I had been wanting to try it, so I signed up via your link. I had BirchBox for a while and it was okay, but I cancelled after five or six months, but looking forward to the little bags, too, from ipsy.

Just got an email from BH cosmetics and they're having a sale on their 88 color palettes for $8.88! They're online only but I have set of brushes from them and I'd say they're very high quality! Just letting y'all know :)

Soooo I found this makeup trick!! If your mascara is running dry, "getting old," put a few drops (I used one drop with my current mascara, but my really old mascara I put 2-3) of contact solution into the mascara bottle! It makes the it like-new again. I was pretty skeptical at first, but it worked like a charm.

I NEED the Vice 2 Palette. I've been to one Ulta and two different Sephoras and they're sold out. Now it's sold out on UD's website and I am SO sad. Like I can't live without it & it's limited edition:(

We do ipsy but passed on birchbox because the reviews were all lousy and my impression was it's all sample sizes and can include things like bandaids and chapstick. Umm no thanks. Ipsy so far has been good. So much fun to get a metallic pink envelope in the mail with makeup. Only complaints are they seem to disregard skin tone and other preferences that they themselves asked for but still fun to get so far.

It seemed like I was getting quite a few men's cologne samples, too, in my Birchbox.

I would give hard candy Glamoflauge a try! I just got it recently but I'm loving it. $6 at Walmart and it comes with the liquid and a small pencil. It's really well reviewed by youtubers and the beauty blogosphere which is what convinced me to get it! Only thing is it's really powerful, so you only want to use a tiny bit and blend it! Works great.

Boing is nothing like Erase Paste. Boing is a lot dryer texture and not orange at all. Love Boing.

This may be the last time I check Fierceboard before going to Mac.
Foundation: Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus
Primer: Smashbox Photofinish
Mascara: Diorshow, everything else that is high end (Tarte, bare minerals, etc) just clumps up and gives me a weird allergic reaction... when my bank account refuses to purchase Diorshow I use the maybellene that comes in the blue tube with the rocket on it... does the trick.
Eyeliner: Smashbox felt pens
Lipstick: Sephora brand, I lose tubes of lipstick like no other.
Eyeshadow: who knows these days... naked is the best but mine just ran out.
I also have a Clairsonic Mia 2, I got it on sale at Sephora with a 20% VIB coupon as well as a $20 VIB coupon (I spend a lot of money at sephora). I use DermaDoctor Aint Misbehavin and it clears up a solid 90% of acne with VERY little skin irritation. My skin is really sensitive and I don't use a lot of cleansers because of it. I would reccomend going to the store and asking for a sample to last about a week and see how it works.
I love the Mia2, I only use it every other day though to prevent my skin from getting too rough (even with the sensative head). I wouldn't pay full price though.
