    Does anyone use Retin-A?

    I did search, but all the threads were really old.. I've just started using Retin-A, .05%. I've been using it less than a week, and already I'm being told I look 5 years younger. I'm having a bit of irritation though - basically any moisturizer I try is too harsh, so I've just been using...

    Is Temperature Rising lip liner similar to...

    Makeup Forever's orange lipliner? Their orange is called 17C - I'm about to do an online Back To The Beach order cos I know my MAC counter is going to be sold out of most of what I want. Ive been searching for months for a dark orange liner - 17C is ok but it's a little light. I was hoping TR...

    question about the Pret a Papier chromagraphic pencils

    Is it pretty safe to say they wouldn't be "faked" yet? I missed out on getting one and they're sold out everywhere, and I really want one. There's a couple on Ebay, but I just worry about fakes.. but then it's usually the more popular items that have been around a long time that are faked...

    New Jordana "Glitter Rocks" Eyeliners

    I was looking around Walgreens the other day and saw these... the light blue one looked nice so I bought it on a whim - honestly didn't expect much, but these are actually really nice, and quite good quality for 1.99 - they don't smudge at all. They're like the Urban Decay 24-7 liners - they go...

    Beaute

    I will preface this by saying I searched for a thread about Beaute and didn't find one - if there is one, apologies and mods pls merge. I discovered Beaute cosmetics last week watching another one of my recent discoveries, pixiwoo's makeup tutorials on youtube. She's incredibly beautiful...

    Exactly how much caffeine is in Fix+

    Does anyone know? I mean, if you gave your face a spray or two, how much caffeine would you actually get in your system? 2mgs? 20 mgs? I ask because I just bought some, and then I got it home and realized it had caffeine in it :/ I can't have caffeine - I can't drink coke or coffee... but I...

    I Freaking LOVE Lollipop Loving

    I'd heard the hype and while I thought it was pretty in pics, enough to want to get it, I really didn't get the hype. I don't generally wear light lipsticks, either - I just feel like darker ones look better on me. But I swatched it at MAC and it looked really pretty, I was intrigued, so I...

    No love for Most Popular?

    Reading about everyone's HK hauls, I've noticed that no one seems to mention Most Popular l/s. It was the only color I really liked - I find that light colored lipsticks just don't work on me - none of these light pink, candy pink, frosty, lavendar, peachy colors - they look so good on other...

    Cocomotion - you mean GOLDmotion?

    So I got paid 50 bucks for fixing my landlord's computer yesterday, so of course I took it down to the MAC counter today They had Cocomotion pigment, but didn't have a tester so I couldn't open it or anything, but I bought it based on the color in the jar. I also bought Constructivist Paint...

    I am in love with the Mineralize Skinfinishes

    I ordered So Ceylon from the Nordstroms website and got it recently (they didn't have it on the MAC site), and I was just amazed and how it made me look - it looked so natural, even though it seemed a bit 'much' in the pan. I've been using it every single day - I even bought a new brush to put...

    Gilroy CCO Haul

    So I'd been wanting to check out the CCO forever, I'd never been before... I went in and at first was disappointed by the selection, and so I asked rather sadly, didn't they have any pigments or paintpots? Of course, they said, they just keep them in the back They brought them out for me, and...

    MAC Irridescent Pressed Powder in Belightful, and Cream Color Bases..

    So, just got back from the Gilroy CCO, and I got among other things, a Cream Color Base in Bronze, and an Irridescent Pressed Powder in Belightful. I was under the impression that the CCB was sorta like a Paint Pot, but I guess I'm wrong - they're like Stila's Convertible Color, meant to be used...

    Hi from the Bay Area

    Hey guys.. just thought I'd say hello - I love makeup but I generally buy Lauder, UD, Lancome and Clinique, along with NYX and some drugstore stuff, ect. I have some liquidlasts and fluidlines, and that's it. However, I started watching the makeup guru girls on youtube, and so many of them use...
