skyliner set if you haven't! All the colors are lovely and the purple is especially SO gorgeous.

That happened to me too. I didn't realize until later but I meant to ask if they would let me purchase a gift card with it.

So you guys had receipts and they still wouldn't do a refund? This will really frustrate me as I rarely shop in store:(

I do regularly shop at a brick and mortar Sephora and this would have had me raging. Given that sephora.com will refund to your credit card as long as you return items with a receipt (http://www.sephora.com/customerService/customerServiceTemplate.jsp?mediaId=10800030), I'd consider contacting the store manager over this.

Oh that's bullshit. I didn't have the receipts when I did my return.

[forreals]

In case anyone is considering the audacious lipsticks, here are Anita, Barbara, and Brigitte.

I am totally sold on the first two, just can't decide if Brigitte is a touch too warm.

So I'm searching Etsy for a case for my phone and this comes up:

Isn't it amazing? I love the formula so much. Which is unfortunate because it is so much more expensive than NYX.

[epphd]

Damn you people.

I have been testing a sample of Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry creme and y'all - it's amazing. So since I was ordering that, I ended up adding about 6 other things

Anyway, if you are a wavy or curly head (I'm a 3b curly), this shiz is amazing. w/o it my hair is a fuzzy frizzy mess after blow drying with a round brush. With this, it's actually *almost* smooth enough to do without a flatiron. I'm not sure what the hell is in it but it's awesome.

ETA: I also ordered an MJ eyeliner (shimmery rasberry), a bite mini Duo (nude rose/light brown) and a bunch of samples.

I'd say fuck senhora for screwing you over but they have me by the balls

If you had the receipts and the products weren't like six months old, they should have given you your money back.  I'd call the store manager.

persa. Can you update after you've tried IT concealer a few times?

Of course. I was going to try to swing by Ulta today. I'll even take before and after pics, just for you

I wore the amazing concealer again last night and it was OK but I don't think I'm going to keep it, the color is a little off and I don't like the texture.

First time I've worn a full face in a LONG time. New lipstick and blush (both MAC)

I bought BB corrector (used to love it) and I'm just meh now. I do like amazing concealer but it's crazy hard to blend. So I understand what you mean by the texture.

Tiramisu recommended mixing two of the heavy duty products together for more coverage. I may go that route.

I use the It concealer and I like it. It is the only one I have used so I have nothing to compare it too though.
