I got a Buxom eyeshadow single in a GWP recently, and I have worn it everyday since. I really love the color, and it lasts a very long time with primer. It applies and blends beautifully as well. I've marked down more colors on my wish list.

I put together a custom Buxom palette for myself recently, and I love their shadow quality. Six singles + case for $40 is pretty darn good, too, compared to the individual cost for Buxom singles (or other brand singles like UD, for that matter).

nsl and litebright-- building my own palette is my plan! I saw a few colors that jumped out at me that look different from what's already in my collection. I'm putting it all on my wish list!

Sephora sent me an email yesterday that they oversold the Play box subscriptions, so I don't get this month's. They aren't charging me, and I do get 500 points so yay for that. But I'm really disappointed - I've been getting the boxes since the very beginning, shouldn't I have some kind of seniority? (kidding, mostly, but...I'm disappointed!)

I got the Sephora favorites bronze bares all kit for my birthday from my mom and I am not feeling it. I am debating taking back. I feel like all of these things will just sit unused forever and take up space.

I'm in Portugal right now and literally the only shopping I wanted to do was at a tiny boutique that sells Zoeva. Unfortunately they were sold out of the nude blush palette, so I just got an En Taupe palette and a pretty 142 brush. I wish we could get this easier in the US!

I'm doing a bit of reorganizing in the bedroom/closet and it's like I've gone shopping. I've found three lipsticks, a tub of Fresh sugar scrub that I bought in April but haven't been able to find, numerous free samples, and an ungodly amount of ribbon hair ties.

Jealous!! Let us know how you like it.

Well mine may never come. It was shipped over a week ago and has apparently been sitting at my local PO for 3 days with no tracking update. Frustrating they won't honor flash shipping for these!

Wayne Goss put up a video this week about some hot new trend called draping. It's basically contouring with blush. I tried it out yesterday and today and I like it.

It's a good way to justify owning a massive blush and highlighter collection.

Plus it makes good use of the Gwen palette.

It's a Buxom customizable palette thing with the new fall colors.

I bought this!  The two reddish/coppery colors were out of stock at Sephora so I substituted browns from the existing line instead, but I've been incredibly impressed by all of the shadows.  Rich, buttery, long-lasting, really easy to blend.

those swatches are gorgeous.

[kittycatlove]

I just picked up a buxom shadow to try. I swatched a few and they are gorgeous. I just need to make sure I'm not allergic to the formula before I create a whole palette. I love that new fall one too...

[secretlyevil]

So not all of those colors are available at Ulta? Ugh, I hate that.

[stephm0188]

Alrighty. I spent my 2000 points at Ulta. I had $125 in point, a $20 gift card, and a $10 off coupon.

I bought:
Mally Poreless Face Defender (it's $20 right now!)
Lorac Pro 3
Benefit Majorette
Lorac Unzipped Cheek palette
a Makeup Revolution lipstick
and a Laura Geller Baked Beauty 101

My gifts with purchase:
A Laura Gellar blush, brush, and bag
Mini Lorac eye pencil
deluxe Benefit ka-Brow
and a 20 piece sample bag

Not too shabby. FREE MAKEUP!!

Also, I know it's old news but I am PUMPED that TF is re-releasing Sweet Peach this fall. I missed out and it was kind of a regret.

I can't wait! I don't think it was ever released on Sephora in Canada. I'm definitely not missing it the second time around.

Nice list!

I'm at 1000 points having just cashed in back in March. I've barely bought much makeup. Just things like sunscreen, razors, shower gel, etc. I am already dreaming of my next 2000 point purchase.

I really want to try UD's new waterproof foundation. Is it as fabulous as my beloved naked? Is it more fabulous since it is WP? Is it crap? So many questions!

I know; I really want to try it.  But I want to hear reviews first.

I went to Pottery Barn Outlet and they had one of the PB Teen Hampton vanity towers for $130. There's damage on the inside of the cabinet but it's cosmetic and doesn't affect the shelves or drawers. I'm considering going back for it. It'll match the rest of my bedroom furniture pretty well, and I need a full length mirror anyhow.

Same here. I love the Amaretto one.

[cottoncandy]

I got the becca splits in prosecco pop/pamlemousse and I hate the highlighter. Hate. It looks pretty in the pan and like straight up glitter on my skin:-( Back it goes. Returning makeup kills me, but I know I won't wear it.

What's your skin tone like? I have only tried it on my arm but it doesn't look glittery. I'm really fair though.

I'm normally fair/light but I have some color right now. Maybe it was just really sparkly under my bathroom lights, but on my hand it was too much glitter vs. shimmer. I really wanted it to work!

The only review I could find on YouTube of the UD all nighter foundation:

Several first impressions.

My mom's birthday is in September. I had planned to order her a bunch of stuff from Korea (some is on the way) because she loved the decants and sheet masks she has tried from me. She just asked if we can celebrate her birthday next week on our family vacation instead! Cue mad dash to order a bunch of kbeauty on prime, lol.

On the bright side, I'm way ahead on my Christmas shopping. If I don't use it myself in the meantime

[carrotsmakemefat]

Remind me please? Once you have 2k points from ULTA, you get $125 to spend? And you can also stack with a 20% off coupon?
If that's the case I'm going to hold out. I just reached 2k points or may be over now!
