    MAC obsessed!! Especially the eye shadow, I probably have 100 of those little black cases! My husband rolls his eyes whenever he sees the bag coming in the house, I am running out of room in my cabinet for it all!! Glad to see I am not the only one!!

    I love my makeup. Not sure if it's ok to mention here (I don't want to get kicked off MFP!!!) but I sell some on the side for a company that starts with A and ends in N. I'm my own best customer! Love that I get to try everything new at a discount. Hahaha. Cream to powder eyeshadows are really awesome. Eyeshadow is by far my favorite. You can combine so many different colors!

    I think my make-up addiction far surpasses even my addiction for MFP!!!!
    I used to be a make-up artiste for Dior and was lucky enough to do the make-up for many of the Dior fashion shows in Monaco and Paris.

    My make-up collection is so vast it has it's own room in my house!!

    I wear make-up EVERY single day even if I don't leave the house!!....not like full on foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick etc but at the very least a bit of eyebrow pencil, some mascara and some tinted lip balm.

    I have a very particular addiction to liquid eyeliner which I suppose stems from me being a goth from the age of about 15!! (grew out of the goth thing...kind of...but the eyeliner stuck with me)
    ....and for a night out I love full on bright red lips or really, really dark smokey eyes.

    My favourite brands are MAC, Nars, Laura Mercier, Benefit, Chanel, Dior and Stila...oh and far too many others to mention!!! Yep, i'm an addict!

    First of all WOW - u had my dream job. My day job is a design engineer but what I really wish is to be a makeup artist and do it for the rich and famous haha. omg your make up basics sounds exactly like mine! My bare minimum for everyday is exactly:
    eyebrow pencil, some mascara and some tinted lip balm.

    and I'm obsessed with liquid liner, I buy them 2 and 3 at a time so I never run out. I have one in my bathroom, my purse, my office, my gym bag, u name it. To me liquid liner completes any and every look. My favorite is actually the cheapest liquid liner out there, only because I think its the blackest black, the longest lasting, but wont stain ur lids and isnt hard to remove. It's the wet and wild liquid liner mega liner. its soooo neglected in the makeup world (just cuz its very inexpensive? (its only $2.99) but its fabulous. I will try to post pics asap! doesnt smear or smudge, very long lasting, i'm talking 12-14hours....

    OMG! This is soooo exciting. I LOVE makeup! My dream job would be to be a mua. I'm so addicted to youtube. I'm subscribed to so many gurus that I think I spend at least 45 min on it everyday. I just spent $200 on one trip to Ulta. Feeling a little guilty and I never do... I'm going to friend request everyone! I'm new to MFP. 2nd day. That's why this is so exciting lol

    Total make up addict here! My main obsession for cosmetics is Bare Escentuals/Bare Minerals, but I pretty much love everything from Sephora. I'm a SephWHOREa! Urban Decay is one of my favorites, especially the 24/7 eyeliner in Zero and the (discontinued) liquid liner in Gash. Also love lip gloss, can't get enough of that stuff! I just wish Benefit hadn't re-formulated their Her Glossiness line. That stuff was THE best. Now...meh.

    Also, I'm a big collector of nail polish. China Glaze, Essie, OPI, Sally Hansen, MAC...you name it, I love it! I follow three polish blogs daily and my nail polish wish list is ginormous. :laugh:

    ETA: anyone tried Benefit's newest blush Bella Bomba? I've always been tempted by their cute little present-like blushes, but haven't ever purchased one. From the reviews I've seen it seems like this one is pretty awesome. Any thoughts?

    *Secret VIB fist bump* (I thought that was hilarious lol)

    I made a special trip to Ulta to just get the Bella Bomba and I didn't even end up getting it because when I swatched it, I mostly picked up glitter. I'm guessing if I had been able to try it with a brush it wouldn't have looked so glittery on hand, but idk... I have NARS Orgasm and I think it's probably really similar. I'm not a huge fan of Orgasm so that's why I was scared of purchasing, but knowing me I probably will:smile:

    wow , ya'll are bigger addicts than I am. I feel bad having a lot of drug store products cuz i feel like i spend too much on that. but wow u all always shop at sephora, mac, etc? I can't do that without feeling guilty.

    My biggest splurge was my Christmas gift to myself:
    MAC triumphant blush/face kit for $39
    $(KGrHqF,!gsE0vv1DUM+BN(qC1DdZQ~~0_1.JPG?set_id=8800004005

    love love love it, the bottom color I use as bronzer/contour, the middle color is a beautiful peachy pink that i use on the apples of my cheeks. brightens up my face completely. and the last color i never use cuz i dont like shimmer on my face. haha one day i've been meaning to try it as eyeshadow tho :)

    Hmm, thanks for your review. I do own NARS Orgasm and like it, but it isn't my most favorite color. So maybe that's pretty telling for me about Bella Bomba. What about Dandelion (I think that's the name)?

    I love love love make up. I use mineral make up since I have sensitive skin and previously working for a derm I know how bad the liquids are. I wear make up almost everyday even though I am a SAHM and work out twice a day. I would sleep in it if I could. I am seriously addicted to the smoky eye and would love to find a red for my lips that goes with my pale skin. I love the pin up look. Next I want eyelash extensions

    I have passed on my obsession to my daughter and I am totally terrible I told her she should always look her best. I do because my husband work with the public everyday and makes a lot of money and I hate to think of some chick having a better face then me..LOL.

    Anything and everything to do with makeup, fashion and self awareness. And of course just feeling pretty.

    I have DRAWERS and DRAWERS full of makeup. My favourites, and what I buy are MAC and Micabella. I've done make up for photo shoots and weddings and have many many sites bookmarked.

    Makeup is my porn :love:

    I actually don't own any Benefit blushes either. I always look at them because the packaging is so cute but I don't know... It's almost like the packaging turns me off at the same time. Doesn't make sense. Btw what is your favorite blush you own?
