Ooh I guessed right about the app exclusive. Too bad I decided to skip. Just too many wants. Hope you got it. Sorry I didn't see the post but for future reference probably 12am pacific/3 am eastern.

Heck yes you did! The last time they did this it was a lame sunscreen set or something when everyone thought it would be the new Pat McGrath eye sets.

I'm really liking the new Marc Jacobs bronzer! I think I'll be returning the Nars Sunwashed Diffusing bronzer in Laguna. Now that I have the MJ, I don't ever see myself using it.

I've just started using bronzer so I hope no one minds me asking an application question in this thread. What's the correct way to apply bronzer? I've seen so many different recommendations - 'where the sun hits you', in the shape of an E. I've been applying it at my hairline, temples, jaw, across the bridge of my nose but I don't know whether it goes on the cheekbones or underneath them? I assume that blush would go on top of the bronzer and then highlighter at the very top of the cheekbones. Help! Thanks

Cheekbones, cheeks, I just put it where my blush would go:cool:

Btw - you should really check out the Nars Sunwash bronzer in Seaside. Not that you need another bronzer, but I know you were humming and hawing about TF ultimate in Gold Dust. I've been wearing Seaside every day this week and I find it similar (and gorgeous!!).

I put mine in the hollows & then use a blush lightly on the apples of my cheeks. I also do the sides of my nose & high on the forehead by the hairline & bottom part of chin. Having said that, everyone should put it wherever it's flattering to them lol :)

What does Seaside look like on?

It's warmer than Laguna, and I know you like your bronzers on the cooler side, but it is incredibly natural. I can see why Nars listed this one as the lightest one since it is so natural looking but can be built up. It honestly just gives me a beautiful sun kissed natural glow. I absolutely love it!

Warmer scares me a bit but I totally trust you! :flowers:

First Sephora sale haul (not sure if I will get more). A lot of basics...

marc Jacobs le bronzer - last one in store

abh brow wiz

kvd trooper

UD all nighter

Smashbox mauve wife (wanted to try these)

Tf shadow insurance

Becca champagne pop - this is part of a gift for someone

Becca first light primer - wanted to try this too

I was originally going to purchase a couple of $$ products but rethought that strategy. May still go back for more. Oh and the free tote has a horrible chemical stank. Airing it out right now.

You know ur over makeup yet still a junkie when....ur Sephora sale order is under $200 **shocking** lol I honestly barely used my goodies from the last fall sale **hangs head in shame** n since I feel like dwindling down to "needs" vs wants/wanna try I made some good choices:
Doir Luminizer 001 & 004
Marc Jacobs mascara n Peacock (has anyone tried Mac color'd mascara shades???)
Nars matte concealer
Sephora collection lip stain (burnt sienna)

Yall I even abandoned my VIBR-ness n now just a VIB!! oooooh the agony **cue kim k ugly cry n wall slide**

I actually purchased Seaside and Laguna since I wasn't sure which I would like and returned Seaside. Not because there was anything wrong with it but because it reminded me a lot of the TF Terra which I already had. I thought Laguna would look more like Gold Dust since it's warmer. LOL. I'm glad that you're enjoying Seaside.

Anyway, now that I have the MJ bronzer, my bronzer shopping is over.

The only item I want is a Pat McGrath
kit. But, sometimes I feel like I can just use my Tom Ford duo in Night Sky and just use a blue MAC multipurpose gloss (forgot the name of it) from a LE collection.

I'm also tired of the cheap packaging because my products are drying up. I use the Skin Fetish almost everyday and the highlight side has become dried out. Also, my lipsticks are almost totally dried up. I'm glad I didn't back them up.

Wow, that's crazy! Kind of glad now that I didn't impulse buy in any of her launches. I really wanted for people to love her stuff though since she's so iconic... *sigh*

Not Sephora, but I cannot get any search to work for Mac Min Liu collection. It just tells me it's too short to search LOL. Is there a thread anybody?
