I think this is actually a picture from last year's spring tends, but I don't care because it's preeeetty.

Ulta has a pile of really nice brand GWP's right now if you've somehow still got things on your list after the sales.

That pic is really pretty.

So, I decided to try out my eye mask that I bought in Hong Kong tonight.  It's the Dr. Morita Bee Venom Ceramide Repair Essence Eye Mask.

LOL.

I had to do the face...




It has Apitoxin, or bee venom, which is meant to tighten the skin, Royal jelly, Ceramide & Hyaluronic Acid for moisturising, and Soluble Collagen which is good for fine lines.  It's meant to minimise dark circles and wrinkles and smooth eye puffiness.  It certainly had a tingling & cooling sensation on my skin.  I think it lightly minimised the small wrinkles and a bit of the puffiness but that's about it after one use.  It did leave behind a lot of the serum in the container so I'll use that tomorrow as well.

Does anybody just LOVE vise art? I got the petit pro from Ulta and it is just ok. The lightest shimmer and chunky glitter and I just wanted to love it. I've only used it once, but the fallout was bad. Ugh.

I have the petit pro and I feel the same way about it. It's just ok. I decided to keep the palette but at the price point for their other shadows I doubt I'll try anything else.

I also have the Petit Pro and one of the small 6 pan theory palettes.  The Theory palette is heaven on earth.  Petit pro is fine, but definitely not as amazeballs as I had expected.  That said, Petit Pro is a great travel palette, since it's tiny, good packaging, and has a workable selection of colors for a variety of occasions.

Based on how good the Theory palette is, I'd still buy Viseart in the future.

Hold up. ulta has Viseart now?

Talk me down, or enable:

Do I need the Sephora Favorites sunkissed glow? It's new, I often like the summer sets. Some reason the $45 price has me questioning it more than normal.

I apparently don't know how to add an image, sorry all www.sephora.com/sunkissed-glow-P419102?skuId=1923218&icid2=products%20grid:p419102

Ooo I'd grab it if I didn't already have a few of the items in it. I got last years set and I loved it. I like that it comes in a useable bag this year instead of a box too.

Oh that looks like a nice one. If I didn't have a couple of those products already I might pull the trigger too. 

[secretlyevil]

The NYX metals six-shade palette is awesome for quick single color eye looks. Also, IT's #119 all over eye brush is the best for a single shadow look. I may have been doing this for the last week or so...

Same! Very similar to a set from two years ago with stuff in it that I use all the time.

Definitely get it!

I do. I have most of the full size palettes. I haven't tried the smaller ones. I'm guessing quality went down when they tried a more affordable price point.

ETA: Those questioning - it's not sold at Ulta.

I have a beauty related sad.... I think I might be allergic to YSL lipstains/glosses. I tried on a beautiful color at Sephora just a few minutes ago and my lips are already tingling

I thought it was my Bite Agave lip mask that was causing my numb lips but I think it's the YSL colors I have. Boo-hoo!

So how many are too many of the products? I have the too face bronzer, the becca, the LM radiance. I have a small UD half baked.

The Marc Jacobs liner looks very nice.

For me, I have the TF bronzer and don't use it, the becca opal, the half-baked (the bronze set from 2014 that I have had a half/half duo of this and another UD shade, plus I think it's in a couple palettes I have) and the lip gloss. I wouldn't use the tanner.  

Most people love the Marc Jacobs liners. I have tried them. They start off awesome. But the ones I've had have dried out.  Not a problem for a liner that you intend to use regularly, but I wouldn't count on it being useable after about 6-8 months.

I agree with ESF on the Marc Jacobs liner, they are nice but do dry out.

I guess it depends on how much you want backups of the products. 

I mean it may be a value to get the liner, the Nars lip gloss and the hourglass at that price and then having extras of everything else is just a bonus.

I also have the TF bronzer and Becca Opal. I have tried and returned the HG bronzer because it was too sparky/shimmery for me. I also wouldn't use the tanner. I do want the UD Half Baked shadow and the NARS lipgloss though. The Marc Jacobs mini liner from the bday gift last year is really nice so I wouldn't mind a full sized one too. I might grab this anyway if it sticks around long enough to go on sale.

I had a similar issue with the tint in oil. Glossy stain has been fine for me.

[mfluder]

kittycatlove ESF @pippin yeah so that's about where I'm at. I want HG bronzer and marc jacobs. I wouldn't by the lip gloss on my own, but it seems fine. The mini's are nice.

And I mean, the hoarder in me wants backups, but my collection certainly needs no backups.

That said I got my ebates in Sephora GC, so its certainly leaning toward buying, logic be damned apparently lol.

[kittycatlove]

Today's the day for the create your own bag for Tarte. I've done it the past two years and have gotten some great items. Seems like the price may have gone up from last year, but still probably worth it.

The Glossy stains are what I have and the creme stain is what I tried yesterday

I am so impressed with The Ordinary so far.

I'm honestly thinking about getting rid of every skin product I have and stick to using First Aid Beauty and The Ordinary. I think I found my HG skin stuff. FINALLY.

The check out lady at the grocery store told me my make-up was on point. Totally made my day!

Mine is on a bunch of skin care, including Philosophy. I plan to place an order to stock up on shower gel and may try one of the Origins scrubs.

They don't carry the good Origins scrub in the jar online. Not sure about in store. SAD.
