Love it! I agree that the Alex is a lot sturdier than the helmers too imo. I have a few drawers that are filled with heavy nail polishes and candles and they are very sturdy even when pull almost all the way out.

Here's my setup with the Alex units.

That's so amazing! My dad got me a glass vanity for my birthday and it's black so it matches my room already so now I have to find storage that's black and matches everything so I can store my makeup. I really wished the alex drawers came in black.

I'm totally disappointed in the sundae quad. I am very fair and this baby wouldn't really show up on me. It's strange. I think if you have lightish medium skin it will show better. I found that the lighter shades were not buildable after the second later. It may have been the vintage selection paint pot I used under it but I doubt it. I'll try it again tomorrow. I like that the colors are sheer to medium in pigmentation. Colors usually show on me even if sheer. The sheerness was not a problem for me, personally. I really dislike the packaging on the quads. My quad will not shut. It stays open because of the latch? Anyone else have the same issues? On a bright side, cream soda is lovely and buildable. It's everything I wanted immortal flower to be. It's more coral on my skin. Perfect s mer shade and its pigmented and lovely! I picked up the Veronica plush just because I loved the texture of Betty's.

That's right up my alley, I got rid of IF and I was afraid CS would be like IF. Are you NW or NC? Btw.. DLG looks so pink in T's swatches, isn't it more purplish? (maybe it's my monitor)

It looks like pink pigeon (in the pictures) which I already have 3 of. I guess this kind of color is here to stay for a long time!

In a lot of other swatches it's more purplish (at least on my monitor) and T's swatches are often off so yeah... I don't want T's DLG. :lol:

I just ordered a BU of Prom Princess

Was it sold out before?

I've had my eye on that one, so I'm pretty sure that it didn't go out of stock yet. I feel like ordering it, but I'm wondering if its too similar to the new Burberry Pink Hydrangea? Maybe it's more plum? I'm not sure though so I'm going back and forth...

I couldn't resist trying DLG...kicking myself for not getting a backup. From swatches it looked so hot pink, but you can tell from the tube it definitely is not, much more purple in it. I am in love, it is so opaque, and feels so moisturizing on.

Omg gorgeous! I hope the color turns out like that on me. I don't have as nice as lips as you do though. You lucky girl you :)

....initially I wanted to skip this palette since I do already have Showstopper and Dreammaker.

But now I am reconsidering it.....decisions,decsisions....

It's such an awesome color for NW15, isn't it?

BTW, did you get Caramel Sundae? I'm luuuuuving mine. It's a wonderful neutral palette that works well for cool-toned palies.

PP is such a lovely color for a blush for sure. I wear those shades of blush even when I don't wear any other makeup because its so fresh looking. ;)

I think it will be more on the burgundy magenta side compared to Pink Hydrangea which is more on the pink side. It will be lovely for sure.
