    Recs for holiday MU bag

    I am going away to Barbados for a week and was wondering what essentials I should take in a small bag. My skin is crazy as its adjusting to winter and getting all dried out, but then going to go all shiny in the heat. Recs for a small bag to create simple natural looks would be great

    Recs for brown eyeshadows

    I've been looking at my collection and realised I have no brown eyeshadows. I do own satin taupe and moth brown, but neither of them seem to come up brown on me. I like the colour of tempting in the pan, but I hate the lustre finish. I have retrospeck and honey lust and hate the glitter and the...

    MAC in Manchester

    I want to book in for a makeover, but I'm spoilt for choice. There are 4 counters- Selfridges in town and the Trafford Centre, Kendals and Harvey Nicks. I'm not sure where has the best makeup artists. Part of me thinks to go to the counter in Selfridges in town as it has huge glass fronts...

    My first UD shadow

    I got mildew today, even though it seems pretty much of a dupe for MACs humid. Anyway, I've just had a play with it and I'm really impressed. Its so highly pigmented and soft and smooth to apply. Its blended really well, even though I'm a true makeup application novice. When I use Humid I...

    Organising shadows

    I have about 12 eyeshadows that are all over the place at the moment. I can't think of the best way to organise them. Some of them hardly ever get used as they sit at the bottom of my drawer and can't find them. I already have got one 4 slot palette. I can't decide if I should a) Get a couple...

    I have a Bagatelle eyeshadow from a couple of years ago. (Was it from the D'Bohemia collection?). Anyway, its nearly finished and I am looking for a dupe for it. Can anybody recommend one? Thanks!

    Does anybody recognise these E/S colours?

    Restless TakeWing Tickles Bravado They are part of a quad for sale on ebay. I've had a look on the mac website and can't find them. I was wondering what shades they were and if they would suit my colouring. I'm NC25 with dark brown hair and eyes.

    Recs to jazz up my eyeshadow collection

    I'm NC25 with dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. I have a feeling that I'm quite a pale NC25 as I always feel like I look washed out, although NC20 is too light for me, if that makes sense. I'm trying to build up my eyeshadow collection and was wondering if I was missing out on any...

    BB Shimmer Brick V MAC Moonbathe MSF

    I'm NC25 with dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. I have been wanting to get a highlighter to get a good glow on my cheeks and brow bone. I am torn between Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks and MACs MSFs that are going to come out as part of the Moonbathe range. I've read nothing but praise for the...
