Ohhh! I have the mascara set. I've been working through it for more than a month already. So far I haven't really used onethat I didn't like, but I'm not that picky on mascaras. None of them have run on me - that's my usual problem with mascara.

I'm so excited to get this set. I have to wait til next paycheck so I sincerely hope it doesn't sell out. I'm collecting everyones favorite Buxom lipgloss color in the meantime so I'll be ready to order.

I think they will have it. I see it in the store every time I go. So far I really like the Lash Injection and the Cargo Texas Lash but I also still have so much more to try out.

I'm also finally trying out the MAC lipglasses, a plushglass and a dazzleglass too. $75 worth of 'em (had to order enough to get that free shipping ). Can't wait for them to get here! Anyone know how the shipping time usually is?

PLEASE, Please tell me you used the 25% at MAC.

I sure did! Probably wouldn't have ordered yet if I didn't have the code.

I haven't tried one yet. I was wondering if some of you could share your favorite shades. There are so many!!! I have seen a lot of posts about Dolly, but I know I have seen some of you talking about other shades as well. I just can't remember which ones they were. I'm going to try one but I just can't decide on my color.

I have four, and I'll do my best to describe how they look to me.

Dolly: a soft mauve color, kind of creamy texture
Candi: a clear, watermellon shade of pink
Trixie: a peachey pink (my favorite of the bunch)
April: a really sparkley light pink. LOTS of sparkle. Way back in this thread I posted a picture of a girl from a Too Faced ad wanting her lip color. I even emailed Too Faced for the name of the lip gloss she had on. I bought it and was dissapointed. "April" was exactly what I was looking for.

Gabby is my all time favorite color.

I keep looking at this one in the store. I want to try it, but am afraid it's too dark. How is it on?

I'm jealous you have so many. Based on your descriptions, I'll have to check out Dolly. I like mauve.

Gabby is not reallly as dark as it seems. It gives my lips just a little bit more color than my lips are. You should sample it while at Sephora.

Every time I go to Sephora (last time yesterday), Gabby end up my favorite!! Although I did try one that was very nice, it was very similar to Gabby but of course, I don't remember the name. I tend to gravitate to the same color time and time again.

I have a question, how difficult was it to manuver the MAC website? I spent so much time trying to get my order to the cart and then it would not let me pay today I look and the order I could not find is still in my cart but I cannot access it! I already ordered on the phone but stilll!!!

Thanks so much girls for the Buxom lipgloss favs!

Who is going on that kid-free WDW trip soon? Bella or Miss P A? I can't remember. I don't get to go this year (except we did do 3 days at Disneyland this spring) so I'm living through you! I can't wait to hear about it. I have never done it without kids, but I want to!!!

NOT ME!! My son is coming but he is 18 (kid at heart) and will most likely be the guy in the old WDW commercial where you see a mother saying to her son she is sorry he cannot come and then they cut to the son who is about 35 and you hear the mother say, "your wife and family need you" LOL then you hear his shakey voice say "OOKAAy!! I LOVED going with my kids to WDW and would rent young kids to take with me if I could.

I'm the one going next week! My girls are out with their dad for the summer and I miss them so much. They are having a great time and their dad has all kinds of fun planned with them. Heck, they may be going to Disneyland. I couldn't take them out of school and I couldn't miss any classes myself. Plus I am going to start working soon and who knows when I'll have vacation time. So my parents and I decided to just go on a last minute, low key trip. My parents own DVC points and had some points that HAD to be used or they would lose them (they had cancelled a trip...I don't know all DVC's rules) so we are getting a room at the Polynesian Resort. My sister is coming too. We all laugh that its just like an old family trips from when we were kids. The only thing missing is our pop-up camper.

So, since this is a last minute trip, I need to stay out of the stores. I didn't buy anything from the MAC sale But I do need to get some last minute things this evening so I plan to pick up some tinted moisturizer.

My big plans for this trip are to eat (we're getting the dining plan), go to MK and EPCOT, relax, and go browsing the stores that my daughters always dragged me out of when they were with me. I love World Showcase and always wanted to browse the little shops (I can't wait to check out what goodies are in the French shop!) and the girls just want the rides. So this trip should be a little different from what I've been used to. I look forward to spending a good bit of time at the Art of Disney store in DD. We leave a week from today.

Hey Bella, sorry I'm so late replying. I didn't have trouble with the site at all. I think it's a terrible design and it's hard to see the swatches of colors, etc. but technically I didn't have any problems. sorry to hear that you did.

But for such a big company, I really expected a better site. I really have no idea what to expect when these lip colors actually come because the swatches stink.

I could not check out and I wanted to go back and get more but it was too much of a hassle. I still have not gotten an e mail that it has been shipped. They are the worst but the 25% was only available on line.

ooooh, get it while it is still in stock. Four Stila eyeshadows...only $10!!!

It must be really tiny...I wonder if they have them in the store. NO I do NOT need this. I am guessing Beauty Crunch will be having a sale soon. BUT I do not need any of this I have a MAC order coming or should I say it ihas not YET shipped. They are a horrible company with which to do business first the website is useless and then it takes 5 to 7 days just to get the order shipped??? OH and did I mention that is BUSINESS days? So I got it on the 16th and today , even though 5 days have passed, is only the 3rd day

 

[BeenHereB4]

Mine didn't ship yet either Bella. How awful! the indie company I get my MMU from is a one woman show and gets the stuff out almost always same or next day. You'd think a company as huge as MAC would have better turn around time. I hope I like the lipglasses I ordered at least, but I doubt I'll order again unless there is some FANTASTIC deal or something.

Good heavens that is terrible. That would drive me nuts. After all that posting about the F&F code, I didn't buy anything. It's not as tempting to spend the money and then have to sit around a wait for my stuff. Now if I could take that code to the store that would be another story!

I was all ready to go to the Clinique counter and buy Workout Makeup or their tinted moisturizer when I stopped at Rite Aid to check on a prescription. I found Revlon ColorStay Active Light Makeup. It claims to be sweatproof, light coverage with an SPF25!!! Sounds perfect for Florida. Best part? It was marked 75% off (reg 12.99) $3.25! I was so happy I didn't have to lay down $30 for Clinique's t/m.

I have it on right now over top of laura mercier primer and I'm loving it. I have so many primer samples that I'm not going to purchase any Monistat. I should go outside and walk the dog to see how it holds up. I walked outside yesterday for three miles in 80+ degree heat and humidity and my Lancome foundation did not do so well. I'm excited about this Revlon and I am ready to get out of this two-bit town and see Mickey . Almost time to start packing! I hear it is super hot down there too.

I just got rid of the MAC and now I have to use the Sephora. I do not know what I want so I will wait.It is ust as well I missed the stila...i did not need it...or anything else!

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Philosophy is having a FF 20% off use code sharethelove Free shipping with a 50.00 purchase.This is not hard since the eye hope advanced is 48.00. Also no tax unless you are in AZ or CA...I SWORE I would not buy anything more but you guys all know who much weight that carries! And not for anthing but this was a necessity. I LOVE the Eye Hope Advanced.

MAC STILL NOT SHIPPED!!!!!!!! I am never buying anything from them on line again! I am going to write them a note I know they had their friends and family but put more help on. I do not know of anyone that takes 7 working days to ship somthing. Give me a BREAK!!

I completely agree. How absurd!!!!

Do make sure you follow through with that note writing.

Ive mentioned how much I have fallen in love with the Lip Fusion brand glosses. Well, on HSN the other night, they had a duo special thing:

http://beauty.hsn.com/lipfusion-col...|3516&prev=hp!sf!3516!dept&ccm=bs|bs0001|3516

This sucker bought, not one, but two. As if I needed anymore, let alone 2 more.

I got Goddess & Crave - both of which are positively fantastic. I LOVE THESE GLOSSES!!

And I do believe theyre continually plumping my pout. My lips look poofier than before I began using them. I love them.

And - keep in mind - VonMaur.com still has them clearanced out, if youre interested.

them....
