Hello ladies!! I've been away from Spectra for so long and I just had to comment on this thread. I have bought 8 nail polishes in the last week. Does any one else get into obsessive stages with beauty products? I've been through a MAC, NARS, skincare, makeup brushes and now apparently a nail product phase.
yes I do this all the time now I'm in my wanting tom ford phase I hope this one dies down soon because I don't want to get addict to Tf ysl is really my limit lol

Booohooo, today I bought my first beauty product since the beginning of March: one of L'Oréals Extraordinaire glosses. I just needed to have this. It was 10,85€ but since I sold my Escada perfume my wallet's not crying so much.
This is also the lipstick (or gloss; whatever, I don't make a difference since I don't have that many glosses) for today.

Day 1: MAC Hot Gossip
Day 2: MAC Fanfare
Day 3: Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm Pink Blossom
Day 4: Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm Pink Blossom
Day 5: Maybelline Blushing Beige
Day 6: MAC On Hold
Day 7: Astor Lip Butter Unguilty Pleasure
Day 8: L'Oréal Extraordinaire Lipgloss Rose Finale

Pixie - I've been told that you cannot B2M a lipstick that you got via B2M but I sure will try; thanks anyway!

Today's lip is Tarte Energy skintuitive(?) liosurgence or whatever - the pinky balm that changes color once applied. I'm taking a 20% coupon to Ulta tonight and spending a few hours all by myself. I have been so, so good so I'm going to treat myself (within reason). I don't even feel a little bit guilty.

Thank you for all the peach/coral recs... instead of buying them all, I'll buy one at a time.. LOL Definitely thinking of getting two of the yellow playland lippie.
I would think twice about getting 2 Playlands. It's a weirdass color and is fussy to apply. Even if you mix it with other lipsticks, I think you can be pretty sure you won't get to the bottom of it any time soon.

Day 19: MAC Dreaminess Lipstick Ready To Party, Stolen Moment, Peachy Keen Shadows MAC Gentle Blush Not feeling the hype of the mineralized lipstick. It does stay on a long time though and isn't drying. Ok I guess they are cool wish I tried a huggable oh well. Lovingggggg gentle blush and my new (yet old) EDES lol

Today I went to Sephora and was going to get a full makeover, but ended up mostly trying a new foundation. I'd been wearing MAC Studio Fix Fluid and after a couple hours, it was starting to look strange on my face, almost powdery? She tried a few on me but of the lot, I liked Kat Von D Lock-it Foundation. It felt nice... until she put the KVD primer underneath. Now it feels really... yucky. I went ahead and bought the foundation (I can return if it still feels like this without the primer) but I'm about 80% sure the problem is the primer. She put it on two hours ago and it still doesn't feel like it has dried.

I considered a NARS blush but $30 is high for blush (for me, I'm not much on blush). I also tried on NARS Satin pencil in Luxembourg, which I really liked, but I decided to head to the MAC counter and see what they had similar. All Fired Up was close enough for me (and $9 cheaper!) and I also found Till Tomorrow Pro Longwear Lipcreme. I really like this and I will probably invest in more of those, the packaging is nice and sturdy, feels very expensive and the formula is nice, and they're only $2 more than the regular MAC lipsticks.

CCOs generally have stuff from older LE collections (from at least two or three years prior... or maybe it's just the ones I've been to?), along with discontinued and permanent products.

i love Flaunting It - it was one of my first BUs. I've gone through one tube and haven't opened the new one yet. I think I'll wait for that until Fall, as it's more of a winter and early spring color for me. Until then, I will be using Spontenous Patentpolish, which is even better on me, since it has less brown!


NO MASCARA AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!!

I have done it tons of times. I don't think I've ever had anyone look at my containers close enough. So maybe you can't. But I know for a fact I have. Good Luck!

Yeah. I had a manager at my CCO tell me that if a perm color isn't selling well at a certain location, they will send out their overstock. So it may just be something that isn't selling fast enough in your area, if it's a perm product.

My mind is all over the place today. Dad's feeling worse. Now he can't eat, he's got stomach problems adding to his other issues, he can't even get up. And they're not really helping him there I think, he's just being isolated in a room, because they don't know where his stomach problems come from. My mom said he was crying tonight and saying he feels like he's dying. He's never like that, so I'm really scared.
So sorry Nadine. It must be hard to see your dad so vulnerable. Hope he gets well soon. I'll be thinking of you.

I think many people don't get the treatment they need because they think discussing their "feelings" with their doctor isn't important. But it really is. I hope they can help him feel better very soon. In the meantime, try to spend as much time with him as you can. Sometimes just knowing someone cares helps so much!
Hugs for you doll!!

oy, my lips turn everything a plummy colour.. not particularly what I want for the outfit etc. I generally mistrust things that change colours. lol.

they remind me of the moodie lipsticks which I used to buy when I was a teenager.. hey, those are great! and cheap!

@Liba, Yazmin, Nay-Nay, keep strong, you ladies and Nay-Nay's dad are in my thoughts and prayers . I seem to shy away when there is pain, hurt and suffering as I endured and experienced so many personally. I feel for and empathize with everyone that is dealing with one tribulation or another. Keep the faith, be there for each other and as HG wud say, plod on.
