@liv545, I have the rice mask, just haven’t opened it yet. Masksheets(dot)com is having a sale on select Skinfood products so I may check out the site this weekend. Will let you know if I pick up anything.

@itsfi the rice one smells idk chemically imo? I haven’t used it as many times. Doesn’t break me out though and appears to work for brightening. Not sure what the rice bits are for as it’s not consistent enough in texture to exfoliate, at least when I try to. And ohhhhh! Post all the goodies you get and tag me!!! I love hearing details about things I’m trying to buy!

Hmmm, the rice mask smells like chemicals?😳🤭 Maybe I’ll open it this weekend and see if I detect the same scent; will let you know. I’ll definitely tag you @liv545 when the Skinfood goodies come in! 😊

[liv545]

@itsfi yeah, it’s like perfumey chemically. I’m great with descriptions.😂

Sephora sale came in,yay!!! and I am most excited to try the Tarte Marcuja oil and farsali unicorn essence this weekend. i swatched the SC modern watercolors lip gloss and it looks like only the pink one is a miss. It looks white on me for some reason. I put pics with the colors (the pink is the right corner of the lips)and I kinda like the multi color lip. 🙂

I got some setting powders from RMS/cinema secrets/hourglass-tinted and colorless-that had clean ingredients and good for dry skin. *fingers crossed*
For a lipstick of course I got Pat McGrath mattetrance in Full Blooded. And im so sad i didnt get the lust mini collection but i hope it will show up instore before the sale ends but I highly doubt it. At least this pmg is a keeper and will comment more on that in the lippie challenge. I gotta say the samples were not the best choices in a long while and I couldnt even get the j'adore sample I wanted. Instead, I got 2 of the other eh perfume which was dissapointing 😞Sephora 20%

Fantastic haul, @Buootiful!  I love PMG lipsticks, and I love the Sephora brand lipsticks, too. The Sephora+Pantone Universe gloss set looks so pretty.

[Buootiful]

The Pantone lip gloss looks so good in the bottle and swatched @curlychiquita Not so much on the lips Im afraid 😞

[bakeamuffin]

I love Umbra, I hope you’ll love Umbra tint 😄 Your Haul looks so great @Buootiful! I love the variety of makeup and skincare 

[Buootiful]

I love it! @bakeamuffin No whitecast L:) 🙂 I know it's lazy but this is a great substitute for having to put foundation on 🙂

Nice sale haul, @Buootiful! I'm actually kinda digging the rainbow lips! 

[Buootiful]

Me too @quspork! I need to find a way to re create this without the hassle of wondering how it looks while im eating 🙂

[eshoe]

Those lips, @Buootiful🌈 so much fun! 

[itsfi]

Nice haul @Buootiful!  The multi-color lip you created is so pretty!  🙂

[Buootiful]

Thank you @itsfi , it was fun putting it on 🙂

This was my haul, everything arrived in perfect shape. The palettes looked absolutely pristine.

I was a little concerned to see the batch codes of Dark Mattes and Bridal Satin were from 2015 but did some research and decided that they were probably ok. I tried out Dark Mattes, and it made my eyes burn, I had to remove the eyeshadow in a hurry. It also gave my hand and arm contact dermatitis where I had done swatches. I don't know whether this happened because the palettes were just too old, or if I am allergic to something in the eyeshadow formula. I want to try the structure brow and eyeshadow palette, batch code from 2016, but I'm afraid to, and I'm probably going to return all three palettes. I'm so sad because I had very high hopes 😞

[curlychiquita]

I'm glad everything arrived unbroken, @gingerleigh!  I'm sorry to hear about the allergic reaction to the Viseart palettes, though 😞

[Kim888]

Ooh I love the besame lippies @gingerleigh so pigmented and such lovely packaging 

[Buootiful]

Im so sorry about those pallettes. @gingerleighThat is terrible you got such a reaction. At least you know right away and not when youre loving the pallette and THEN it gives you symptoms. Well, the Besame lipsticks can give you some comfort  🙂 

[Shosh85]

Oh man, that is such a bummer! So sorry to hear about palettes! 😢 @gingerleigh

[PinkEvergreen]

@gingerleigh Oh no 🙁 I’m so sorry to hear that!! Time for the grape water again! 

[gingerleigh]

That and Shiseido cotton was the first thing I grabbed, lol @PinkEvergreen
