City Color Contour Kit to bronze and highlightcool! i'm excited guys! i'm not sure i'll make it through a year with my collection, but wherever i get to is fine. i think it's ok to repeat, or take breaks to work in new stuff or whatever...it's just for fun!
pretty look kate! i like that you've got your custom blended colour. i noticed the other day that bite have that service available and was thinking i would love to try it out. did it take long to have done? fun process?
hope you are all having a great holiday season!
I agree! Repeats should be allowed for whatever reason the participant deems necessary, after all,
she's the only one impacted by it. I think i'll maintain two baskets, a large one for lipsticks that I use
that will return to circulation after a year, and a smaller basket that will be discarded if my daughter has
no interest in them. Obviously, if they're MAC I'll B2M them.

Thanks Aradhana-------I call it Chanel's Candy Yum Yum.
They have a bronzer called Sun Bunny that is a beautiful highlight on darker skin tones. I quite like their eyeshadows as well and prefer their primer to Urban Decay's.
I'll need a new primer soon---perhaps I'll look into the Too Faced Shadow Insurance!!!
Sephora always has little sets with the smaller sized version which have enough to last a good few months. What I prefer about the Too Faced Shadow Insurance is that it's strong enough to help my eyeshadow last ALL day (and I tend to have 12 hour days by the time I take my makeup off at night) but it doesn't interfere with blending. I find the Urban Decay Primer Potion interferes with blending sometimes.
Well, this is an older version of the palette on the shelf now. Three of the shades have been replaced by new ones and I think I might like the new version more. The transition shade seems more WOC friendly and the glitter bomb shade has been changed out too. The thing I dislike about TooFaced palettes is the huge pans of colors that are too light for me to use. The darker shades are the ones I would use. I have 3 Too Faced palettes: I got one in a swap and two on super discounts at a Nordstrom Rack. One of the palettes had ZERO wear time and several shades broke out of it. That was my first palette and it was a bad. The other two palettes, my only complaint is the issue with the huge pans of the light shades, although the shades could definitely be more vibrant/pigmented. I definitely have to pack it on. I would never pay full price for a TooFaced palette for these reasons, but I am thinking of using a gc I got for Christmas for the SemiSweet palette. That is as far as I plan to venture into TooFaced.
I don't have the SemiSweet palette but I've heard good things about it Sage.

cool i will check out the bronzer. i also prefer their primer to UD's. i can't recall why anymore, but i think i've been using the shadow insurance for something like 7 years. i usually don't have that much loyalty to any product and love changing it up, so i guess it's saying something!

You're welcome! I have 2 Too Faced Palettes - the 15th Anniversary Sephora one and the holiday one from last year (Pretty Rebel). Both of them are extremely pigmented and last on my lids. That said, they are more satin type shades. I've heard that their mattes leave a bit to be desired.
Oh I don't know... I was going to say one b/c I personally don't have a lot of taupe, but then I realized, I can create more than one eye look with one shade of taupe. So I leave it up to you all. I really want ot hear what looks you all create.
I never even got to those---I should be able to fit them in over the course of a year
