I'm going to put up a sign in my lobby. Looks like our rental office was closed yesterday so UPS and USPS just put everything along the mailboxes in the lobby. For the most part that usually works but my package is super small (CG lipstick in Romance, lol) so only God knows where it is. Thank goodness it was $3 on sale.
Ugh. USPS and ups have been lazy lately. If I send something to my address and I'm not home, they used to leave a notice. Now they leave things in front of my door, or leave them at the corner store (wtf?!) and now with sketch neighbors. I usually send things to my parents in SI, but they are out of town for the Holidays. I got my package this morning from the neighbor...only after I called security because Mr. Neighbor answered the door but didn't want to open it.

I'm going to wait until USPS comes later and see if it shows up. As small as it was it should have been in my mailbox with my other Target package. Also, as small as it was it could easily get lost. It's only $3, but it's my $3. LOL.

So, I actually really like Preening. I thought I was going to hate it. I thought it was going to be sheer and awful, but these pastel greens are AWLAYS like that, they ALWAYS need primer. So I used the same color from the mac eye trend palette (literally identical, it's just the cream version of this color!) and it came out perfectly opaque. Wow factor not as much, you shouldn't have to work that hard for a lavender. But I'm REALLY glad I got Preening.





So the top photo, left to right, is Preening on it's own, Super Fresh on it's own, then Preening on top of Super Fresh. And I know I'm really pale, but I swear to you, it's OPAQUE. And light enough to still be pastel on NW13 skin. Well, like NW11 now. I know mint is technically out now, but I was looking for a perfect mint eyeshadow for like 5 years so I don't even care. And it's out in general but it's still usable in combos. Like mint and lavender or mint and coral. And besides, Eff fashion, I wear what I WANT.

Love this--so helpful. I'm enjoying that Spring '15 cream palette so much. It's a great idea to use the green as a base for Preening and light pastels. The Spring '15 lip palette does have echoes of the some of the best colors this Spring too. I'm seriously debating getting the Fall '15 palette now that its up.

I think I'm done with this collection. I ordered some things when it first went up (PB, AG, Siahi, MMG, Shade, and CTH) . If I don't love AG (that's the only think I'm iffy about), I might send it back for an exchange for another fluid line or toward the Fall eye trend palette.

I just stopped by Macy's to see it in person. I picked up Real Redhead today--it's a good MLBB color for me. You really can't tell I'm wearing much of anything, it just adds a little polish. I know I'll get a lot of use from it, but I have several other lipsticks from other lines in this same neighborhood so no BU necessary. Thanks to everyone who posts thoughts, pictures, so helpful!

Those of you who picked up French Tipped nail laquer, how is it? It's pretty but I'm not sure whether I should get it!

I'm wearing PB and MMG here. Sorry for the terrible lighting, I was sitting at my make up mirror and it gives off a cool tone.

This is Silly with Talking Points lip pencil. The brightness of these colors will take some getting used to, but I like them, they're fun.
Stunning! It goes with the liner perfectly

I agree! At first I was really disappointed because I prefer powders and because some of the colors are so sheer. But I've actually ended up using them a LOT as bases. And I've used some of the burgundy and purple CCBs as lipsticks. I know most people don't like lip palettes because it can be an issue getting opaque coverage, but I like them in general because when I go out I'm ALWAYS late so I throw some eyeshadows, lipsticks and blushes into my makeup bag with all my regular stuff (foundation, brushes, etc.) and do my makeup in the car. I have more options when I throw in a lip palette and I don't get that disappointed feeling when I realize the eyeshadows I threw in won't match the lipstick I threw in and the lipstick I threw in won't match the blush I threw in, because the lip palettes can be used as blushes and the eyeshadows are bound to match ONE of the six.

Wearing silly today. I'm sill debating on a lot of lip colors. I'll stop by MAC today to try some colors and hopefully leave with a fluid line. :) If not I'll order online.

Feeling a little bummed after swatching my MMG and Toxic Tale side by side. They're very similar-at least on my arm. I had to stare for a bit to start noticing subtle differences.

How funny....I tried the exact same combo this morning and they are a perfect match
