Jul 9, 2008 - I have the Coastal Scents version of that brush (and I think Target's Sonia Kashuk makes one now too)... I LOVE it!!! Your Japonesque traincases are gorgeous - their products are so pretty - I really want their big train case with the cabinet doors... although I really don't need it! Thanks for the haul video! :-)

Jul 9, 2008 - Oh wanted the lotion! Boo! LOL I think the gel will be fine, since I like to twist my hair into a bun & leave it all day... that gives me a nice flippy, bouncy wave to my hair. So the gel should maybe help with that.

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - I will definitely let you know how the Ulta brush is. (And as a side note...) My MAC 180 & 182 brushes shed all the time on me, so not even MAC brushes are immune to this annoyance! LOL

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - Thanks! I couldn't think of that word last night! LOL But if you want to find it online at Ulta it's called "Highlighter Powder" brush (which is what is printed on the handle), or just "Highlighter" brush.

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - Cool =) I almost broke down (from my MAC boycott) & did a little online MAC shopping the other night. But then I looked at all my MAC shadows & laughed out loud at how utterly tiny they are... so I spent all my money at Nix'ie instead ;p LOL So... I will have a new Nix'ie haul video after the weekend! I went crazy! I think I need a 12 step program to help me with this shopping addiction! haha My poor bank account! ;(

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - Oh geez, I'm the same way when I watch haul videos. We are fueling each other's shopping addictions aren't we? ;)

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - Yeah, working seven 12 hour days in a row is not fun! I stayed in bed for like 14 hours last night & this morning! HAHA! I was seriously THAT tired!! I'll be back at work in 3 hours! Boo! The train cases are really nice!! A little pricey at $60 a pop, but that's why I got them when they were BOGO.

Jul 9, 2008 - I will tell you that I don't much like gel myself, but this stuff doesn't perform like regular gel. This should do great for what you're looking for. I want your fabulous hair.

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - Oh geez =) Well I personally HATE gels - for like styling & hold. Yuck! LOL But I'll see what this stuff does. I really just wanted something to smooth my hair, tame the flyaways & make it shiny & slippery feeling (which is what the lotions usually do) I'll use these products tonight & see what I think. I'll probably use them for the rest of the week & see how i like everything.

Jul 9, 2008 - haha, they definitely need a shoppers anonymous for some of us! But don't worry, I'd be right there with you, lol. :P

Jul 9, 2008 - Do you work with any who consider themselves pagan? I know, random! pretty train case. LOve that color! It's kinda like mine. same setup, but yours looks like its made better. OMG, you got a pink one too! oh, great deal! CUTE CUTE CUTE! I have brushes or something made by that company. Great vid. Imma have to check these out. I may buy one for my jewelery making supplies to carry around. I like to go outside when I make a lot of my jewelery, so this is perfect for that.

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 9, 2008 - I do not work with anyone who is pagan. I actually only know one person, in real life, who is wiccan, and that would be my girl friend Connie =) But i have met lots of sweet pagan & wiccan ladies on line!

odrisck Says:

Jul 10, 2008 - While I envy your shopping ability I so do not envy your schedule! LOL Take care of you!

almmaaa Says:

Jul 10, 2008 - I didnt know Ulta carried a 187 dupe Imma buy it LOL thanks for your haul videos hopefully you can do a review on it.

GrobanFan4eva Says:

Jul 10, 2008 - Do you shop mostly from the actual company sites or ebay? You got some good deals, which I'm always looking for. My girls would LOVE those cases and I wouldn't mind one myself. LOL

manipha Says:

Jul 10, 2008 - lol..I totally agree ! You make me wanna go check out that brush now ..love ur hauls

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 10, 2008 - I never shop off ebay... too many scammers. A seller can put up a picture of anything he/she wants & that's no guarantee of what you'll end up receiving. Plus I hate how everyone jacks up their shipping costs to make up for cheap sales. I'd rather buy these directly from major companies, and get free shipping. I know the products are what I ordered, brand new, etc..

PinupCandy Says:

Jul 10, 2008 - Oh. Em. Gee. I love your traincases!!!!! Gorgeous! BOGO too! Love the colors! But keep the cigar boxes, they are too cool ;)

midniterose58 Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - You got some great deals! I need to check Ulta out.

ColoursandScents Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - Great haul! Some call it a skunk brush because of it's looks :)

GrobanFan4eva Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - I had another question. lol I checked out the sites and I was wondering how you get those palettes?

nastynancyee Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - the highlighter brush is on sale at ulta now for about $20 =)

erikatube Says:

Jul 11, 2008 - PURPLE TRAIN CASE! I love you. Haha.

nitalovesmac Says:

Jul 17, 2008 - how good are these train cases cause i just orders the lavender one??

twixtbetwixt Says:

Jul 17, 2008 - i am using both & they are very sturdy & I just love them!!! Got rid of all my cigar box clutter - i had way too many of those. I need a bigger traincase STILL!! LOL =) I think you will be very happy with your purchase!
