My best friend just came back from a trip to Tokyo. While there I asked him to get me some items I have been lusting after since forever. I am a brush whore and Japanese makeup brushes are the best They are also expensive. I had him running around Tokyo looking for my pretty pink handled...

I did heavy damage to my wallet last week, but I love every single thing I bought! I checked out modelmayhem to read some of the things being talked about there. Some good discounts at the tradeshow as well. MUFE Flash Colour Palette - Kevin Bennett who did a demo on HD foundation was at the...

I was wondering if anyone owns Hakuhodo brushes and could comment on them. They're the OEM suppliers of numerous well known cosmetics companies including MAC. I heard that they're really good but check out some of the prices! Still, I am curious about their own line... Thanks Hakuhodo USA

Is anyone attending this next month here in Toronto? MAC is on the exhibitors list along with Crown Industry & adesign brushes, Kryolan, Kett Cosmetics, Makeup Designory (MUD), etc. I've heard about a lot of these companies from reading posts on this site, plus my own exploring on the net. I'm...

I was in Sephora the other day and happened to swatch Strada (amethyst infused with gold) single eyeshadow on the back of my hand. It was absolutely gorgeous! I'm just curious to know if it's just as great looking and how the staying power is on the eyes. TIA

Through following links from place to place, I ended up on youtube and found this depotting video tutorial from a guy named Koren. He doesn't use any form of heat, only wire cutters to cut the plastic casing and alcohol to melt the glue. Has anyone seen this method? I've been going through the...

I'm a newbie to eyeshadow. I have dark brown eyes and have managed to work with green, blue, purple, but I have so much trouble using brown shades. My eyes just end up looking muddy. I have a medium complexion which gets paler during fall/winter months. Is it just me or are there certain skin...

I hail from Toronto and I've recently had a surge of renewed interest in makeup after stumbling on to this forum. It is mind boggling the wealth of info here which has had me shopping at Mac, MUFE & Nixie for the last week and a half while lurking. I am broke but happy. It's great to be here and...
