I love Naked, I'm almost done my sample  Antique gold is AMAZING over a black base, I swatched it next to Gilt by Association (which I want but I can't have coz of my allergy) and it looked the same! The glitter version was more sparkly but its an excellent dupe IMO In terms of the holdiay stuff, I'm still debating getting a lip bag! lol the one with Fantasia lipstick in it looks dope...I'm still regretting last years holiday eyeshadow palette so I'm not even going to look at this years.. |
most probably smoke and mirrors
may my first one RIP...I lost it..lool

I only bought one lip pencil which came out with the Nars Fall/Winter Collection called Pop Life...it's this GORGEOUS red/orange colour....I LOVE IT! I wanted to get more of the pencils but realized that it would be smarter/better to buy the holiday sets (includes 3 pencils + sharpener) instead. I went to Holt Renfrew (like Nordstorm) and they never had them at that time....I hope it comes back in December. It's still on the Nars website though so I guess that would be my last option if Holt/Sephora doesn't carry it this year.
So back to my Nars haul.... - Night Porter e/s, Strada e/s, Galapogos e/s, Eurydice duo e/s (came out with the fall/winter collection) - Mata Hari Blush, Deep Throat Blush, Taj Mahal Blush - Portofino Multiple, Riviera Multiple AND... - MakeupForever Full Cover Concealer #10 (this shade is too light for me by itself so I have to mix it with Mac NW 35 concealer....I really like the pigmentation of this MUFE concealer and this is my second time getting it....it's a staple in my MU stash) - Benefit Coralista Blush - The Balm Hot Mama Blush - Sephora by OPI Nailpolish - What's a Tire Jack? (Matte Black) Oh yeh...I didn't like the colours of the Kat Von D lipsticks too much so I passed on them this time and the black liquid eyeliner was sold out. Have you guys bought or have plans on buying anything? The 20% off discount ends on the 15th. |
The folks at the Nars counter are spectacular. I will definitely return in the future.

My question is, whats the staying power of the lip pencils? I have a really bad habit of smushing my lips togethor from time to time (like when I'm thinking), which is why I prefer glosses or lipsticks with lots of slip LMAO it makes it easier to fidget! (blushes) I cannot believe I just admitted that! But yah, I do it SO I'm trying to make it a point to find some long wearing lip products! Dunno if I told you guys, but I hit up the Bay recently and picked up MUFE full cover in 12 to mixwith my 6 ...I really like it, except it doesn't mix well with its sister! I find it dries way to fast and is too hard to blend. So I mix a decimal point sized amount with my Select cover up in NW35 and it works great. I also bought the five pencil set of MUFE aqua eyes...those are going RIGHT back! soo not worth the money..I was really dissapointed! didn't last on my waterline and was average on the top line..plus the pencils were tiny and I onlly liked two of the colors. I'd reccomend Gosh pencil in Ink Black for anyone interested. It's so easy to apply, looks like liquid liner its that DARK, and it stays on even while in the pool. However, this is ONLY for the top line, its not meant for waterline and doesn't work well for that purpose. This and the extreme art liquid is HG for me! Also, ladies if you haven't tried Chanel's Rouge Allure Lip Laques yet, please try them on! they're that amazing. I have Dragon and its the most perfect red I've ever seen (so universal!) and I plan on picking up Phoenix (dusty rose) and Oriental (brownish red) With the chanel L/L these last me reaaaaaally long they even fade into a gorgeuous stain. :P |
makes me look dirty) and the combo is working REALLY well. I got so many compliments on my MU today (glows with happiness) I love their mineralize loose foundation, and I recently bought their creme base in hush, which gives my face a real nice dewy look but not too shiny! Like many of you, I cannot live without eyeliner! It has to be black 
I think UD zero is really long lasting love it!!

From the Sexpot set, Chocolate Brown and Reflects Antique Gold are the standout colours I think.|

Do I need mixing medium or does foiling with Fix+ give a similar effect? What do you think about the holiday sexpot smokey piggie set?
Also, UD Book of shadows II and superstash pencils: To buy or not to buy? I need some gentle nudging before I shop Sorry for the question overload! |
. I'm not sure if it's similar to Cocomotion.
