Make up addicts

ayeshakane - how fun to always be having your makeup done for you. I bet you get to try a lot of different brands that you normally wouldn't.

i_love_vinegar - I have no ideas for you, but I wish you luck in your quest!

nola - drugstore makeup can really be impressive.

I actually picked up a L'Oreal HIP loose pigment today. It was on clearance from $12.50 to $3.25. I couldn't resist! It's a pretty golden bronze that I look forward to wearing tomorrow. I also saw Revlon has these new polishes called Just Tinted. I've looked up pictures online and I can't tell if I like it or not, where everyone is is smitten with it. Guess I'l just have to give it a go when I catch it on sale.

Hey everyone, well - my newest addition to my makeup drawer is MAC cremeblend blush in Tea Petal - I saw it on e~Bay and decided to get on the spur of the moment - It only cost £7 - so an absolute bargain. Its quite a dark colour so I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to get it fully price, but its actually nice to wear - this is the darkest of the cremeblends, but I dont have a problem (in fact its one f those ones that would look good if I was doing full on going out make up as well as normal day wear - unlike the other cremeblends I have which are very light - but buildable).

We have been in our new apartment for a week now and I have looked at things in Geneva - but its all soooo expensive (23 CHF for 8 razors - which are normally only about £11-12 in the UK!). I am so glad we are heading to the UK next week, so I am going to stock up on everything - then make my BF pick stuff up at the airport when he's passing through after that! lol). I am running out of my Million Lashes by L'oreal - so I'll have to get a new one of those definately - love that one!!

So not much to report on the makeup front today . Au Revoir, S xx

I have just found gel eye liner! Its the future!

Always loved Ancient Egyptians and have imitated the eye make up for as long as I can remember. ^_^

I'm such a make-up junky! I don't hold onto it though - I pass it along to my sister-in-law when I tire of it. My favourite brands are Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Stila, NARS, Sheseido and for a super-binge: e.l.f. And no matter how many mascaras I try I always go back to Maybelline Great Lash.

ummm u can pass those along this way when u get tired of them too lol.

and by binge on e.l.f. did you mean getting a lot of stuff from them? cuz for the price of 1 bobbi brown product you can get 30elf products lol.

That is exactly what I meant - sometimes I get a little "oooh, new things!!" and want a whole bunch. E.l.f. is perfect for that! Yeah, Bobbi Brown is pricey but they're my favourite blushes, gel liners and brushes.

Feel free to pass them my way too! I'll give them a good and caring new home. LOL

So remember that "I'm breaking out and I don't know why" thing that was going on earlier? I think I figured out the problem. Like y'all suggested, I washed my brushes and then wore the new products one by one a couple weeks apart to see where the problem lied. Tried my MAC blush - no problems. Yesterday I wore the Cover Girl Cheekers blush and by the end of the day I could feel a bump forming on my forehead. Today, I've got another owie forming along my jawline. Apparently Cover Girl face products and I do not get along - good to know. One of my all time favorite eye shadows is from Cover Girl! At least this stuff was cheap so I don't feel bad getting rid of it.

OH, and if any of you are into nail art, you MUST try doing water marbling! Do a youtube search on it, when you get the process right the results are too damn cool!



RoadDog...rawr!

Trish, I hated that CG smoky eye stick! Gave it to my mom because I just couldn't stand it. If you're questioning the colors you're using, maybe get a consultation at a cosmetic counter at your local department store. To get your color harmonizing down, Wet 'n Wild currently has AWESOME eyeshadow palettes that are labeled so you know what color goes where. You get three colors for $2.99 and I'm being completely honest when I say they're pretty much on par with prestige brands like Bare Escentuals.

I wear make up ALL the time!
Even if it is just foundation and a little mascara, I have to have make up on to go out of my house!

Anyone tried the newest variation on the Falsies line yet? Winged or something like that? Super curious.

I really need to try MUFE. I love colorful makeup, but even still MUFE intimidates me. Although I did swatch a couple Lab Shine Diamond Collection glosses (in #6, #8, and #10) and they were STUNNING. I'm going to have to keep those in mind when it comes time for a treat purchase (since they're $18 each. Oof!).

But, I did get a great deal at Sephora! Found a Tarina Tarantino lip gloss in the clearance section for $5. Here's the link to the sale on Sephora's site: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P259003&categoryId=B70 The gloss is a pretty orchid pink that is so nice. Very glad I bought it!

Also had a nice little visit to Bare Escentuals. When I was last at ULTA I needed a foundation refill and I asked a gal there to help suggest a shade for me. I could tell from the next day that it was off as it just didn't look or sit right. So went into an actual BE store and had one of their consultants help me out. Got my face all prettied up and ended up taking home the correct foundation color, as well as the blush and lip gloss the lady used on me. BE is having a great special where with a $60 purchase you get a FULL SIZED blush in Avant-Garden and a blush-sized jar of Hydrated Tinted Mineral Veil for freeeeeee. Love me some awesome freebies!

Yep.... I love makeup, but I can go without it too.

My favorite is MAC! Ohhhhh yeah LOL
