Did anything new get added to your wish list? I haven’t had a whole lot of time the last couple of months to pay attention to new releases, so nothing new has been added to my wishlist.
What release tempted you the most? The Lethal Cosmetics x Theresa Is Dead palette.
Did you make any new purchases? The above, the Shroud IFB palette, some singles from Terra Moons, and the BH Cosmetics Passion in Paris palette.
Or successfully dupe a new product with something you already own? Not really.
DID ANYTHING NEW GET ADDED TO YOUR WISH LIST?
WHAT RELEASE TEMPTED YOU THE MOST? Sydney Grace x Temptalia Palettes, and Menagerie Cosmetics x Annette’s Makeup Corner Serenity Palette
DID YOU MAKE ANY NEW PURCHASES?
Yes. After barely buying anything for more than a year, I went a bit nuts with sales. But at least I’m excited about and wearing makeup again!
Lots of Supergoop mineral sunscreen items. The Sydney Grace x Temptalia Palettes; more SG stuff during their July sale, I hit the Menagerie Cosmetics restock and got Flight Club, x Annette’s Makeup Corner Serenity, Feral, and Arthurine Blush palettes. ND Bronze Palette (20 percent off flash sale). A quad and some Blitztrance Lipsticks from the PML sale. The Juvia’s Place quads. A few other things I can’t recall off the top of my head.
OR SUCCESSFULLY DUPE A NEW PRODUCT WITH SOMETHING YOU ALREADY OWN? Not intentionally
Totally forgot to answer this!
DID ANYTHING NEW GET ADDED TO YOUR WISH LIST?
Yes more Terra Moons singles — I hit their July sale, too, but there are many more I want. Dior Rouge Blush in 365 New World. Ciate London Colour Flip Light Reactive Colour Changing Glosses.
it’s so hard to resist the TerraMoon singles, especially when they’re having a sale… they’re SO good!
Did anything new get added to your wish list? Not in the month of July, nothing was added to my wishlist. Not even lipsticks.
What release tempted you the most? Definitely the SG Temptalia palettes – these are the most exciting set of eyeshadows that have been released this year!
Did you make any new purchases? Yep, I bought the On the Horizon Light palette and love it.
Or successfully dupe a new product with something you already own? From most of the eyeshadows that I have seen and liked, eg The CP duos of Pier Pressure and State of Nature, I can dupe those.
Did anything new get added to your wish list? The Sydney Grace mystery bags! The Sugar Drizzle Pizza Kitty palette and the Noctex matte singles that are on super sale right now!
What release tempted you the most? Everything new from Sydney Grace.
Did you make any new purchases? Too many to list here XD
Or successfully dupe a new product with something you already own? I can’t really think of anything but I am constantly looking up dupes all the time.
Did anything new get added to your wish list? I add things to the list almost every week. I can’t recall what I put on it in July though.
What release tempted you the most? Sidney Grace X Temptalia,
Did you make any new purchases? Yes, Sidney Grace X Temptalia all three palettes in light, Dear Reader, Happy Accident and a few other singles, Some Becca products, a few UD lipsticks on sale, some other lipsticks, some skincare. What can I say, I was down and needed a lot of pick me ups.
Or successfully dupe a new product with something you already own? Yes, old UD Vice that are dupes for new, and most certainly other products that I have forgotten.
It’s been a tough couple of months and this year seem to be turning into the worst year of my life. A lot of stress and anxiety is building up, so I can’t remember things like dupes, purchases I do remember, so I guess there’s hope for my brain. 😀
Did anything new get added to your wish list? The new Dior highlighters. If we get them at my Sephora I might pick them up
What release tempted you the most? Everything’s always tempting me from Colourpop, and of course the Dior highlighters, as well as the Clionadh restock
Did you make any new purchases? I picked up one of the new Sephora Collection eyeliners in “Flirting Game”. I love the color on me but without a primer and some powder it transfers onto my upper lid quickly
Or successfully dupe a new product with something you already own? I haven’t had a chance to look very deeply into my collection for possible dupes, but I should look into it for the new Colourpop Super Shock duos and Dior highlighters
