Thanks for the note about the ColorPop and the coupon...I just read the back too and see the same thing. Bummer.

Did anyone else purchase the Too Faced Sugar Plum Fun HSN-exclusive yesterday? I caved and bought two... one for me and one for my mom for Christmas. I LOVE the Better Than Sex mascara and the eye shadow pallete colors are beautiful. I am almost out of my eye shadow primer and I'm excited to try the Too Faced brand. Here's a link if you're interested: Sugar Plum Fun

I will talk to BFF amblet

For those who use It's CC creme - what do you use to put it on? A beauty blender? I ask because I ran into Ulta to get a new bottle and the sales lady said I needed a special brush for it. So was she just trying to get me to spend $ or do I need one?

I use my fingers to apply the It CC cream. Ditto. I treat it sort of like a moisturizer/BB cream. I have tried using a brush, but it doesn't smooth out into the thinner coverage I prefer.

So was she just trying to get me to spend $ or do I need one? I use a brush. Unlike keithurbanlovinpea , I believe the brush gives me thinner coverage than my fingers. Go figure. I also like the way the foundation brush blends the edges for no visible lines of where the makeup starts or stops. I bought the Ulta foundation brush - not a more expensive branded one. I'm perfectly happy with it. Edited to add - I squirt out the tiniest of blobs onto the flat surface of the brush. Then gently touch the various areas of cheeks, forehead, chin, etc to start "distributing" it. Then I go back with a firmer pounce to start blending. Finally I finish with the swirling motion to smooth and feather the edges. Which is probably waayyy more info than you wanted about it. Lol.

I sometimes think I missed the day in girl school when they teach about make up.
For all the 'bottom layer' stuff, I use Elf products. I love the stuff-the scrubby I use in the shower doesn't have the silicon beads but rather crushed walnut shells (I think it is walnuts) so it is better for the environment and does a great job. I love their bb cream, it is perfect for light coverage. I use the primer and think it is great...I don't particularly care for the shadows and blushes, but the rest of the skin care part has been great.
One of the things that really works for me is that most of the products are either very lightly scented or not at all. I have one of those pesky scent sensitivities, and a good bit of products are heavy scented to the point of simply opening the package makes me break out in hives. In a fit of thinking I needed to be a grown up and buy some kind of retinol cream I tried to buy something (I can't remember the name, it is in a red tub at target) but I had to take it back because just opening the jar made me itchy. It is frustrating.

I use my fingers to apply the It CC cream. Me too. I've tried the blender sponge things but I always feel like it uses way more product for the same effect. It's possible I'm using it incorrectly.

Do you dampen your beauty blender/sponge before using it? I find that helps spread out the make up and the sponge doesn't seem to absorb as much when damp.

The instructions on it say to do so, therefore I do. I once used it dry and I was using some really intensely scented foundation (in other words it stunk) and I had to get the smell out of the beauty blender. That was a hassle. I only use it wet now.

I don’t use the IT CC cream but I do have a beauty blender tip. I found I went through a stage of making it too damp and the makeup was applying to my face but lifting back up again when I was blending over the area with the sponge. A dry-damp beauty blender works much better for me rather than damp-wet beauty blender with my foundations and BB creams.

Hi I am on maintenance Latisse now and my eyelashes are really long. All my friends notice them and I am really pleased. My eyebrows are dark brown now, too (like my hair used to be in days gone by). I am pleased with them as well. My eye lashes are light brown and invisible until I put on mascara. Does anyone else have this problem? I would really like them to be black. I am very dependent on mascara now and that's fine but today I took the day off and saw oodles of people I knew at the grocery store and well, yeah, that's a given, right? I have had them dyed 2x in my life and i was allergic to the dye or something as I had severe pain and soreness during the application of the dye. That was a long time ago, though, so do you think things have changed at all? I am open to opinions.

I went to Groupon to look at this brush, and saw this powder Delta Dawn I think it was you that mentioned looking for an organizer for makeup earlier in this thread. Here are several options. I don't know if Groupon goods ship to Canada, or if you have a Canadian version of Groupon. I think I'm going to give that Tarte brush a shot for that price. I also found a set of eyeshadow/liner brushes with handles that look like wands from Harry Potter. They'll make a cute stocking stuffer for my daughter.

I may get the Sephora Advent Calendar...may not or buy some eye cream. I don't know about the Sephora Advent Calendar, the products don't look that great at $45. The Sephora Advent Calendar could be a cute present for my cousin who is a freshman at college. What a fun thing to open every day during finals!

That's the one I saw on Groupon. I really don't need another foundation brush...I have one of the It ones, plus the Clarisonic attachment, and I love the damp beauty blender method and my favorite foundation applies best with my fingers...but, I bought it on Groupon.

It is simply ridiculous how much makeup I have bought because of the Peas! I did get the very expensive It mascara, but that's one of the only things I didn't love. I am using it because it was $$$, but I'm going back to my L'oreal Double Extend. Don't love it since it's been changed, but the It one was not worth the price at all.

I ordered Birchbox Advent Calendars for my daughter & I. I like that Sephora has more days to theirs, but I decided I think I'll like what's in the Birchbox one more. I hope my daughter will enjoy it more than the cheap chocolate one I usually get.

I'd recommend buying travel size mascaras in different brands from Ulta or Sephora to try differnt brands. I actually prefer the travel size now because I like the shorter wands. I just ordered this Sephora Favorites Lashstash so I could try some others. Some of my normal favorites are Benefit Roller Lash or They're Real and Smashbox Full Exposure.

It was probably me, it's my favorite brush! I could never apply foundation right, before I bought that brush. I don't know if people like the Smokey Naked Palette, but I saw it on sale at Nordstrom Rack for $25. I think that's a good price at 50% off.

I've had mine awhile because I don't use it everyday- just use one-step Cover Girl-lol.

What kind of brush cleaner do you guys use? I ordered a new set of brushes when Ulta had the 20% off coupon and need to get new cleaner. I was just looking on Sephora's site and there's so many. Solid, dry, liquid...what do you find works best?
