        Hey Muze…after seeing your initial announcement about the sale and those Instain blushes I literally haunted their Facebook and website and by sheer luck…got in a week ago this past Sunday night…I raced to the blush page and ordered 4 of the new Instain blushes (all but the two darkest ones). My order confirmation was immediate and they shipped them last Tuesday…I got them on Friday!!!! OH MY GODZZZZ the blushes are to DIE FOR! Beautiful colors, so creamy and PIGMENTED! I wore a different one every day since Saturday and they last on me from 6:30am to 9:00pm with absolutely NO fading at ALL! I was so thrilled with them I raced back to the site today when it went live and ordered the other two (even though they are already on backorder till 5/1). That’s okay..my order is locked in. Did you get any MUSE?? You HAVE to do a review and swatches for everyone…you will LOVE them!!! Everyone…do yourself a favor and ORDER them! It’s worth the wait for 50% off!

    I was so excited to see this all week! But $40 shipping to Canada if my purchase is under $100? I filled up my cart with $103 and it’s telling me it will cost $26 to ship. No way. I’m better off at buying full prices at my local store 🙁

    I’ve been spending crazy amounts of money lately, so I limited myself to only spending $30.
    Picked up the Powder to the People brush (needed to invest in a better powder brush at some point and the handle is just so cute) and the Betty-Lou Manizer and it’s only came to $34 after shipping and tax!

    This is my first theBalm purchase, so I’m excited to see how it goes. I always see their sales on HauteLook, but with $12 shipping and their return policy I was always hesitant.

    I wish there was better swatches of some of the cream shadows so tempted but I hate purchasing products, no matter how cheap, and not enjoying them.

    Had the site been working last week, I likely would have indulged. However, since then, I’ve indulged a bit too much for the month, and I’m holding out for the KvD Ladybird palette…

    Will you be reviewing the instain collection soon? They are on backorder and I am kind of tempted to dive in…

    I did manage to get in an order last week, and I got my package today. Two instain blushes and the hot mama blush. I swatched the two instain blushes on my hand and after rubbing my hand and about 5 hours they’re still there- faint but there! I have high hopes for these blushes, can’t wait to try one out tomorrow 🙂

    Working on an order now. I really like the site and how it shows the swatches within pallets. Thanks for posting the update as I missed it on Facebook, My total is at $119 after discounts and I’m not done yet but I don’t care for 50% off it just can’t be beat.

    Thanks for the heads up Muse! I had been checking if the site was up for a few days then tired of it so I would have missed it without your reminder. Got 2 blushes (trying to cure my blush aversion) and the Sexy Mama mattifying powder (just in time for summer!)

    I blame you Muse! I have to blame someone and lord knows I cannot blame myself for the $130 I spent. I have never used The Balm, but I adore shadows I can use wet and these say that I can do that so I am all over it!!! 🙂 Any thoughts on how these shadows compare to Chanel? I know Chanel is also talc free. I should of got the Instain blushes as well, but I am a sucker for shimmery blushes and these looked matte. Oh well I probably need another blush like I need a hole in the head! I could’ve used one for summer though hmmm..what was I thinking? LOL. Why do you do this to me Oh Wonderful Muse?

      lol janelle blake away! the powder shadows from the balm are more pigmented than chanel’s imho. They have a soft velvety texture like a cream powder hybrid. Those instain blushes are to dye for! you’re going to be thrilled with them I’m sure 😀 hehe I’m sorry but you know you love a good sale right? 😀
