My Clinque Blush (Cool Down) Trio came in the mail today.  I already had blush on when it got  here but I like the colors irl more than on my computer screen Smiley Happy

 

Bought the Elf (green) sticky primer last night.  Haven't used it.

This week I purchased A396848 - Farmhouse Fresh Facial Mask and Cleanser 3-Piece Set.  It's due to be delivered Tuesday.  I can't wait to try it!

Thanks to @Dusty1 in the Eye Liner for Oily Lids thread, I was inspired to try Laura Mercier. Do I need anything? No! Do I have oily lids? Again, no!

 

But I always was impressed with LM, because I knew she was an artist-artist, though I never got anything from her line.

 

So, a cavier stick, because I really like the idea of putting liner on with my brush. Also picked up a cream blush, because I thought it would work great as a lip color, too.

@Harpa What color did you get? I hope you love it as much as I love mine.

Hi, @Dusty1 

I got cocoa, but I really wanted a shade on the gray side. A lot of colors were sold out.

 

Can you recommend any shades?

Cocoa is a beautiful brown. I use it the most.

Plum is my favorite purple liner.

Smoke is a gorgeous dark grey. Not black, but dark steely grey.

Jungle is a dark green. I don't use it a lot, but sometimes I just feel green.

A LM MA years ago told me to get Sapphire, but I don't really like to line with blue. I just got it recently & it is so pretty. Then I saw a LE color, Azure, on sale & grabbed it. It is a perfect teal blue that works so well on my hazel/green eyes. 

I think I have owned all of her colors over the years. I get whatever is on sale that I don't already own.

They don't all work for me, but my friends are usually happy to help out!

I purchased the new Tarte Juicy Palette and the new Clinque Even Better foundation and concealer. The foundation and concealer have received high marks from some YTubers, so I thought I'd try it.  The Palette arrived and it is beautiful!  I will start experimenting tomorrow using both the Tarte suggestions and Shanus' suggestions.

 

The Clinque foundation comes in SOOOOO many shades that I guessed wrong on the Ulta website and had to return it today for a much lighter shade.  I will test out everything tomorrow and let you all know my impressions.  Love getting new makeup!

This eyeshadow finally arrived.  I have it on now and loveeeee it!  It does not go on as pigmented as it looks in it's container.  It's buildable tho but I like the lighter look for my face today as I'm only wearing a tinted moisturizer,  Sparkly with a very fine micro-glitter.  Super cuted and feminine Smiley Happy

This lipstick....WOW, a teeny tiny bit goes a long way and it has to be topped with a gold or light pink gloss to temper it's boldness Smiley Surprised  Probably won't be reaching for it too often.
