impyWoo, schedule was fixed. It actually worked out even better than I dared hope it would. I have Tues/Wed/Thurs/Friday off, then I work Sat/Sun/Mon and have Tues/Wed off again. That means I miss scanning in truck two weeks in a row. :D I miss all of truck for one week.
Last night I finally got a chance to play with the testers for the Maybelline palettes. They had one for the Blushed Nudes and one for the Rock Nudes. Somehow I missed any reviews for either (I think I just blanked on the Blushed ones) so it was interesting to play around with something and not have any reviews in my head. Yeah, I admit I didn't get a chance to swatch them all because time constraints and also, there's only so much space to do this, but let's assume my choices were a good representation of the palette as a whole. If so, The Rock Nudes is awful. Just a giant glittery, patchy mess. None of the colors I tried worked out in any way, unless you wanted a glitter fallout bomb. Even with the assumption that some of the colors must be okay, and some are probably better over primer, it's still more bad than good. :/
On the flipside, The Blushed Nudes palette is stupidly pretty. I came thisclose to buying it right then and there. Only my severe disappointment with the other palette kept me from doing so. That and I couldn't figure out what second item to buy since they're buy one, get one halfsies.
But... Target has the DC Superhero Girls online. What to do? I mean, technically I don't *need* either one, and I did just buy a crapton of toys but still... Ivy! Harley! Shoulder devils! Shoulder angels! Assist!
Also, I got a little postcard in the mail yesterday about this:
A $50.8 million settlement has been reached with Tween Brands, Inc. and Ascena Retail Group, Inc. ("Justice") in a class action lawsuit about whether Justice misled shoppers by marking items “40% off” when this price was in reality the regular price. Justice denies all of the claims and says it did nothing wrong.
Link. I'm pretty sure a couple of you will find this relevant to your interests.
