Pat McGrath Beauty

[fur4elise]

I'm feeling the nudes and the last two vampy colours. Are you gonna bite? I'm committed to being good among all these temptations.

I am not going to bite...I don't do well with true matte lipstick. Instead I added a couple shades of the new Hourglass and Bite Liquified lippies to my list and if I get an extra penny, I'll splurge on those.

Like you, I am trying to be real good. I have been ignoring the Neiman g/c promotion. Just saw Macy's has a bunch of stuff on sale for their Black Friday. AND I was just reading a variety of posts on the Nordstrom early access sale. Sigh. Luckily I do not have a Nordstrom's card. BUT I did add the Diptique 5 mini candle set to my wish list and hope to purchase that on the 21st. I have been wanting to splurge on Diptique and this looks the best way to try. If I do not like a scent I can gift it. They also have 2 beautyblender duo sets with beautycleanser & bag. That is tempting as I have not ever had a beautyblender...seriously...LOL! Other than that I am keeping the purse strings drawn.

I have to go back to ignoring a lot of stuff. I was doing well for the first 3rd of the year but not so much lately lol. I've always wanted to try Diptique candles too. Hope you love them! Re the beauty blenders, I prefer the black ones. I find they're more durable and are easier to get clean. Good luck!

Aaaah! Good to know on the beautyblenders!

I was not so good for the first half of this year...but feel like I have fleshed out my "wardrobe" to where I have lots of fun stuff I am using and really do not have a need for anything more. So I think my spending will naturally taper off and be limited to super special stuff and replenishing essentials.

It's mildly tempting to me because while the packaging is okay, I'm not interested in the shades. It's like been there done that. I do appreciate the bold shades and pigmentation.

I really need to do a purge and downsize on a lot of stuff (clothing, shoes, cosmetics, etc.). I don't even have space for most of the stuff I currently have.

That is exactly where I was at a couple years ago. Too much of everything and lots of good stuff buried and unused. Rather than add more storage to accommodate, I purged across every area you mentioned, no mercy! Then, I redid my storage situation to make it accessible, usable and not overwhelming. Also I put a new rule in place this past year or so: For every one thing in, at least one thing has to go...and more often I find I am removing multiple things for one addition. I bet once you get going you will feel soooo much better.

That's my problem right now. So many gems but my storage situation is less than ideal so half the time I can't even remember what I own! It can get a bit overwhelming too. Right now though I'm going to focus on a massive cull until I can get my storage/display in order. I look forward to feeling less of a hoarder haha!

Sssshhhh! I confesss I still have one hoarder issue...my 15 bins of shoes, boots, flats, heels, trainers, etc...I'm working on it. It's hard to let things go, because I do not beat up my footwear. Except for maybe my trainers and sport shoes (keds, converse, etc.). I wear those into the ground, but still have a hard time letting them go.

I have done great this year, just purchasing a few pairs of driving moccs for work and earlier this week, I ordered a couple pairs of dressier keds on clearance. So, I have to let go of at least 4 pairs of dead flats and kicks, before that packet arrives. LOL! I'm wearing a pair now that will go...just had to get one more wear in...

I hear ya! I had a phase where I was a shoe fanatic as well but I live in the tropics and if you don't wear them everyday they fall apart or start to peel etc. So when I do buy I make sure they're well made and are unique to my "stash". I hardly go anywhere these days except for work so like you, I focus on comfy flats. When one pair is run down then I replace. Enjoy your new additions lol!

I'm considering the nudes but will wait for Sephora if I get it.

Sneak Peek: Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick Swatches

 

[Prettypackages]

I do this all of the time. LOL

This one time my lipstick box was 6ft away but I was lying down and Googled a swatch instead

 

[Prettypackages]

ladies, send your shoes to me!

 

[awickedshape]

LOL Heyyy, [MENTION=62369]Prettypackages[/MENTION]

I do this all of the time. LOL

 

[Prettypackages]

Hey love!!!


So no one bought these early?

 

[lipstickaddict]

I bought the colour blitz trio the second I received the email from Sephora last night and it's a good thing I did! Those sets sold like hot cakes in Canada! I had no idea if they would sell out fast or not. Did anybody else purchase any of these?

I also bought 1995 as the nostalgia was so strong. That year I was 19 and wearing a similar lipstick to death! I'm pretty excited to re-live the moment

Long.. Long time no post.
I got the everything box and I absolutely love the texture and wear of the lipsticks. The shipping needs some work ( took almost 2 weeks to get my order) but I think its well worth it. I've skipped all other brands' seasonal launches in favor of Pat McGrath's launches.
I love all the colors but have been really impressed with the Skin Show trio. Omi is now my go-to MLBB shade.

You do NOT look like you were 19 in 1995!

I bought Omi during the Sephora launch and it is DA BOMB! I mainly got it because it was inspired by Naomi Campbell and also that it's a mlbb shade, and it truly is an excellent mllb shade. I think I should've aimed for the skin show trio instead, but I don't think Flesh 3 would get much use for me. However, I'm strongly considering the Color Blitz trio despite the shades being dupable/common because her lipstick formula didn't disappoint and the three shades are colors that I frequently use, so yeah. Matte, creamy, and velvety? Sign me up!

YES! I bought the blitz trio along with Omi and 1995 and I LOVE love love all of them! The formula is stellar!
