I resisted all these but did succumb to UD’s Vice lipstick in Sancho, which I do like very much!
Good job, Tammy!
I think you got UD jilted and firebird mixed up, just because I love both and have been wearing them the past week!
I’m not sure what you mean by mixed up? Jilted goes to Jilted, the review text shows the review for Jilted and same for Firebird? The descriptions are pulled right from the press release and are also correct – http://www.temptalia.com/urban-decay-vice-lipstick-in-100-shades-launching-in-june/
What were your favorites from the last month? Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette — love! Hourglass Diffused Light ambient powder. La Roche Posay Anthelios in 60SPF — great texture. UD Vice lip in Cruel.
What didn’t impress you? UD Vice in Bang; so very pigmented that I’m finding it challenging; but the color does work for me.
Did you return anything you purchase? No
Or successfully resist temptation? Ha, I have the delayed gratification skills of a 2 yr old. I didn’t buy anything on impulse — I considered everything, bought only those items I really liked and that filled a gap — but I didn’t put anything off until next month either.
Nice job avoiding impulse buys!
What were your favorites from the last month? The BiYE lipstick in Kale stole my heart. It came home with me.
What didn’t impress you? The Vice UD lipstick
Did you return anything you purchase? Vice UD lipstick
Or successfully resist temptation? Resisted BiTE whiskey and squid ink.
Kale is SUCH a cool shade!
What were your favorites from the last month? Jeffree Star Beauty Killer Palette, Makeup Revolution New-trals vs. Neutrals Palette, Maybelline Loaded Bolds Lipstick in Gone Greige.
What didn’t impress you? I swatched the Lorac Pro 3 at Ulta out of curiosity. I wasn’t terribly impressed.
Did you return anything you purchased? No
Or successfully resist temptation? Yes; so many things! lol Most notably, the Tarte x Grav3yard Girl palette.
Good job resisting many things last month!
I like the little questionnaire! 🙂 I think the Vice lipsticks have just or are about to hit the stores here, eeeeeep!
What were your favorites from the last month? Definitely the Estée Lauder Fuchsia Lights lip & cheek color!
What didn’t impress you? Hmmm nothing immediately comes to mind…
Did you return anything you purchase? Nope (because we can’t).
Or successfully resist temptation? Yes! Did some beauty hauling at Cosmetics Obsessions but only bought three things (RT brush, Morphe palette and Invisibobbles). And believe me, I wanted a LOT more, was drooling over the matte TheBalm eyeshadow palettes.
Can’t wait for Vice to land for you!
Favorites from the last month? Hourglass Dim Infusion blush, Charlotte Tilbury Bitch Perfect lipstick, Loreal Infallible Pro Matte foundation, ColourPop Wisp as an eyeshadow
What didn’t impress you? Ugh, anything from the Jaclyn Hill/Becca collab. I got the eyeshadow palette and the face palette. I might’ve kept the face palette if Prosecco Pop hadn’t been so yellow on me, but I was underwhelmed with the blushes too. I also got the Lorac Pro 3, my first ever Lorac Pro palette, and I feel pretty “meh” about it, but plan to keep it.
Did you return anything you purchased? The Jaclyn Hill stuff, and the Becca Luminous blush in Snapdragon. I found it to be very close to Clinique Peach Pop (which I already owned) and felt I’d get more use out of the Clinique one since it’s not shimmery.
Did you resist temptation? I didn’t do well resisting temptation. I made my first ever orders from ColourPop and Makeup Geek, picked up UD Vice lipsticks in Snitch and Ravenswood, and made good use of my Ulta 20% off coupon on backups of skincare and It Cosmetics CC cream. I also ordered all the new Buxom eyeshadows yesterday. I need to make July a no-buy month!
Wisp is such a pretty shade. I love the sheen on the CP highlighters!
