I have 2000 Ulta points and nothing I really want. Such a situation.

[calico]

I've been using the small size of the Hourglass Caution mascara for a few weeks, and I'm not understanding the hype.

I have 3500 and am in the same boat. I meant to ask last time I was there if I can use points for gift cards.

My friend felt the same way, but on me it's fabulous. It's funny how differently these mascaras work on all of us.

What’s your favorite setting powder brush? Mine is on its last leg and the company went out of business years ago.

I like Too Faced Just Peachy setting powder.

I'm also not a fan.  I've been using it a few weeks and it's tricky to apply without clumps.  It doesn't smudge or flake and I do like that, but I feel like it's a lot of work to apply.

I also keep dropping the effing tube. I don't know if it's the shape or if it's because it's a good bit smaller than other travel size tubes or what. I'm about to just chuck in the trash.

I just got a 20% off from ulta, I have no idea what to buy. Like others I'm kind of ehh on anything new, and don't need any replenishments at the moment.

right, it's a bit odd, but I just restocked most of my skincare items, I haven't used up anything makeup wise that I didn't already ahve a backup for, and nothing is really demanding that I buy it.  Nothing at ulta anyway.  I do actually really want some of those new bite lip stains.  

So here i sit, on my 2000 points and my coupon.  buying nothing.  Like a responsible adult.

Same boat...what's wrong with us? I am thinking about upgrading my hairdryer. Exciting stuff.

It’s a HG for me and I’m a mascara junkie. It’s hands down my most favorite mascara ever.

[NewOrleans]

I’m just not feeling anything! I haven’t been excited about a product, nothing.
Also, Glow Recipe will no longer be selling Asian beauty, either. Is that whole industry collapsing or what? I’ve enjoyed so many products but wtf?

Same, though I'm taking a break from it because something irritated my eyes. I'm pretty sure it was something else, so I'll be getting a new tube soon.

I am starting to clean out my house in anticipation for our move in September. My god, I have so many samples and minis that it’s embarrassing. I am now on a mission to actually use some of these things.

[mrsukyankee]

Usually by this time in the day, my skin is feeling dry/flaky. I forgot to put on my SPF today and my skin feels so moist. Now I know I have to find a new facial SPF because it's clearly THAT which is drying out my face. So weird as it's gotten such good reviews by people with supposedly dry skin. It's A'pieu Power Block cream. Any suggestions for SPF 50 that is good with dry skin and possibly makeup?

[hoteldweller]

Have you tried the Rohto Skin Aqua yet? It’s alcohol and fragrance free. I look forward to putting it on every day.

The new packaging for 2019 is blue, though they haven’t changed the formula from the previous yellow bottle.

I use this or canmake mermaid uv every day. Both are great and alcohol free.

Not quite spf 50 but I’ve been using the Peter Thomas Roth naked sunscreen (spf 40 and has a slight slight tint) and it is great under makeup for me. I have very dry skin.

I dressed up for a fancy shindig this weekend and it was a nice reminder of why I love my makeup collection. I may not have used a lot of it in awhile, but it's there when I need it!

[robinsbff]

i got my hair done at ulta today and am now over 2000 points again - woooo! and i got some great deals combining some buy 2 get the 3rd free specials and my 20% coupon on some basics - make-up remover wipes, sunscreen and shampoo/conditioner. not a bad day.

I kinda miss the EOTD or MOTD threads that we used to have. They forced me to be creative.

Josie Maran SPF 47 argan moisturizer is my favorite. 

I've also had good luck with Coola, but I've only tried the SPF 30. Their website says they have an SPF 50.

I could get into this again. I am moving later this year and will have to weed out my collection again, so I need motivation to use older stuff to see if I still like it.

[bookchick]

I have the Tarte lash, camera, lashes mascara, and it is leaving clumps all over the place. Honestly, I like the cheap Covergirl Clump Crusher in the lime green tube. It is the best at separating lashes.

I am loving this new body oil mist by JR Watkins, it smells like lemon meringue pie, and you spray it on after the shower. I found it at TJ Maxx for $5. Smells amazing!

Tried the Mad Hippie Antioxidant Face Oil, and I love it. I use it every few days, or on the weekends when I am feeling like I need the extra oomph.

[NewOrleans]

5x points AND 20% off at Ulta email this morning.
What to do, what to do...

I enjoyed these too, but weren't there issues with someone with an AE (or an unknown poster) posting negative stuff about people's pictures?

Was there? I have no idea. I don't remember that. I remember that people just slowly started dwindling off.
