I've been on a NYX kick for a while. I think its run its course, because I'm pretty sure I've bought all the things I've wanted to try; well, for the most part anyway. I still have an order from Cherry Culture that I made over a week ago. They haven't shipped it yet or sent me a confirmation email. I'm guessing its just taking a while because it was during the 50% off sale.
Then there was the NYX $1.20 anniversary sale disaster. To make a long story short, the NYX website was not prepared for thousands of shoppers bombarding the site, and the servers couldn't handle it. They never fixed it, either. Only a few people were able to check out. To make up for it, they've sent us personalized coupon codes for 50% off with free shipping. I used mine today. Sure, its not anywhere near 80-90% off, but its better than nothing. Lots of people are really bitter about the whole thing. I think they could have given us a much better discount to make up for it, but hey, I'm not the one in charge. I still love NYX.

Sugar Skull Makeup
This was my first attempt at a sugar skull... its definitely not perfect but it was a trial run :) I used Kryolan clown foundation for the white, Ben Nye phantom character wheel for the black, and Kryolan UV Day Glow in UV Orange around the eyes. As for the design, it was an on the spot thing. I didn't plan it out or anything. The next one will be.
On a side note: NYX lovers, check out this new site called Beauty Joint (its in my sidebar). They sell NYX products at the lowest prices I've been able to find. I heard this information from xSparkage, and I immediately ordered some stuff from them. I am psyched.
