This week’s Mellan photo…
Sleepy time!
Haul: I ordered the Shu Palette because it was back in stock. Plus it didn’t hurt that I was able to get 15% off.
Weekend plans: It seems like I’m always cleaning on the weekend haha but I need to prepare for a very busy week next week. I’m going to dinner with my sisters on Sunday
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: It depends on my mood. On an everyday basis I wear more dainty jewelry.
Yay! Hope you love your shu palette!
I wouldn’t mind some sleepy time either. What do you say, Mellan, wanna take a nap together?
Haul: Some Bobbi Brown and Estée Lauder goodness!
Weekend plans: Stay in and relax (hopefully).
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Both. I used to be all about statement jewelry but now I find myself also wearing more subtle and understated pieces.
He would totally nap with you!
Haul: A small Sephora haul consisting of the Beauty Blender duo with cleaner, Too Faced Melted Metallic lipstick in Violet, Kat Von D lipsticks in Lullaby and Poe.
Weekend plans: Working.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Understated.
Great haul! How are you liking Poe?
I can’t imagine wearing it on its own, but I’ve been playing around with it a bit layering it with pink to make a custom purple. I’ll be spending some more time on that this weekend.
Haul: Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Mask (which is phenomenal), Caudalie Beauty Elixir, both MUFE Artist palettes, Kevyn Aucoin duo #4, Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, Kat von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Berlin, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Radiant Magenta, Fresh Rose Hydrating Gel Cream, and Eve Lom Cleanser (tried sample, and it was so amazing I had to purchase the 3.3 oz). Wow, I have bought (almost) everything during the Sephora VIB sale that I had been meaning to pick up. I organized my beauty stash a couple of weeks ago and found holes in my collection.
Weekend plans: I just broken my toe–so not a lot!
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?:Â Colorful scarves, and long understated (interesting) necklaces–such as a watch with gears). Statement necklaces occasionally.
Hope your toe heals quickly, Samantha!
Thanks, Christine!
Haul:I don’t think I got any makeup this week, it can change over the weekend. I got my hair done though!
Weekend plans: Work and a baby shower on Sunday.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?:It depends on what I am wearing, if it’s something simple then I’d wear a statement necklace. But on every day basis,I like subtle jewelry.
Have a great weekend, Agata! 🙂
Looks like it’s nap time for Mellan!
**Haul – finally ordered ColourPop! Shadows (Hammered, So Quiche, Fringe, Kimono), Blushes (Rain, Homie, Thumper), Lippies + Pencils (Grind, Fern, Leather, Lady). Haven’t tried everything yet, but loving everything so far! Sephora Lustre Matte Lipstain in Deep Plum (finally back in stock), Clinique Pop Cheek in Pansy (back in stock after Sephora sale)
**Weekend – family birthday dinner, then relax. Work has been brutal
**Accessories – prefer understated.
YAYYYY! ColourPop!!
Haul: I’m still waiting on a two pairs of shoes and a dress from ASOS. They take FOREVER to ship to military addresses. A bunch of bras, my second VIB Sephora order, 10 books, and an amazon order I placed a while ago, but hasn’t even shipped yet!
Weekend plans: School work on Saturday since my husband is gone all day and night for work. Sunday is my second day at work!
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Bold all the way! Though understated accessories have their place. 🙂
What book are you most excited for? Hopefully not all school books 😉
Haha! No school books, actually. I think I’m most excited for Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard!
The best kind of book haul then 😀
Haul: Lots! Makeup foiled e/s in Untamed and Masqurade, Taupe Notch e/s and a Z-palette. Also ordered somethings from Colourpop; a highlighter, Shop e/s, blushes in Swift and Quarters and lipppie stix in Grind.
Weekend plans: Date night with my husband tonight. And seeing the Avengers with some friends tomorrow
Accessories: I’m on the fence and guess it just depends on the style of the piece!
Nice haul, Megan! Which highlighter did you get?
Hey Christine!
I got Most Necessary highlighter 🙂
Ooh, nice choice!
Haul: I picked up the new Chanel Bronzer which is pretty light on me and the olive shadow stylo in t. I am glad your getting some more of the collection. It’s been driving me nuts all week to not go get more of it.lol. I know how hit and miss they are. I am so on the fence with Coco shines espescally since yesterday my Tom Ford order arrived! Oh my goodness..it was like Christmas in April! Beautiful stuff! I so hauled it out with that. I got the eye and cheek palette, the body oil, both clutch sized bronzers, all 4 cream shadows, all 4 lipsticks, the cream blush, and I finally got Firelust while I was at it. The SA was so sweet and sent me 2 deluxe samples of the light blue perfumes( I can’t recall their proper names at the moment._But OMG they are about $215 for the smallest bottle and I love, love them-but hopefully I can just stretch her samples. Those are more like a Christmas gifts. Still Idk if I can pay that much for a perfume! I also picked up Urban Decay’s gloss in Quiver. Hey Christine I returned the Guerlain Teracotta in #3 I purchased because I decided I would prefer to have one of the protective cover things. But, I have yet to see them for sale anywhere. Did they give you a date in May?
Weekend plans: LOL..I am coaching my daughter’s soccer tomorrow,Ha! I played one season in high school. Should be interesting. Just that, running my daughter around and cleaning. Hopefully can straighten up my makeup area in my room. All the stuff from the VIB sale and TF are sitting in boxes still or just on top of the table..driving me nuts! Still trying to get to clean out our closets. Life gets so busy. It’s times like these, I have to force myself to stop and rest. I literally am going on 4 hours of sleep a night. I told my daughter,Sun. I get to sleep in and we are painting toenails and nails if there is any possible way..if not I am gifting it to myself to go get them done for Mother’s day!
accessories: I am a low-key accessories girl. I generally like necklaces and bracelets the most. but prefer during the daytime to stick with one piece. Rings tend to bother me although I like to buy them for some reason!lol
Have a Happy Weekned! 🙂
They gave May but nothing more specific than that.
Oh, yeah, Tom Ford perfumes are pricey! The ones that go a long way and wear all day are scents I’d feel good about buying, but there are some scents that are shorter-wearing or have less power that are less “worth it” to me.
Ok. Ill just keep looking. No shortage of bronzers. I just don’t want to miss it. I do like the idea of having the protective case in case i do need to travel with it.
I know on the perfume. Right now,my wallet is so hating me from the Sephora sale,Tom Ford,and I bought a few things I really shouldn’t of from the Chanel collection for summer. But , everyone is pushing fragrance specials for Mothers day. But at $230, thats going to be something I really have to think about and save for. She gave me Neroli Portofino& Fleur Dr Portofino. I really am liking the Neroli. Eek!
I’m sure they’re right around the corner! 🙂

Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: I’m not really an accessories person, and I almost never wear jewelry. Sometimes I’ll wear a scarf or earrings, which tend to be more understated. I go bold with the clothes. 🙂
Hopefully you can make Color Field work for you 🙂 At least having an idea of where it falls short can help you figure out how to start trying it!

How are you liking the polishes, M?
So far have only worn the purple (Lavana), but I love it! Love Chanel polishes (do not love the creeping up price tag, though I bought mine at Nordstrom during price matching).
Nice!! 🙂
No haul this week.
Relax at home with the hubby and the boys.
understated when it come to jewelry.
Can Mellan come nap with the me and my boys? xoxo for him from me and the boys. Have a great weekend Christine.
He’d love it 😉
Haul: I got 4 new Revlon Lippies. The first one I tried I’m not overly happy with for a few reasons. Review to come soon.
Weekend Plans: Possibly Ultron and Lunch, plus friends on Saturday night.
Bold or Understated: I like both. It depends on the outfit.
Have fun this weekend, Erin!
Haul: MUFE Shadow Palette- the nude one and the Beauty Blender in white.
Weekend plans: I’d like to go to Color Me Mine; hoping it happens!

Yayyy for Make Up For Ever! 🙂

I’ll be curious to see how you like the Wet ‘n’ Wild palettes!
Haul: My two MUFE palettes arrived. The Balm Nude Dude palette (got it for $20 from Ipsy, and it’s a plummy nude palette). Sonia Kashuk Spring 2015 LE brushes. Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter and rollerball scent.
Weekend plans: Color my hair. I’m thinking of going magenta for the summer. I need some change.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Bold, but it can depend on the outfit and occasion. Sometimes, less is more.
Magenta! That would be really fun 😀
Haul: Yay for a skincare haul week! My Kahina Giving Beauty Prickly Pear Seed Oil came in along with pretty generous sample pods of their argan oil and serum. Excited to see results, so far so good!. Also ordered Replenix Power of Three Cream, M2 Skin Care Recovery Moisturizer, and Citrix Vit C Antioxidant SPF Sunscreen from the Dermstore 20% sale. The M2 and Citrix are newbies for me so we’ll see how it goes. Lastly, I’m planning on ordering Lina Hanson’s Global Baby Serum, Gressa Minimalist Corrective Serum Foundation, and Kumari Magnolia & Sandalwood Nourishing Body Oil later today and restocking my MSFN in Light Plus and Painterly at MAC this weekend.
Weekend plans: studying for a professional certification test, a little shopping (and crying over my bank account!)
Bold or understated accessories? Understated. I love the look of understated but quality jewelery that’s been picked up along life’s journey and worn everyday as part of your signature look, like perfume or a hairstyle.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the good results keep on coming for ya, Jess! 🙂
I’m sooo glad i stumbled onto your comment bc I need to make a dermstore haul as well! Do you happen to be a Dr. Bailey fan? I see that you have gotten some of her favorites. I just got the Citrix and have been loving it.
What is Quiet Spot? Sounds like aromatherapy for pooches. You know, a little lavendar, a little valerian, does melatonin smell? And off he goes to dreamland. Might be good for the hypervigilant dachshund…
It’s actually just a little cloth “bag” that holds all his tags together that closes with velcro – it helps to quiet the sound of all the tags jangling when he shakes!
Haul: some new to me shades of Revlon Lip Butters (2 each of Wild Watermelon and Sorbet), Maybelline Black Orchid Colour Tattoo eyeshadow, a new bottle of Clarins Fix Makeup and of their Iris toner, a bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse and I tried to buy the new MUFE Nudes You Need (that I really need and WANT) palette but it hasn’t arrived in store yet.
Weekend plans: my youngest gets back from 4 months in San Francisco tonight (and then we have to get him back to uni next week though he still hasn’t got a place to live and doesn’t seem nearly as concerned as I am), so much time will be spent with him. Sunday, I have a fund-raiser tea to attend for a charity my daughter’s MIL is involved with. I’m taking my sis in law along for the luncheon and silent auctions.
Did it again – forgot to answer the 3rd question…
I like fairly understated accessories – simple jewelry but larger pieces rather than lots of small fiddly ones. And I love scarves and wear them often.
LOL! I can only imagine your concern vs. his concern re: finding a place to live. Here’s hoping he secures a place sooner rather than later, if only so you can rest easy on that count!
Haul: A gently used UD Naked Basics palette from a makeup group sale. I got it for $16. 🙂
Weekend plans: I am really tired after a week of activism and personal issues, so I am just going to relax this weekend.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: It depends on my outfit. I usually go for smaller accessories, but I do like statement necklaces when the mood strikes.
$16! Nice!
Hope you can get some rest in this weekend, Chris!
Haul: nothing this week.
Weekend plans: Brother’s wedding is tomorrow, so we’re in Idaho!
Bold or understated accessories? I prefer small stud earrings but I love huge tacky rings and necklaces 🙂
Hope you had a great time at the wedding!
Haul: Cover FX custom drops, Laura Mercier Artist Palette (gift to my MIL), Besame Violet Powder,
Kat Von D Lightening Liner in Hex and Hyde, Clinique cream liner in Black Honey, Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Copper and Moonlight, Nars Audacious in Barbara, Clinique Cheek Pop in Heather, Origins Charcoal Mask, 2 Marc Jacobs Highliner in black, Belif Moisturizer, Soap and Glory eye cream, Marc Jacobs lip balm, Dior Creme de Rose, Armani Eye tint in Rose Ashes, Senso and Onyx, Armani Master corrector, Bobbi Brown eye brightener, Estee Lauder Little Black primer, Surrat Smoky Baton in Fumee Brun, Vapeur Mauve, Nuit Dorage and Fumee Noir, Ole Henriksen Melting Cleanser, Chanel concealer, Chanel nail polishes in Terrana, Taboo and Interporel, Chanel Rouge Allure Matte in La Refinee, Chanel Coco Shine in Boy and Amorosa, YSL Couture Variation in Tuxedo.
Weekend plans: I think we are going to watch the new Avengers movie.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: It depends, purses and shoes I can go either way, jewelry tends to be more on the understated side, but in piles (ha!), I tend to dress in neutrals so accessories do make a difference.
What a great haul, Marina! What are your favorites so far?
Hi Christine,
I think the Armani eye tints. I love a great cream eyeshadow. I’m also a big fan of Chanel pearlized nail polishes, so I’m happy with them. I’m liking the Cover FX custom drops very much, but I still need to test them with more bases.
On the fence – I love the Kat Von D Lightening Liner colors, but it’s kind of a messy product if you are not used to.
Haul: Nothing. I’ve been instructed by the fiancé that my Sephora/wedding spending sprees are over (he handles the money, I spend the money). I’m on a makeup diet. :(((((
Weekend plans: Pre-Cinco de Mayo party with the neighbors! Nothing better than drinking all day and walking 50 feet home!
Accessories: understated all the way. I typically only every rock my engagement ring, pearl earrings, and red/pink/bright lipstick. Because like Jackie O said, pearls are always appropriate.
Time to start shopping the stash! 🙂
Hehe aww, Mellan’s a sweepy pwup! 😀 Too cute. 🙂
He is! 😀
Haul: Lol nothing for beauty this week. I might pick up some things during the weekend.
Weekend Plans: yoga, work, dancewear-shopping, and the library. And packing.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Both kinds have their place. I’m drawn more to bold jewelry and pops of color but I always make sure to have neutrals and classics in place too.
Did you end up getting anything this weekend, Maggie?
Yup, got some dance wear and some jazz sneakers for my mom (she’s adorable–she’s taking her first dance class ever!) For myself: dermstore haul: Solbar Zinc Sunscreen and Dermatopix hand cream (non-greasy, fragrance-free and lasts through several handwashings).
Weekend plans: it’s a long weekend here, so lots of time to get some stuff done around the house *and* relax *and* go see Avengers: Age of Ultron again!
Accessories: bold, by a long shot. Part of that is my love for sparkle and colour, but also, I’m busty and plus-sized so anything dainty tends to get a bit lost.
Haul: the UD spring collection arrived here yesterday, so I grabbed a couple of blushes, a couple of eyeshadows, and Big Bang lipgloss. Only the one lippie as I got the MUFE Plexigloss in 501 Purple (and shall thus skip UD Bittersweet gloss). I also got an old formula MUFE diamond shadow in a spring green, super cheap as the e-tailer is obviously selling off the discontinued stuff, and a MUFE Aqua Eyes shadow stick in Diamond Peach. Which is gorgeous and wears like iron. And a couple bits at the Body Shop – 2 eye pencils and a lipstick, 3 for 2 (so, free lipstick!), the new Honey Bronze highlighter/blush pot in the pinkish shade, and a new Honey Bronze bronzer. In Fair Matte. Which is absolutely lovely to apply, genuinely matte but not flat looking, not too warm nor too cool, and actually verges on being too light for me! The SA questioned whether it would be, and I probably should have gotten the Light Matte, but the fact that there actually IS a Fair Matte and it’s actually properly fair just blew me away! The surface of the bronzer is slightly textured in a honeycomb pattern and the compact is a bronzy brown plastic with again, a subtle honeycomb pattern on the top half.
So any fair, super pale, or vampiric lovelies should check out the new Body Shop bronzer! It was only £13, too, so I imagine it would be under $20 USD.
Christine – a purchase from last month that I only got around to wearing this week was Clarins’s new spring eye products. There is an Iridescent Ombre cream powder shadow pot, a waterproof smudgeable eye pencil, and waterproof mascara in Aquatic Green, which is this gorgeous teal shade. The shadow is decent – it sheers a bit once it sets but does remain noticeably teal and shimmery, and it did crease a bit some hours later but it was what I think of as “good creasing” (because pretty much every shadow out there does crease on me after 3-5 hours) where it didn’t leave any bald patches and the crease line easily smudged back out on the lid with a fingertip. The liner and mascara were still application perfect some 10+ hours later, though. I seem to remember you saying that you love a good teal liner and I definitely recommend the new LE Clarins one.
Thank you for the recs, El! I may check out the eyeliner now! 😀
And happy to hear that the new Body Shop bronzer is working out so well!
Haul: Tom Ford Cheek Brush, Tom Ford Blush in Frantic Pink, Cle de Peau Luminizing Face Enhancer #11 Pastel, Cle de Peau Intensive Brightening Mask, Cle de Peau Body Cream, Dior Tie-Dye Blushes in Pink Sunrise and Coral Sunset, Lipstick Queen Frog Prince, Jungle Queen, Hello Sailor, Sunday Riley Blushes in Blushing and Honest, Guerlain Greta Rouge G
Weekend plans: Work on thesis and presentation. I present next Saturday. Ah! Plus rest, first time having food poisoning. Ugh.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: I usually go with a statement necklace and classic earrings. I have three different pairs of pearls I mostly switch between, although occasionally I’ll wear other earrings.
Oh, LU! That is a haul 🙂 How do you like Sunday Riley’s color products?
I love the blushes! Smooth, soft, and pigmented. They give a really pretty sheen that does not emphasize pores. Blending was a breeze. Plus I feel the price was well worth it, because SR is more high end but the blush prices are along the lines of NARS and Hourglass. I guess they don’t offer unique shades, but the quality is impressive if you’re looking for staples in your collection. I recommend them for sure.
Haul: I got another one of my Sephora VIB sale orders which included the Marc Jacobs Beauty (P)Outliner Longwear Lip Pencil in Prim(rose), a few beauty blenders, Sephora Collection ‘the white party’ mini nail polish set, Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel pads, Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid foundation & Good Karma blending brush. I also got my order from The Bay with a Chanel concealer, le volume de Chanel waterproof mascara, and a cute compact mirror from Kate Spade!
Weekend plans: Relax, hang out with my mom, go for brunch and a run!
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Bold! 😀
Hope you had a great brunch, Meghan!
Haul: Urban Decay Fireball Eyeshadow (yay, took FOREVER for a local Sephora to get it), Clinique Cheek Pops Cola Pop, Sephora Contour Eye Pencil in Blond Ambition, Fresh Life eau de parfum.
Weekend plans: One could probably set their clock by mine, lol! Do hair (it’s quite a process!), do nails, go to meeting on Sunday, and tomorrow cooking my homemade curried chicken (a treat!)
Do you like bold or understated accessories more?: Hmmm, about 95% of the time I just wear a pair of hoops in front holes with studs in back holes, a nameplate around my neck and two silver rings that I’ve had forever. But when I do something different, it’s basically my earrings, and pretty bold! My handbags are big and pretty bold, yet classy.
Oh! Forgot to mention, I did try to buy the MUFE Nudes You Need palette, but they said they won’t be getting it in store for a few more weeks. Maybe AZ stores are just reeeally behind, I guess?
Great Sephora haul, Nancy! So many good things there 🙂
Haul: Fresh Brown Sugar perfume, Sephora Colorful Shadow & Liner in Green Shimmer, Origins Mega-Bright Serum, 3 Sephora Collections Face Masks
Plans: errands and a baseball game on Sunday.
Do you like bold or understated accessories more? Both. It’s just a matter of my mood that particular day.
Have you had a chance to use any of the Face Masks yet?
I’ve used them several times in the past. Honestly, I’m not sure how effective they are at their specific tasks, but my skin usually feels great afterwards. The last couple of times we traveled I used one after each flight and it made me, and my skin, feel a lot better.
Haul: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Tulip and Coral; Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius (repurchase); Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid (repurchase), PC SunCare Extra Care Non-Greasy SPF 50 (for body), PC Resist Hyaluronic Acid Booster (deluxe sample size, to try to re-hydrate my undereye area after the winter) and PC 25% Vitamin C Spot Treatment (deluxe sample size freebie, am trying it on my deeper lines since I don’t really have brown spots).
Weekend plans: I have to work a bit this morning; distribute fresh veggies to friends who joined a community-supported agriculture program with me (this week we got green leaf lettuce, chard, spinach, two kinds of kale, carrots, radishes, and scallions — I have to call and see who wants what); and think up something good to cook for dinner with some of the veggies. Tomorrow I get to relax a bit!
Do you like bold or understated accessories more? Well… for everyday, I gravitate toward white topaz studs and a basic watch, but I often add a big, bright scarf, or a chunky pewter-colored necklace. If I wear the necklace, I’ll wear earrings made of the same material; sometimes I wear bolder earrings on their own… I guess the answer is, it all depends on my mood — I’ve also got belts that you barely notice and big statement belts. And I’ve got some hair sticks and forks that qualify as jewelry or accessories in their own right. For some reason I haven’t been drawn to the trend for layering delicate jewelry, though.
Fingers crossed the new PC cream will help hydrate your under eye area, Fran! 🙂
Awww
🙂
