My latest obsession is my Lorac Pro Palette and my Sleek Contour Kit.

I love it!  It's perfect for travel.  Sable is my go to crease/outer V color!

Lipstick and my curly hair.

I love threads/posts like this; it's so fun to see what people are loving.

 

Current obsessions from my stash include:

 

• Tom Ford Enchanted quad - the formula is a bit stiffer than I'd like, but the shades are beautiful and the packaging is to die for!
• Chanel Prelude quad - I'm so late to the party, but I picked this up in December and am fully in love with it. 
• Chanel RCS in Boy - ditto the above. This is the perfect MLBB shade, and I get lots of compliments on it.
• Chanel Inimitable Intense mascara - I've used this for a while now, but it's still my favorite mascara ever. Le Volume doesn't come close, IMO.
• Dior Creme de Rose - amazing lip balm, and I love the slightly retro packaging
• Algenist Gentle Rejuvenating Cleanser - the best cleanser I've ever used. It makes my skin softer every time I wash my face.

Current obsessions-
MAC Viva glam 1 with NYX Burgundy lip liner. I've found these kind if deep wine reds look lovely on me. This color would look lovely with gold eyeshadow.
MAC Viva Niki Minaj with Spice Lip liner. If you aren't into the bright color on its own spice really tones it down.
MAC Angel lipstick with Soar lip liner. This goes well with an everyday look. I usually line the eyes, contour and use Melba blush with this.

I've also been into a lot of different mascaras. The two that work for me are MAC extra dimension and Buxom mascara. I usually hate MAC mascaras but this actually lifted and extended my lashes. It was not hard to take off at all!

My new obsession (I know Im late..lol) is la femme blushes! I just own 4 but they are just like everyone described uber pigmented, long lasting and a terrific price!!!! It's so weird because prior to really wearing makeup I hated blush, thought it was silly but now it's my favorite makeup item!

I own Bordeoux, purple passion, coral and magenta. Going to place another order in a few wks.

Ids there a thread about the new Hourglass highlighters?

Nail polish is my most recent obsession! Mainly Chanel polishes, but also Butter London, Deborah Lippmann, and A-England. YSL, Zoya and Essie are also on that list, and I'm adding Dior this month.

La Femme blush is awesome. Those are great colors you chose.

my newest obsession is my Mac Zuca :)

 

got it yesterday im in luuuuuuuuuuurvvvvve!!

my newest obession is sleek contour kit

probably bit too late but i start loving dark lipsticks like deep prunes or purple etc... also eyeliners with some pop-up colours of shade with nude glosses....

Prom Princess blush from the Archie collection!

Right now, I am loving rimmel face primer. It feels smooth on the skin and I feel like I don't have to wear foundation just concealer.

Ben nye banana powder. Waited forever to try it and I LOVE it!

Mac alpine bronze blush. Sooo glad I didn't pass this one up. It goes with every makeup look! Love!

Maybelline Vivids lipsticks. Every color. They are fab!

Ooh, forgot to add Mac Pure Radiance Primer. Loving this lately!!!

Does it work for oily skin?

I was told that it is supposed to be for oily skin of color. I have not had the guts to try my samples yet.

 

My current obsession is a brown smoky eye. I have no idea why I have not tried it before.

I will second banana powder! 

I would like to know more about banana powder... Maybe where to get it? What it does? Is there one color? How to use? I might end up picking one up!

I am nc20 and it is wonderful! It has a very light yellow tint but does not show on my skin at all. :-)

It is not as dry as the more silicone-y primers but it does not make me more oily either (in reference to the oily skin question above. Can't quote bc I'm posting from my phone.).

Banana is the color of the powder. It's made by Ben nye and there are more colors. It's super cheap (I bought mine online) and it will last forever! I use it mainly to set my undereye concealer and right in my t-zone. The finish is gorgeous! It is a very pale yellow so it very slightly brightens up/warms up the skin. I am very fair so it is not a highlighter on me like it is for Kim K or someone with darker skin, but I still LOVE what it does on my skin tone. Huge fan here!

The Extra Dimension mascara is wonderful. I'm usually not sold on high end mascaras because drugstore mascaras work fine; but this one really made my lashes look amazing! I'm obsessed too!

I tried a few of these on in the store. Radiant light is the one that is suppose to work best for darker skin tones. While the powders sound great, feel great and are getting rave reviews, they did nothing for me; and when I thought about it more, I don't have a true need for them. The best way to add luminosity for me is using foundation with a slight red tone to it ; That adds a good amount of warmth to my skin and the MAC EDSF gives me a great highlight. My orange and coral blushes finish it off as the perfect icing on the cake. Plus I'm oily, so a natural glow peaks out sometime during the day, So I have a different angle on achieving glow and luminosity. IMO, my friend who is an NC30/35, these powders will be great for her first swipe.

I want a couple of those OPI colors as well!

This item is HG for me. It's works on everyone, and my makeup lasts all day

MAC Prep and Prime Natural Radiance works on oily skin like you wouldn't believe. Imma poster child for oily skin and this product has convinced me. You don't need a lot of the product (add more if you are drier) and if you are oily, you can skip the moisturizer step. It's a once and done product.

MAC Prep and Prime Natural Radiance works well on all skin tones and skin types. It is the most beneficial for oily skin because as a primer, it will keep your makeup on longer. It has a light canary yellow tone to it (a little lighter than the Ben Nye powder in Banana) which works best for deeper skin tones especially when white primers tend to gray out our foundation. It's also the same color as the Clinique dramatically different moisturizer and once it's applied there is no color left. It doesn't change you foundation color. Best prep and prime primer MAC has produced! If you have a sample, I highly suggest you try it out.
