Do the e/s crumble/break easily? Two out of the three current posts on the swatch thread contain broken shadows, so I was curious.

I don't think they crumble that easily, it's just that my buzzer and babydoll are about two years old and have travelled a lot in my purse

And what chipped the babydoll was when I accidentaly hit it wiht my nail.

I have few of their brushes and the quality is good but I think the handles are a bit too long for my taste.
The high tech lighter is comparable to cream colour base but the texture is a bit creamier and the smell isn't really that nice. So that's somethin I'm not that keen to.

Oh, and I forgot to swatch the lipsticks I have. Will do that too

Mine have held up well too, I've carried them around (and they're not new either) without any damages.

i went to the oxford st store a few months ago when i was in sydney. they have a really nice range of eyelashes, more exciting than mac's. i got a few pairs with feathers and some blue and teal strazz. couldnt bring myself to get any of the other products like eyeshadows and lippies, i think in that sense i prefer MAC as they have a broader range of colour and finishes.
but one thing I would recommend picking up is their magazine, they release it a few times a year and it's got heaps of cool inspirational photoshoots. great to look at when u need some new ideas!
also they offer a rewards card where i think you can get 10% off... not sure on the exact details tho

Their falshies look absolutely fabulous, I just haven't tried them since I've never ever used falshelashes. Once I tried but that was a total disaster..

Make-up Store make-up?

Has any ever heard of The Make-up store or tried any of their products? I just found out about it and even though there's only one in the US I happen to live about a half hour away from it and I kinda wanna try some of there products but I want to know if anyone else has any thoughts on how good it is before I take a trip down there.

selection of bright colours

I especially love their blushes and lip pencils, but
I haven't tried all their products yet
 
Re: Make-up Store make-up?

I love their eye dusts and the eye primer! I don't believe they have anymore locations in the U.S.

I finally went back there, and ended up buying a blush in shade "Must Have" (it's like a warmer version of Pink Swoon). Really surprised at how good the pigmentation is. Will defiitely buy more.

It's a fabulous brand. I have LOADS of it in my kit. I really love the water resistant eye pencils and lip liners. The pigmentation in the shadows is AMAZING! Great payoff with little fallout. I also use their Skin Serum as a primer on clients and everyone loves it. The matt foundations are great, glosses great, lashes unreal, and they have a magazine called "M"which showcases some phenomenal makeup. You'll love the brand.

Yeah the magazine is actually what introduced me to it. I got it at Barnes and Noble and everything in it looks awesome.
 
Re: Make-up Store make-up?

I live in Miami and I would buy from the store down here and when she was out of stock I would order it from the Denver store. The number no longer works and the lady in Miami told me they closed and she no longer carries the line either. I was devistated.

I read somewhere that they might be opening a store in NY. I hope so!!

Re: Make-up Store make-up?

I've been a hardcore fan of Make Up Store since 2005 when I discovered it in Helsinki. They recently opened a store in London and I can't wait to go in June. The eyeshadows are to die for, they go on like a dream! I need to try more products and buy some for my kit too! Everyone should try it out, it's amazing.
