Lol!
I love your haul! The formula of the Clinique blushes is just awsome. I really hope they will make more blush shades and also highlighters with it. Not that I need more of those either...

Day 19: - since I skipped a day... MAC Girl Next Door Uranian Decay Shattered Face Kit Ok love the shattered palette. I bought it to take with me to the hospital when I went into labor. Yeah.. Didn't use it but at least I had something. I've used it a few times now and really like it as a throw in my bag put makeup on later kinda thing. Perfect mom on the go palette! Girl next door... Ughhh hate it more each time. I must have put 2-3 different lipglasses on top and still it's eh. If I ever go to an 80's party I'm totally wearing this. it's just not a grocery shopping kinda color lol

I haven't posted here in a while and have missed out on so much! Sending hugs to everyone who is struggling and having a difficult time I recently flew out for a job interview and really screwed up a portion of it. I am quite disappointed in myself and have been rather down since Friday. Ah well, everything works out the way it should and I need to remember that

Glad to see you hun!My Sephora haul:
NARS Douceur blush (being dc'd)
UD Electric Palette
LM Artist Palette (Christmas gift for my daughter - the last one from the back)
So you DID get that UD Palette! You had almost convinced me to skip it for a few more Inglot brights.. but now I'm in trouble. HeeHee I'm sure I (and you and your daughter) will get a lot of use out of it. I'm going to make myself let go of at least a handful of my other brights to get it though! Let me know how you like it.

No worries about that interview. Dwelling on it won't change anything. Just move forward and use it as a learning experience. If it's meant to be...
Smile and be proud of yourself for the hard efforts!

Awwwwwww sending hugs your way!! I believe that everything happens for a reason and if this job doesn't come through then trust that something better will come along! When I bomb at an interview, I always think it was just a "dress rehearsal" preparing me for the real deal!

Make sure you don't get rid of the brights that are similar to the ones in the electric palette that aren't "immediate eye area" safe.

Did a little damage today at the VIB Rouge event, mostly skincare and a new concealer. Good thing is I set a limit of how much I wanted to spend and I didn't go over. Skincare is so important have to make sure I have the right products. No new lippies or eyeshadows which are my weakness. Even waited on the Hourglass Blush because I have three of the ambient powders which I can wear over my blush if needed.

The palette is actually cheaper for me than buying some UD brights would be (with shipping from the Montreal store). It's a fun palette; not colours I'd wear daily but they can certainly be incorporated into more neutral looks. I'm wearing a matte peachy Inglot shade on the lid and a neutral pink/brown as a transition shade. I added Fringe as liner along the lower lash line, patted a tiny amount of Jilted into the middle/outer portion of the lid (just a hint of it) and then blended Fringe into the corner and crease, also very lightly. A very thin line of black liner on the upper lid, and it's wearable even for me. I do think this palette is ideal for those young enough to wear it in its full pigmented glory, but the colours can be sheered down and incorporated into everyday looks as well.
Savage looks nice patted onto gloss as well - it sheers it out. (This is a suggested use on the UD site for Savage and Jilted, so they must be lip safe).
If I didn't have daughters in the house, I wouldn't have bought it. I'll have fun playing with it a bit and might occasionally reach for a single shade to work into a look, but it's not going to be the kind of staple that N3 is for me.

WARNING: Do not allow uber-extroverted, young makeup crazy daughters near the Electric palette. Above all else, do NOT mention that they're pigments and can be used in multiple ways. Within minutes, she had hot pink lips, purple brows, molten silver lids and was just warming up. Had to practically beat her off with a chair and explain in no uncertain terms that while I don't mind sharing it, it CANNOT be kept in her room or used without permission.
I can just imagine the call from the school now the first time she managed to slide past her considerably less vigilant dad onto the school bus for some 'spirit day' or something.

Naynadine sorry your dads having such a hard time. Sending prayers your way my dear! After seeing the pics from AA I'm feeling pretty good that I'm only getting a few lip products from Playland and skipping all the other April and June collections (unless the sharon n kelly colls have anything good). And I probably won't get much from the mineralize coll.

My Sephora order was not too bad... UD Electric Palette OCC Rust pigment (been wanting this FOREVER!) OCC Primary Colors Mini Set 2 Full Size OCC Lip Tars OCC Lip Pencil in Trick Kept within my budget. Now I just need to keep myself in check for the next few MAC Collections. Was going to get 1 blush from PS but I'm going to skip. Was going to get 3 PP Pencils but I'm remarkably making myself SKIP that too! No more than 3 things from Playland. 1 lipstick from By Request. And I'll allow myself a few extra items from AA in place of skipping stuff I was going to get within my goal. Although after the initial thrill of AA pics wears off, I may still be able to keep control of my haul! I'm a work in progress... But I can tell I'm making progress!! So that's all that matters to me!

So, at Ulta I picked up the new Too Faced A La Mode eye palette, Lorac Unzipped (this has been #1 on my wish list since I started the low-buy), and a skincare item. I redeemed points and with my coupon I only spent $63 - I had talked to my husband before I left and we agreed on $50 - $70 budget. So strange for me to discuss it beforehand and use debit instead of credit. At Sephora, I want Naked 3 and Naked Skin foundation and possibly a Bite lipstick. I'm ok with just the foundation depending on budget. Lastly I've got my eye on 3 items from Too Faced (the new Natural Eyes palette, and la creme lipsticks in Juicy Melons and Razzle Dazzle Rose). I have a 20% off code but we will see if I get cash or gift cards or what for my birthday, if anything. If I get a Sephora gift card I will get these items from Sephora instead. I knew this buying session was coming - I have been planning for it since January. So I don't feel like I'm just buying and buying because of discounts. From MAC, I'm allowing one item each from Patentpolish, Playland and one new blush (maybe Modern Mandarin from Tres Cheek). Skipping PS. Deep breaths about Alluring Aquatic... I'm a total ho for ED stuff. Hopefully the blushes are dupeable.

That would be a perk! I just can't do MAC for most skincare and I have a weakness for those OCC Lip Tars!
