All Things Beautylish

[fur4elise]

Yesterday Nordstrom announced a furlough for executives with a pay cut. So despite the sales, people are definitely spending less especially on luxury and non-essentials.

This was my essential for the week.


My devilish dog claimed my one pair of slippers as chew toys. Slippers are essential for my telecommute!

I mean NM and saks gave 25% off
that NEVER happens!

That's exactly what I'm saying. You may get a code for $50 off $200 purchase or once every year they may have a sale that includes beauty but I have NEVER seen any of them offer 25% off and almost never in the spring time. Well we'll see how things go. I for one don't need anything and won't buy just because of a sale. As VAL4M said, there's too much uncertainty surrounding jobs and how long this elephant will take to leave the room. I hope people are being wise financially even if they feel they need some retail therapy to lift their spirits.

I totally agree. This is where I give thanks for having been part of the low/no buy group. A few years of practice has curtailed my impulse buying and "retail therapy." I have to say all of a sudden I am more aware of all kinds of consumption and use in our household. And that could be because when I went to the grocery store yesterday, the things that were once plentiful are gone and there are limits on other staples, like eggs.

Just like VAL4M I am super thankful to still have my job and to be working. However, I am super concerned about my student assistants. Thankfully, the university is doing all it can to provide support. They even started a hardship fund.

Same! I really haven't been purchasing much of anything in terms of beauty/luxuries. I felt so lucky and blessed to find toilet paper the other day, eggs, rice, and Pasta today that i'm careful with how much I consume..As you said, i'm thankful that I have a job as well.

Sonia G ~ The Walnut Brush Holder -
Bespoke and chi chi expensive at $185

I love the idea of this, but it is completely out of my budget!

Same! while I loved Sonia G, the brush holder is just not a practical purchase for me.

 

[lenchen]

Totally. This should be a Gift With Purchase for the brush sets.

Agreed!

 

[VAL4M]

Sonia G brushes are up Face Pro and Sky eyeshadow brush set (and also sold individually) i did buy 5 at last was always solding out so fast!

Oooh! Brush Envy! I still have one payment left on the Sky Eye set I purchased in February so I am not allowed to partake *sad panda*. And I am being careful with my spending too. But I am happy for you! Hope you love your new babies!

I didn’t want to purchased any until i could add ALL the brushes i wanted and it finally happened today my last purchase was a year ago (on the beautylish website) so timing not great but i was semi good for a couple of months

I just noticed the restock. I usually get another of my favorite with when there is a restock but I haven't really been making up really so I'm a bit unsure. I may just pass. I know I was kind of just discovering the merits of the mini booster when I cooled off with making up. Really it was before I was staying home. I was just busy and could not really get to my eye make up too much. But I remember starting to use that brush a few different ways.

Sky Face Set from Sonia G. restock on Tuesday, and the brushes will be available individually then as well.

Has anyone tried the new Wayne Goss lipsticks? Mine arrived yesterday and I was able to test them today. If you've seen any of videos or swatches and thought, like i did, that several of the colors look very, very similar, you'd be right!

I have Amaryllis, Lotus, Dahlia, and Lily. I can see subtle differences when i swatch them on my hand but, on my lips, they are almost identical. One is more peach, one more brown based, and the other is just a little deeper. Lily is the only color that differs - it's more mauve pink based and very pretty.

The formula is phenomenal. It glides across the lips and leaves a beautiful shine to the lips.

I'll be keeping Lily for sure and one of the others.

I would recommend checking this out just keep in mind how similar the colors are.

BTW, as a reference, i have almost no color in my lips.

Thanks! I was planning on Lily when they restock. Do the lipstick have any fragrance?

They have a slight, mild scent. I didn't smell it at all when I had it on but do smell it when I'm close to the bullet. I'm not sure how to describe it but it isn't over the top.

Did you get any glosses too? I will stay away from the glosses due to the mint flavor. I don't need tingly lips. If I wanted bigger lips, I would get a filler.

No, I didn't get any of the glosses. From some of the reviews I've seen, they have a mint scent but aren't tingly.

Wayne Goss ~ The Artist Collection - $175



The do remind me of calligraphy brushes. They will be a skip for me. I love the SG brushes I have, and don't see where I would use these in my makeup routine.
