persa maybe it's the lanolin.

Possibly. I've never had lanolin reactions in the past though. TBD. I'm trying to heal it now and then introduce suspected culprits. Like my lips were irritated by the Agave lip mask but they didn't get that puffy until I introduced the YSL glossy stain.

Apparently I don't know how to clean a beauty blender without tearing it.

*sigh*

Oh no.

I've been using the Real Techniques one and they seem to hold up better than BB.

I still can't get them to last for more than a month though. The current one I'm using, I've been washing it everyday with gentle shampoo and it hasn't shed yet and this week is the fourth week so maybe there's hope? Before, I'd just rinse it with water and wash every 3 days.

It's only been two nights but the Laneige lip sleeping mask seems pretty amazing so far. I think my lip dermatitis is almost healed

I bought about 4 RT ones when I did my 2000pts Ulta haul in Dec. It's much easier to get my Dr Jart cream out of those v. the beauty blender. It's almost like the Dr Jart is friggin cement on a beauty blender. I'm not going to buy any more beauty blenders after these last 2 are gone (aka when I tear them to shreds after the 4th wash).

I miss the sponges I used to buy from TJMaxx. They were cheap, held up well and gave a nice finish for makeup.

I'm not sure the Becca Primer is doing anything for me

Back light. I picked it up on Sunday.

Ulta Bare minerals beauty break today looks really good.

Also ColourPop has free shipping through Friday.

How is bare minerals eyeshadow? Just saw the bare sensual palette and swooned... so pretty...

Any word yet on the dates for the Sephora Spring sale?

I haven't seen anything yet. Reddit speculation is that it won't be until June. Don't they know how much I dislike change.

Oof. I seem to recall last year we didn't hear a peep about it until 2 weeks before. Or maybe that was just me?

Either way, thanks for ensuring that I spend even less money at your store, Sephora!

I remember you being right too. Sephora likes to keep a lid on promotions as long as possible. And m(now my speculation) maybe they want to be less predictable? They got Rid of the sale on sale last year post Christmas. And last year they made the April sale more limited as I recall (vib and rouge only? I don't remember specifics).

I'm kind of bummed. I was supposed to do a focus group for Dermalogica tonight, but I got stuck in traffic on the way and didn't get there in time. They were going to give me $250 in product. :-(

[calico]

I was just about to come on here and brag that I have used the majority of my previously ridiculous sheet mask/AB body care stash and that I only have 2 shoeboxes full now.


Then I opened the linen closet and saw the 50-some masks that I stashed in there b/c I ran out of room in my bathroom cabinet.

Fail.

[persa]

I think I figured out the trick to the Becca Primer is to leave it on for a bit before I do my foundation

If it's the Ready formula they're amazing.  I have 4-5 palettes from them and they're all a dream to apply and blend.
