Back from Sephora...

Got Too faced primer, TF under eye line eraser, TF Lash Injection, and Benefit wrinkle smoother. So my husband was waiting outside in the mall and I come out and have to go to the rest room. I STUPIDLY leave the bag with him and when I get back he says...did you use the whole 50 on this little bag. I look and can see the slip was close to the top of the bag so I knew he looked. I said well I spent a little more...yeah like 59 more. BTW the birthday gift is the three lip gloss set. WOW it was cute but I have to wait to April. I got the Smashbox glow.

I was going to get the Too Faced Shdow Insurance kit with the shadow but the colors were not great. I forgot to look for the Smashbox kit.

OH sad news,
I do not know if I told you how NOrdstroms gives away tons of make up on their store opening. Well I had planned to take the day off and go early inthe morning when the one in my area opens. Well it opens on April 17....that is the day before my April Vacation starts and I cannot get the day off without a doctors NOTE. DAMMMM

I sometimes wonder what they do - or how they live, though - for real.

I spend a LOT of money on makeup - and I have no where near what they have, and I have a LOT. I just wonder how theyre doing it.

I have gone on MA a few times but are there videos? I have not seen them what am I missing.

Oh, I don't know. But you've been sounding a little under the weather to me. I can hear that cough in your posts. (cough cough ) If I were you, I'd wait a couple months and then rush right to the doctor.

I was in JCP again tonight, trying to get through the store to Payless shoes to buy a couple pairs of shoes for my daughters (BOGO half off sale this weekend) and I happened to walk by the beauty salon and saw a bottle of OPI: "Tickle My Francey" on the shelf with a little pink sticker on it, $3.99. So it's home with me now! It is butt ugly in the bottle but I remember it getting raves on Makeup Alley, saying that it's much prettier on your nails. Judge for yourselves...

I can't wait to try it!

I like it. I use the light colors in the summer or when I go away so I do not have to touch up otherwise I have just about every variation of RED.

I wish I could do the sickness routine but my boss is like the devil he would somehow find out. I would be on the news with my luck..not being interviewed but in the background.

I love lurking on this thread. I'm not that big into makeup, but with you guys raving about so much stuff-- I had to run to Sephora and drop some money!

Picked up that Too Faced Lash Injection stuff and some other goodies that I don't remember at the moment. I'm also going to have to get that nail polish Cathryn posted about much earlier, something about a jet?

But now I see I also have to pick up the Urban Decay Primer Potion. My paycheck is flying out the window as I type this!

Oh and I have a question for you lovely makeup queens. I have terrible bags under my eyes, and was wondering if you knew of any good under eye concealers. I look like a zombie most days, not too flattering!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

I like that color, Miss Park Avenue. It's light and pinky and something I would wear.

So I just spent $53 on Sephora.com. My closest Sephora is 20 minutes away, but I'm sick even though I had that "urge" to go buy makeup. Ulta is right down the street from me, but I'm still too lazy.

I bought Too Faced Lash Injection, Too Faced Shadow Insurance (I was convinced), Sephora brand retractable black eye liner, and a little pot of lip gloss. It has Alice in Wonderland on the lid. I spent more than $50, so shipping was free!

 

[bunkkinsmom]

OK LADIES! HERE'S THE SCOOP! My product list will be out on Tuesday. If you pm me with what you normally like from the following lines, I will check on it for you. I can normally get stuff for about 1/2 retail, and I will ship to you next day.

Thanks to all of you who gave me the advice on getting a makeover. I am off on Wednesday and Thursday this week, so I am gonna go give it a shot. Frankly, I'm a little nervous, since I never wear makeup, that I will look a bit "clownish". We shall see!

Ok, here's a list of brands that I can USUALLY get my hands on:

Bare Escentuals/Minerals
Smashbox (I get a lot of brushes from them, too)
Philosophy
Laura Geller
Dr. Denese
Borba
L'occitane
Proactiv

I usually run into about once a month:

100% Pure
Origins
Clinique
Tarte Health Couture
Bourjois
Diane Young


If anybody has a favorite in any of these, PM me and I will keep my eye out for them on Tuesday night.

Have a great day!

I have tried many and as yet I have not found a good one. I just bought a filler/lightner from TF I use a de puffer from Patricia Wexler and I use Amazing conceler from Amazing cosmetics (trust me it is not amazing I am just using it up b/c it cost 49.00). If you are trying to get rid of bags you shouldant use the PW anti puff (you can also use preparation H it shrinks the bags too)if you want to get rid of circles use a green or yellow toned conceler under a flesh colored conceler to neturalize the dark circles.

Hello Queens!

Anyone looking for info on NARS blushes? I have a link for you.

http://karlasugar.blogspot.com/search/label/NARS

Her arm in these pictures looks to be about my skin tone. I wish I had seen this before I started buying. I have "Sin" and of course "O" I love both of them. I use the organism more than the Sin, because the Sin is a deeper color but I love it too. Now that I read the link above, I'd love to add "Outlaw" and "Angelika" to my wish list.

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Just used the TF line filler and I must say it is very good. I have used others and they are just like silcone this one is creamy and fleshtoned. I used it under my conceler and it looks good. As far as theTF shadow primer I see no difference from the UD IMHO and you do not need to rent a chain saw to get it all out of the container. I think I will write a nasty letter to UD if I can find their address. I want to write to OPI b/c their fast finish top coat dries out too quickly in the bottle and I only gtet to use about half a bottle.

I did the Mac counter at the mall today! I am always afraid to let them see my bare skin! But I wanted to try a new foundation. I found one that looks really nice on my skin, its the Studio Sculpt foundation. She also tried the mineral base on me, but it just didn't give me the coverage that I needed. Then DD says she needs a new foundation too! So she ended up with the mineral one. Looks great on her skin!
I did get the foundation brush, but after getting 2 foundations, concealer, blush and lid primer, I just couldn't afford any thing else! lol
I would like to get some really nice brushes. Looking for a nice blush brush.
The Mac one is $32...not in the budget for now.
Anyone absolutely love their blush brush? Need to use it for contouring too.
Thanks!

I would love to try BM Mineral Veil if you happen to get any. Ive never tried it.

And if you get any Smashbox brushes....I'm totally interested!

HOW EXCITING!!

 

[bluesaturn]

Alright - everyone needs to RUN - not walk - to: www.beautycrunch.com

Why does this site have stuff so cheap? It looks like it's old collections, so I guess they get leftover limited edition stuff?

Do you know how much shipping is since I won't be spending enough for free shipping. And has anyone tried the stila smudge pots? Are they good?

 

[CathrynRose]

I agree - April is prime allergy season. Get your butt up early to Nordstroms and stop at the DR cuz your allergies are sooooo baaaaad, on the way home.

And I like that pink! It's a nice classy neutral!

. My paycheck is flying out the window as I type this!

Oh and I have a question for you lovely makeup queens. I have terrible bags under my eyes, and was wondering if you knew of any good under eye concealers. I look like a zombie most days, not too flattering!

I know - I actually cut myself off makeupalley for this very reason. Now Im combining my 2 favorite things.... makeup and Disney - this is costing me arms and legs!!

I dont know of any good under eye bag products.... I know quite a few girls asked about something.

I think it's discontinued stuff - SOme of the stuff I looked up on Makeupalley has RAVE reviews!!

And shipping was $7.95 UPS Ground before it got taken off with shipping discount....which is still a good deal, but just spend $50.

Lol we'll see. I've got so many things in my cart at various websites, I can't decide which ones to buy first. Any input on the smudge pots?

OK between bunkkinsmom's list (I'm dying to try out Smashbox foundation primer, but it's so expensive!) and now beautycrunch's sale, I'm so tempted. But I have made two HUGE purchases last week from Sephora and then Ulta the next day (went in for the lash injection layering kit, came out with that AND a stand mirror, Chanel #5 , and some other stuff). So I think I am going to live vicariously through you all.

Oh, I didn't mention that I went ahead a bought the Bourjois lipgloss. I got #4 "Rose Emblematic". It's sort of similar to my Buxom Babes "Trixie". It's pretty! OK, so now I have two lipglosses that I love, Buxom Babes and Bourjois 3D. Buxom has a more translucient color with slight plumping tingle where Bourjois has a stronger color with sparkles. I may have to go back for the Rose Idyllic.

So for those keeping score that brings my wishlist to 3
1. NARS: Outlaw
2. NARS: Angelika
3. Bourjois: Rose Idyllic

Now, nobody recommend anymore OK??? j/k!
