calico , have you tried UD Naked? Are they on your boycott list? Or have you tried a color corrector first and then a concealer?

I use the UD in both peach and lavender and then the concealer on top. It does a pretty good job for me.

UD is a Loreal brand, so unfortunately they are on my boycott list too. I've used correctors before, but I get better results without it. Might be an error in technique?

In very important cleaning stick news, my chamomile stick shipped from Amazon last night.  And I noticed the stick is no longer on Sephora's website. As of last week, it was there and listed as out of stock, but when I checked this morning, there is no page for it. I really hope Belif did not discontinue it, and what is now on Amazon is the last of the supply.

It's also gone from Amazon. I searched for it a few minutes ago and got zero results.

I'm really hoping what I get is not some counterfeit stick. 

Fortunately the stick is still on Belif's website, so hopefully this means it will come back some day.

Well I guess that makes my decision for me on the sun kit. Just as well, as my Sephora and Ulta carts are quite full. I've made room for Soft Glam.

Also look at this lip set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting this.

www.sephora.com/product/give-me-some-new-lip-kit-P426843

it's in my cart too!  i had a crazy day at work, so i'm just getting to compare my ulta list with my sephora list.  will probably hold off on the ulta purchase until a good beauty break pops up though....

I'm having decision strife. My tube of shape tape (used exclusively for my under eyes) is around a year and a half old. I use it every day that I wear makeup to cover my dark circles. It needs replaced because the texture is changing and the product is drying out. The problem is that I'm boycotting Tarte and I haven't yet found a comparable concealer for my ridiculous dark circles that covers them as well as the shape tape does. Actually that's a lie- the IT cosmetics BBUE covers them well, but they are also owned by a brand I'm boycotting. Ugh.

Why can't companies not be assholes?

I layer Becca undereye corrector then Benefit Bo-ing (the new Erase Paste). I have 2 different concealer brushes - 3 actually. 2 for applying and 1 for blending.

Mine arrived today. Seems legit.

Does anyone know if Ulta is dropping Cosrx? Most of the stuff it out of stock online and in store. I got the 20% off coupon too and wanted to stock up in snail goo and face cleanser.

[robinsbff]

calico - have you tried colourpop's concealers? colourpop.com/products/no-filter-concealer

or i just saw a video where emilynicole compared the makeup revolution ones to shape tape - www.ulta.com/conceal-define-full-coverage-conceal-contour?productId=xlsImpprod17681057

All correctors aren't made equal though. So far I've used liquid ones and didn't like them and for cream ones I used the Becca one, Cover FX one and skin food one and now I just ordered the Bobbi brown cream one that I remember really liking. BB has 25% and FS through tonight so I figured it was time to take the plunge. (I also ordered her shimmery green gel eyeliner pot

Yes, the color I need is always OOS, but I got one shade lighter to try and the coverage isn't the same. I'm going to order the MR one, since they seem to have the color I need, but a few reviews say that the coverage is less than Shapetape. I feel like I'm going to have the same issue as the colourpop.

[secretlyevil]

One - went to an Ulta out of town when I was on a work trip, the manager and a couple of people at the checkout counters really, really needed to get some makeup tips - no blending at all. I was a little embarrassed on their behalf. Also felt like a Judgy McJudgerson.

Two - yesterday I saw a woman in her (guessing) 80s sporting purple blush and eyeshadow and a crazy outfit (feathers in her hair). I want to be her when I’m that age.

Three - recommendations for a blush palette? The cream one I have is old and I’m getting germaphobe vibes when I look at it.

I wore mascara today to school for the first time in a long time, and one of my kindergarten students told me he liked my eyelashes.

[robinsbff]

my sephora order arrived! the lip kit ( www.sephora.com/product/give-me-some-new-lip-kit-P426843 ) is an amazing deal. 28 bucks, two full size products, the marc jacobs one sells for 26 on it's own. can post swatches if anyone wants to see. can't wait to try the new masks. so excited!

[peachy]

I got a 20% everything Ulta coupon...I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Soft Glam palette.

[majesty318]

I ordered two things in the Sephora sale and after reading above that robinsbff already got her order, I checked my status since I never even got shipping confirmation. It was cancelled due to "unsuccessful authorization" and now both items I ordered are OOS. WHAT THE F SEPHORA? This is like the 3rd or 4th time this unsuccessful authorization crap happened but I always use the same card - nothing is ever changed in my account. This is so frustrating!

Have any VIBs already gotten their Sephora discount code? I don't see any emails from them about it yet.

I got a postcard in the mail with the codes at the end of last week. I’m VIB. I think I only get the email about it like the day of or the day before. It’s the same code for everyone.

I'll have to double check that it didn't slide under something when the mailman put it through my mail slot then. I thought it was weird that I hadn't seen it yet.

How much do you want to spend? The Nars Wanted palettes get great reviews.

[Pippin]

Interesting MUG is now being sold at Target. I hope they bring in all the single shadows at some point.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

ESF I’m not sure if you’re still looking for a gloss, but you should check out some of the Huda beauty lip toppers. I bought one that was so cool and iridescent and I love it. I also have the fenty gloss and I like it just for the glossy effect but I don’t know if it’s what you’re looking for. I don’t reach for it very much.

I was actually looking at that one. It may be the winner.

There was a Huda Lip Strobe in the Sephora lip kit and it is PERFECT. The color is Snobby and it is a super sparkly, metallic pink shift gloss. Love it.

Oh and in cleaning stick news.

My Belif chamomile stick arrived. I pulled the box out of the envelope thinking it was much smaller than the stick. Yeah that was because the fuckers slapped a cleaning stick UPC sticker on a box of Belif Hungarian Water Essence.

So I have no stick and now have to return this thing.

Fucking hell.

So I'm 4 points away from 1000 at Ulta, and just got a 20% off coupon (only good until Saturday). I don't think I'll ever hit 2000 without points expiring, so I need to go buy something cheap, get my 1000 pts, and then figure out what I want with my $50...

[majesty318]

Got my Sephora play box yesterday and for the first time, I hated everything. Some people were supposedly going to get the new UD gloss, which I was hoping for. Instead, a teeny tiny Buxom gloss in a color that will make me look dead. And two anti-wrinkle products that I will never use.

Also got my Ulta 20% coupon today and now planning to go buy the stuff there that Sephora cancelled on me last weekend.
