Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Reviving this thread. I have not been so nice to my wallet this Shopping season but the sales are too good to miss!

 

Victoria Beckham is having a sale 25% off and FREE shipping. Woot! I need help deciding on which ONE to get. If I hadn't done an Ulta order yesterday and Friday, I would have gotten 3 😁.

 

Surfside OR                                      Bordeaux

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Thanks, Everyone! I went with Surfside. I'll be keeping Bordeaux in mind for future purchases.

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@Buootiful  Hmm… 

 

Surfside is the safer choice. it’s a denim blue shade that can work with anything (blue jeans are a staple neutral in most people’s wardrobes). It’ll also look great when used solo—no eyeshadow—or just with mascara. And it’s got a bit more pop than navy blue. You’d probably get more use out of this shade. 

 

Bordeaux might be more of a “once in a while” shade for you, depending on your usual makeup looks. I personally love maroon and wine eyeliners and use them often, but I’m also the kind of person who plays with all the pretty colors so for me, a red eyeliner’s not unusual. This type of red smudged a bit at the outer corner can really give your eyes a little somethin’, similar to a bit of pink (or in my deeper skin tone case, red violet/magenta/fuchsia) smudged at that corner. 

 

 

I placed a VBB order today and Bordeaux is one of the liners in it. I did consider Surfside because I also love a good blue liner, but I already have too many similar blue eyeliners. And Bordeaux’s a color I’ll use often. So yeah, I have a bias toward Bordeaux. 😂 But that’s just me and my color preferences. Yours could be completely different. 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Surfside @Buootiful , if anything red/burgundy liner can sometimes look garish or harsh if the undertones aren't right and like everyone else asks, which one do you think you'd get more mileage from? Probably Surfside, blue and teal is just so complimentary for brown eyes.

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Personally I like the red one but that’s me 🙂 this definatley is a tough one I would ask yourself what you could see yourself wearing it to. Great thread idea btw! I love this ❤️ @Buootiful 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Yeah, with the blue, I wouldn't really need to make sure it matches my outfit. @peculiarzmakeup 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@Buootiful @What colors do you wear more? I have a lot of her liners but don’t own those 2 colors. For me I would go with surfside 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Yeah, I do lean towards the Blue but the red one would be something different. Or I might look like a Disney villain 🙂 @SportyGirly125 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Sometimes it's fun to look like a Disney villain @Buootiful

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@Buootiful It all depends on the application and shadow pairing. 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

I have both @Buootiful . They both good quality but I wear more blue eyeshadow than burgundy/red and therefore I would vote for Surfside. 😘

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

Thank you 😘 @blackkitty2014 , looks like I'm leaning towards Surfside.

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

I have been thinking about purchasing PATRICK TA Major Headlines Blush Palette , PAT McGRATH LABS Divine Blush + Glow Trio (both sets of colors). Advice is needed please. Do I need all of these palettes or is there one particular palette that is recommended?

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

I got PATRICK TA Major Headlines Blush Palette because I hadn't tried his blushes yet. It's an awesome value for 3 blushes . It's only $24 more than Only getting one blush. FYI, Patrick Ta has sold out 2x already in this sale. Also, in my case, my store is OOS already too. There were plenty in store during the weekend.

 

If the PMG doesn't look like it's going to sell out, I would hold off on it. Then again, it's 2 blushes with a highlighter in one package instead of 3 bulky packaging. At $52 for 3 versus $38 for 1 blush. Plus, your desicount. But, I have 2 blushes from PMG already so I'm not jonesing for it like with P Ta. 

 

I hope it helps you make a decision or at least gets you closer to one. @Loretta55  🤞

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@Loretta55 I think you need both.  If you don't get the palettes at least get the single pan one for PMG or the duo blush from PT.

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@SportyGirly125 you, enabler, you. Lol. 🤣😘. Do you think the PMG will be in a 30% off sale for BF?

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@Buootiful @I’m not sure since the trio blush is new. You never know. 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

I also waited too long for the PATRICK TA Major Headlines Blush Palette @SportyGirly125 @Buootiful . I should have purchased it on line for in store pick up because it was not available on line. My local store has both Pat McGrath palettes so I will look at them in store before I choose. 

Re: This or That? or Both? or None?

@Buootiful What a fun thread idea!  I went into Sephora today (very briefly to check out some SC palettes and to pick up my bday gift) and I just wanted everything.  It was hard to turn away from SC lippies, but I reasoned that it's still not time to buy lipsticks. 

 

When I have trouble deciding, I tend to either buy everything, or nothing.
