Temptalia also has swatches up, and I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews. i will make myself wait until they're in store lol. Tell me more about why you love the primer please. I have a delux sample I haven't cracked into yet and would love to know why you love it so much. Also, how was your vacay!?

I've been curious about this primer, as well as the YSL Touche Eclat Blu Primer, and the Becca First Light priming Filter. I'm still working through my Becca Backlight Priming Filter and love, but I'm always up for trying something new (though I always find myself going back to the Backlight Priming Filter LOL).

FOTD:
* Becca Backlight Priming Filter
* MAC Face & Body- C7
* MAC Pro Longwear Concealer- NC45 (for more coverage on dark spots...I forgot to use my peach corrector)
* MAC Pro Longwear Concealer- NW35 (under eye)
* Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder (under eye)
* Black Radiance True Complexion Contour Palette (used the contour shade and powder highlighter)
* MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder- Dark
* MAC Brow Pencil - Spiked
* Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion- Anti-Aging (sample..doesn't feel any different from the original)
* MAC Eyeshadow- Saddle (crease)
* MAC Eyeshadow - Amber Lights (lid)
* MAC Eyeshadow- Ricepaper (brow highlight)
* MUFE Excessive Lash Mascara - Black
* MAC Lip Liner- Cork
* MAC Lipstick- Ruby Woo
* MUFE Mist & Fix Setting Spray

Fragrance: Nirvana Black rollerball
Nails for the week: OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle

I work from home, and I typically change into loungewear and work in that getup until I change to go to the gym. I thought that getting dressed and putting on makeup would feel counterproductive, but I feel very productive with no desire to get back into bed, especially with Ruby Woo on my lips.

Hello 2017 ~
writing_emoji.jpg
Well, here is my second novel…the first one lives in the 2016 thread. If you feel like a good read you can see it here. ;) I really did try to be less wordy here…LOL! Here goes!

Canvas = Skincare ~ I am pretty happy with what I currently use, primarily Deciem Hylamide & the Ordinary products. I will purchase products I use up. I am on the lookout for a peel and/or manual exfoliant product. I have samples of the boscia Exfoliating Peel Gel and the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment to try out.

Primer ~ I am golden! Hourglass Veil Mineral & Becca Ever Matte Poreless. I think what I currently have will last me well into the year. I would repurchase if needed.

Foundation ~ Estee Lauder Doublewear! :heart: it!!! Right now though, I have a seriously out of place TAN from my Mexico vacation, so I have been mixing sample bottles of darker shades from the summer. Once it fades I will go back to my blend of Soft Tan & Spiced Sand.

Concealer ~ I was working with the EL Doublewear. However, I am still game to try out the tarte Shape Tape…whenever the shades that will work for me are back in stock…on sale…and my tan has faded…I am curious about the new NARS pot concealer…will wait for more real world reviews.

Finishing Powders ~ I am golden here too! I use: Ben Nye Banana, Mehron Colorless Setting & Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder (Radiant Light). For at work touch-ups, I keep my MAC x Chris Chang Prep & Prime Pressed Transparent Powder on hand. Knowing I would get tan on my trip and after reading
reviews @Marsha Pomells , I purchased the Laura Mercier Candleglow Sheer Perfecting Powder #4 Medium and I love it. I plan get #3 Light to Medium, again when for when my tan fades.

I still have several MAC Natural MSF powders I have been seriously working down…but I may B2M those very soon (kind of reaching past date). Other than that I do not need anything.

Bronzer ~ I love all my Guerlain! I also use MAC Natural MSF. I also have several Physicians Formula…I try to reach for those now & again…but will probably dispose of a few just to further declutter. But you know if Guerlain releases something LE that has the glow of the heavens…

Blush ~ I am pretty happy with my eclectic selection: MAC, Ben Nye (These are all matte shades that work well with my shimmery colors and are at a great price point!), Benefit, & Becca. I am a lover of warmer neutrals, latte browns, caramels, corals & peaches for the cheeks. Not so much pinks, purples, or even reds. So if something unique is released, it gets top marks and will work with what I already have I might splurge. I do have 2 Hourglass blush singles in my :heart: list, so those are a maybe come the spring Sephora sale. Benefit also has a new shade Galifornia coming out soon too and
that lands in my preferred colors.

Highlighters ~ A card holding member of HA! I purchased too many in 2016! I am completely happy with all that I have. I have absolutely no need!

Lipliner/Lipstick ~ Prior to 2016, I completely disposed of my entire lipstick, lipgloss, lip balm collection. So, it became a 2016 point of focus. My go-to brands : Urban Decay, Guerlain Rouge G, NARS & KVD liquid lippies! I am excited about the new UD Vice liquid lip formula release and can see buying a couple of these, if they swatch well and get good reviews. If Tatcha re-releases A Plum Blossom, I will splurge on it! I love my Kyoto Red!:heart: LE Guerlain…sigh…be still my beating heart!

NO PRE-MADE EYESHADOW PALETTES!

One exception may be the new Viseart Petit PRO. I love the color selection and the pans can be put into my custom palette, in essence becoming singles. Which is the way I will go if I decide I must have anything new.

Eyeliner ~ I am making a good dent in my existing UD 24/7 collection. Hands down these are my favorite pencil eyeliners. I reach for the dark brown shades: Whiskey, Corrupt, Demolition & Bourbon. If any of those shades get down to nubs I will repurchase.

Mascara ~ I will continue to, when I can, get sample/deluxe sizes of preferred brands (gwp/free samples/points exchange), as I replace my mascara every 3 months or so. I made one high end purchase last year, the Diorshow Iconic Overcurl…I really enjoyed it but do not feel the need to repurchase it.

Brushes ~ Overall, I am not feeling the need to jump fully into the high end brush market right now. My goal is to declutter first. Which means using what I have and letting go of sub-par performing tools. e.g. Scratchy, poor quality, losing bristles/hair, etc. Maybe someday I’ll go crazy some and order a HG brush set…if it exists…seems to me many of you have put your collections together from various brands.

Points of Focus:I indicated in the various categories some of my “lust/must” items…So, I think my one solid point of focus is to stick with the plan I outlined! Yeah! Be super selective, wait for sales but don’t fall prey to the FOMO feels, use what I have, further declutter what I don’t use, etc.

Another focus I touched on in my 2016 post…is to avoid the pitfalls of purchasing drugstore brands…I think of them as the “candy shelves in the checkout lane!” Cheap, plentiful, new stuff all the time, easy to justify purchases…but in reality, you can spend just as much if not more on those purchases! Hypothetical math: 3-7 Revlon/L’oreal/Maybelline/NYX/Colour Pop lipsticks = 1-3 really great high-end lipsticks!

Avoid Mid-Range Madness ~ I am finding the mid-range brands (Mid-range to me = MAC, UD, tarte, etc.) are offering more sales and coupons, so it easier to go in on products I might not normally splurge on full price. This could be a downfall too…so I will proceed with caution.

I think that’s about it. I am still very much loving makeup…so much fun and fun to talk about! And it is definitely fun to get new stuff…However, I am in a great place now where I can to focus more playing and experimenting with what I have and not necessarily adding more. Alright fellow makeup junkies/connoisseurs! Here’s to another year all things beauty!

Joining the Low-Buy!:eek: I've spent more on makeup & skincare in the last 2 years than in the 10 years preceding. :help:(I blame the internet! LOL) Just got the Viseart Warm Matte palette from Sephora after getting the Dark Mattes as a holiday gift. I thought I wanted the Neutral too but I got that cheapie Beauty Treats copy instead because I wasn't 100% in love with the colors like with Dark & Warm. I might get the real one towards the end of this year as I have been reaching for the dupe. Also recently bought several Dr. Gross & Philosophy skincare items.

We're moving to Europe this year so I should be streamlining & decluttering instead of accumulating. I have a perfume collection that I've always fretted over how I'd move safely one day... and now I've got a bunch of makeup & skin stuff to worry about transporting too. arrgh! (What to Fedex to in-laws, What should be okay in freight, What to carry-on etc...I don't have much trust in checked luggage anymore.)

My goal is to only buy like 7 items all year. 5 would be even better. I literally don't need another thing. Well, maybe brow pencils. lolz I hope that reading and checking-in here will keep me honest. Best of luck to everyone!

I was tempted by both of the NARS LE Unfiltered palettes until I realized I am hardly using the LE NARSissist palette I purchased last January! However, I did go for the Sarah Moon Impudique blush. I love it! It is unique and works with blushes/highlighters I already have. ;)

Sorry I have been MIA ladies! I just got back from Mexico Thursday...let's just say re-entry to winter has been hard! Brrrrrr! After 3 full weeks of vacation (just 11 days in Mexico) I go back to work tomorrow. So, I see being MIA for just a bit more until I get back into the swing of things and catch up at work...but I promise a recap under the 2016 thread and a 2017 plan of action in this thread very soon! Everyone is off to a great start! Keep it up!

I'm glad to hear about Impudique! i'm definitely going to get it! and welcome back from Mexico, sounds great!

I've been playing around in my makeup this week, and it's been so much fun! Last night I tried my first smokey eye using the UD Smoked Palette :hehe:. The palette comes with a guide that has several shadow looks, and I tried the "Iconic" look. Wasn't bad but could be better.

As a makeup goal for 2017, I want to find my preferred technique for:

The smokey eye
Perfect red lip
Perfect nude lip
Perfect vampy lip
Cat eye
Colorful eyeshadow look
No-makeup makeup look

I want to play around with each look to practice my technique. My smokey eye was a good first try, and I LOVED wearing my Ruby Woo and Cyber lippies. I also discovered that I need to try a cat eye with a liquid liner as opposed to a pencil, though pencil is better for the smokey eye. I think I've nailed the no-makeup makeup look, but I'm always up for trying new techniques with less product.

Today's FOTD is a colorful eyeshadow look with a nude lip:

* Becca Backlight Priming Filter
* MAC Face & Body- C7
* MAC Pro Longwear Concealer- NC45 (for more coverage on dark spots)
* MAC Pro Longwear Concealer- NW35 (under eye)
* Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder (under eye)
* Black Radiance True Complexion Contour Palette (used the contour shade)
* MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder- Dark
* MAC Brow Pencil - Spiked
* Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion- Anti-Aging
* MAC Eyeshadow- Brown Down (crease)
* MAC Eyeshadow - Sumptuous Olive (lid) (LOVE!!!!!)
* MAC Eyeshadow- Bottle Green (outer V/corner)
* MUFE Excessive Lash Mascara - Black
* Milani Color Statement Lipstick- Teddy Bare (my lips are pretty pigmented, so I dabbed on a little of the Face and Body, and it works wonders)
* MUFE Mist & Fix Setting Spray
*Fragrance: Nirvana Black rollerball
*Nails for the week: OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle

:jawsdown: WOW! 5 - 7 items only...That is admirable! And after my current review and reflections I think could totally be doable! Good luck lady! AND good luck with prepping to move! Are you excited about it? Do tell more...:secret:

Speaking of brows...I completely forgot that part in both posts. 2016 was the year I upped my brow game...meaning I actually made more of an effort to groom them. I have pretty full, dark shaped brows so it takes very little...I purchased the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil and Ready Set Brow Gel when they were released and both products are great. When my Ready Set Brow is used up, I may switch to ABH Brow Gel. I got a deluxe sample of it and find it holds my thicker brows a tad better than the Benefit. When I am feeling more ambitious and want a more dramatic brow, I use MUFE Aqua Brow and an angled brush.

I'm glad to hear about Impudique! i'm definitely going to get it! and welcome back from Mexico, sounds great!
:heart: it!!!
I love love love Estee lauder Doublewear! it's the only foundation I have in addition to 2 tinted moisturizers. I like your goals for 2017!

I swear that stuff stays in place, does not oxidize and now that I have found the right primers, does not look like a messy oilslick by the end of the day! Thumbs Up!

I've decided to amend my low buy resolution, because of a certain lipstick collection (why you screw me over like that MAC?). So I came up with a plan...

Limited edition collections: 5 products or less. If the collection does not pique my interest, straight forward skip.

Staples: I have a number of items that need to be replaced, so concealers, liners, foundation and mascara (not the LE ones by the way), brow wand and my standard blush (Peachtwist) will be replaced when the time comes.

Nail polish: I have too many of those and is giving over 20 bottles away to a few friends.

I don't know if I need to add anything else on my resolution. But I hope there are items that won't want to buy.

Solid plan lady!!! I'm with you on the staples...by the by, I love my Peachtwist...my current pan is on it's last legss! ;) ~ Yup I am straight forward skipping the latest Makeup Masters! And I have to say with the 2016 LE stuffs I did really well...kept it well under 5 items...heck with Mariah I only purchased the powder...You got this!!!

I am going back and forth on The Shining Hour, because of conflicting name of the shades in that palette. Makeup Masters is slowly becoming a one item only collection, Moons of Jupiter is calling me and is WOC friendly (I will not enable in this thread).

If I do have an enabler moment on this thread, post an emoji and I'll get the message. This goes for everyone on this thread, I want to do this low buy.

I sign up every single year, and fail. LOL I just have to buy things to try!! LOL I'll definitely be joining. A lot of your goals make sense. I'll be thinking about what I need and creating some goals.
I'd love to know what a complete brush set looks like and includes. Seriously. I used to buy whatever limited edition brush MAC had (missed a few the last two years because, money) and I want to eventually start collecting Hakuhodo, but that's definitely on the wait list. I'm just happy I finally understand what types of brushes work for my hood.
I'd love to know what brands and stuff you actually had on your wishlist (probably not good for a low buy thread huh), not just to be nosey but I'm assuming it is a well curated list of items that really work.
I recently went through a huge purge, depotted items, sold some prized LE stuff and finally threw away some old items. I became a certified makeup artist and lately, I've been looking at products for practical and multipurpose and not just snapping up every LE or new craze.

I have a set of 7 at home. That's my go to brush kit, I'll take a photo of them when I'm back from work. I've only used 5 of the 7, and tend to replace my brushes when they start to fall apart. I think you'll consider the 7 piece as a standard brush set... Unlike the 36.

I'm in as well. My main weaknesses are lippies and nail polish. I'm going to try and limit my lippie intake to four or fewer for the year. (Back2Mac and chapstick might be another story.) And no more than ten bottles of polish, and only at a discount. Also, no perfume, foundations, shadows, blushes, or brushes for me.
