I know. I think I meant it as a joke... any excuse to go into Sephora!!

...I really did need concealer. Bought their house brand (the gel stuff) and I think I love it. And found a MUA there who I kind of love, too.

It's all good.

So I exchanged my bronzer at lunch and I stopped to swatch the Metal Crush Eyeshadow from Kat Bon D. It's insane yall. One swipe and it was gorgeous. No swirl in the shadow, just a quick swipe. They only had the cranberry color "Raw Power". I have a cranberry color or I would have bought one. SO great.

Far left swatch:

I want this! I'm afraid I might look like a corpse of I tried cranberry eyes but I want it anyway

I was terrified of cranberry but I finally played around with it enough to make it work. I found that using a darker color to tone it down a bit in the outer V or along the lashline (or wherever works best for you) gave it depth and kept me from looking like I was dying.

What about regular old VIBs?

If I recall correctly, starting Monday, it was be 4x for rouge, 3x for VIBs, and 2x for the plebs.

This palette is screaming my name. Screaming.

So just wanted to throw out there that the Wet n Wild Max Volume Plus mascara that came in the most recent Target Beauty box is pretty good! Then top it off with some Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express and you have amazing lashes!!

I did some stress relief shopping over the weekend. Did all kinds of damage across the mall, lol.

As for makeup purchases, I broke down and got the Naked Smoky. Love it!

I want to do a purple look for some pictures I am having taken in August, and it will be my last look/outfit, so my plan is to just dab on a rich/pigmented color over the reddish/brown look I already have on for the other outfits. I just ordered two purple foiled shadows from MUG along with a couple of other shades that looked nice or might be fun to play with.

I just received my latest Ulta order. I also received some random woman from California's ulta order.

I called and they said they could email me a shipping label, but that if that was a pain I could just keep it. So I'm just keeping it (my printer isn't hooked up).

Weird. But free exuviance restorative crème for me? It's $52 and seems like some heavy duty shit...I'm a little afraid of it.

could have been a lot more exciting - like, I wanna get the order of the lady who just went nuts with her coupon and picked up 2 new palettes and maybe some blush.  Maybe a UD revolution lippie or two.  Some melteds.  DREAM BIG.

but it also could have been like, a pack of qtips and some nasty perfume I don't like, so all in all I'll take a tube of fancy face cream.  At least I'll try it.

The Lisa Eldridge palette for Lancôme is really pretty.  I like their mascara, but haven't tried eyeshadow. Any good?  Do you think she will have a positive influence on the line? It launches August 10th.

ooooo. I've never done Lancôme but I like her. I'd be curious to hear what people thing too.

I never liked their shadows, but admittedly I haven't used them in years. I love their mascara and eye make up remover. I think she does tutorials for them. I love her and can't wait to see this in person!!!!

If this is the blue one, I have a deluxe sample and like it a lot. The consistency is so nice. I use all NeoStrata and their Exuviance line.  When you order over $75 from the company website, they give a free full size product (changes each month.) Some of the products are quite potent, so they recommend starting with low AHA etc and then stepping up the percentages.  This cream should be fine.  Maybe start off every other day to be sure it's well tolerated.  My derm carries NeoStrata products. 

secretlyevil tried one of the Exuviance moisturizers, but not sure if she ended up liking it.

Thanks! I remembered seeing somebody mention it, but couldn't remember who. I'll ease into it. I just ran out of night cream and actually ordered boring old cera-ve PM so I have a good one to alternate this with. It's a plan!

the one I tried wasn't any different than CeraVe IMO. Since CeraVe is significantly cheaper...

hmm. I find myself disappointed in some high end shadows (looking at you Chanel), so I wonder what these are like. I'm wracking my brain but I don't think I've used a single thing from them.

man I miss the boxes every time it seems! I catch like one a year. Humph. Lol.

I just saw on IG that the Hourglass holiday palette is going to be $80. I'm going to hold out hope that its release coincides with the Sephora sale, but it doesn't really matter. *sigh*

Chanel makes The Worst shadows. They are awful and I don't get the hype at all! I also don't like the quality of a lot of the dior shadows either.

I have 3 chanel eyeshadow palettes I'm so annoyed I bought in my collection. hate 'em. Agree on dior, too.

I returned my Smashbox palette to Nordstroms last night.  I was so good and didn't buy anything else, but I fell in love with this and really want to get it before it's gone.

Umm...that's gorgeous. You should get it. Now. And then report how great it is.

[grace]

I got the Lorac contour palette and LOVE the brush that came with it. So soft. I might like it better than the palette itself.

[nsl]

Dammit, Burberry!  Why do you do this to me???

Yes! I am going to need this board to update us when these are available. I was so grateful last time when (I think) NewOrleans was so good to us.

[nursewife]

Now that I know of the 4x points event Sunday, I need a few suggestions. I need to get more concealer. Any other suggestions? I'm thinking possibly the ABH couture palette and something else.
