MUG has a few specials. Overall they aren't spectacular, except for the $100 Vegas Lights palette/blush palette/pigment, which is a pretty good deal. I don't even want Vegas Lights and I'm considering this.
All the balm talk inspired me to wear their eyeshadows today. I forget about how much I like them.
I am! An A-rated palette for $18! It looks like a good range of neutrals, along the lines of what I am looking for. Plus according to Temptalia, no overlap with Naked, which I will probably buy eventually.
The Internet tells me that their site crashes and is slow during sales, so people should create accounts and fill their carts ahead of time.

I've got 3 blushes, a highlighter, and brow pow ready to go!

I keep looking at the Vegas Lights palette. Why can't I pull the trigger on it?
It actually looks like something that would be right up your alley, but I think that makeup needs to sing to you. By now you have a good feel for what works and what doesn't, so if you haven't yet pulled the trigger and it's not a $$ issue, there is probably a reason. #DeepThoughts
Personally it doesn't interest me because it's too much shimmery yellow for my taste. The only real draw is that most of the colors are LE.

It doesn't look anything like the Nakeds. It looks a little like chocolate bar though. It's super pretty though. One of my favorite youtubers raves about all the time!!

Yeah, it does look similar to Chocolate bar, but no scent, which was the main reason I resisted. Who raves about it? I need to see what they do with it!
I think I'm going to get that, Cabana Boy, and a highlighter.

Nude tude is already $20 on Amazon. Is it cheaper via the balm? It's been on my wish list forever
Also, what is worth it from the balm anyway? What do you love and is worth it?
Eta: I only have the lip stains, stainiac. It's maybe a 5 out of 10
From an earlier post:
I have a ton of their lipsticks. (Most have good color payoff, are middle of the road in consistency and wear.) I also have all their Shady Lady palettes and the original Meet Matt(e) (not the nude one). Again, good color payoff, medium consistency and wear.
Overall, my impression of The Balm is that it is slightly better and consistent than drug store brands (and even NYX), but not as good as the higher end brands. Although, if pressed, I would say they are on par with Urban Decay.
I'm sure this has probably been discussed at some point, but I'm hoping someone can answer my question. How do you sharpen your non-retractable eyeliner pencils? I have ruined several trying to use a makeup pencil sharpener. They just seem to break off with each twist of the sharpener. I have a couple of Too Faced and Mally Beauty pencils that are flattened down to the casing, and since they are so creamy, I have no idea what to do/use. Also, does anyone have any recs for good retractable eyeliner pencils, preferably waterproof? Thanks!
I finally procured my Naturally Pretty palette. I'm a happy camper!
I'm pleased with the color selection. I put it on before going out, and am really pleased with how little excess power came off each tray. The colors are soft, but look great. Can't wait to play more.
Not sure the pearl transformer thing does anything though.

The Urban Decay Grindhouse pencil sharpener. It's $10. I've been using it since March, and I have not had a single broken pencil.

Yup.
I have broken one, but that was my fault. I over sharpened.
