I bought the Too Faced Totally Cute Eyeshadow Palette at rack yesterday for just under $15 because I like the 2 shimmery neutrals and wanted some new makeup. I was playing with it last night and I actually really like it! I thought I would never use the pink, but it's sort of sheer and looks awesome with the matte brown and the green makes my hazel eyes look super green. I'm pretty happy with it!

I only recently discovered makeup/skincare at Rack and am so impressed! I've also been able to try some things I normally wouldn't get.

i got my target box today - i think it was a really good deal! looking forward to trying out a few things including the missha essence. how do you all usually apply essence? it said to use a cotton ball but i feel like it would waste a lot of product soaking in a cotton ball.

I just got an Ulta email for 3X points (platinum perk). It's my birthday month, and I know that birthday points can be combined with bonus point perks. Does that mean I get 5X points on anything I buy during the 3X point perk time?

I think you get like 4X points. I had 2x birthday points and 5x bonus points and I didn't get 7x, more like 6?

I always just put it in the palm of my hand, rub hands together and pat on face.

Looking for another recommendation - for an oil cleanser from Ulta. I'm trying this 2 step cleansing business

The new NYX faux white and black eyeliners are awesome. I bought one of each when they were BOGO, and double cleansing doesn't even get it all off. If they put out some brights I will be a happy camper.

I've been using the Julep cleansing oil for around 3 months, and I love everything about it.

Except the price. I may not repurchase because I'd like to find something cheaper.

I use it just like mrsukyankee. I pour a bit in the palm of my hand, rub my hands together briefly, then pat it all over my face.

Anyone tried the Pixie duo cleanse set yet? I was at Target and really considered it, but couldn't justify it.

My friends who tried it said one of the cleansers gets used up before the other and they found it irritating that they aren't sold separately.

[sotally tober]

kategm, I'm totally going to try that stuff! It definitely looks brighter under your eyes. Thanks!

I'm actually going somewhere for spring break next week so of course I needed some new travel makeup. I picked up the UD One & Done because I need something quick and none of my current foundations have spf and I like to double up when I'm outside more. I also grabbed a Maybelline Dream Lumi pen for an easy to use concealer. I still need to pick up a makeup bag, all my current ones are way to small.

Definitely molting. It's amazinggrossamazing!

That feeling when you buy a bunch of shit at Sephora, and the NEXT DAY, they send you a 10% discount.

I finally found shape tape in stock. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, though.

[peachykate]

I went ahead and ordered shape tape this weekend and it should be here tomorrow, I'm pretty stoked to try it out.

I picked up a few drugstore foundations recently between the Kmart by me that went out of business and Amazon because I am just not in love with UD Naked Skin. My favorite so far has been the LA Girl pro illuminating foundation and WnW's photo focus is a close second. The only one that didn't work out at all was Covergirl's new BB cream for oily skin because the lightest shade was too dark/orange although I have read good things about it.

I've been on a eye shadow singles kick trying to cut down on buying palettes, and Makeup Geek is now selling damaged singles. I've purchased three now, none of them have a single dent or scratch to them, and for $3 you really can't beat the price.

[namasteak]

ARGH! I went into a bigger Sephora and they still didn't know which foundations were "cone" free. I got the MUFA water blend foundation and so far really like it. The redeemed themselves by GIVING me a Kevin Aucoin highlight/contour duo so pretty excited to try that!

Also grabbed the Too Faced hangover primer which I only grabbed because I haven't seen a "cone" free primer before.

Or they offer a bunch of good 100 PT rewards. Finally.

Btw, when did they raise their minimum shipping? $50 is a lot. It's what annoys me most about ulta.

[centralsquare]

Also, the more I wear NARS sheer glow, the more I love it. So happy with it.

It's basically a chemical peel for your feet.

I finally cancelled my PLAY subscription today. Saw some spoilers for the March box and wasn't impressed so it'll be the last one for me, after several months of disappointment. Of course that means that April's box will probably be amazing, LOL.

Ugh,  just saw the spoilers too. I already own most of the products. WTF.

I keep telling myself "Maybe next month's box will be amazing so don't cancel it yet!"

That damn Sephora site redesign. I have an Ebates card, a product I want, a code, and a reward I want, and cannot fucking place an order.

I haven't bought anything from Sephora in like 6 weeks. I AM DYING HERE.

ESF, which browser do you use? That damn Sephora site won't work on Explorer (or Edge, whatever its called now) but it works for me on Chrome. Still clunky as fuck and it freezes a bit though.

I hate the new website with passion.
