We talked about these briefly in MUT (make-up thread on CEP for those that are just joining us). 

Have you seen any that you need?

TWO FACED MELTED METALLICS

I think this Balm palette is new. I want it.

I didn't realize this posted. HA! I was working on it.

But yes, I am also on board with the metallics.

All I've been seeing in my Sephora emails is shit about contouring.

There are SO MANY contouring palettes out now.

The two palettes that I was eyeing (LM and a MAC collab) were rated poorly by Temptalia.

Too Faced Sugar Pop will be mine. It might be the thing that snaps me out of my makeup slump.

Debating their new Natural Matte palette. Ehhh.

Oh, I LIKE this.

I'm behind the times so I'm finally getting the Chocolate Bar, lol.

I don't get the contouring palettes. Can anyone actually use all the various shades of bronzer that come in some of these kits? Why aren't they designed by skin tone?

YAAASSS. I want it, I need it!

[pixy0stix]

[panicked]

I just got the Ulta rose gold palette and I love it.

This is me, too. I just... no. Not into this. Please stop sending me stuff about it, Sephora. Send me blush, lips and eyeshadow instead.

Speaking of palettes, has anyone tried Too Faced Natural Face? It appeals to me more than a shadow palette because I rarely wear shadow.

So... I thought so at one time, too, but I've changed my tone a bit. For me, it depends on how dramatic and/or "sunkissed" I want to look when I contour. If I want to do traditional I go for the darker more muted colors. If I want everyday/fun in the sun/traditional bronzer look I go with the warmer colors. I think it all depends on how you use them.

I agree with this.  I am pretty Casper in skin tone and find contour can give me depth and color.  So even the darker contour colors can work on me if done in the right spot and blended.

There are a few on the TF website, but my ulta didn't have it in store as of this morning. I went in to buy the best of becca set because they don't have it online anymore, and was scared they were getting rid of it.

Plenty!

The Too Faced Sugar Palette

Lorac Cheek Palette

The Balm Balm voyage Vol 2.

Two Balm Quads at Kohls called La Balmba 1 & 2

Some of the Colour Pop Lippie Stixs released. Think I'm going to order some tonight.

And because I have $125 in points for Ulta. I'm going to order the Smashbox double exposure palette when I order the Lorac Blush and Too Faced.

I had a girl at Sephora do my eyes yesterday and asked her to use this palette. I was really happy with how it looked!

Not a palette, but I just ordered the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder. Other than watching your contouring video pixy0stix, contouring is an entirely new concept for me, and can't wait to play around with it.

Melted metallics!

MAC is supposed to have new collections released online today and as of 7:30 central time none of them are online yet. There's two lipsticks I really want and I feel like a crazy lady stalking their website for them.

The collections went live a little after 8 and I picked up Maria Moretti and Hollywood Cerise.  I'm a sucked for a bright berry pink and I'm on a light red for summer kick this season.  The swatches for them, especially the Maria Moretti, look beautiful for warm weather.


I almost picked up Make Me Gorgeous but corals are hard for me and I'd rather wait for the store release and try it on before buying it.
