Make up addicts

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna stop by Walgreen's tonight and see if I can get my hands on Comfort Zone...I NEED that brown/green definer duochrome!

nolachick

wore the browns from the comfort zone palette today. I didnt exactly use a primer, exxcept for putting MB dream mousse foundation on my lids ( i was rushing) and altho I liked the color for half the day i can tell that now (8 hrs later) it is not as bright as this morning. Guess i'll need to get a better primer but the colors sure are gorgeous! tonight i'll play around with the greens

UmbraForzare

That said, I am having a love affair with Bare minerals!

YES!
I love that range of makeup - the only thing I don't like is their mascara; so I use Benefit BADGAL Lash for mascara and I also really love Benefit Eyebright pencil as well.
It's an amazing product!!

I love the smokey eye look personally and I'm always trying to get that to look right on me, lol.

HOME!!!

Ladies, I am a make up addict for sure! I have been wearing my make up for over 15yrs.... different variations, but same basics: foundation, powder, drawn on eyebrows, black liquid eyeliner, heavy mascara, blush and lipstick... It sounds crazy, but is not scary.....

I am always buying mascara and eyeshadow! I do a smokey eye and also use my black liquid eyeliner and extend it out (more than pp did in her pics.....) I will post a pic later......

I cannot afford MAC or ne of the more expensive stuff, but I do splurge on my smashbox primer! I use it when I am taking pics or going out.... not regular work day wear....

I have 4 kids, so I think people look at me funny when they see me with waist length black hair and hella makeup, but I love my makeup, so ha ha ha!

New poster, long-time makeup addict!

I am SO SURPRISED I haven't seen any links to Temptalia yet on this thread! My GO-TO makeup blog--
http://www.temptalia.com

Some introduction randomness on my part:

--Fave brands: MAC, Dior, Make Up Forever, Chanel
--Last purchases: MAC Rapidblack Penultimate liner (improved over original release), Chanel Inimitable waterproof mascara (awesome), MUFE HD primer in Green (jury's still out), MAC Sheen Supreme lipgloss in Quite the Thing (bright purple/magenta), and last but not least... Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Rockstar (tied for fave liner with MUFE pencils).
--BEST recent purchase: Guerlain Meteorites Perles... amazing finishing powder to add a "soft glow" look. I can't use them enough!! UD's Naked palette gets a mention; although I got mine in August, I use it several times per week still.

nolachick

Oh yes, I love Make up. I especially LOVE Sephora. What I love about Makeup is it doesn't make you feel fat! A lot of people say that about shoes but I don't have that love for shoes like I do Makeup. My favorite brands are Bare Minerals, Two Faced, and Tarte.

exactly!

welcome sammy :flowerforyou: sounds like u have expensive taste lol. work it girl! haha

AHH I LOVE SMASHBOX PRIMER!! I got a freebee sample from sephora like...a year or so ago and ever since i CANT GET ENOUGH! it goes on SO smooth and is not oily like the one i had before it (it was..____ fx...im blanking on the name!!) Come to think of it, next paycheck I have to buy a new bottle because I am running low and I'd be sad to run out!!
And I am not seeing ANYTHING wrong with long black hair and makeup as a mommy! lol...just think-- getting in shape will bring you closer to the title most women want of MILF! LOL

Thank you, yes, I was already given that title by a male friend! I do NOT mind!!!!! If someone saw me, they would not think "she is a mom", and really, that is fine by me!!!! I am not defined by having children, I am defined by how I raise them!

I need to hit up the brand new beauty store they just opened, they have soooooooo much stuff!!!!

polar5554

you get about 4-5 samples a month, this month i got NARS orgasm highlighter, *love it!!* been using it every day for a month, and still have tons left!! i got a green tea moisturizer, some chocolate thats only 1 calorie per piece! some bare minerals volumizing mascara, i got two other things but im pulling a blank! But i love it!

hmmm...now that ill be working more since im in a less time-consuming rotation (psych) I MIGHT just have to invest in this...sounds fun!!

Really??

I LOVE Hard Candy concealor!!! It's awesome!!

sammybey

welcome sammy :flowerforyou: sounds like u have expensive taste lol. work it girl! haha

Thank you! Lol, I totally do favor the more "high-end" brands... but hey, I scrimp on clothes and shoes because makeup is my thing!

I also don't have access to a lot of good drugstore brands! I can't find any stores that sell NYX near me, which I have heard great things about....boo!

nolachick - of course I go to Walgreen's and they're out. Phooey! Last time I was there I was on a mission for nail polish, so even though Comfort Zone was there, I didn't get it. And I discovered that even though Rite Aid carries Wet 'n Wild (and currently has a buy one get one 50% off promo), they don't carry the 8-color Icon palettes. Time to make a friend at Walgreen's who can save it for me when it comes in! For your eye primer, have you used Urban Decay Primer Potion? I use the Sin color (shimmery champagne) every day and love it. I also use MAC shade sticks when I need extra pop under the shadows (shark skin is great for that), but I've also heard great things about Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

UmbraForzare - it is like you're going through my makeup case! I'm all about BM and used to love BadGal (just can't always get it 'cause of the price). How's the Eyebright pencil? I know you love it, but is it similar to that other Benefit brightening product that's a creme? I tried that and returned it because it made my eyes actually raccoon more. Like, it drew the mascara and liner down and made me all shadowy.

Candiceg13 - you're not crazy! I've got tons of lip glosses that I've had since high school. All the pros out there say you should toss your stuff after months or years for some products, but we pay good money for these things! I'm not chucking it until it's no longer useful! Now, get to posting your eyeliner pics!

sammybey - Urban Decay 24/7 liner...*drool*...my most favorite black liner ever (at least for waterline lining, which is what I mostly do anyway). Rockstar looks like an amazing color! The closest I have to that is 1999. Oh, have you tried their liquid liner? I have it in Gash and adore it...too bad that color is discontinued. *pout*

All this Smashbox primer talk is making me think about going in and asking for a sample.

just bought the products for a swap i'm doing on Beauty Broadcast (emilynoel 83's page).
I hope she likes it - our budge was $20 but I feel like I got a lotta stuff:
revlon eye shadow quad in black neutrals + bonus black liquid liner
revlon grow luscious mascara + bonus eyeshadow
and a cute baby pink nail polish (forgot the brand)

so excited to receive my package next week

pink_and_shiny

SUCCESS! I got the Comfort Zone palette! *happy dance* And then I went a little hog wild and also got the 3-palettes in Spoiled Brat and Silent Treatment. Also got Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama (waterproof) and Shine Sensation Tempting Toffee lip gloss (Maybelline was buy one get one 50% at Walgreens).

Now that I got the The Falsies Black Drama home, I'm looking at YouTube and finding not so hot reviews. It looks like you either love it or hate it. Anyone tried it? I'm going to give it a shot and if I don't like it, I'll exchange it for traditional Falsies. The Walgreens checkout gal reminded me that if I don't like the cosmetics that I have 30 days to return it...hanging onto the receipt!

I'll definitely report back! And...I honestly don't know what the different is. :huh: I thought Black Drama sounded cooler and it said "new" on the package, so I went for it. I don't know what it advertises that it is able to do. I'll find out when I use it today!

I was using Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion (the purple bottle) and really liked that one.

i've heard a lot about this! Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion - what mascara would u compare it to?
I only like MB colossal, MB falsies, and am starting to like revlon grow luscious.
highend mascara's i like lancome definicils and hypnose, clinique great lengths mascara is awesome too!

LOL i love your honesty... I am using good old maybeline great lash waterproof... I have tried SO many...but always go back to this one...ive used it since i started wearing makeup and have never found anything as good. I liked the lash stilletto the first couple times i tried it, but then it started to get clumpy...yuck.

I would love to be a make up addict, but I honestly never really learned how to apply it and I always say I'm going to go to the make up counter and get my make up done, but I've never done it.

Any tips for an aspiring make up addict??? :-)

YOUTUBE!there are tons of tutorials on how to apply make up - foundation, lip stick, eyeshadows, hair, product recommendations, YOU NAME IT! THEY GOT IT!

I highly recommend emilynoel83 she's my favorite!

Awesome! I'm going to check it out! I also need to get some make up...Sephora seems to be the most popular, huh?

nolachick

sephora is good but pricey (to me anyway) I usually get something i really want or have already tried but they have a good return policy so u cant go wrong. if u can afford it spend it honey!

SkinnyMiniii

Does anyone have an tips on curling eyelashes? I can get them to curl just right but then about 30-45 minutes later they lost their curl... (been told it's because of putting mascara on after curling. don't want to apply mascara and then curl because it messes them up!)

nolachick

sorry no tips on curling the lashes:s

hey makeup addicts!

Had a great day today, I returned a bunch of products that I used once and didn't like and while I resisted the urge to buy more make up I bought the MB define-a brow pencil in dark brown and the VS eyeliner + smudger in dark chocolate!(gorgeous brown color) soooo excited to try these out!

also last night i ordered from sephora - the stay put sample set and the high beam liquid? anyone tried this stuff?

oh and part of the things i returned today was the sonia kashuk blush in melon , nice color but i dont like shimmer in a blush and her brown eye shadow, didnt care for it either. thats not to say her products are not good, they usually are, especially her brushes!

hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday!

I can't seem to find a foundation that is light enough for my skin tone.

Have you tried Make Up For Ever? They make some lovely pale foundations. The other thing you can do is get white foundation and custom blend your own shade.

nolachick - High beam is beautiful! I have it and I really like it.

ImperfektAngel

I am a makeup addict and a youtube makeup guru video watcher as well lol
I have learned so much from youtube, I have drug store and high end makeup, it all works as long as you know how to apply it

pink_and_shiny

Nolachick - hmm what would I compare Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion to...well the brush is one of those little rubber spikey ones, which is nice for separating lashes out and getting good coverage. High Beam is nice! I have the sample size of that too. A very little bit goes a long way on this stuff. Your swap haul looks like so much fun! Have you tried the stuff out? Oh and you need to play with the greens on Comfort Zone. I used 'em the other day and I just LOVE all of the colors. The second green down is such a nice color!

lainakerr - I hear 'ya on the Stilletto mascara getting clumpy. And I didn't understand all of the hype over the patent leather shine that was supposed to be a part of the formula...at least my eyelashes didn't seem to pick up on that fancy new feature. I did enjoy the bottle shape, though! And thanks for the E.L.F. codes!

Chrizzle - like others said, set aside a good hour and just search YouTube for tutorials on what you'd like to learn. Of course you can go into a department store or MAC to get your face done by the pros there, but you gotta remember that they are retail people and will try their hardest to make a sale. Like nolachick said, Sephora is great but pricey. If you're going to spend money on one product, I'd say get a great foundation. For eyeshadows and eyeliner, go to your drugstore and get Wet n Wild. Their new 3- and 8-color eyeshadow palettes are phenomenal and cheap! Mascara, drugstore again, and the favorite brand around here is Maybelline.

JNicR - I wish I had some advice on curling for you! I don't curl my lashes. Recent YouTube videos that I was watching said that waterproof mascara helps to hold a curl. So, maybe give that a shot?

ImperfektAngel - I agree with you 99%, that all stuff is good as long as you know how to apply it. I can't stand crazy stubborn eyeshadows with absolutely no color payoff. I have a couple Boots colors that I really should just chuck because I never ever used 'em for that reason.



So, here's my review on the MB Falsies Black Drama Waterproof...I've used it for about four days now and I like it, but there are negativees. The wand is OK. The curvey shape is fine, but it doens't feel heavy enough to me, nor do I feel like it evenly gets all of my lashes like the mini spikes of Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion. The black color is nice. One coat does good coverage, but if you go for a second coat you definitely get clumpage. I should have known better, but I bought the waterproof formula...I shouldn't have done that. Personal preference of mine playing out here, but I've got a facial cleanser/makeup remover in one that I use and I like it to take off all of my makeup. No matter how much I scrub with the cleanser in the shower, I still have to use a couple rounds of eye makeup remover to get the mascara off. I haven't worn any mascara in two days and I'm STILL getting little raccoon smudgies under my eye after the shower brings out pigment I missed before.

BOTTOM LINE - Would I buy MB Falsies Black Drama Waterproof again? No. Would I buy MB Falsies regular? Yes. Am I considering going back to Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion? Definitely.
