I’m still on the hunt for the perfect lip balm/gloss. Most feel too heavy to me and feel like they are weighing down my lips and face. I LOVE the texture of the Dior Lip Glow and have purchased two so far, but they both turn hot pink on me (which I hate). This seems to happen with nearly every lip gloss I try. I have very pigmented lips. Any recs for something similar to the Lip Glow but in a more neutral, medium nude color (I have light/medium olive skin) that won’t turn hot pink?

You might like the Laneige lip mask. The original has a very slight tint on the lips but not really noticeable. It’s very hydrating and I use it during the day no problem. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost gloss is really nice too. They’ve expanded their shades a bit and have a few nude options. Also have you tried the Lilac version of the Dior Lip Glow? I find that one to be much more toned down compared to the pink.

Thank you! I have the Lilac and Pink. Maybe I’ll try the lilac again - I put it in a drawer because it seemed bright on me. I may try the coral - that seems to be the least pink.

Lip Glow has several other shades now, check them out!

Thanks! Yes, I may give coral a try. If it turns pink then I’m up to over $100 in lip gloss that I don’t use ugh. 😐

Looking at my makeup empties list in my bujo, it looks like I’m going to run out of DE eye cream around mid Oct.So for the sale, I’m getting another one to hold me over and I’ll probably buy 2 at the Nov sale.

Anyone try the Milk kush mascara? I need another mascara and this looked interesting.

Anyone hear anything about this Moon beauty brand of products? I’m curious about their stuff too, but not seeing much on YT.

[tiramisu]

I already ordered the Bite Virgo lipstick because I didn't want to risk it selling out before the sale. If I love it, I might buy a backup.

[nsl]

Any recs for an eye primer? My beloved Lorac primer is out of stock at Ulta (Sephora no longer carries the brand) and my current tube is almost out. My lids are moderately oily.

[Pippin]

Here’s my cart so far. Since I should get 20% off in Nov I’m waiting on bigger palettes and foundation. I might drop the Lancôme mascara for now and get something else. I’m excited about everything else though. Just hoping nothing sells out before the VIB code starts.

I also use Smashbox and it's the best I've found. I never have creasing issues. 

[robinsbff]

This is what I ended up ordering...







Almost nothing like my list above. Lol. Some things I waited on hoping that ulta will do 20% off soon (and I have 2,000+ points to use there) and others were out of stock already. I was going to pick up Naked 1 but it was out of stock by the time I ordered. I checked in store too but it was gone there as well. Booooooooo.

[beetea]

I went to Sephora last night and picked up 2 of my beloved DE Protini, a DE Lala Retro, Moroccan Oil dry shampoo, La Neige Lip Sleeping Mast, UD Naked Foundation (my first time trying this!), and a new Beauty Blender.

[kirra]

Fresh body scrub, oil, lotion, and body wash. A couple of different scents for the body wash and lotion.

[calico]

robinsbff, I have that bubble mask in my cart too!

[mortomo]

Why oh why did I get myself hooked on Drunk Elephant products! They are so pricey. I only have 2 DE products in my cart ready to go and it's $214 (before 15% discount). At least with my PTR products I could find good discounts.

[peachykate]

I finally decided to try drunk elephant, I ordered two of the sample kits. I also ordered a bite French press lip gloss and I might grab a Bite Multistick when I run to the mall.

I'm late to the party on the multisticks but I just got a sample and am intrigued, plus shimmers are looking like crap on my eyes.

i went back and forth about it a few times, but when i found a gift card i forgot about i threw it in, figuring it was a bonus 'freebie'.  saving it for a fun spa night!  FYI that in store they are buy three get one free, if i had known that i would have picked up two more to get the extra one!

I got the Kush mascara in a Sephora play box. on me, it's fine but nothing amazing. I mostly need volume and among my faves are BTS, MUFE, and Roller Lash, if that helps you at all.

I was gifted the small tube of this. It’s was meh on me and flaked a few hours in. My new favorite mascara is the hourglass caution.

[jordancatalano4ever]

The only thing I am looking at right now is he ABH Dipbrow. I recently tried a sample and I’m friggin impressed. It lasted all day (and makeup rarely does even with primers+setting sprays). However I know NYX and E.L.F. make dupes so I’m hesitant to go for the Dipbrow without trying the drugstore versions. Anyone try both the dupe and real deal? Thoughts.

[mortomo]

I never got an email or anything in the mail for this sale. I tried the code and it worked, but I wonder why I didn't get anything.

[calico]

I placed my online order today and only bought a backup of my eye cream and the bubble mask. I picked up the nest 100 pt perk and and hoping I actually get the samples I chose.

I’m waiting on mascara until Nov. I found a new tube in my train case while I was trying to organize my lipsticks for the Sept challenge.

[bowies]

Got the Hourglass powder and Bite lip gloss. I’m already building my list for November lol.

[centralsquare]

Do we know for sure Nov is happening for 20% off?

I can’t decide whether to get my refills now or wait.

[ESF]

I just noticed a bunch of Bite liquid lipsticks are in the sale section at $12 off. I have not used my online code yet. I was already planning on buying Arrowroot but I might have to pick up one more. Of to Temptalia I go.

centralsquare - I'm betting the sale happens in November and not refilling what I don't have to. It's not certain, but I feel like they aren't going to kill a holiday sale. I'd be more skeptical if this new promo were added in February and we were wondering about April.

[starlily]

I went in to my local store and was in & out in 15 minutes. A sales associate approached me, I showed her my online cart on the app, and she tracked down all but one item. While checking out, I showed the cashier my barcode in the app and it automatically took the 15% off.

I'm planning on using the online code for the one thing they didn't have in store, but might add more.

[mortomo]

Hopefully what I have in my cart doesn't sell out before I check out tomorrow. I want to wait until it's Sept since it's my birthday month and I would like to get the Bite lip products for my B-day gift.

I have gift cards, so that will make me not feel as guilty about my purchase.

I look forward to hearing how you like the Hourglass powder.


I was going to get MUFE eyeshadow singles + the case, but when I added the VIB discount it cancelled out the discount for buying the shadows and case together, so I placed one order just for those and then, with my discount I ordered more Laura Mercier powder, the Bobbi Brown crushed lip color I got and loved from an earlier sample set, and the Hourglass 1.5mm liner in black.

Probably too late, but I love the Nars one. I have oily lids and I tried many primers before sticking with Nars.

I asked about the November sale and it’s going to happen.

[mortomo]

I finally placed my order. I decided to get the 250 pts for my birthday gift. I'm into skincare more than make up right now, so my cart is mostly skincare.

The DE products are refills. Overall a pretty boring cart. I am looking forward to trying the Farmacy mask.

I have the Farmacy mask and I like it. I love how it feels. It’s warm and tingly, and I find it particularly helpful if I’m going through a bad skin flare up.

The packaging is also very thoughtful - it comes with a spatula to get it out, and the lid is magnetic so the spatula sticks to that and doesn’t get lost.

[ESF]

When did DE start charging $134 for the night serum?!?! I swear it was $100 or less last time I bought it.
