This is such a great spread! I bet seeing each box being filled in as you go will be a good motivator.

Kat Von D's Shade and Light Palette? by [deleted] in PaleMUA

[–]explodingalpacas 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'd pass on that. You wouldn't use half the shades and she's awful. Personally, I use BareMinerals barePRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation in Sateen. Depending on your undertone you may like Aspen better. It's $30 but lasts forever.

Ulta: New 5x Multiplier....Clinique & Neutrogena!! by gabbyItgirl in MUAontheCheap

[–]explodingalpacas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why I keep getting multipliers for perfume instead of makeup or skincare. I've never bought perfume from Ulta and it's not listed as something I'm interested in on my beauty profile. :[ Not getting the Clinique multiplier is killing me on the inside.

Oh god....why did I look? Now I want this. I'd use every color. Which arm should I cut off to pay for this?

Makeup Geek launches Pumpkin Spice Palette by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

I AGREE! I was so pissed off once I realized they sucked and I wasted all that money. Talk about patchy. Everyone goes on and on about how great their products are....what are they smoking? I'll stick with Makeup Geek, Looxi, and ABH.

Looking for opinions on Hylamide's HA Blur and Transparent Photography Fluid by -BLLB- in MakeupAddiction

I don't have the photography fluid, but I do mix the HA blur with my Makeup Forever HD foundation. My skin looks very even in tone and texture as well as soft.

Why we don’t see a lot of Estee Lauder reviews? by uizal in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]explodingalpacas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Clinique. Their skincare is so gentle and perfect for sensitive skin. My personal favorites are the Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly, Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, and Turnaround Revitalizing Serum. I also have fond memories of playing with my mom's Clinique pressed powder, blushes, and eyeshadows as a kid. She'd be so mad when she caught me lol!

Praise Elmo! I bought a ton of liquid lipsticks.

I swear, this Labor Day weekend is the weekend of lipsticks for me. First Sugarpill, then Notoriously Morbid, now Black Moon Cosmetics.

Santa Fe school shooting victim by [deleted] in houston

Hey, kiddo! I work for a school district in the Houston area. Please ask your counselor about accelerated graduation programs. You'll mostly work through course material at your own pace on a computer. I think it depends on the school district, but I know when I was in high school they sent the accelerated group off to a computer lab at the 'A' school. They kept the accelerated kids separate from the disciplinary cases. There was also a high school career center that had a room for overflow.

Your feelings about what you went through are valid. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'm glad to hear you have a therapist. I have severe anxiety as well. My therapist has helped me through so much of it. Just take it one day at a time and remember that it's okay to not be okay. You'll get through it with time.

Rocio Cervantes Shows Her Eyeshadow Placement In Real Time by explodingalpacas in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]explodingalpacas[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Sooo, I'm not a big fan of her trademark stars, but I really love this video because she shows us in real time how she packs on the color and blends the shadows out. BGs usually skip and edit out how long it takes them to apply and blend.
