May randoms

I purchased 2 loreal foundations just to try them. I haven't tried them yet.

[mfluder]

I blame y'all for the Colourpop order just made.

[Pippin]

Yup I'm doing a no buy this month too. It shouldn't be too hard, we're moving next month so I'll be packing up most of my make up in a few weeks anyway.

[forreals]

I am just going to keep coming in to this thread to stare at the gorgeousness that is this month's photo.

[starlily]

I'm on a spending freeze, so I'm going to have a lot of fun with all my accumulated samples this month.

The picture for May is so pretty! Great pick pixy0stix.

I am also in a no buy this month, I have two vacations in May that will drain my extra spending money, even though vacation seems like a reason to need more makeup lol.

[mortomo]

I need to be on a no buy this month too (not just make-up, but everything that isn't a necessity!). I think the stuff I got from the Tarte deal last week will hold me over for a while. It will give me a chance to use some of my colors that I usually gravitate toward for Spring/Summer. I usually do a seasonal rotation of my make-up and haven't done it yet for spring.

I ordered some new pants yesterday, but I desperately needed them, so that doesn't count!

ETA:  I meant to comment on the picture for May.  Her eyes are mesmerizing!

[ChillyMcFreeze]

It's my birthmonth, so I'm on a buy-all-the-things spree!!

[kittycatlove]

I need to be on a no buy and will be for at least the next two weeks while we get ready to move.

[Vespasia]

I wrote my first ever review on the Ulta webite for the Nyx colored mascara. It's awful. It does absolutely nothing for my lashes and the color barely shows up at all.

[pixy0stix]

I'm looking forward to see how long these no buys last.

[persa]

Haha pixy0stix, I was thinking the same thing!

[mrsukyankee]

I'm heading to the States at the end of June. I think I can convince my H to go to the Target that is near an Ulta. I am going to go on a no buy until then so I can buy ALL THE MAKEUP and HAIR PRODUCTS!

I'd be interested to hear if they post it. The Ulta and Sephora web sites are kind of notorious for not including bad reviews of products.

[litebright]

I decided to try a new foundation during the most recent Bare Minerals points deal at Ulta and got their Bareskin liquid stuff. It's sort of weird to be back using a liquid foundation after a couple of years of the mineral powder. I'm still re-adjusting -- I picked up one of the RT spongy applicator things and I'm playing around with the order of primer/powder/foundation to see what works the best.

The color matches my skin well, though. Coverage is a bit thin but buildable and doesn't feel heavy. I have redness on my cheeks/nose that requires a bit more work to cover up with the liquid than with the mineral foundation.

I agree with you! Also the one I bought smells really bad. Like cheap crayons or something.

Do you have a white eyelash primer? I got a tip from a blogger once - she suggested using one of those underneath colored mascara to help make the color show up.  

I've tried two different eyelash primers, both acquired for free with a Sephora code at various points in time, a Dior one and a Tarte one. The Dior one was meh, but the Tarte one really makes a big difference.

ETA - I didn't try with the NYX one, but it worked with a blue They're Real.

I don't know why I keep trying to get the Manny MUA makeup geek palette. The website always takes a complete crap when it releases.

What do they look like?  I was in a drugstore the other day and staring at the WnW display, but was in ahurry and didn't grab anything.  I didn't see anything highlighterish that caught my eye though.  new seasonal thing?  permanent?  what are we talkinga bout here??!

(I like highlighters)

I'm inlove with the Smashbox Double Exposure palette so far. Thank you imobviouslystaying for posting that Macy's sale.

I think it's going to be my travel palette.

I have no hope.  I've NEVER managed to find an LE line in the store.  Not one, not from a single brand.  DAMMIT.

What are you loving about it? I've played around with it and I'm kind of second guessing it. I haven't tried anything wet though.

I like the colours, it goes on pretty good, not a lot of fallout.

I haven't tried it wet.

I want to try this, but I'm so scared of jacking it up. Did you follow a tutorial or anything?

I did for the most part. I added WAYYYY more highlight than the one tutorial said to, only because I wanted a soft shimmery rainbow and not a color wheel on my face (ahem GRAV3YARD GIRL.) lol

Also, I made my shadow paste a lot looser than what I've seen on tutorials, which made mine look a lot smoother.

[waffletime]

I'm developing a sliiiiight obsession.



That red in the middle is Madrid, I just picked it up a couple days ago, and I love it. Excuse my otherwise lack of makeup and my air dried hair, lol.
