RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

[jemly]

welcome back to the junk drawer of random beauty thoughts and musings. it has been nearly a year, so i think it is time for a rew RT thread ! 

when i'm doing my makeup in the morning, my dog sometimes throws a fit until i move his food bowl over to where i'm sitting. i'm certainly not the diva in our relationship.

That's not bad at all!  Less than a Starbucks.

[somegirl123]

Cool idea! When broken down like that it doesn't seem so scary haha.

I tend to get only 2-3 months out of the UD sprays, maybe i'm using too much....and you don't really use a single mascara for 9 months right?!

[Insomniacmuffin]

lol I was trying to estimate how long something would last if used everyday, but no - I don't use my mascara everyday so likely it wouldn't last that long because it would dry out.

I figured a 4oz bottle of UD setting spray was much less, I'm probably still too high on my guess.. yeh, my face is kinda expensive haha!!

[sabrinas]

Lol my boyfriend may hate me for posting this but it made me laugh, hah!

Afterwards he responded with "the front part" and the next text was "the cheeks" lmao! 

EDIT: sorry guys, image got removed because my boyfriend typed a swear! I guess you can all imagine what it said lol!  

[k617]

LOL what makeup is for "the back part" of your face?!

At least he got it in the end 😉 Good man!

[sabrinas]

Omg I had doubts about my Reddit secret santa but damn, he pulled through!

He got me a mermaid tail blanket, a giant bag of sour patch kids and a $25 giftcard to Sephora.  He wrote on the card that he had no idea about makeup and that he's a gamer guy, but he hopes that what he got me will be sufficient.  I have one more gift arriving from him tomorrow but it says its only .1 lbs lol so I have no idea what it could be.  

I am so happy with the gift though! I was originally nervous because he made zero contact with me and went 5 days past the shipping deadline so I figured he was blowing me off but he didn't! WHAT A SWEET PEA!

[ShopgirlM]

Fun!!! I occasionally do santas through Reddit and they've been hit or miss for me. The miss being I never received a gift but then a kind stranger has generously sent something in place of my crappy santa. 

I did the sock one months ago and I love slipper socks in the winter. My santa sent me 12 pairs of slipper socks and I'm wearing a pair as we speak! So generous. Glad you had fun!!

[alexasteph]

I've heard really good things about the Reddit gift exchanges! I don't use Reddit, but it seems like a really cool community. 

[underwhelmed11]

@alexasteph it can be a cool community...or it can be down right malicious and filled with vile characters. depends on the subreddit and depends on the day!

[sabrinas]

It is a cool community! I feel that BT is more welcoming and friendly though lol.

Not sure if I should post this here or on the question thread...

The Bond NY for Mothers scent has been on the sale page every day for a week or more.  I have never been able to find it in stock.  I'm up super early and check throughout the day.  Usually things that are posted on an ongoing basis are in stock at some point.  Has anyone purchased it or seen it in stock?  Any thoughts on why sephora keeps it on the sale page..when it's never seemingly in stock?  Thanks!

[Samtian]

I haven't seen it in stock either.

[meganlisa]

@Samtian Thanks!  Been driving me crazy...

2016 has struck again. Carrie Fisher passed away this morning. 😞

I was really hoping she'd pull through.

[lyravega]

May the force be with you wherever you are, Mrs. Carrie...

[tbuss]

This is so sad, such a well done picture 

[lyravega]

It's a fantastic photo. Not mine. I don't know to whom should I give the credit for it... Found it randomly on Giorgio A. Tsoukalos' of all places...
