I got a bunch of random makeup today :p From Sephora I got the Marc Jacobs new eyeshadow in O Yeah & it's soooooo pretty on!!! I LOVE these kind of es shades. Also got the new Shiseido micro liner in the espresso/dark brown & LOVE it too. It makes the prettiest thin tightline which I think is so natural pretty for everyday & no makeup days. It didn't bother my contacts & stayed perfectly on through running & a bike ride in some rainy spritzing today.
The two products looked fabulous together. Just ordered the black shade in the micro liner from Nordies as it keeps selling out on Sephora.

Got the new Blondes Mac lipstick in the red & it is gorgeous on. Kind of matte but a good matte & it stayed true red on my lips & didn't come off at all drinking water & coffee. I hate the tacky packaging but LOVE this true red color.

Also got a sample of the new Nars mascara & it did nothing for my lashes.

Oh I've been looking for a new eyeliner and will certainly check it out when I order the Pat palette.

Happy Belated Birthday to all the birthday ladies!! Hope you had great days!!

Thank you [MENTION=96587]Shars[/MENTION] :flowers:

Got my invite for the Rouge event too. Too early on Sat am! I have my Zumba class. If memory serves me, they have the preview items available online too. So no biggie aside from the social aspect.

It really is too early! But my friend and I are heading to the Makeup Show in Orlando that day and the venue is nearby a Sephora so we're just going to kill two birds with one stone. I'll try to remember to take pics and post them here when I get a chance.

Is it a mauve shade?

Happy belated birthday fur4elise!

I am so annoyed b/c I was excited to get my hands on the CoverFX Power Play concealer and it's the wrong damn shade. I looked at insta photos but I also looked at the CoverFX shade guide and they said my shade would be G Medium 4. I'm not an instagram model so I don't need my concealer to be 3 shades lighter than my skin. They want me out here looking like a damn fool. Back it goes.

ETA: Happy belated birthday to shadowaddict as well. I can't keep up obviously. :hehe:

Thank you guys for the birthday wishes.

I spent Sunday being lazy & eating Godiva chocolates my daughter's best friend sent me. She is 29 & I've known since she was 5 so she's pretty much family. I think since it was my birthday that was a good enough excuse for a book & overdose of sugar.

I love the chocolate strawberries, happy b-day.

yes it was this morning

I promised myself that I was done attending these events. However, I promised my friend that I would go with her. The bag they gave out was actually rather nice but not nice enough to make me get up that early on my day off. :doh::doh: I was hoping for some skin care sets but all they had was one from Drunk Elephant. Oh well! I'm sure they will start to roll out in stores soon. I'm really hoping for one from Caudalie.

The event was a waste of time to me. I figured it would be but I felt the need to go in case they had something I wasn't expecting them to have. I actually saw the new Natasha Denona palette and man is it underwhelming. I'm well aware that swatches don't always indicate how a product will perform but holy crap. It's taken some self control not to use my rouge reward yet, but I feel like a lot of great stuff is coming up and I can use it for that. The Marc Jacobs highlighter looks great even though I had sworn off highlighters and I cannot wait for those new Huda shadow palettes. That Pat McGrath palette is still on my mind, but I am trying to forget about it. Is there anyone nice enough to buy the palette and just send me the box. That's really the only reason I covet it. :hehe:

I finally understand people's frustration with missing samples. I never thought I experienced this. But maybe I never noticed. I guess I just didn't remember what I add to my order. I couldn't even remember what I had ordered when my box arrived let alone the samples. However, I was very suspicious when I saw a Benefit sample in my box. I'm very reluctant to try Benefit products so I decided to look up my order history. I picked a Replica sample! What is annoying is the Replica sample is in my purchased list.
Anyway, turns out I ordered the Natasha Denona Safari palette. How could I forget that. LOL. In my defense I've been crazy busy at work. Also bought the Laura Mercier Hidden Gems??? I think eyeshadow palette. I think I might like the one I saw on Nordstrom too. Dark something. If I saw that one first I may have purchased that one instead so now I have some thinking to do. I may have to go check it out before I dive into this one but I may not be able to resist. It looks so pretty. Also bought the Charlotte Tilbury Bar of something highlighter palette.

Oh so many good things coming out. Tough decisions ahead.

IDK if I've said this already but everyone needs that Laura Mercier glow powder. Everyone.

I used my Rouge reward yesterday and the order should be here tomorrow. I got the green and blue Huda mini palettes and 2 Pat McGrath glosses. I've stayed away from them because they seem pretty sheer, but I figure why not if I'm using the reward? Plus everything on my wishlist was way more expensive and I didn't want to pay a large balance.

For a couple of months I thought my skin was changing because...well, I'm getting old. After a few hours my skin would get really shiny and I thought it was either age or the fact that it's hotter than satan's ass here, but I finally figured out it was the Huda primer. I went from the MJ Coconut primer to the Tatcha to the Huda and the shiny problems started when I was using Huda and I never noticed. Like, my skin is a desert so unless I'm sweating like crazy I should not be shiny. The huda primer smells great and feels great, but it is a moisturizer. I am back on the Tatcha now and I have zero problems.
