Thanks @ILoveMakeup84 and @PixieDancer. I've wanted it for a minute, and i know how cult favorites sell out quickly! It does look like the perfect contour brush. i was trying to wait until April to buy makeup related items . So a week or two early won't kill me.

I just bought Face and Body because it was in the Goodbyes section. For whatever reason, the only one in the large bottle MAC is getting rid of is in my color. I was going to cancel because I see they have the small bottle in my color, but I did the math and I get more bang for my buck with the larger one.

Reporting in my lipstick: Illamasqua Obey..

it's a horrid colour on first application but used wisely (with a brush and balm below and on top) it gives me a very soft corally look for the golden/brown smokey eye I did today. I have pulled out the colours I hardly ever use and am starting from those first.

But today, I did not want to be the

Picked up three of the newest LE Maybelline Color Tattoo shades this afternoon. I've been looking for them for months and had pretty much given up being able to find them anywhere. Out of curiosity, I stop at a Walgreens on the way to the post office and the display was front and center. Since I've been wanting these for a while now I don't consider this an impulse buy.

OOoops sorry! Technically I can't rave about it, as I don't have it yet. But I tend to give myself a little more wiggle room when it comes to good staple items like brushes. It isn't going to go bad like a product. But it is pretty pricey. I wouldn't say it's a must have necessarily. It obviously is a pretty specialized brush. I struggle a bit with contouring so I thought I could use the help. If you don't contour often, or already have a good method down, I think you'd be fine to skip the Ita brush! HTH

I'm horrible at contouring too. So I'm hoping this will help. I'm Italian so I have a bit of facial hair and find it hard to contour with out it trying to grab onto the hair lol. I just ordered it yesterday after deciding on returning the nars fdn I purchased. Well that's at least how I justified it hahah. :shock:

I'm in, too, for the lipstick challenge! Today I wore Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in Nectar. I love this formula! I'm actually doing a Bobbi Brown theme week, got out all my BB stuff and using it exclusively for a week, trying to use everything at least once. I "only" have 6 BB lipsticks, so these will be my first 6 days.

Just drove back from NYC in a blinding snowstorm - thought we were going to need to abort several times but we pushed through. I hit MAC, Inglot and a CCO with my daughters and I'm happy with how I did. MAC: 239 & 159 brushes (gave all empties to my daughters for BTM) Inglot: 419 & 434 (bought my youngest a 10 pan and 5 shadows to get her started and then gave her two of the shadows from my existing Inglot palette to make room for my new ones) Bobbi Brown: hibiscus Pot Rouge and Antigua bronzer Sephora: MUFE HD Foundation in 120 (replacement for almost finished MAC F&B) CCO: Clinique skincare, Pink Tea blush and Saffron e/s (Surf Baby) While away I gifted 2 lippies and sold 2. I now have no backups and moved Private Party out . I exchanged Stereo Rose for the BB bronzer and bought the Inglot e/s, Pink Tea and Saffron with sale proceeds. I'm really only out of pocket for the skincare (bought way below Canadian retail), the foundation (staple) and the Pot Rouge. I'm happy with how the year is going - I've purged a lot and have been very selective about what I moved in while spending very little. All good. ;)

I saw you posted again that you were going to skip the challenge due to too many lipsticks... and shamefully I have WAY more than you! I have almost 40 that I haven't even tried or used! So my theory was, if I actually get around to using some of these lipsticks, I might actually get a better idea of what I use and what I don't. Hoping the challenge will help me purge some lippies from my stash. (ie If I have 20 coral-ish lipsticks, I should easily be able to part with five after trying them and seeing which ones I like the best!) I had pulled about 5 lippies aside to use up because of how old they are too. But even though I won't be concentrating on those individual lippies the next month, at least I will be rotating and using stuff. And hopefully finding some are not needed... then off to my swap thread they'll go! HTH I'd love for you to join us! But if you have a goal of getting thru specific colors, I understand that too. (PS If your trying to get thru 6, that would take up 6 of your days! And after the other 24 dyas, you can go back to them! HeeHee) Ahhhhh... one of my recent favs! LOVE those darn Huggables! Good pick! How sweet! Maybe a nice card with a Starbucks gift card in it... that way she'll think of you and your thoughtfulness for the next week when she gets her morning cup of coffee!  The other ideas were good too!! I personally LOVE Ravishing (I'm adding it to my 30 lipsticks challenge because of you!). I'm NC30/35. But YouTube Guru TiffanyD is a paler NW I think, and she's the one that convinced me to try it. So I think it's a very versatile shade! Try it for sure!!! YAY!!! Good job girl! I'm thinking of trying to skip most of the March collections too! Maybe 1 blush from PS, and 1-2 things from Playland tops. Spring and Summer will be a HUGE test for me! But so far so good. If it helps at all... and it has helped me skip the Clinique blushes myself... apparently the packaging is very cheaply constructed. Several girls have complained that their lids have broken off! So no matter how cute a blush is, if the packaging makes it look all cheap and broken, I'll pass. Maybe they'll eventually repackage them since they've gotten so popular. HTH :pompom:   WELCOME!! Glad to have you joining our little group! :pompom:

This challenge is going to be hard for me as I wear the same 5 repeatedly. The harder part will be remembering which I wore already lol

To avoid repeats I have a separate bag, i pull from the bag filled with lipsticks , use it and at the end of the day I drop in worn lippie bag so I can't repeat it. Plus I have a list in my notebook numbered for each day.

Day 1: L'Oreal Extraordinaire Fushia Drama Day 2: MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick Day 3: Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Romantic I am also doing the bag thing Calla88 mentioned. I am pulling out of my muji draw in the morning and then at the end of the day it is either going in a keep bag or my dispose of bag! that way I should remember which worked for me and which didn't! Hoping this will help me reduce down my drugstore lip products!
