AUGUST Randoms

[secretlyevil]

Last month of summer make up!

[secretlyevil]

Good thing I forgot a couple of things in my Ulta order on Saturday because apparently it is my anniversary and I am getting another 5x bonus points. I give up.

I could have written this post exactly. We are leading parallel lives, lady.

I'm ready for fall.  I need to push myself to use my summer stuff while I can.

I'm feeling the same.

Late summer and early fall is my favorite makeup season!!! Oranges, golds, and bronzes are my jam.

I just got the Modern Renaissance palette in the mail today and used it this evening and OMG I think I'm gonna love it. It blended SO EASILY.

I've been looking at the Viseart palettes and while I don't need anymore neutral palettes at all, these are calling my name. The newest one for fall looks so beautiful, I think I may have to get this one.

Oooh, this is nice!

I know in the past, Sephora has done some point promo thing in August. Has anyone heard anything about that?

The points aren't all that great, but I've got a few things I need to buy anyway.

I just went to Ulta and didn't buy a thing. It was weird.

I also got my eyebrows threaded. Holy shit, it hurts so bad, but the end result is worth it.

Oh yes.

Everytime I get it done, I keep asking DH if my forehead is swollen. It's not but it burns like hell. LOL.

I'm a bit disappointed with the orange Real Techniques sponge.

I mean, I love it but it's falling apart after two weeks of everyday use.

I'll probably keep purchasing it though; it is THAT good.

I got the UD all nighter foundation and I really like it, but it oxidizes on me. I wish I had known ahead of time to get a lighter color! But otherwise, the coverage is insane and it does last on me literally all day.

[veruca5839]

lyssbobiss, Command, B613, good to know. I got it a few days ago but have only done a test swatch so far; I haven't had a chance to give it a full day test yet. The color I got seems a touch light for me, so I'm curious if it will oxidize (and if it does, if the color will be a good match). I'm glad to hear the coverage and wear time are so nice!

Do any of you use Morphe brushes?

I bought a set of blending brushes from them when they were on Hautelook and I like them a lot.

The new Stila 500 pt set looks decent. I haven't worn Stila, though; any thoughts?

[nursewife]

Anyone know if Sephora is doing another Epic Fail points even this August?

[nursewife]

Has anyone bought the LM eye art caviar palette? I love my LM artist palette, and am considering this one now too.

[cottoncandy]

I went to Neimans today to check out their makeup and ended up buying chanel espadrilles:-/ I guess it was a makeup fail, but a fashion win.

It also interested me, but I have a sample of that lip color already, and the color isn't great on me. If the lip color was different, I would get the set.

The lip color really does stay all day. A bit messy to apply, but no worse than most liquid lipsticks. It's a true red, which I don't like on me.

I haven't used the other products. I think Stila is a pretty mediocre brand, but from what I gather, Kitten and their eyeliners are among their best products.

I've been watching the Sephora boards.

There will not be the 1000+ point thing where they offer up a like three things and an epic shitshow follows.

No word yet on whether there will be a point multiplier promo. According to the boards, that promo started the first Sunday in August the last two years.

Look at what I found at Marshall's for $5.

Yes, I totally needed more blush. *NOT!

[mdgirl]

I caved and bought the Kylie lip kit in Leo yesterday. I'm proud to be a Leo ok?

I turned my ebates into an Ulta gift card, so as soon as I see a 5x points promo the new UD foundation is mine for free.

ColourPop is having a 20% off flash sale right now.

love the kitten eyeshadow. It's my favorite and pretty much the only shade I wear (or a similar one). I'm not big into shadow, ha ha.

I've been feeling largely uninspired. Got a lot of medical bills so not as much makeup. I even have my 2k points to spend at ULTA and I'm sitting on it.

I'm trying to place an order and I have a 5$ first time buyer code but I can't figure for the life of me where to put the code!

I'm starting to side eye Temptalia. She has ranked application really low on both Moondust and Modern Renaissance. She has done that on several reviews that I've read and knocks the overall score way down.

The application for MR *is* bad. I have trouble with it every time I try to use it. So much so that I'm thinking of taking it back. I haven't said anything cause everyone else seems to love it.

Finally! Some real feedback, ok so have you done it both wet and dry? Is one better than the other?

I haven't tried Modern Ren wet, but I don't think that's what you were asking about? I haven't tried Moondust yet. I was going to try tomorrow.
