I've been really good about not buying makeup this summer! So of course, my cart for the 20% off sale, which will hopefully happen in Oct-Nov, is out of control. Things I want: all the eyeshadow - maybe the new Make Up For Ever, maybe the new Guerlain quads, definitely some of the new Cle de Peau (just bought one. It was sickeningly expensive. I can't wait til it comes

Ooooh, so happy someone else likes it! It's a rare beast that's pale enough for me and has a great formula! And I don't wear a separate SPF under it, either!

Re: super sensitive - I think UD might not be great for that, just because I've always found it has fallout? Even if it's not a super-glittery shade. And I wear contacts, so I don't deal well with fallout at all. I'm wondering if you'll like the new Clinique quads - I haven't tried them yet, but I've heard good things. And I can recommend things like the Burberry singles, which are amazingly smooth, and also *some* Nars duos - they can be hit or miss! - and the Guerlain quads.

I'm also wondering if cream eyeshadows might be good for you? Though there also might be ingredients in cream eyeshadows that aren't great for sensitive eyes. Either way, the potted Estee Lauder eyeshadows are nice, and so are the Face Stockholm.

I don't think I fully realized it had SPF. That is GREAT. I'm trying add SPF to my skin routine because, uh, health! But I must be allergic to something about it because I've had the toughest time finding something that my allergies like. But I haven't had a problem with this!
