It's a Poppy King lipstick she did in collaboration with Boots. I picked up a few when they were on clearance for $4.00. I liked it today, but am withholding judgment for a couple of days. Sometimes lipsticks are sneaky and don't make my lips peel right away. They wait until two days after I've worn them. Hmmm.<br /><br />Wow, a Van Cleef haul ... that would be something! Of course, it would probably only be the Alhambra line, she sniffed. (Don't get me wrong; I'd adore an Alhambra necklace. Mother-of-pearl or carnelian? Decisions, decisions!)Poppy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01532483657395207695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-23016654326675525752016-03-21T22:07:27.170-05:002016-03-21T22:07:27.170-05:00HAHAHAHA I know, the Ikea Alex drawers and the sce...HAHAHAHA I know, the Ikea Alex drawers and the scented candle!

I mean, Louboutin shoes, Vuitton belt, Cartier bracelet, RL shirt, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseam. You have to hand it to Iris Apfel: at least she mixes high, low, and dollar store. <br /><br />Also, there's far too much use of the word "luxe." Either pronounce it as if you know it's French, or say "luxurious."

Huh? <br />What gets my knickers in a knot is "Unboxing" .. I mean you have bought the bloody thing use it but I think they get a cheap thrill on the "Unboxing" and not really wearing/using the product inside ... maybe I should also say those people just Love Showing Off!! <br />Like you Poppy , I do love a Tarababyz night - especially if the telly (TV) is crumby but I wonder if you have watched this Youtuber...... would love to know what you think - BmwASH now this guy just Loves a Unboxing and I do not think there is a candle insight !!!lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-78251881254548404792016-03-21T10:40:02.385-05:002016-03-21T10:40:02.385-05:00Great post!

Those babies are super pigmented, the color does not come off for hours. I don't watch makeup videos except Lisa Eldridge's videos, which I love. I will admit that I adore a Van Cleef & Arpels haul post (ha ha, you aren't surprised!) but those are extremely hard to come by. As for the BB palette, wowza. I could never buy something like that, it would overwhelm me to own that many shades. Definitely for a professional. I would put that money toward my jewelry fund! xJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062587289685203227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-33252599441358326312016-03-21T09:56:17.720-05:002016-03-21T09:56:17.720-05:00Auntie Haul absolves you of that last. I'm beg...Auntie Haul absolves you of that last. I'm beginning to think that watching #hauls is America's new favorite indoor sport. Might as well take advantage.<br /><br />Do you watch Tarababyz? She's one of my favorite YouTubers. She buys pretty much everything, and has accumulated/collected/hoarded unbelievable amounts of makeup, but I love watching her hauls because <br /><br />1. She doesn't squee <br /><br />2. Her first impressions/reviews are very structured, and she doesn't dither or get ridiculously chatty<br /><br />3. She mentions where she bought her swag, and talks about price, and amount and quality of product.<br /><br />4. She buys all her own crap, so she's objective.<br /><br />Most other YouTubers make my neck itch. Chirping that a color is "so pretty!" and "it's so good, you guys; SO GOOD!" isn't helpful. I want to smack them up the side of the head with a Roget's Thesaurus.<br /><br />Of course, I shouldn't judge people for not using their makeup, because I have a ridiculous number of stuff I haven't used. But it's mostly because I haven't gotten around to it. <br /><br />I mean, I don't think I'm spending my days gloating over the Precious ... OR AM I???Poppy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01532483657395207695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-90252557494924787372016-03-21T08:29:19.578-05:002016-03-21T08:29:19.578-05:00Yes, I agree with this!

I get why professional bloggers like Temptalia etc. would "haul" everything that comes out and keep it all in their collections for comparison or whatever. But regular people? I admit I have never really understood the collecting impulse. Even when I was a little kid, I remember being frustrated at friends who wouldn't take their fancy dolls out of the boxes, or my sister squirreling away sparkly pencils. I always thought, "What is the point of having something if you're not going to USE it?" I'm that way about makeup now. I am also not sure where the line is between serious collector and impulsive/rapacious consumer.<br />(Sometimes I use the #haul tag on Instagram anyway, because it gets some traffic.
