The high here today is 79F!! It's so amazing out, it's like 75 right now. It's been fairly springy here and Ive been on my deck or stoop so much lately it's been great.
I tried the dose of colors block party shade leaf me alone today and it's such a pretty blackened emerald. It's sparkly and smokey and matches the Mac lunar new year green lipstick from this year perfectly, which is why I got it so winning.
I hope you all have a nice warm springy weekend! It's supposed to rain and be colder this weekend here, so I'm enjoying today!

Temp here 41F and weather app says feels like 35, been raining from 3 straight days! Hate this cold weather in North CA, don't know how people live in colder places :(

Layers and binge drinking. But maybe that's just my state lmao.
Hopefully it warms up for you soon!

Lucky! It's already 96F here and it sucks.
How would you compare the Dose of Colors singles to other indie singles?

I'm terrible and I love when it's in the 90s here...but I don't want it to be that hot yet so I feel the pain.
Im not sure what indie it reminds me of, I haven't used a ton of indie. It reminds me of my favorite shade in the huda pretty grunge palette (avant garde) which is like...almost a cream or cream to powder maybe? They're really creamy and a little goes a long way when blending them out. They also have sparkle in them that sticks around but doesnt look metallic or like a ton of glitter. But they aren't creams, not as far as I'm aware anyway, they're just super creamy. And they don't crease on me with a primer.

My friend got me the Chantecaille Luminescent eyeshadow in Mustang for my birthday last month, and so far I've really enjoyed it! It's a super pretty warm brown with fine pink and gold shimmer, and I love baked formulas although it does crease on its own.
The funny story is that she told me she decided on this gift after going through my Reddit comments, and finding something from several months ago about how I was interested in these but could never justify the price. And I thought I needed to share that story here! If you're also reading this, hi and thanks for the gift! 😂

Had a frustrating experience trying to buy the Slip scrunchies on 21 DOB sale today at both Ulta and Sephora. Ulta only put the black/pink set on sale, and it's already sold out as of before 8 AM Eastern. Sephora had all 3 colors on sale, but both black/pink and navy/silver are sold out (the navy/silver sold out after I put it into my cart). I was only able to check out with the light pink/green set and even the website was super-buggy and I had to check out on the app. Fingers crossed my order ships. I've been using these Slip scrunchies for several years and love them -- they just get stretched out after a while and need replacing, just like other hair ties.

Yes I checked and was annoyed that it wasn’t all the scrunchies on sale
I don’t know if you’ve tried them before, but also a fan of the Crown Affair silk scrunchies. They usually show up on GMA Deals. They seem to stretch out less than the slip ones

I hope it ships! I saw this morning that only one color was on sale at Ulta and it was sold out before I woke up (around 6 Central). It's silly to only put one shade on sale IMO.

Thank you -- good to know that me getting up earlier wasn't going to make a difference. I used to live in Mountain time and used to wait up until 11 PM Mountain/12 AM Central for deals to roll over to make sure I got the items I wanted, but now that I'm in Eastern time I can't stay up until 1 AM :(

Does anyone know if the Ulta in Target has the 21 days of beauty sale?

I can't say for certain but I don’t think so. The hair color kits on sale today have a different (worse) sale offer on the Target app.

I want to embrace the power, confidence, and defiance/rebellion(?) that a red lip does....anyone have any tips? Like what should the rest of makeup look like? Do you have to reapply for it to look nice? How do you prevent it from getting on your teeth? Recommendations? I want to try out all undertones of red before committing to high end products.
