Can anyone tell me if they like the Stila eyes are the window shadow palettes and if so what palette? I heard mixed reviews but I am so tempted to pick one up. Stila is having their 25% off now.

Ha! Funny you should ask because I bought it about a month ago(?). Used it just the other day and I dig it. Again, I definitely recommend that line of brushes.

Yeah, I just didn't know that they took the same style of brushes over to black. I thought some of them were new. I had a blush brush in gray handle and..just no.

Meh, its okay. I've only tried the regular one, and in winter, and it made me look a little too dewy and I have dry skin. But its good coverage for a TM and the oil free version is better, or so I hear. It gets messy though.

My package, ordered on November 9th, is still pending, at warehouse. The 7 day authorization on my credit card has now expired, and I cant see them making their self imposed delivery deadline of the 19th (at this point.) I've since gone elsewhere and purchased the items I needed (I was out of both foundation and concealer.) Has anyone had any luck getting them to just cancel their orders? I've talked to CS several times and continue to get the runaround; I understand that they typically can't cancel orders that are in the middle of being fulfilled, but they are obviously making no headway in completing this one.

Try Estée Lauder double wear. I thought mat velvet+ was ok... Not life changing. Sheer glow didn't have enough coverage for me. Double wear looks natural and stays perfect all day. I love it. Great color range too. Also - you can sheer it out with beauty blender for less coverage. Does anyone have KVD Lolita or bauhau5? Thoughts / swatches?? My sephora has both in stock and I am itching to get them... I'm nc20 and on some people Lolita pulls brown... Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated!

Sandy, is Double Wear good for dry skin? My skin is a desert.

I'm pretty sure I have Bauhau5! If you're speaking of the liquid lippies. I always mix up their names, ha. The formula is definitely drying without prepping your lips first-- but damn it does not budge! I loove the color of bauhau5 on me, and I'm just a tad lighter than you. I'm not home, or else I would provide some swatches!

I'm not totally dry but I do get dry patches - and once the foundation "settles" It doesn't cling to the dry spots. I moisturize first but no primer so it's probably even better with primer. I don't find the foundation drying but it does control oil like a dream in t zone. Ask for a sample at one of their counters - took me a few tries to get shade match and their sales women were very sweet about giving me good sized sample to try out. Hope it works for you.
Yes I did mean the liquid ones sorry
thanks for your thoughts. Do you feel it's like rebel or like a pinker version? More bright or more vampy? Sorry for the questions but appreciate your thoughts!!

It's no problem!! Hm, I do not have rebel to compare. I would say, it's a bit pink-ish (but not too much) if you do a thin coat. However, I usually let it dry and do another one for a darker shade-- a bit more vampy but nothing drastic on my pale skin. Googling pics of rebel on fair skin ladies leads me to believe rebel is a little darker. It wouldn't say they're too close!

I tried Estee lauder double wear and loved it! I was debating between that and the mat velvet I decided to get the mat velvet to just try something new. I'm still testing it out so if I don't like it I'll just return it and get the double wear at that new Sephora that just opened up by me. I really did love the Nars sheer glow, to me it had very nice coverage and I went through about three bottles of it at a time. I think that it's definitely a tricky one and is a love it or hate it kind of thing for people with oily skin.

I also forgot to post my VIB haul shame on me...
Marc Jacobs liner set- These liners are seriously gorgeous! So smooth and they last,Such pretty colors too.
Embroylisse- I really don't know how I feel about this yet...I think it may be making my makeup last less than it usually does....
Bite agave lip mask in champagne- This stuff is so hydrating and so gorgeous! I love to wear this over or under lipsticks and sometimes before I go to bed as a lip treatment. The rose gold shimmer is just gorgeous!
MUFE Mat velvet+- Nice coverage and it does dry nice and matte. I'm still on the fence with this one...
Bobbi Brown bb cream in fair-This is a pretty nice size for a 100 pt perk Luckily this matches my skin pretty well, and it does have nice coverage.
Dior Overcurl mascara- I've had this mascara in a full size before and I remember it being ok. I did however wanna give it another shot and see if maybe I had gotten an old tube or something because people rave about this mascara.
UD Pulp Fiction palette- For some reason the eye shadows in this palette seriously kick UD's other shadows in the butt with it's pigmentation and the way they blend is like buttah....
If it's still on sale on the UD website I would suggest grabbing this. I've never tried the naked basics palette but this palette is amazing for an everyday neutral eye

That's a big help! Pinker than rebel sounds good and what I was thinking based on other swatches I've seen online. TY!It's no problem!! Hm, I do not have rebel to compare. I would say, it's a bit pink-ish (but not too much) if you do a thin coat. However, I usually let it dry and do another one for a darker shade-- a bit more vampy but nothing drastic on my pale skin.

Oh nice! I finally stopped looking for a "better" foundation. I just hope they don't change the formula again or that my skin doesn't change too much to make it not work for me anymore! Foundation struggles...
