I wonder if we saw the same video! Jaclyn Hill uploaded a tutorial for a blue smokey eye and she used ABH PH and it just looked so gross upon zooming in. I'm like, Jaclyn-- no. no.

It makes me really, really, hesitant to buy and MUG or Morphe Products. They're *so* raved about on YT by all the big bloggers, who all have coincidentally the same products and the same positive comments about them. I just get nervous. I want to believe they're great products but I just don't know. I keep building up a MUG cart filled with their foiled shadows and normal shadows but I always chicken out last minute.

I have two Morphe eyeshadow palettes and I love them. I have not been able to replicate them for the price (under $30 for 35 shadows)

I do have to use an eyeshadow primer, but they are awesome! I've got the 35N and the 35B

Agree. I bought two, falling pretty hard for the hype. I got Heathers and Pure Hollywood. I despise them. Everything about them. The cheap packaging that rubs off, the formula, how it wears, etc. That's $40 just sitting in my drawer. :( I've definitely learned my lesson though. I'm a lot more cautious about buying into the IG/YT hype. I am so wary of those types of bloggers now, unfortunately.

Return them! If I don't like how a product performs, then back she goes, I have no issue asking for a refund or exchange even if I sat on it for a month before actually using it... Makeup is expensive so it's gotta be worth it for me

Dolls Kill seems to have a lot of LC and Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks in stock. Lime Crime's Rave is on sale for $17 (from $20). They don't have the new LC shades though yet.

Off topic but they seem to have a lot of the Ardency Inn products on sale too.

Oooh pretty, I've been looking at Carina lately and it's just too hot of a shade to resist... Do u have any others from ABH??? I have Vintage and Potion myself and I love both but I'm ready for a summer bright

I don't have anything else from ABH. I might've gotten something for gratis years ago, but if I wasn't wowed by something I would give it away. Carina is a keeper though!"

I decided on Love Good, Evil Queen, and Tiana. Now the waiting begins...   Carina looks great on you, Twiggy. Soooo, is your phone case a chocolate bar? It's so cute and makes me want to bite into a some chocolate.

Thank you! And yes, my phone case is a chocolate bar. Haha. I bought a small Too Faced palette because this case was on it. I haven't even used the palette, I just wanted the case!

Oh trust me! I am the biggest advocate of returning products i don't like. I have no shame in that. I know a lot of people like to "shame" others into not returning products... (I've seen it sooo much on the Sephora "beauty talk boards" or whatever the heck that is.) but honestly, that is not realistic. Especially not if I'm spending *my* money and it's not going to get used. However, I ordered from ABH which seemed like a hassle to return to-- and I think I've sat way past the deadline to return them :( Partially because I chucked them in my drawer in a fit of annoyance and completely forgot about them until just now! So, totally my fault this time around.

A lot of people were complaining about it on IG. I wonder if they have a lot of repeat customer. I will never be one. Lol.

Makes me wonder too...

I only re-purchase their brow wiz because it's through sephora and their CS has always been prompt and professional since I've started writing them on FB when an issue arises. I wish I could find a great dupe for it. I've heard NYX has a good one. I guess I should try it before I knock it.

Haha, more like-- what *wasn't* my issue! sigh! I put the tube in my purse once and the packaging was already wearing/scraping off. My KVD ones are $1 cheaper, and have held up to way worse-- and I wouldn't say her packaging is luxurious or super nice by any means. But the designs on the bottle don't scrape off. The formula is probably one of the worst liquid lipsticks I've tried. I know that sounds suuuper dramatic. But, that's how I felt. It sank into lip lines like no other LL I've tried.It made my lips look sooo raisiny and dry even if it didn't felt painfully drying. It crumbled away and wasn't "kiss proof." It didn't survive light eating/drinking. It wore away in the center of my mouth in less than three hours to give me that dreaded ring around my lips. Ew!

However! everyone is different! You might like it. If it's easy for you to return and the return policy is good-- I'd say try it. There are some people who do like this product. I am really passionate against it.

Thank you! I will need to check into this for suuuuuure!  I like the pencil because it doesn't have the standard point that wears down, the tip is actually oval shaped width wise to help create more even strokes I have two of her liquid lippies and haven't had any issues yet... Potion and Vintage work for me but I wanted a summer bright like Carina or Sweet Talker but now I'm scared lol... Haha, more like-- what *wasn't* my issue! sigh!
