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.

ok, I got confused. You're not loving modern Renaissance...

I'm putting together my list to spend my points. I have potentially three eye shadow palettes. Yeah no. That's redic.

For sure:
Tarte shape tape concealer
Urban decay afterglow blush in one of the following: score, kinky or indecent. I want to replace my nars blush that fades within a couple hours.

Emily Noel is raving about the new UD full foundation. I'd like to try it. Not for an every day foundation but I'd like a full coverage foundation to have on hand for those random occasions I want one.

[glitzyglow]

I bought the CoverGirl Katy Kat mascara and although it's only been 2 days, I effing hate it. It promises a cat eye that it most definitely doesn't give me. I'm hoping the formula dries out a little bit over the next few days since it's so wet and I don't think the tube pulls off enough excess product.

I also bought the Smashbox BB undereye concealer. I'm not very impressed with the coverage I'm seeing today. I'm going to try it through Monday before I decide to take it back or not. I guess I'll try building it up a little more tomorrow to see if I get better coverage, but right now I feel like you can still clearly see my dark circles right through the product.

Does Makeup Geek ever have sales? I really want to order a few.

Black Friday I picked up quite a few.

How do you feel about the shadows?

I think they're good, especially the foils.

Nothing from Sephora yet so I'm thinking they aren't doing their usual August points promo.

But Ulta just sent me a 3x points promo.

[secretlyevil]

Yes, I did too, THREE weeks in a row of x# points offer. Ulta really knows me well.

I haven't gotten an Ulta email since 5-23 when I bought something.  I randomly check my account to see if I have any points promos and I do.  I just never get notification.  I have the 3x points that started today and I have thd correct email address and show as subscribed to emails.  I dont get why the emails stopped.

this has happened to me twice too. If I go into my account and unsubscribe, then re-subscribe it seems to fix it.

Ulta keeps pulling me in with the point promos, too. I picked up a couple of new lip colors this weekend -- one Vice and one of the new TF melted mattes.

I wonder if I hit enough point promos, if I could get back up to 2K points by the time holiday sets come out.

I absolutely love it but buy a shade lighter than you think you need because it oxidizes.

I went Saturday to Ulta sans make up to specifically try the foundation out. I wanted to see if I had oxidization as well. I didn't see any change in color throughout the day.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did try that a couple of weeks ago and didn't get the recent 3x promo in my email (it's on my account).

I'll try it again and see if it works. Otherwise I'm calling because I have points to use and want to be in the loop of any platinum deals!

I will say though, without Ulta emails I have been sticking to my 'no buy'.  Out of sight out of mind!

Oh, good idea! I'm glad it didn't darken on you!

😁 Ulta is half a mile from my house and office. It's dangerous and sometimes I use it as my personal make up vanity...

Can lipstick oxidize? I have a ColourPop satin liquid lipstick that I swear gets darker as the hours pass.

Maybe? It would be whatever your personal body chemistry is mixing with the lipstick ingredients. Like the color change lipsticks back in the day.

I've found this to be an issue with most of my ColourPop lip products. The satin liquids in particular. Littlestitous goes from a pale nude to a bright fushia stain after an hour or so on my lips. Others just keep looking darker the longer I have them.

This is it! Littlestitious is the one I'm having the color change issues with. It gets darker, and then leaves a brighter stain. The color is so different that I thought I was going crazy.

The only other one I have is Molly. I haven't noticed a problem with that one, but next time I wear it, I'm going to pay closer attention. 

[secretlyevil]

Oh my...unplanned bright fuschia could clash big time with the rest of your make up.

I've noticed other reviews on the Colourpop website that this happens fairly often. My guess is body chemistry causes it.

@secretlyevil Yes! I have to plan my makeup carefully when I want to wear Littlestitous cause the fushia stain DOES.NOT.COME.OFF lol.

I wonder if weather has something to do with it. I bought it back in May. I hadn't worn it that much, because shortly after purchase, it found its way in a handbag that then sat on a shelf for a couple months. I dug it out recently during a closet clean. Weather is much warmer now so maybe that's having an effect.

I recently got two new pairs of glasses. One is brown tortoise but the other is a a raspberry shade. They are hard to pair with lipstick, but browns, nudes, etc seem to go well.  I pulled out Littlestitious thinking it would be perfect, but two hours later, my lips matched my glasses.

[Pippin]

Mini haul:) I traded in my ebates check for an Ulta gift card and snagged the UD beauty break last week. Pretty excited to do my make up today lol. 

[ESF]

I realized I also have a third CP satin lip, Trap. I never wore it because it looked awful on me. I pulled it out this morning and tried it again, and I really like how it looks with my new glasses.

But it too is changing on me. 2 hours in, and my lips now look bruised.

[artgal84]

I got a blending brush in my last Ipsy bag (Sedona lace). I decided to try using it for concealer and eye primer. Wow. It works so well! I just dot both on and then blend them with the brush. faster and better results from both products (and less messy fingers).

I think so. there's a drug store line (I forgot exactly which one) where every shade turns bright pink on me after a couple of hours.
