WELL. That was a disaster!
The girl that helped me out at the freestanding was REALLY helpful! Which, of course, just meant I bought a ton of stuff...
I ended up getting Thrills. When I tried it on at Nordies, I used it right out of the tube, and I wasn't crazy about it... The MUA at the freestanding used a lip brush and sheered it out a little, and I LOVE it. Love love. So I got that (and the retractable lip brush too, haha).
I tried on Splashing, even though I thought it would be milky and settle into the lines in my lips (especially after seeing the lip swatches on Temptalia), but OOPS. I loved it! Sigh. So I got that too.
Easy Lounger, I didn't even try, because I knew I would love.
I didn't try Beachbound. I tried it on my hand and it just looked like shimmer. I have pigmented lips, and I really think it would give me the crackhead look, so I just didn't even try it on.
Surprisingly, I loved Temperature Rising. :/ She lined my lips with it and blended it into the lip with a brush... which was still way bright, but with FoF over it? OMG. Unfortunately, they were out!
So it looks like I'll be placing an order...
I tried Sand & Sun on the eyes with a brush, and I liked it a lot better. I don't have ANY neutral mattes, which I know is not good. I have Jest and Gleam, but those are really my only two pinky-neutral colors, and those are pretty shimmery. I think it's going to look nice with Coral Crepe for a neutral summer eye!
I was going to get Shimmermoss in a pan, but they were out of the pan, so I'm going to have to get that online.
I was also going to get Lucky Green, but they were also out of that in pan. I did get Atlantic Blue - The only blues I own are Tilt, Freshwater, Deep Truth, and Electric Eel (Cool Heat almost counts, even though that's a teal). I like that it's a red-based blue; I have blue eyes, but the fact that it's sort of violet doesn't wash them out too much.
I also grabbed the pore refining primer or whatever it's called - I'm gettng obsessed with having a smoother, nicer canvas to work on, and I have icky cheek pores (especially in this heat!). I also got a sample of the SPF 50 face primer.
Aaaaand I went to Sephora and bought a bottle of the Mat Velvet +. I've never tried it before, so I'm excited to see how I like it!
So that brings my total TTB haul to:
Easy Lounger
Splashing
Flurry of Fun
Hipness
Marine Life
Funbathing
Thrills
Lazy Day
Sweet & Punchy
Sand & Sun
Firecracker
Life's a Breeze
Scorcher
Float on By
And I will be getting Shimmermoss and Temperature Rising online. I already have Humid.
..so basically, I only did NOT get Getaway Bronze, Beachbound, and In the Buff. I'm in TROUBLE.
I will prob tear it up in 3.7 sec to get to my ML and stare at it for a few hours
It was the only thing I wanted from this LE from the beginning, and then the swatches sold me on FoF. I'm excited to see it, and now I'm starting to lemming Lazy Day..
