I got the Tarte brow pencil/spoolie when my Anastasia one ran out and so far really like it.

And I'm loving Benefit dandelion shy beam.

Is there an awesome concealer for pinpoint concealing? I've been using Tarte 12 hour and it's ok but not quite thick enough.

I've used the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage and that worked well.

I guess makeup sponges are not meant to last for more than a month no matter how hard I try huh?

And ugh, I lost the MAC Mehr lipstick I got for free for my empty containers. If it doesn't turn up by the end of the week, I'm ordering it. But ugh, this sucks.

I used it Bye Bye Undereye on my acne spots. It covers very well

namasteak, I ditto this.  It's SO pigmented.

the one I see youtubers using specifically for pinpoint concealing is the kevin aucoin sensual skin enhancer used straight up.  It's on my list as a potential thing to grab next time I've got a sephora gift card.  Otherwise it's too pricey for me, but apparently you can also use it as a moisturizer mix-in for custom foundation, which I find intriguing.

I don't usually post over here - but has anyone tried the Milk Blur Stick? I've heard good things about it and am trying to decide if it's worth purchasing. FWIW, I have oily skin.

I tried it at Sephira and didn't like it. But I have dehydrated skin.

[namasteak]

Does anyone try to use silicone free products? I've been looking into it and it is SO FREAKING HARD to find any products without "cones" in it.

Ok, thanks. I wonder if it really fills in/blurs pores? 

[wineandcheese]

I'm thinking I'm going to splurge next weekend and get a new eyeshadow palette at Sephora. I need something other than nudes or pinks. I'm finally getting good at blending and smokey eye looks and want to expand to other colors. Any suggestions?

I have two of the Laura Geller baked gelato swirl illuminators and love them. I've never been able to get into highlighters but these are so pretty.

[peachykate]

I have no idea how I forgot Ulta's Juice infused lip oils. I loved it so much I went back and bought two more so now I have one by my bed, in my purse, and in my car.

[kittycatlove]

Ahh Sephora updated their site. I don't like it I can't find an easy way to shop by brand, they don't have them all listed anymore.

I got a sample of the Milk Blur Stick and I didn't really like it. It didn't do a good job of filling in my pores at all. A lot of people seem to love it, so it might just be me. SaveSave

i noticed this yesterday and also don't like it.  there's not a 'sale' button at the top menu anymore.  

i noticed the same thing about the brands too.  but when it was brand new yesterday the dropdown menu under 'brands' had a 'brands a to z' choice but it never went anywhere.  i clicked it several times and it just sat there trying to load, over and over again.  then today the option was gone.  maybe it will come back once they get the glitch figured out???

I'm really annoyed by the updated site. I couldn't get on the site all day yesterday and most of today. Not being able to shop by brand is super annoying. I saw others complaining on Twitter and Facebook about not having all the brands listed, so I hope they do something to fix that. SaveSave

That is not a good redesign. At. All.

Light medium. I'm white, not Celtic fair, not olive skinned. Lots of freckles.

I like the Kat Von D Shadows and Light palettes. There's a plum one, a rust one, a green one that all look beautiful.

Is Tarte shape tape really the best thing ever?

[namasteak]

RAVE - Dr. Jart brightening hydrogel mask is amazing! My skin looks good but OMG OMG nothing has ever brightened my dark circles and this did! Seriously considering buying them and cutting them to wear as an eye mask regularly.

YES! I love it.

Honestly, I don't notice much of a difference between it and my cheap-o NYX concealer, but I'm not a huge user of concealers anyway so maybe that makes a difference. 

[veruca5839]

Yeah, I just saw the Sephora redesign this morning and am not a fan. At all. I couldn't navigate to a specific brand. And clicking on many areas that I assumed were supposed to be links did nothing. Hopefully they fix all the glitches soon....

It's pretty great. Some tips if you get it, less is more and it sets super fast. Also I noticed it looks better if I don't set it with a powder. I use a beauty blender to blend it in.
