ESF, I got a tracking number overnight, my palette is supposed to arrive Friday...as in tomorrow. I’m so confused.

That's insane! I still don't have mine but this gives me hope!

Thanks everyone. I threw a MAC one in my ulta order to try.

I ended up scraping off some of the top of the tarte one and it's working better in the interim.

I am not getting my hopes up because something just doesn't seem right with the tracking information. Like it left NJ at 1:53 am this morning, so unless it was shipped overnight, it is not arriving tomorrow. However, I am ready to be surprised and delighted.

My apartment complex texted me to let me know I had a package to pick up. I was not expecting one, so I got excited that it was my Pat McGrath order. Nope, just my Amazon auto-ship of my dogs' dental treats. Boo.

Also let me vent about Bite. On Monday night, I ordered four lip products that were on sale. I have now received three separate notifications, each one to tell me about a different one that was sold out. So no idea if I'll get that last one and my two free samples. I would have bought other products had I have known!!!!

ESF, I actually received the palette and it is gorgeous and like buttah. Have you received a tracking number?

Lucky you!!!!!!


Still no tracking number. I'm glad to hear it's worth the wait, but I'm going to be super pissed if I don't have for next weekend.

As you know, I own a shit ton of makeup and have even since before the MU thread. But I have never owned anything like Pat McGrath eyeshadow. It’s unreal. I have 3 palettes, plus the quad I will be given for Xmas. Amazing.

Anyone know of a website that tracks nail polish dupes? I had my nails done in a DND polish called muted berry while I was out of town and I really love this color.

My Pat McGrath order arrived!!! I am very happy I will have it so I can do lovely holiday eye makeup to see the Nutcracker on Friday. The palette is gorgeous, and the lipstick formula is lovely. Super light weight and very pigmented. Also the packaging is so lux. Love.

I'm so jealous of all the love for Pat McGrath. I'm afraid to try it since I'm allergic to so many brands I hate to spend the money and then it won't work for me.

[NewOrleans]

omg Sephora’s rewards are so awful. I was just looking at them. You just absolutely cannot get anything good. The ones that are good they only have like 2 of. I hate Sephora. 😠

Y’all Ulta has gone off the rail. First they just cancelled an item because it was out of stock. Rather than let me select a different style of the item (cosmetic case) AND then the rest of my order arrived today. The box was empty... EMPTY. This on top of the really not good experiences I had at two different stores last month, I’m just flabbergasted.

I kid you not. I was livid.

New day, Ulta gave me back all my points and ignored the rest of my email.

Whatever, I have moved on to whether I should do a bold green eye look or a bronze eye for the party I am going to tonight. You know... the important stuff.

This is way more fun to think about. Bullshit that Ulta is handling it so badly, but glad you're thinking about fun stuff. What are you going to wear to the party tonight?

We're doing family pics tomorrow so I'm actually going to do full on makeup. Weeee! Gonna actually use a palette and everything.

I haven't bought a single makeup item in ages. I went to one of the better stores in London for all things, including makeup and bought a new foundation (Stila Hide & Chic), Laura Mercier hydrating primer and Clinique Power Lash Mascara. So happy for a few new things - next will be lipsticks.

[kittycatlove]

I got a sample of the Jouer foundation, OMG it wears so nice. It's bummer there isn't a color match for me. All the colors are really yellow, plus it oxidized a ton Good thing I didn't leave the house today.

I just ordered the Stila foundation.  I watch Hot and Flashy on YouTube and she highly recommends it.  I'm curious how you like it.

I had Ulta cancel my entire order with no explanation and then when I went to go and see if it was out of stock it wasn't.  They also cancelled a Buxom lip gloss from an order where I used 2000 pts saying it was out of stock.  It was not out of stock when I looked at it after I got the email.  

I've never had that happen before.  I never received an empty box though!

That's exactly why I bought it despite having very different skin from her. I think it might work well for me.

I'm looking forward to hearing what both of you think of it. I used to use Stila foundation and am still sad they discontinued it. Now my beloved Jouer tinted moisturizers have been discontinued and I'm still on the hunt for new complexion products.

That's good!  I'm still waiting for mine, but am hopeful I'll like it.  I think it's being delivered today.  My skin does not seem to be as oily as hers, but it's also not dry.
