[Champagne Supernova]

I ended up putting in a Sephora order without buying any of the Bite duos. I really don't need them and I've been trying to cut back on spending money on stuff I really don't need.

What a weird feeling, LOL.

I used my gift card to get the Hourglass blush palette and the NARS Audacious lipstick in Juliette. I'm so ready for spring makeup.

I am too. I'm always ready for the next season in the middle of the one before. :/

I'm ready for spring makeup too. All week I felt like my eye makeup looked like crap, but it's not like I haven't done these looks before. I think I'm just bored with them and ready for something new.

ESF did you see the new B&B invisible oil 500 PT reward at Sephora?

I did. But I placed an order on B&Bs website over a year ago on a cyberMonday promo and got a a few IO travel samples that I haven't finished using.

And I am getting sick of IO and am trying to use up what I have to make the switch to Verb, which I've been testing out and really like.

Slowly gathering together an order to spend my points and then Ulta send me a perversion GWP and a 20% off coupon. Suddenly I'm a little more excited to spend my points.

Chanel.com has free overnight shipping on all orders placed before 4pm eastern time today. I've been wanting to try their blotting papers but did not want to pay shipping so I ordered those. They also have good samples to pick from!

Oooo ivd never tried any of their products but the vitalumier has been on my list for ages....

I have gone 4 weeks without buying makeup. I think I am going through makeup shopping withdrawals lol. Maybe this weekend I'll hit Sephora. I have a few things in my cart I want to see in person. H is going away for the weekend with the guys so I can guilt him into makeup shopping money.

I've purchased a ridiculous amount of makeup lately.

I bought buxom eyeshadows yesterday from Ulta and they didn't have any empty palettes left. I asked if I could still buy them because I was going to put them in a zpallete and they came to 5.33 a peice. I have no idea it would work again but it made my crap day a ton better. Lol, it's the little things. I turned my mac empty palette magnetic and now all of my neutral favorite shadows are together.

I really wanted the Lorac Brunch palette but the reviews are horrible so I ordered a colorful morphe palette. It won't be here for a few weeks but the reviews were good so we will see.

[Champagne Supernova]

Ugh, do I need this?

Nope, you don't need it! /end Kimberly Clark

Seriously though, go look at all your highlighters and strobe powders. I'm sure that you have dupes of at least 2 (if not all) of these.

LOL! The packaging is soooo pretty though. 

Highlighter-wise, all I have is the Becca Champagne Pop Face Palette.

Do you have a good bronzer? I love the Physicians formula Butter Bronzer.

I love the look of Becca's new highlighter called Amethyst. I feel like it's what I wanted opal to be on me. I haven't wanted new makeup for months and I really don't need it but wahh

Edit: I talked myself out of it, lol. I might try the WNW dupe when it comes out though.

There's going to be a WnW dupe? can you point me to more info?

I've been following this from Caroline Hirons. My face looks gooooood. I had all these products already, but I like the order and her tips.

Also, I stopped pretending that removing makeup with micellar water was the same as washing my face.

I've got my eye on the purple Wet n Wild one myself:

Thank you for this. Also, I got a bunch of hydrating mists from gift sets during the holidays. I thought they're only good for misting my face during long-haul flights but I'm going to start incorporating them in my morning routine.

I just don't believe micellar water or cleansing wipes. I think it just rubs dirt into pores.

Yeah, I can't get on board with any of those. I still do the foaming cleanser after the micellar water.

And I still can't effing get the MUFE pencil totally washed off. I'm considering getting the MUFE makeup remover but it kind of pisses me off to have to buy a specific product just to get it off my face

[followyourarrow]

Exceptionally stupid question, but where exactly do I put eye cream? Is it just under the eye?

[centralsquare]

persa, this stuff is the best. I've used it for years, and I always go back to it.

Just placed an Ulta order using my 2000 points and 20% off. I paid $18! Pretty excited to get it :-)

I got:
- Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum
- Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Lipstick
- Butter London Shadow Clutch Wardrobe Duos in Fancy Flutter
- Julep Tinted Lip Oil Treatment in Covet
- Julep Tinted Lip Oil Treatment in Obsessed
- UD Subversion Lash Primer
- Stila Aqua Glow Watercolor Blush
- Julep Ultamate Fuchsia (nail polish) (sample) (free gift)
- Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal
- Smashbox Deluxe Photo Finish Foundation Primer (sample) (free gift)
- UD Deluxe Perversion Mascara (sample) (free gift)
- Philosophy Deluxe Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser (sample) (free gift)


Also, I bought the Lancome Teint Idole 24 hour foundation earlier this week, and I'm in love. My skin looks amazing with it, and it really does last all day. I put it on at 6am yesterday, and it still looked amazing at when I took it off at 9pm. The only touch up I'd done was to blot oil and add a tiny bit more (just what was left on my foundation brush) on my nose where I'd rubbed it off by blowing my nose.

Oh! And, I got two Sephora brand products that I love so far.

Sephora Easy Smokey Eye in smouldering brown and Sephora Rouge Lip Tint in magenta.

Both look amazing, and they last forever.

Nice! I'm interested in the eyeshadow stick, I wish they had a lighter more bronzey color though.

I do under and out to the sides, where my fine lines are.

[Champagne Supernova]

I tried switching to just rinsing and micellar water in the mornings because my face was really dry (freaking winter) but as soon as I started using argan oil at night, rinsing and micellar water alone are NOT going to cut it in the morning. I like my face squeaky clean.
