RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

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.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Thanks!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Yesss!!! @txcatx

 

I love my ballz.  New spring ones are pretty, but not the best. Maybe some classic ones? YAY for you and ballz!e3857cf2c4dcbf2f0373411393dd0d8dedaf1004cd642c303b92d800ffa8884b.jpg

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Thanks! I do like the tin packaging better than the plastic pearl.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Woohoo!  Congrats on paying off your student loans!  That is definitely reason to celebrate!   Do you already have any Meteorites?  If not, maybe start with the Illuminating Meteorites in the silver tin?   I definitely recommend buying them in store - I had two different heartbreaking experiences with crushed Meteorites I ordered online.  @txcatx

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Oh! Good to know! Need to figure out if Guerlain is carried at any stores around here...

 

Thanks!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Yes. The answer is "yes". 

Yes, you celebrate by buying Meteorites.

There is no debate.

There is no need to even pose this as a question.

Yes. 

The answer is "yes".

 

*okay, I'll stop enabling now* 😛

 

Congrats on paying off those loans!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Thanks! But there are currently three packaging options and five colors on the market, so I need to figure out where to start! Plus, researching to see who has ebates, a good GWP, if I need the special brush, etc...

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

This are all wonderful factors that will lead you to beautiful pearlies!!!

 

Take an inventory of highlighters that you have and determine if you want something in a similar tone or to go in a totally different direction. In terms of packaging, ask if this is going to be a "set it on your vanity for looks and eye candy" status or if it's something to be stored away....if you're keeping it out, either go for a flashy option or something that just suits your decor.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Ok so yesterday I got a survey for a prestige beauty box from Influenster, and just now I got another survey for a regular beauty box from Influenster! The one I got today was asking lots of questions about brushes, does anyone know of a brand having new brushes release soon?? It got me wondering what brushes they will send out!

 

I hope that I get chosen for at least one of them, I mean, I DID make it all the way through to entering my address (sometimes they cut me off halfway and say I'm not a good fit).

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I put highlighter on the tip of my nose for the first time ever tonight. I didn't mind it. This makes me feel like I could be on a slippery slope.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

In spirit of the Sephora x3 points fragrance event, I tried to add all the perfumes on my wishlist into my bag to see the price. Apparently you are only allowed 90 items in your bag. I managed to get 91. I wasn't able to add all the ones I wanted. But out of boredom here are the results: 91 items, $5,798. 17,394 points. Average cost per item $63ish. That would be nice. Can you image what a collection that would look like, a mix of travel size and full size bottles, heaven! Unfortunately that is a "little" above my budget. LOL. More than a little. But kinda cool to see. 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

My first thought was how many $25 purchases can that be divided in to for maximum deluxe sample efficiency. Thwarted by the average price of 90 items being over twice the buy in! I would love to see that collection though.
