I ordered a couple of Lipsense colors (Aussie Rose, Pomegranate) from my friend who sells them. I have to say I'm very impressed. I've tried a ton of "long-lasting" lipsticks and most of them flake or fade. This shit does not come off! Actually, it's kind of a PITA to take off. I don't know if I'm on the "only Lipsense for the rest of my LYYYYYFE!" train but I am pretty blown away with the staying power. And I have to admit it's nice not touching up my lip color all day, because I am lazy AF at doing that.

I am on the lipsense train right now, the only thing I don't like is that I am letting all my other lip stuff go to waste.

I have invisalign right now, and I love that I can still wear lipstick and not worry about it getting on my invislign.

Do you use the Neutrogena bar soap to get it off? It's WAY better than the Oops remover!

No, but I will try that. I have been using coconut oil, and not loving taking it off.

Thanks!

Oh yes, you need to get the bar! Just wet your lips, rub the bar on your lips, and wash until it comes off. It's so much easier and quicker!

I seem to be the only one in the world who has no trouble getting lipsense off at night. I just use my regular oil cleanser and rub a bit on my lips and don't have any other issues. Occasionally I'll have traces in my lip cracks but I try to exfoliate nightly and it gets the rest off.

I tried my oil cleanser and it barely did anything! I also tried some Pond's Cold Cream and it was equally ineffective.

I will say, I had a devil of a time figuring out how to get it to stay on me in the first place, so maybe my body chemistry doesn't work right with it and I am the oddball

Oh, that sucks. Isn't that like, THE selling point? LOL.

ESF - when is Ulta's big 10 x point day? I think it's been really close to my bday in past years. Don't want to spend all my make up monies this month.

I checked my emails. Last year it was August 22.

DoC colors are sort of hit and miss.

Noooooooooooo don't tell me that. It's going to be amazeballs because it's my bday.

I ordered three liquid lipsticks last week when they had their sale and I'm returning all of them. I find Jouer to be much more long lasting and comfortable.

Lustrelux let me down? 😢

I think she's paid by them.

After weeks of waffling, on Sunday, I pulled the trigger on some new perfume. I narrowed it down to two Jo Malone scents - Mimosa Cardamom or Nectarine Blossom Honey. Finally decided on the Nectarine Honey. My package arrived today with Nectarine Honey. Except when I opened the box, inside it was Mimosa Cardamom. So apparently the universe has spoken.

I still want Nectarine Honey, but this smells so damn good that I'm not going to be able to bring it back.

I have the English Pear and Freesia. I love it.

I have the Nectarine Blossom and Honey and the English Pear and Freesia.  Those 2 are my favorites!  I do 1 spray of both to mix and it is heavenly.

i just got my ulta order from this weekend and i am super impressed with the sample bag. it said it had 24 items and 9 of them are easily items that would be 100 point perks at sephora with the rest being foils and perfume. all for free when spending 60 bucks, which, when you are spending 50 to get to the free shipping it's barely anything to get up to 60. I just got an extra micellar water and pack of wipes to take me over. stuff i will use anyway, so might as well get a nice set of samples and 3x points while i'm at it. AND i didn't get porefessional as a sample for the first time ever! i got living proof perfect hair day shampoo/conditioner foils and an IT cosmetics BB cream. not bad!!!

You guys. I just got home and there was a small box in the mail today- something from Ulta.

They sent me the Tarte Pro-Glow Highlight and Contour Palette. Just for fun, as in I didn't even order it. It contained a card that said "Surprise! Thanks for being Platinum." WHAT? I know back when Buxom launched a few people got lip products randomly sent to them, but holy cow.

Anyone else get lucky???

I got a gift too, but not as nice as yours! Lucky you!

That's awesome! I already made platinum through 2018, fingers crossed for a random gift.

I tried Becca shimmering light primer. It made me look so oily. I have dry skin. anyone else have this issue? I need a great primer and am having a hard time. This year alone I have tried 6 different ones.

I use Monistat anti-chafe powder gel as a primer.  It's great for me because it is cheap and I use a retinoid and can get flaky and it smooths things out.  I use It Cosmetics BB(or CC, I can't remember) and finish with It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better powder on top.  It seems to last all day.  At the end of the day I do feel a little oily, but I don't think it has anything to do with the primer.

Did you let it sit for a minute before you applied your foundation? I got shiny with the Backlight primer at first and then realized I needed to let it sit for a sec and get "tacky" before I put on my foundation.

I went to Ulta to get my brows done. Apparently they don't do brow tinting yet (newer location), but she told me I could buy the tinting on Amazon and do it myself. $16 and now I don't need to pay someone to do the tinting ever again!

Oh - and it's cool Ulta is sending some of you stuff. I'm jealous! I've been platinum for years, hitting in Q1 every year, and I have never gotten anything from them.

boo

And that kind of stuff lasts for AGES.  I do it myself as well.

Today is the Nordstrom mascara sale! Buy 2, Get 1 Free. I've heard good things about the Trish McAvoy mascara so I'm trying a couple of those and the Chanel volume.

Chanel volume de Chanel is my favorite! That's what I always get in this sale.

No I didn't. Thanks for the tip! I'll try that tomorrow.

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but Ulta is clearing out the Fiona Stiles range at 75% off. I walked out with three foundations for $7.50 each.

[peachykate]

The cosmetics company outlet is 1/2 off through tomorrow, with the exception of Tom Ford. I grabbed all of this for under $50. I'm going back tomorrow for some more lipsticks, at $6 each I don't know why I didn't get more.

Ok, I must have deleted the picture but I got
Estee edit bronzer and blush
MAC lipstick in relentlessly red
Clinique skinny stick
MAC quad in cool neutrals (can't remember the name)

Rumor is they are making room for Too Faced and Becca.

First impression of my dose of color - it has stayed a little tacky, super pigmented, has a nice smell that faded quick. About to eat dinner, let's see if it makes it through.
