Talk about product overload - I think I'm buying makeup in my sleep because I looked through my lipstick stash and found colors I don't remember wanting or buying! Lol.
How do you like the brush? Is it good quality worth the price? Thanks!
Well I had decided I would get the GA items I was going to get from Sephora during GA's sale so I picked them up earlier. Two of the blushes (506 and 509), the eye tint trio and a Rouge Ecstasy in 306 Amber. I got the funky free concealer brush as a GWP. Their GWP from last 20% sale was wayyy better IMO.
Nice!! I have the old foundation brush too, but in true makeup hoarder fashion, I have only looked at and admired it so far, and haven't used it. I have my eye on the blush brush and/or the contouring brush. The 20% off promo makes the prices more palatable. I hope you like your new kitty when you use it!I actually picked up two brushes---the old foundation brush and the new blush brush. I've used the foundation brush but I've not yet used the blush brush----it's well made, and soft & fluffy like a tiny white kitten. Hopefully I'll see how kitty performs soon when I use the Armani blushes that I recently purchased. I like using the designer's tools w/their products. I know, I know---I'm twisted that way----I've just always imagined that they design the tools to suit there products and fit their compacts etc., so I often stay true to that notion.
I only just ordered them today lol. But I was going off of the swatches below from the Weekend Ramblings blog! I wanted to pick up Cashmere as well but I was trying to be good lol. I also wanted the 507 blush but I have so many blushes in that family! 509 and 506 were less dupable to my stash.We got the exact same blushes!!!! How do you like Amber???? You did real good mama!!!!!
I briefly lusted after the contour brush but I wish it were on a handle, which I prefer, so for that reason I'm skipping it. My Chanel angled brush is getting the job done for now.Nice!!

So far I have one of the new reformulated blushes, the 502 which I really like. I might pick up one more and one of the eye tints. But I'm gearing up for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and still recovering from the Sephora sale. So, I'm not sure how big my F&F order will be. #makeupprobz
Oh I see! Great swatches! Thanks for sharing them here. I would like an Armani blush in the orange/coral/peach family.I only just ordered them today lol.

That's one of my misgivings about the brush. I prefer handles too. My handle-less brushes often get ignored and they I can't put them in some of my brush holders. I have the Chanel brush; it shed a couple of times so I put it on a time out, but I love its size (larger than most) and brush density. And cash back gets me every time too, even though recently my new pop up blocker has been causing issues with Mr Rebates even when I have disabled it.I briefly lusted after the contour brush but I wish it were on a handle, which I prefer, so for that reason I'm skipping it.

It seems we rarely, if ever have time to recover from these sales. 20% off plus a meaningful % cash back gets me every time. #makeupprobz
Oooh, one more question. I promise.I actually picked up two brushes---the old foundation brush and the new blush brush. I've used the foundation brush but I've not yet used the blush brush----it's well made, and soft & fluffy like a tiny white kitten. Hopefully I'll see how kitty performs soon when I use the Armani blushes that I recently purchased. I like using the designer's tools w/their products.

EXACTLY-----what were they thinking with that half-moon bristle holderThat's one of my misgivings about the brush. I prefer handles too. My handle-less brushes often get ignored and they I can't put them in some of my brush holders. I have the Chanel brush; it shed a couple of times so I put it on a time out, but I love its size (larger than most) and brush density. And cash back gets me every time too, even though recently my new pop up blocker has been causing issues with Mr Rebates even when I have disabled it.
Until Dec 8-----I just checked the Email. You have to spend $75 to get the 20% off.
The blush brush is nice. You can also get a concealer brush if you spend $150 but that offer is for today only. I also got Cheek Fabric # 200.
Nice picks. I've forgotten what that palette is like but I do have those eye tints---hope you like them a lot.
Let me try now.
Oh no---I ordered earlier and had no problems. I've already gotten my shipping notice. I hope it works out.
