@MK89 that will be great! I am almost ready to hit order haha

[lachaton]

@Anewxa I have Naked Bronze (which is supposed to have Spice) and Bette, so I can do this for you. If I forget, just remind me!

[Anewxa]

@lachaton thank you! I have spice unused since I tried the tester after purchasing and its more brown than gold on my lids. I am hoping Bette will be what spice wasn't in that regard. And no worries take your  time with the swatches 🙂

@meganlisa here they are! The swatches look patchy but on they lips they're fine, though they might need two coats. They're like non-liquid liquid lipsticks matte if that makes any sense.

[meganlisa]

@makeitup305 Wow!  Now I'm really intrigued.  I really want to try this formula.  Hopefully, Ulta does a discount on NYX lips.  I've vowed not to order otherwise but we'll see.

Thanks!!!

@meganlisa you're welcome! Hang in there, that BOGO is coming I'm sure!

[StephaniLynn]

I'm hoping they'll so 40% off soon. Much better deal that BOGO 50% off. 

I'm holding out for some of the lip lingeries. 

[makeitup305]

@StephaniLynn that's very true. I think they only do 40% off like twice a year no? Also, beware the lip lingeries, I've heard some of the shades are pretty patchy. Jamiepaige on Youtube did a review if you want to check it out. I do recommend Honeymoon though, it's a nice greige color with even pigmentation.

[StephaniLynn]

I think so? I thought they did one in the spring but I don't remember for sure. 

I'm reading up on them and Embellishment & Push Up are calling my name. 

[makeitup305]

They're both gorgeous. Just buy them and if they suck return them 😛

Looking for a swatch of Sephora colorful eyeshadow in color "Fresh Paint" ....thinking about using it as blush. 

[ZSahar]

Hi Ellenmae, while I don't have the swatch you requested, I would advise against buying sephora eye-shadows to use as blush. I tried doing that with a berry color and it was horrible, patchy, clung to dry spots where there were none (no blush I have ever used has done that) and didn't blend at all. If you do wanna get it, I'd suggest using it in store directly on your cheeks first.

[Ellenmae]

Awww thats too bad. I've been eyeing UD bittersweet but it's a color I don't want to commit $26-28 (I forget the price). I was hoping a $10 eyeshadow might do the trick. I will def try it in store first then.

[ZSahar]

Good luck and hope it works for you! I agree I was on the fence about some UD blushes too but I knew I'd never use such a colour enough to have that price be worth it. Do comment here if it works for you and I'd love to see a picture! 

[makeitup305]

@Ellenmae have you seen Colourpop Rain? I bought it for this exact reason. According to Temptalia, Bittersweet is "darker and cooler toned" but this one is beautiful too and it's $8.

[snoflakefaerie]

I was going to recommend Rain, too! I just got it, and I really enjoy it.

[Ellenmae]

I'll have to check that out!

My bf sent me this pic out of nowhere with the caption: "My new socks. I swatched them 😉 You're not the only one who can swatch." 

On-topic, this was my hand last week:

[meganlisa]

Is the black a matte or a satin matte?

Sorry, I had to join in.

[michelleshops]

Does he need to use a primer under the orange ones to keep the vibrancy strong?

[TKLJ]

Can you ask him to swatch that black sock next to all his other black socks so I can choose the best?
