Current Obsessions - Page 9

Please post your mascara findings. I don't know if there's a separate thread for mascara already. I haven't even begun to research mascara yet. I know I'm going to steer away from the more expensive brands and will probably stick with drug store mascaras. I don't wear it frequently enough. I fear it will dry out after using it only a few times. Right now I'm only using a mascara that I got as a free sample.

What about MAC Fun Finds lipstick from new Style Seeker collection?? It looks similar to Playing Koi from temptalia swatches.

Current obsessions : Marilyn collection by M.A.C, OPI Germany and James Bond collections, Nars Andy Warhol collection, Chanel Holiday 2012 collection. I'll purchase from each, it's too beautiful !!!

I thought benefit they're real was awesome, formula was on the dry side, but they really lengthened and I don't remember my lashes drooping either.  I don't like CDior's line.

Lights camera action mascara by tarte! SERIOSLY, I LOVE IT! I have VERY sensitive eyes, etc.. It's $19, BUT QVC has 3 for $37-ish? Don't quote me...

Illamasqua Tweak and MAC Petals & Peacocks. My love affair with Perfect Topping MSF continues as well...it's bordering on crazy, lol.
 

Tweak is beautiful! I got Tweak and Excite last year and they are 2 of my favorite blushes!!!

Lipstick obsession has come full force.

Sugarpeach84 - thanks for that combo. I'm def going to try it!

Wow - 3 palettes full! Egads! They must be a thing of beauty!

 

I decided to hold off getting a lot of them until I used up at least 5 or 10 of the blushes in my collex.

 

I'm trying to toe the line w/makeup purchases.

I'm obsessed with the Embryolisse moisturizer. It makes my normal/dry skin feel so good and hydrated and it serves as an incredible primer. Everything goes on much smoother.

Real Techniques brushes. I have the foundation, blush, and concealer brushes. I have a couple of others b/c I bought them in sets, but those are the most useful.

The new Rouge Allure lipsticks by Chanel. I bought 2 and I plan on hauling more. The perfect lipstick formula.

MUFE Aqua Cream in Black. It's brand new and it's amazing. It can serve as a base or a liner. Creamier than their Aqua Black liner and won't dry out as fact.

MUFE Aqua Rouge lipstick. The stain on one end and gloss on another. The best stain I've ever tried. Does not dry out your lips and does not move until you use makeup remover.

MUFE Liquid Lift foundation. Great coverage, blendable and doesn't settle into laugh lines. My favorite foundation right now.

I love Petals & Peacocks.

 

I was sad that it didn't make the By Request collex.

 

Perfect Topping is so lovely! I use mine sparingly!

 

I think that has to be one of the best msfs MAC made.

 

The finish is just lovely - smooth and soft. Not glittery at all.

Lol, I couldn't help myself! I figure with the large color selection and the inexpensive cost, I couldn't go wrong.

Based on your recommendation I just ordered NARS SCHIAP. As a breast cancer survivor I've decided to wear PINK themed makeup for the entire month of October, breast cancer awareness month. I already have MAC's Hue & Please Me. If you have any eye/makeup looks to support my October project I'd love to hear them. Thanks so much.

Medgal07, What a great idea. I'm definitely going to jump on that bandwagon!

 

Pink lippies for October!

AWESOME!!!!!   

as a person with ulcerative colitis with a 70% chance of developing color cancer later in life . ill wear pink nails in october. please start a thread where we can all post pink looks in october. ill actually look for 31 pink polishes in my stash to do pink manis.

Kimibos, I LOVE your idea!  I'm aware of the challenges related to your illness and hope that you have in managed and controlled to the extent possible. 

Should we start the 'AWARENESS THREAD' in September and continue to the end of October?  'Stand Up to Cancer,' a nationally televised fundraising event airs September 7th.

 

This was my favorite performance from the event in 2010  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sgjHlF84Yc&feature=related

It's very inspiring.

My mom is a breast cancer survivor, I'm joining in too!

Count me in too, my family has a history of breast cancer and I've had some issues in the past so I am very worried about myself so I'll show support too

I'm now obsessed with BareMinerals. I hate the foundation but their color cosmetics are to die for. The eyeshadows are sooo pigmented. I love their eyeliner in 9PM It's a deep brown and I used it on my eyebrows a lot. 

Blacktrack+ winged liner... This phase has been going on for 2 years... 

With all the beautiful warm sunny weather we're getting over here, I've been obsessing with bright, vibrant eyeshadows teamed with a jet black mascara to give my eyes that extra zing!! If i want to dress it up a bit I just add the ever sexy "blacktrack" wingtips. Today I'm wearing MAC Gulf Stream. I coloured in my lid area up to the crease with white eyeliner as a base before applying the MAC Gulf Stream for added brightness!!

Current obsessed wtih:

 

- Pink cheeks, especially Magnolia Makeup Kawaii Blush. It's very cute

- Coloured brows - love filling them in purple

- Highlighters - Loving my MSF's atm

- Pigments - Magnolia, Sugarpill, OCC, every day is a new and wonderful experiment >_<

- My nails - for the first time in 7 months I can wear nail polish again due to a change of job. Yayy

- Black Milk Leggings.. i have an addiction 0_o

I've never paid much attention to their blushes. Is Kawaii a bright pink?

 

This made me Google Black Milk Leggings... they've got some great stuff!  I try to stay away from leggings, though, since I'm short and thick. 

I'm obsessed with MAC's Kohl in Powersurge  and Ladybug lipstick 

I'm obsessed with an oldie but goodie MAC's Spite Lip gloss. I don't know why I stopped wearing it but I'm back in love....

I went through a 6 month long purple obsession phase which was pretty much lots and lots of MAC's Violetta (Villians one <3 I love the packaging!) but I only have one and I tried to use it very carefully so I worked my way off of the purple obsession and now I'm on to..PEACHES!

 

Fresh, clean peaches. Far away from purple!

I'm absolutely in love with Revlon's Smoked Peach matte lipstick right now. It took me awhile to find the perfect soft, pale peach color I wanted, since most of my searches for peach colors came up as a more salmon color.
