september favorites & hit pans

hi guys! i've got another favorites post for ya! plus two hit pans because...well they didn't make it into the empties post.. i messed up when i was taking the photos.. oops. anyway close enough, right..? ~Lin-chan ^.~
favorites:


liner in black, rigel, sweet cheeks
  1. it cosmetics no tug gel liner in black -- got this liner in a recent ipsy bag and i love it for the waterline. it's so black and does not tug..as it's name states. i made sure i bought a full size this month when it was on ulta's 21 days of beauty!
  2. it cosmetics superhero mascara -- this has been the new go-to mascara since i got it in my ipsy bag. it's basically everything i wanted in a mascara and more - curl, volume, slight separation, super black, doesn't get clumpy by 2 passes on each eye (one eye, then the other, repeat). i'm very impressed with the it cosmetics things i've tried (that were my shade), no complaints!
  3. nars rigel -- this is such a pretty shadow!!! i bought this with the money (plus a lil) from when i returned the makeup forever liner, because that's an expensive liner for it not working out on me... anyway, i really love this peachy golden shade!
  4. wayne goss #17 brush -- i'm too lazy to check, but i'm almost certain i mentioned this brush before.... so good for getting all over the lid because of the massive size!
  5. be a bombshell blush in sweet cheeks -- it's been a while since i got back to this blush. this is actually my second of this blush, the first came in one of my first few ipsy bags. it's such a pretty blue-toned shimmery pink. it's awesome.
  6. makeup geek vault palette -- t got me this for my birthday and i actually didn't start using it regularly until pretty recently. i think this is great for the absolute favorites to travel back and forth with and it has a nice sized mirror.
    1. contains: makeup geek shadows in baby face, barcelona beach, havoc, ardency inn rose gold, benefit hoola, ofra bliss.
random favorites: 
  1. phoenix wright ace attorney: spirit of justice -- i'm almost finished the main story, and i just bought the extra turnabout DLC this week and will start it pretty soon. so far i like it a lot, but there are some aspects that i think are dumb. 
    1. for whatever reason, they thought it was necessary to have the divination seance video play during each and every case when you're in khura'in. so long. but, they have a skip button, so it's not as bad. (even the demo had the full length of this cut scene...)
    2. some turnabouts are multiple parts. some of them have little summaries if there's going to be more parts. ok i get that. but for whatever reason, they decided to add in this almost epiphany thing where it's like the person's thought process and you have to pick one of two to three answers to 'find the truth' of what happened. really guys... idk. i don't recall this feature being in any of the previous US-released games, and don't really understand why they thought this was necessary.
    3. the 4th turnabout was stupidly short, shouldn't have been two parts, and was just a way for them to have you play as a character you've never been, as well as bring back two people that were in previous games...for just like 1 hour or less of gameplay.
    4. i haven't looked into the two theater DLC, but it seems kinda weird to buy them for $4 each if it's just a 'theater' video or something........... i did get the costume DLC when it was free, and it's ok. not quite as good as the last game.
  2. lever 2000 bar soap -- so random, but not really. teh paul likes using these and we buy them in giant packs from sams, so i decided to steal the very end of one of them and try using it on my makeup brushes. it works. omg. liquid foundation is gone, bristles are white again, it's great!
    1. note: tougher liquid foundations like my estee lauder double wear light are still pretty tough to completely remove product and get the bristles white.
hit pans
  1. makeup geek baby face -- i just hit pan on this one just last week. such a great skintone shade!
  2. makeup geek barcelona beach -- this is still my first one, but here's the current progress on it.
