AUGUST Randoms

[wineandcheese]

I ordered a few things from Elf last night that I've wanted to try but can never find in the store around me. I hope they are as good as the reviews on YouTube say.

hamster my first and last time ordering from Sephora took 2 weeks from the day I placed the order to the day I received it.

How long do your Sephora orders take to ship? I ordered Tuesday am and it still hasn't even gone out yet. At this rate I'll be able to make it to a store before it even leaves the warehouse! I know three day shipping doesn't include processing time but this seems crazy long.

I must live near a warehouse because I've always received my orders within a day or two. But a lot of people on Sephora's message boards have been complaining about delayed orders and slow shipping recently, so something must be up.

I noticed last week that they had a warning on the shipping screen that orders where taking a few extra days to process. I'm guessing they got behind a bit from the extra points promo.

I have it in my cart at Ulta right now. Debating myself! 

I googled images from the pallet then bought it! It looks like so much fun.

I stopped at Ulta last night to see if they had the smoky pallet in stock. It was gone, of course. I wanted to avoid ordering online and having to spend $50 for free shipping. I don't really need anything since I just stocked up with the 2x's points and 20% off.
But, they have a 20 piece beauty bag with $60 purchase so I decided to spend that. But of course ended up spending closer to $80. Damn you, Ulta. I think this purchase gets me to platinum though.

I got my ulta order today! The Lottie London Rusts palette looks awesome! I'm 95% sure I want naked heat with the next 20% off coupon, but this should hold me over until then.

Also, NARS orgasm blush, a mini nail polish set (in colors I genuinely don't have), and IT CC cream!

Sooo...I'm doing a mermaid themed 5k at the end of September. I may have gotten this hat for post race. Seriously thinking about getting Kat Von D's dreamer lipstick for the after party as well. Turquoise lipstick might be a hard look to pull off. 😂

Lottie London Rusts is a WIN! For $13, the fall out isn't bad (similar to my other drug-store palettes, namely CG TruNaked Roses), and the color payoff is great. Also, I wore it all day yesterday (on top of Milani primer) with zero creasing, and I thought color was still awesome when I took it off after 12+ hours of wear.

Excellent Naked Heat Dupe!

As I was packing my makeup bag for vacation, I was really disgusted at how much lipstick/gloss/color I have that I don't use.

Guess what I fucking forgot to pack in my makeup bag.....

I took this pic of my custom palette for y'all, all Mac and ABH. Need to go through and look at the colors to know what they all are.

I'm really interested in the new Kandee collection even though I really don't need any of it.

Me too! I drooled over the video she posted. Out of everything, her eyeliner and the unicorn lip stuff are the two that seem to tickle my curiousity the most.

I rediscovered an old Smashbox eyeshadow palette and realized how much I had loved it.

i just realized my august ipsy bag never came and now i'm in a back and forth with their customer service about it. i'm bummed because it looked like good stuff! a sheet mask set and some pacificia blushes and a new blending brush.

Anyone use Besame cosmetics? A LONG time ago they had lots more products and I found a single eyeshadow and a palette with eye and face products at my parents house. I honestly don't know how old it is. At least 10 years, maybe? I swatched the products and they are still so lovely. I wish they would make eyeshadow again. The quality was amazing. And the packaging is too die for. They are in vintage looking metal tins and there is no way I'll ever throw them away.

emilynoel always raves about their lipsticks. I had some face powders and lipsticks on my christmas list last year, but DH didn't purchase them for me.

I have some of their lipsticks and their formula is great. They are releasing a huge Snow White collection soon that includes eyeshadow. The packaging is gorgeous.
