I've seen a selection of sellers on Ebay (uk) selling Guerlain Rouge G testers. Is anyone aware whether these are likely to be real or fake - I'm a complete lipstick-a-holic and would dearly love to own some of the Rouge G range, but can't afford many at £25 each! As I'm not really worried about the fancy packaging (beautiful as it is), these testers would be ideal for me, but only if they're the real deal.

Thanks! ]]> Cosmetic Discussion Cerydwen http://www.specktra.net/forum/f167/fake-guerlain-lipsticks-154162/ http://www.specktra.net/forum/f167/too-faced-bronzer-154135/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:20:56 GMT I'm medium toned with peachy golden undertones.

I have been in love with makeup forever and have tried just about all foundations besides a short few, but I keep coming back to Merl Norman Total Finish, it seems to give me everything i need in a foundation, although I would like to find a nice applicator brush instead of washing the sponge everday or buying a new one.

I tried this after putting on make-up and it really holds it longer than my charged water.(especially when I went to the PH where it gets really humid) It also reduced early fine lines for me..

Just wanted to know if anyone out there share the same experience? ]]> Cosmetic Discussion r0xl0vesmakeup http://www.specktra.net/forum/f167/has-any-one-tried-skindinavia-makeup-mist-154092/ http://www.specktra.net/forum/f167/how-bust-open-tube-too-faced-lip-injection-extreame-154089/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:12:48 GMT How do i bust open A tube of Too Faced Lip Injection EXTREAME?

I have only seen it as independent beauty supply or beauty supply chains...

I bought two eyeshadows (Bone-a light cream color & Cocoa-a chocolate brown) YEARS ago and thought the brand must have dropped off the face of the earth...But then just found them stocked at another beauty supply a month or so ago! I bought Glow then and it's just ♥ ever since.

I LOVE their eyeshadows...pigmented and great texture (a few I have seen are chalky but "Glow" is definitely not). These e/s are HUGE compared to MAC's...and half the price of a MAC e/s. Anyway, love "Glow" so much. It is a very pale golden yellow with *extremely* subtle irridescence to it...no frost, glitter or obvious shimmer. I pair it with my stila talking eye palette/bronze and some brown or maroon e/s in the crease and it's gorgeous! I get so many compliments on the look.

I am someone who can rarely find light colored eyeshadows that actually "show up" and flatter my pale/fair skin tone....and this one is just a dream to work with :)

I LOVE the pigmented shadows, but read a review saying this line is just repackaged TKB pigments. I have no idea if its true, but if it is, can the TKB pigments be purchased by themselves? I dont know much about the lime crime line, buying the TKB is much cheaper.

First, I'm hitting the CCO in Off 5th @ Arundel Mills Mall (for all my ladies in the DMV) to see what MAC goodies I can find. (I'm about to send off my MAC Pro App)

Then, I'm hitting:

Target (Sonia Kachuk and ELF)
Rite Aid (NYC Bronzer for $2.99)
Dollar Tree (See what treasures I can find and MAYBE some more HIP blushes?!?!)
Walmart (I'm going to LOOK at the Hard Candy makeup although I haven't seen many good reviews.)

Where else should I go? What other inexpensive makeup finds should I check out?

I'm using this as my fix because I'm surprising my daughter (who is in love with all things fashion) with a trip right after Christmas to NYC for 5 days (4 nights). We leave Dec 30 and come back Jan 3, so you ladies KNOW I'm going to hit the MAC Pro store while I'm there!!! ]]> Cosmetic Discussion KeishaG14 http://www.specktra.net/forum/f167/weekends-excersion-153602/
