They've been mentioned, but I don't remember anyone saying they've bought them. I didn't enjoy my experience with two of the older shades, but I am so desperate for an orange/coral stain that I might have to try these again eventually.
I've never tried Stila's lippies, are they comfortable to wear? I really like the orange shade, as well as the purple one too! I might just blind buy this one. Have a feeling the ones I want will sell out fast!

Honestly, I can't fully remember why I hated it. I think it had something to do with the wear, but I know the way it looked was a problem. I had Patina and Tesero and Tesero looked cakey and cracked on my lips. I posted about it in the Stila thread awhile back I think. I might just talk myself out of it, but I really, really need a lip stain in orange/coral. It's my favorite shade to wear and the only one I can't find in a stain.

Lol!! As soon as I posted that, I was like "maaaaan I am so Toronto". I thought I reined in my use of bakardi slang. I'm assuming you're from MTL? Thank you! Another little girl! Now I finally get a second chance to use the dozens of outfits I bought for our first lol.
I hope you do! It's so upsetting when you have to put away some cute outfits you never got to see them wear.

Ok...i may be late because I'm not in this thread that often, (trying not to tempt myself into buying anything)...anyhoo, does anyone have the new Stila liquid lipsticks from the summer collection? I think I wand them all!!! https://youtu.be/5oM_kwQ4gqk
I really like the Venezia color. I have so many other things I need to buy right now though so those will have to wait.

All right, my broke Sephora Specktrettes-it's time for reviews since I think that most of you have received your Sephora boxes already. I'm most interested in the following but all reviews of what you have bought are welcomed. Thanks to everyone who reviewed so far (I'm guessing that the MUFE bronzers aren't a good fit for me -NC42).

Clinque Cheek Pops - I liked the ones that I swatched in store-if they are the same quality as the first four, I will buy a couple.

Urban Decay- are the new blushes and lipglosses any good?

Surratt Beauty - never heard of this company before the sale. I was able to swatch some of the blushes and eyeshadows in the store. They seem very pigmented but small for the price point. Do they live up to all the hype?

Thanks for reviewing!
Man do I love this Cola cheek pop!!! Wearing it today. The formula is really great. At first I was like, "What is this little thing?" because it's so small, but I like that it's raised out of the pan so the color is right there (if that makes sense). I see Bloomies has the new colors now.


(also wearing ABH Artist Palette again, lol)

I have UD blush and mini lipgloss in Bittersweet but I haven't tried them yet.


Better pic of Cola Pop
Cola looks really great on you & I love your hair!!!!

and a few that were dc'd when they switched to the new packaging (I popped them out of the compacts into the free palettes and can't remember some names. For example, there is a pretty shimmery gold whose name has something to do with sand in the desert and a grey I think was called Charlotte...)
Sage!! You show-off! I can barely remember what I had for dinner tonight

I bought 3 of the UD blushes (Quickie, Bittersweet and Quiver) and I love all three. They're very pigmented and stayed on all day. I also want to swatch Rapture once its in the stores. I didn't buy any of the glosses because I want to try those in store too.

Me too! I have to start working on my garden. Quality tools, soil and seeds ain't cheap! :sheep: I honestly have enough MU, plus some. After this TF haul, I'm taking a long break from makeup splurges. I'll only be repurchasing the items I use most often, like mascara, brow products, primer, concealer and foundation...I do most of my bulk cosmetic shopping from Nov-May every year. There is science/mathematics behind why I do that! While I want all of the new stila lippies, I will most likely only get 1 or 2.

Because of mixed reviews, I get really confused about items I'm interested in buying. I'm going to try it, but if I don't care for it, back it goes! I think you should try the orange shade, just to see how it works for you this time around :)

I got my MUFE palette and my UD blush. Both are beautiful. I swatched the blush as soon as I opened the box. It stayed on the back of my hand for a a few hours until I washed it off. I purchased Bittersweet and I think I will get one more. Blush isn't really my thing. However Bittersweet was too pretty to pass up.I'll post a review of the actual MUFE product when I use it this weekend. Here are my initial impressions. It's heavy. For a cardboard palette it is heavy. If a company is going to do a cardboard palette this is the way to go. I can already see myself packing this and my Sonia Kashuk matte palette for a weekend and having everything I need. I can't wait to dig deeper into it and put her to work.

Geeez----I still haven't worn mine. I need to stop buying for a minute and start wearing some of these things!!!!
that's how i feel!! i wanted cola too but passed as i knew TF was a'coming! it arrives TODAY!

btw, the BB shimmer brick in nectar is a spot on dupe for one of the peachy shades in the glorious TF palette! i almost bought the BB brick as i am going through a highlighter addiction ATM, so glad i swatched both at same time and of course dear bobbi lost out!!

btw, i really like the EL BG highlight, at first I was on the fence but now i'm loving it!

any new highlights i need to know about?!? still dealing with move, place fell through so we are in limbo! xx

I think Bittersweet is one of the prettiest purple blushes I've seen yet.

Not yet. I went a bit cray with the makeup bags. I'm going to wait until Friday before I even look at another Target.

I bought Melon Pop and it is seriously perfect! For what it's worth, I only have two blushes, including this, but I've tried and returned a lot. Like a lot lol. I'm keeping melon pop. I just posted in the Tom Ford thread, but what y'all's (totally a word, right) opinion too. I bought UD Fireball which is so special. But I also ordered Tom Ford Golden Peach. How similar do y'all think these are? Golden Peach is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and I can't decide if I'll return it unopened or not.

Fireball

Golden Peach
Personally, I think they're very different. for multiple reasons: UD has a very strong shift and is a powder. So depending on application and angle, it shifts pink/peach. TF is a cream and just peach, not duochrome. However I'm pretty sure it's very glam and shiny thus the shine you see at the top of the swatch. T's swatch of fireball isn't that accurate to me tbh. Maybe it's just my phone. The top of fireball swatch looks like lighting/reflection from the camera yet in person it's a beautiful shift. I don't have many other shadows with such a strong duochrome. Also, TF's cream shadow will wear much longer. I have fireball and intend on picking up golden peach. :) hth!

Those who use EL Double Wear, do you find it sticky? I'm wondering if that's just how it is (super annoying) or if it's because of the primer I used, Smashbox's Hydrating one. I ordered it online from Nordstrom and used a sample from Macy's this a.m. for the first time, but if sticky is what it does, no thanks. I had swiped a little on my eye lids and they were sticking, drove me nuts! @Medgal07 @jenise I think you both use it...
