[@]KiKi Kontour[/@] As promised, here are your swatches lady :) excuse my nails, my niece painted them and I don't have the heart to take it off until she leaves :love: If you want lip swatches, let me know! Top shade: #19 Bottom shade: #15 These feel and smell amazing! Not sticky AT ALL, just creamy and nicely pigmented! The brighter pink shade leaves a gorgeous stain on the lips after it wears off!

Love that bottom shade. Might check that out. It's nice it's not tacky.

This Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer makes my face feel tight and dry. Also, the Hourglass sucked out any dewiness out of my foundation. What a shame because I really wanted to love it. I would try the Primer Serum when the weather turns cool again, but I am really adverse to oils in facial products. I deal with the oil in the Becca SSP Liquid because it's low on the ingredients list and because it's going over a primer. Guess I'm sticking with my LM Oil-Free.

I swear for every 10 products I buy I return 4. Sorry, I'm not sorry. I even bought, returned, and re-bought one of the Sephora Cream Lip Stains because I was convinced that I could make it work with a lip liner but it applied unevenly no matter what so it has to go back, again. I also bought, returned, and re-bought Glisten but I'm keeping it because it's so pretty. I should have kept it the first time. The store closest to me never throws shade when I make returns though. Even when they are on multiple receipts.

Taking off my makeup and decided to try the Marc Jacobs Mahogany lipstick. Before I used to try to keep these things new as long as I could and now it's, like, "Gotta swatch it for the thread" lol The texture is almost as light as the Givenchy Le Rouge formula. Glad it doesn't look too close to NARS Deborah and Chanel Foudroyante on me. J'Adore might be next. Thanks Jenise, Dilligaf and Kiki :)

This Off-topic, but on nouveaucheap - someone posted about finding that Nars Tahiti Bronzer at Nordstrom Rack for $14.97 .. I hit up my local stores but my stores do not have it. It is so annoying that shoprunner has a minimum now..  I remember a few years ago - shoprunner announced it teamed up with Ulta.. but something happened and it never materialized.. when it was first announced - I was so excited, because I do order from Ulta a lot.. it usually takes me about 10 days to get my orders.. it is so freaking slow.. but they have so many good gift with purchase offers and their reward system is so much better than Sephoras -- that I just suck it up.  I would be in heaven if the partnership with shoprunner panned out.. 
You most likely won't find the bronzer at your rack store. It was a return from Nordstrom (had Nordstrom bar code) and was sent to Nordstrom rack to be sold there. I have so many samples of Laguna since NARS throws it in our faces but I wish I could find it for that price too haha

Awww that makes sense.. I have two sample size Lagunas and a Laguna/Orgasm duo- --which I rarely use.. so I had no business buying the Tahiti set anyway..I never understood the hype with that bronzer.. I doh't think it is dark enough for even my NW20 skin.

I prefer Casino!! That's a beautiful bronzer..

Anyway-- I got my Bronze Bares All in the mail today.. That's a really nice kit.. I am thinking about ordering another -- to keep as a last minute gift..

For real. I only order from them when they have a sale on stuff I want and I'll actually be spending $50. For Mother's Day it was a $35 min. I remember last year or year before they had $25 min sometimes. That $50 is way too much. I mean come on, $25 at least because I know it's costly to send people a bunch of cheap orders (even Beauty.com and Drugstore.com changed their Shoprunner to $25 minimum), but $50??
This sucks! I didn't even notice since my last order was over $25. Shoprunner is free 2-day shipping, not free 2-day shipping with a $25 purchase. These companies think they're so slick.

I remember this. I thought it would be perfect but it never happened. Ulta's shipping is slooowww. I usually only order from them once or twice a year. They have several stores in my area so I usually just shop in-store.

ABH Glisten? Girl if I knew you were having a conundrum about that eyeshadow I would have talked you into keeping it!

LOL - No tarte Glisten. I kind of went on a tarte blush binge (including ebay purchases). I don't really want to talk about it... *holds head in shame*

No shame here. You are among friends. We have all binge purchased before. Remind me to tell you about my NYX round lipstick phase. *shakes head* that was back in the budding days of my addiction. I don't have any of them now.

Anywho!!!! Since I mentioned ABH Glisten I think you should give it a look.
