FOTD: lush colour supplement & bare escentuals playlist palette

Hello, lovelies! Hope you all are having a fantastic Friday/Veteran's Day/11-11-11, etc. Unfortunately, I still have two days of work left before my weekend - I can't wait! I bought practically nothing last week, so I can't wait to shop!  If you're curious, here's what's at the top of my wish list:

• Sephora (VIB sale!): Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek in Neapolitan Lane (if you can believe it, I think this is the only thing I want!)
• LUSH: Orange Blossom solid perfume, Ro's Argan body conditioner, No Drought dry shampoo, forum fragrances (so, so excited for these!!)
• YSL Rouge Pur Couture Golden Lustre #108 (dammit, Rachel!)
• Butter London The Black Knight polish
• Marc Jacobs Exploded Katie bracelet (not gonna happen this weekend, but I'm definitely getting this baby at some point!)

Okay, enough of that.  I wanted to another (read: better; read: took longer than 3 minutes) FOTD using the LUSH Colour Supplement, which on day 3 is still rocking my world. I also wanted to show you another new Bare Escentuals product that I'm loving to death - the Ready 8.0 The Playlist palette.  Um, AMAZING. Bare Escentuals has SO upped their game!

Ha! This is such a "Bitch, please" face.

This is the Bare Escentuals Playlist palette.  It's my first foray into Bare Escentuals pressed eyeshadows, and I'm thoroughly impressed! These are smooth, soft, and very pigmented! And, now this is rare, I love every shade in the palette! The only one I have yet to use is the red on the bottom left, but I do love reds, and I'm sure I'll be using it soon.  It's basically the perfect holiday palette.  The packaging is super sleek and slim, with a huge mirror as well. Love it, love it, love it. Oh, I did want to point out that some shadows seem to look better applied wet, like shade #3. Dry it looked kind of flat, but wet it was gorgeous! I always recommend trying shadows wet (i.e. with a wet brush) before discarding them as not-so-great. It doesn't work for everything, but when it does, it's worth the effort!

Top: Shades 1-4; Bottom: Shades 5-8

I busted out my Fresh Strawberry Flowers perfume today.  Why I am so into spring/summer scents right now? Shouldn't it be all about cozy, spicy scents? Oh well!

Oh, and another thing, this happened:

And this:

And this was spotted:

You better believe I tore this down "as a soon is possible"!

And, lastly, this is what I wake up to:

Get up, lazy!

Alright, that's all for today.  Thanks for reading and have a great weekend, loves!

xoxo,

what i've bought recently (lipstick, mac me over, sanrio, ysl, sleek, etc.)

I love the fall, and September especially -- it just happens to be my birthday month. :) I'm turning 28 this year (I can't believe it!) and my mama is coming to visit to celebrate with me.  I love spending time with my mom, so I'm really looking forward to seeing her.  It's also my parents' 40th wedding anniversary on October 2nd, and they decided to spend it here (Dad will coming towards the end of the visit). My brother and his girlfriend will be coming down for a few days as well. I love when my family gets together. I'm psyched for them to meet Sammy & Mouse, too! :)

Anyways, I've been taking photos over the past few weeks of the stuff I've bought, so I thought I'd share them with you!

Dolce & Gabbana Cinnamon

Tom Ford Nude Vanille

Topshop Pillow Talk

Sephora Lip Attitude Glamour G19

(scroll to the bottom of the post for lip swatches)

I had to put these at the top of the post, because I loveloveLOVE them! All of these, aside from the Sephora one which I tried on in-store first, were blind online purchases.  Sometimes that can turn out badly, but not this time! All of these lipsticks are likely to become favorites in my collection. I will say, though, that I was disappointed that when I received Tom Ford Nude Vanille; it broke the first time I applied it. It had melted during shipment, despite its sturdy case. :\ I'm going to exchange it, but I hope the same thing doesn't happen again (no stores near me have it in stock, so I have to do a mail-in return). *crosses fingers*

MAC Me Over

A FOTD using this palette will be up shortly - I wore it today and I love it just as much as I anticipated! :)

Moroccanoil Light

YSL Touche Eclat (#1 Luminous Radiance)

My original Moroccanoil bottle ran out recently, and I'd been using the Pureology serum in its place.  However, the other day I found the Moroccanoil bottle still in my cabinet, and managed to get some product out.  I'd forgotten how seriously amazing it is! It's pricey, which is why I didn't rush out to repurchase, but believe me, it is worth every penny! This time I picked the Light version, and I'm really happy with it!

The Touche Eclat is another HG product for me.  I'd been using the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle roller, but my eyes had been watering more than usual, and I wondered if I was sensitive to it. Either way, I was really missing that satisfying click of the Touche Eclat pen, and finally gave into the urge to splurge! I don't regret it one bit. ;)  And it didn't hurt that the SA threw in this adorable pouch as a freebie. :)
