Well, I did it...I returned the Divergent palette to Sephora yesterday. I swatched the display right before just to be sure. The shades were pretty, but too similar to ones I already have in my collection and I just wasn't wowed by any of it.

Day 1: L'Oreal Extraordinaire Fushia Drama Day 2: MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick Day 3: Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Romantic Day 4: Sleek Matte Me in Brink Pink - this went in the bin after - it is awful! Day 5: Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon Day 6: Revlon Lip Butter in Sorbet Day 7: Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart Day 8: Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake - this one doesn't work too well on me its going in the disposal bag! Day 9: Revlon Lip Butter in Macaroon - this was my favorite originally, but now I think i prefer Sorbet and Sweet Tart ? Day 10: Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple - this is a stayer! In the first 10 days I have 7 keepers, 2 Disposals and 1 maybe - not bad going! 2 more days of lip butters, I think I have peach parfait and tutti fruity to left to wear, then I need to choose another section of my lipstick stash to try! i think i might do my Bourjois shine Editions and rouge editions as there are only 5 and i think there are 2 that should prob go in the dispose bag. After that I might do my Shu Lipsticks which will take me up to day 24! Anyone use Giorgo armani luminous silk foundation? I have lemmings for it ? but I am not sure if its just Youtube hype, I kind of have enough base products and I am doing well at using them up, but It would help if I could kill these lemming! Big hugs to everyone who is having a rough time at the moment xXXXx

Is your bf on medication? He may be having a reaction. Be glad you're his girlfriend. I recommend you get over to his place, or track down where he is, and get him to a doctor immediately. I have a friend right now who I KNOW is having medication complications that are destroying his mental state and making him suicidal. He's just a friend and not someone I can just barge in on and drag to a new doctor, unfortunately. I know his girlfriend is totally useless and just rolls her eyes at his pronouncements (and he keeps them under wraps around her in order to not get judged by her), so it's very worrying. But, there's nothing I can do directly, because I'm not a part of his life on an intimate level. I have offered to get him to a doctor if he wants and have asked him to make some arrangements so if he's in trouble, I will be notified, but he hasn't taken me up on any of it, so there's precious little else I can do. Fortunately, you can help your bf if you take charge. I guarantee you that much! Good luck.

Nah, Liba, keep at it. That repetition will let him know that you're in his corner. Keep offering even if he doesn't take you up on it. And give that gf of his a serious talking to. This notion that people joke about suicide is unfounded. She better get it together and be supportive!

I really encourage you to talk with your boyfriend. He sounds pretty reasonable, but there is a strong possibility he's drinking as a way of self-medicating a more underlying issue. I am not one to necessarily recommend anti-depressants, but totally separate from that, people can have hormonal or other physical issues that could benefit from at least a decent checkup by an internist or endocrinologist. Exercise, change of diet, even maybe some more frequent visits from you, could make a world of difference. It may be really worth a couple hours of drive time to see him during the week every now and then. Good luck, honey and again, be glad you have someone in your life you can be a positive influence for.

I have talked about it with him and what you say is true. He has no insurance so he can't afford to go to the doctor. Also, there's just no way I can drive in more than I do. There's no way I could do so with my class schedule and getting all of my school work done. I am stressed enough, and doing so, as much as I would love to see him more than just on the weekends, would just completely stretch me.

That's tough. I'm not sure what state you're in, but he should be eligible for low cost insurance from the Marketplace that will cover mental health services. Take care of yourself as well. You're no use to anyone if you start falling apart. I hope things get better. On a trivial note, I really want those Playland lippies. I pray there are dupes because I am itching to haul.

Thank you so much for the vibes! I do know; he had a drinking problem before when we first got together, we've been together 7 years in May and he was doing really good until recently. He wouldnt even acknowledge it before so that he is is such a great sign to me.

Oh girl, I hope your bf gets the help he needs. Super big hugs to you!

My hubby came home today and surprised me randomly with revlon snow peach. One of the new ones. He saw it at cvs and picked the color he thought I'd like best. So cute and sweet. He also got me sephora's Pantone color of the year in a lip balm. Wow I really like it. I could never pull off the lipstick but the lip balm is the perfect shade for me. (Sephora is next to the apple store) he wanted to surprise me.... Which probably means "I spent a lot of money on useless stuff so here's a lipstick so you aren't mad" HAHA

This killed me! I was all feeling sorry for myself thinking my husband would never surprise me with makeup and then we get to the last line. Love it! Smart man.

Yay, good for you! I was tempted to try this. I'm glad I skipped it.
