I couldn't resist the cute little vintage Bourjois pots I saw in Tallinn. My picks of the bunch were Ashes of Lilies eyeshadow (shade is called 04 Noir Precieux) and Ashes of Roses blusher (54 Rose Frisson).

Those tiny pots are gorgeous! They would go nicely with a bottle of L'Aromarine fragrance!

Those are absolutely adorable! I think I would have to buy them all if I ever saw those in real life. I just bought some necessary stuff from Lancome recently. They did a nice makeover on me to go with my newly growing in silver hair. Very peachy-pink & delicate, which suits me now. I was surprised how nice they made me look, lol! My hair used to be dark and I wore completely different colors in clothing and makeup.

What a fun thread! These days it seems easier to plop down dollars on makeup than on fragrance. Yesterday I bought a Nars Jungle Red lipliner for my handbag and a Smashbox eye shadow in Cabernet.

I just recently purchased this:

In Beauty Queen. I like it. The color is buildable and it doesn't seem to dry my lips out like some stains tend to. But my all-time favorite stain is Urban Decay Lip Envy in Greedy. Perfection.

I've made quite a few make-up purchases recently. It must be some kind of crazed frenzy for more and better!

- Maybelline Full n' Soft Mascara in black
- Clarins Waterproof Eyeliner (black)
- Clinique Cream Shapers (in Egyptian and Bright Gold)
- Revlon Colourstay foundation.

My mum is also a mad Nutrimetics lady. She LOVES ordering their stuff from the catalogue each month. I put a few things for myself in the latest order: liquid eyeliner, coverstick, loose powder and foundation primer.

Looking at it all, I realise I've really splashed out this month!! Oh dear

My latest purchase was a bit of a challenge as I have oily skin. For YEARS I have been using Cornsilk pressed powder as I don't really use foundation on a daily basis as it is too heavy for my skin. I didn't realize that Aveda made a pressed powder as well. For awhile, I was using the MAC blot powder which is nice but sometimes it's not always convenient to get to a MAC store. So I broke down and got the Aveda pressed powder in Honey. Well, I am so pleasantly surprised! And it even has a little bit of coverage too (the Cornsilk and Blot Powder were translucent) And at the end of the day, my face doesn't feel like the Exxon Valdez crashed into it hahahahaha. Two thumbs up for sure!

Today I bought:

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear loose powder (for blemish prone skin)
Physicians Formula blemish healing concealer

I also got a trial size Murad's Acne Complex Kit. I'm really looking forward to trying that out. Maybe it'll be my miracle cure I've been looking for to help w/ my adult acne.

I got a selection of Stila Lip Glazes in a cute little case from Santa (I know it's not a purchase, but actually it was, since I'm the breadwinner who funds Santa in our house!). It's a little rainbow of lip colors. Fun!

P.S. Cologne Junkie..the Murad kit is very good. Still, I recommend you try the Alpha Hydrox brand of cream for your adult acne. It's done wonders for my skin, at a great price...pm me if you want me to send you a sample. And no I am in no way affiliated!

Has anyone else tried the new Cover Girl Outlast Lipstains? I was in Walgreen's last week and they were Buy One, Get One 50% off. I bought Bit o' Blossom and Plum Pout. Am I ever pleasantly surprised!
I love lipstains as a general rule, anyway, but usually I have to buy higher-end brands. I find these Cover Girl lipstains very comparable to the old Urban Decay Lipstain 'markers'. The first application looks very natural but they are buildable color. They don't dry my lips out at all and I do not discern any nasty fragrance or taste. Yay for Cover Girl! I'm already planning to go back and get two more.

My last visit to the duty free, I wanted so much to buy a few Dior lipgloss but kept telling myself better save that money for some new perfume!

Bought 2 CoverGirl Lash Blast Waterproof Mascara online and did the road test. It doesn't smudge, run or clumps and I am very happy with the result. I have been using the Maxfactor Calorie 2000 Aqua Lash since I was 15, but it is getting harder to find nowadays. I think I will continue to buy Lash Blast if MF2000 extinct.

Laura Mercier Eye Book - Ha! It has all the "right" colour!

I have to post a big rave for the Chapstick True Shimmer lip balms! I have the Botanical Berry and the Peppermint Rush (still searching for the tropical flavored one).

The Berry one has a slight pinkish shimmer, the Peppermint has a bluish-silver shimmer. They feel really good on the lips, are not drying, and taste and smell good too! And CHEAP! They cost about $2.50ish. love them!

Well, I have some department store gift cards I got for the holidays.... I guess I could get some new lipglass or liquid eyeliner I've been looking at from the MAC counter. Or, I could suck it up and renew my MAC discount card so I don't have to pay that retail price and I could use my gift cards on fragrance (yeah, much better idea)

Lip gloss is one item that has never correlated quality with price, imo. I splurged on a few Chanel Glossimers awhile back and they were heavy, sticky, gloopy - ugh. The $2 Lipsmackers (esp. the Dr Pepper one!) are still the best I've found.

I'm posting about what I didn't buy.

I was proud of myself for sitting on my hands as long as I did the other day when Bare Escentuals Minerals offered a $97 Today's Special Value on QVC. A similar kit with different colors and brushes will arrive for an additional $97 every three months and dagnabbit, I was dying to get it, but couldn't afford it and have quite a bit already. I have not felt that way about buying any perfume in a long time, my mouth was literally watering, and I am so amazed at the self control I showed. My hand reached for the computer many times during the day, but I didn't go through with it. I am addicted to that line of makeup and the colors, wow, it's like being a kid in a candy store.

Thank you for listening.

Clinique Soft Shimmer eye shadow-- a pearly white. Clinique discontinued my favorite pink in a duo, Be Mine. I started using that because Shiseido discontinued my original favorite pink in a duo, Shell. What's a gal to do? Shiseido has the silkiest formula, too.

After taking a detour on Crayfish's tea perfume thread, I ended up ordering a set of two lip balms from SalonTea: The Writer (chai) and Society Hostess (vanilla black tea). They're creamy, and they smell nice, but I don't really get "tea" from them. Hostess smells like sugar cookies, and The Writer smells like cinnamon. (They also don't work very well as a solid perfume! )

I have recently purchased:
MAC Dame Edna Gladiola lipstick and Possum Nose Pink gloss. These were a sudden and stress-related mistake. Boyfriend ogling beer wench at Renaissance Faire? The solution is obviously violet-based fuchsia lipstick and coral gloss.

Successful purchases:
Strawberry Blonde lipgloss. The return of the fabled Strawberry Blonde, in lipgloss formula. Lovely.
Quick Tease lipgloss. Migrates to lip line.

Coming soon: Date Night.

MAC and Nars are the only cult lines available here. I was never a MAC user until I realized that I needed to become one.

YSL Rosewood 66 pure lip color.
I dont know why I haven't bought this before. It's far superior to the dusty rose I have been wearing from Shisedo for ten years. I am slowly trading out all my old Shisedo and MAC for YSL. I really love their make-up.
And Givenchy Matte Must-Have Beige eye shadow. A really non cakey matte with great opacity.

I bought the new la Laque Fever lipgloss from Lancome in Plum Wave. I wanted to wear it a few days before posting about to see if it is as long lasting as they say. Six hours may be pushing it a bit, especially if drinking or eating anything, but it IS pretty long lasting (about 4 hours!). It did not dry my lips out at all either. All in all I'm very happy with it.

Last year, I was looking for some Jicky at our local mall. The Guerlain counter was completely out of Jicky, but I got suckered into trying their lipsticks. Well, last month, for the second time in my life, I actually used a whole tube till it was empty! (Often times I'll lose my lipstick, or it'll start to cake before I'm finished with the tube. The only other tube I've managed to hold onto till it was gone was Physician's Formula something or another that my roomie had given me because it didn't work on her.) So, I went back there and bought all of their remaining tubes of Rose Entetant. (All three of them.) I hate it when colors that I like are discontinued.

I ended up sampling Jicky thru a generous Basenotes member instead.

I had Monday off work and my fiance and I went out for lunch and then we walked around the mall for an hour or so. We ventured into Ulta and I started looking at their brand name cosmetics. I picked up the lightest shade of their Illuminating foundation for 12.50 and I love it! Nice coverage, but it makes my face look slightly glowy. Two thumbs up from me.

I went into a little independently owned boutique that sells Clinique and bought the purple bottle of eye makeup remover and inquired about that discontinued pink/brown duo that I like alot, Be Mine. They had three left, and I bought two. I'm pretty stoked about that, and that I could support a local business instead of going to the local dept. store. I'd never seen that boutique before, I'll have to go back!

Now to just find an independently owned boutique that carries vintage and niche fragrances!
That's cool that you found your favorite shadow combo, though, SF. You should be stocked up for awhile now? I used to love this online boutique called Who's The Fairest? and ordered from them quite regularly until they closed shop in 2004. Still really miss this blush stick they had called a 'jelly stick'. I forget which shade I was enamoured with, but it was a berryish shade and I loved that stuff on my lips. Now I try all kinds of lip stains, etc... but still sometimes lament the loss of my jelly stick.

Yep, I am stocked up! Shiseido has this lipstick they keep threatening to discontinue and I have to be in the right store at the right time if I'm to get one at all...There is actually an apparently famous vintage/niche shop in Oregon's very own Portland called The Perfume House. I haven't been up there yet, but have perused the website and they appear to sell Tabac Blond edt. Is it true??? Can it be so????? The website also claimed to stock No. 22 edt and I was STOKED, but alas, they do not (as I suspected) but Chanel in San Francisco will ship it for $15.

The little boutique I went to stocked Chanel No. 5, Chance, and Coco Mlle. and all manner of Estee Lauder. They did not do decants, in fact the SA didn't know what a decant was, bless her heart. I just don't like asking for 'samples,' do I need to get over myself or what! "Could you make me a decant" sounds so much prettier, heh heh. All the gals in there were so nice and friendly.

Kevyn Aucoin The Rouge Hommage lipstick in Control. The case is shiny red & black (my favorite), the top is magnetic (it'll stay capped in my purse), and Control is described as a deep chocolate brown shimmer. It's sheer & not overpowering, which is just how I like it.

Lancome is having a GWP at my Dillards ... I picked up a Dual Finish powder in Almande III. It's not my usual color (I've worn Matte Buff II forever) and now I'm a little worried that I should have just stuck to my old faithful.

It's not makeup, but I also bought a new Mousse Radiance self-foaming cleanser. I love that stuff!

Last Saturday I got Sue Devitt Microaquatic Blue Anti-Aging SPF 30 Protection Primer with soothing blue algae extract and natural crystals. If you have rosacea this stuff is a must-try.

I also picked up By Terry Rose de Rose Sheer Liquid Blush. A little of this stuff goes a long long way so the pump bottle should last at least a year.

I'm on the lookout for a new mascara that goes on easily and doesn't smudge.

I'm trying out the whole mineral makeup thing. As a natural born sceptic, it's so hard to go with that hype.. but hey, here I am. After trying some samples from About Face/The She Space, I got full sizes of a blush, two eyeshadows and "Cashmere Stockings" finishing powder. The verdict: some are great, some not so much.
The finishing powder thing is not for me. It does nothing that I can see, and adds another complicated and unnecessary step to my routine.
Eyeshadows seem good quality, but I'm having trouble with the texture in practice. It seems to fall off in an instant. Some shades are better at sticking around than others, though, and the range of colour selection is am-ah-zing. Also, the owner is an absolute doll, and she threw in a free full sized eyedshadow for me. Generous!
The blush is my favourite; subtle, perfect for my colouring, sticks around, buildable - love.
I'm not a fan of the packaging, though. No sifter top, so do not drop. Also, shipping (granted, international) took almost two months. Now that's not the company's fault, obviously, but it does mean I'll think twice about ordering regularly from them.

I'd like to explore more of their line, but I'm not sure if I have the patience what with the slow shipping. Pity, as they might have some real nice stuff at a good price.

Yesterday I got OPI Clubbing Til Sunrise nail polish.

In the 80's I had a Leichner nail polish in Tango, which was a flaming orange pearl shade that looked gold in certain kind of electric light. I have been looking for a look-a-like shade for years. Clubbing Til Sunrise is the closest I have found so far.

I just bought Prescriptives Photochrome Light Adjusting Compact Makeup SPF 15. It comes with a little sponge and seems to go on sheerly and with good coverage. Hopefully, this will work well for the summer months when I just like a dab of coverage and a little bit of slightly shimmery powder or bronzer. This is my first makeup purchase from Prescriptives.

[I tried to sniff Calyx while I was at the Prescriptives counter because it had been years, but the extremely young SA kept insisting that Sheer Calyx is what I wanted to sniff and that it was the same thing anyway. She seemed like she was afraid she'd get into trouble if she let me sample the original Calyx, which made me wonder how strongly the SA's are pushed to sell the new stuff when customers ask for the old. If they don't want to actually sell the old stuff, why not just retire it? Ok, rant over.]

Back to the Prescriptives counter...I bought this wonderful transluscent loose powder called Magic, and it really is. It hits your face like a cold mist before it turns to the lightest veil of powder. I'm in love with it. And incidentally, it really is an effective, sheer face powder. The other thing they had that I didn't buy but I keep thinking about, is a motorized mascara. The wand turns by tiny battery power to curl and darken your lashes simultaneously. I think the battery runs down about the same time the product runs out. I can't justify such a thing as a throwaway. But it did a great job, and the idea of it amuses me no end.

On clearance at CVS, I found an Almay all natural light foundation makeup (in a smaller one ounce size) for under $4! Pretty good stuff too. Very pleased with that find. I don't know why, but I have a hard time buying just one thing at a time. I always want to get something to go with it. Probably some mild form of greed. Can't afford to be too greedy. So I got a Covergirl mascara which was also on sale under $4. Fantastic lash maybe? In a pretty and curvy red tube. Works well. Goes on smooth, and I like the brush. Can't remember the exact name of either item. What a great sale! I should have gotten some eye shadow while I was at it.
