Hey, don't ask questions if you can't handle the answers!  Jk!  :lmao:   I think these are permanent so I say wait for a better 20% off sale, either at Sephora in November or directly from Becca's Friends & Family.  It's easy to get caught up and go crazy buying just to have the things everyone else is buying.  I really try now to take a step back and figure out exactly why I'm buying something.

Hahaha! Oh yeah I know. I got what I needed and what I liked within my "budget". I don't play myself by chasing down luxury brands if I know I can't upkeep it. Or multiple e/s palettes that look the same. Makes no sense to me. I don't have it like that, hahaha!

 

[montREALady]

Face it, you're hooked. You can't leave Specktra now. Lol You gotta get bittersweet blush. I got mine today and it's :heart2:.

Shhhhhh. Lol. I love UD. Their products, their packaging. Ugh! Purple is my fav color, I have to.

I was just looking at some of my Stila eye shadow palettes today and thought "Sigh… I remember when Stila was great..." Things haven't been the same since they were sold/re-purchased. I feel like they have rebounded in recent years though. 

I own not a stitch if Stila.

I own not a stitch if Stila.

Stila was one of my first high-end beauty brand purchases. I was in high school and I remember buying a lipgloss quad with loose change at Nordstrom. I was too young to have shame, lol.

Ahh, the good ole days.

I sometimes pay in coins at the drive-thru window when I want to get rid of all the change in my purse...or in the grocery store for a small purchase. Never for a large amount, but I probably would if I had a ton of coins in my purse. It's still money! LOL

Hahaha, I didn't realize you meant literal loose change! I thought your were speaking figuratively!

I use my card always and hardly ever have cash but when I have change I put it in my sons piggy bank. My husband hates change and puts it in his own every day when he gets home then we go to Coinstar when it's full and spend it, ha! Shoot it adds up! Remember when we had to roll coins and bring it to the bank? I may be showing my age here.

Stila was mine too. I was at the Sephora in the Venetian on the Vegas strip and I got a Hard Candy quad (back when it was still high end) and Stila Barefoot Contessa eyeshadow.

I put my change in my daughters bank. Or if I have a couple ones I'll have her help me with a chore and then I let her put the money in her "good girl jar"

I rarely carry cash, but when I do, I always end up with change.

I do remember rolling coins as a kid and taking it to the bank and they didn't charge a few like CoinStar! My credit union has a machine and they tally up the coins and prints out a receipt and you take it to the teller and you can get cash or they will deposit the amount into your account. Best part is they have no fee.

Lol I can never keep change even if I wanted to! My two year old claims all the "nimeys" for her little panda wallet. That thing is almost heavier than she is.

Hahaha! Everytime I get a box i'll tell hubby I used the Sephora gc he gave me for Christmas!

LOL! I say I exchanged something. :haha:

 

[montREALady]

So I don't know about the MUFE bronzers, y'all! Swatched, it's just okay-- I may keep Caramel as an all over powder; I love the soft luminosity, and the color and texture is better than the MAC Defining Powders. 30M is just not dark enough to create the impact I'd need in a bronzer. The struggle is too much to find a deep bronzer for NC50++. I think anyone NC45 and lighter will love these. L-R: Sienna (30M), Caramel (35I) - quick swatches in natural light

I can barely see it. It is subtle...what other bronzers have you tried and didn't like? There are a lot of beauty supply ones that are dark. You live in NYC, right? Unless you're looking for higher end. What about Becca? I got one from ACW called Calypso (Becca) [@]Twinkle_Twinkle[/@] recommended it.

OMG I just realized the code is still working.

So did I.... so did I.

I just used my line on him as I was opening my box! He's like, "I see all these boxes coming in and none are microwaves" (ours broke), I'm like, "Can I get those at Sephora? I've been using my gift card" I have a 2 yr old too. Going on 16. She's going to lead me to take drugs. Help.

Speaking of drugstore. Have you tired the Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous? I recently noticed that my local Bed Bath & Beyond had gotten rid of Cover Girl so it was $3.49 and I had a coupon. If you can wear Nars Sheer Glow in Trinidad I think you can wear CG RSG in shade 315 Tawny. So did I.... so did I. :shock:  

No. I haven't bought a drugstore foundation in a while. Well the CG Queen matte powder this week was the first in a long time. I'll check it out. Thanks! Your BBB is the joint! I only just noticed last week that their cosmetics are so much cheaper than regular drug stores here.

Not to mention that if you get that $5 off $15 coupon its even better. Also my BBB tends to get some of the new releases earlier than CVS or Walgreens. I miss Duane Reade though.

Oh good grief! If it shows up like that on me it can't go back fast enough. How ridiculous. It's like a damn setting powder. Why is it so hard for MUFE to recreate their Mat Bronze. I love and use #40 almost everytime I do my face. You'd think they'd just update and expand on that. I could've bought something else. hboy: I want to flip over furniture.

Don't flip the table just start thinking about what you are going to exchange it for. Did you get the MUFE palettes?

Nah. I know I wouldn't wear the brights at this point and really I have all the nudes and neutrals that interested me. Dark Matter by Melt on top of that gives me all I need. I'm upset because I have to wait for my slower than slow store to get new stock for me to exchange it. I'll probably turn it in for a UD Blush and I really want the new pink Aquamatic by MUFE and it just sucks already knowing my package has a dud in it.
