I'm $50 away from Rouge at Sephora.

I said I wasn't going to do it again next year.... but...should I? If so, what should I get? I don't "need" anything at all.

I don't think Rouge offers much over VIB but for $50 more, I'd probably go for it anyway, and buy something fun for myself. The free NARS blush is super nice.

As for ideas on what to buy -

Bite has a new agave lip balm and scrub.

I've also lately been intrigued by the brands Farmacy and Herbivore. Fun masks, skin care, and bath stuff.

I've been using Farmacy's Lip Bloom since August and my lips have never been so soft.

Metallic is the modern term for frosted isn't it?

Could one of you please tell me I don't need this??  It's so pretty and it's on sale at Macy's for $37.

You don't need this! You probably already have the two colors on the right, at least close enough. And the ivory on the left you surely have as well. So then you're buying a light brown and a frosty purple pink. I'll bet you have some colors similar to those too, right?

You're totally right!

Lol, I think so.

I tried on the YSL Glossy Stain today. It is gorgeousness.

Yes! I love this Lip Bloom. It is my favorite lip moisturizer. The honey ginger one is sooooo good.

I also got a deluxe sample of the face mist toner stuff, and it's nice.  

I really want this.  It looks like there's fun stuff in there.

Since there's no way I'm hitting Rouge this year, I'm holding off until January 1st to buy some things from Sephora with my Christmas money. One is a really pretty lipstick that I've been coveting since I tried it on in store (MUFE C211). I have such a lipstick addiction.

[stephm0188]

I SUCK at picking out lipstick. I thought I'd take advantage of the sale at Ulta and pick up some Maybelline and L'Oreal lipstick. Two of them have a frosted finish to them. NOPE. The other is just wrong for me and makes me look awful.

I give up. The colors I choose either blend in with my lip color or they;re just blatantly wrong for me. I did pick out one NYX lipstick in Staycation that doesn't look terrible.

Do it!


Also, I'm so happy to be back in the makeup game.

I LOVE shopping for lip gloss and lipstick. Maybe I can help? What is your hair color, eye color, skin tone and undertone?

I have a lip gloss/lipstick addiction too. I'll have to check out that one!

I'm going to take you up on it! Brown hair, but not a pretty brown. It's mousy. My hair is kind if sunbleached, but my brows are definitely mousy brown. Hazel eyes. I have a lot of redness in my skin. Pink undertone I guess? I've always worn a "creamy beige foundation across various brands.

Bite Pepper is pretty much my exact lip color. I have really thin lips as well.

Lipgloss hasn't ever been an issue for me, but lipstick is hard.

Have you tried more brown toned lipsticks? I have similar skin tones/hazel eyes etc and I find that any brown lipstick really works for me. The 90s lip trend has been amazing for me lol. There are some good brown tones in the Bite line. Also Maybelline has a whole brown toned collection. The Color Sensationals with the creamy colored caps.

That's a good suggestion. 

I also picked up a TF Melted in Berry, and I love it. So maybe I need to look into berry shades, too. I was looking at the TF Melted Chocolate shades last night.

I went to Ulta to use my gift card from Xmas and maintain my Platinum status for next year. The one thing I did NOT need was eye shadow. Guess what I bought?




The palette was on sale and I had to have the top right color despite the fact that it came with a color practically identical to one in the palette.

The green on the top right doesn't swatch well but the rest are very pretty. I swapped it out for the single, the whole palette opens so you can switch them out.

What is that green color on the top right? The one that's not part of the palette? It's gorgeous!!

It's called Plume and it comes as part of the "Fancy Flutter" duo. The companion shade is beautiful too.
