I want to treat myself to a few MAC eye pencils and would be very happy if you could recommend some of them to me. Mostly looking for interesting greens, grey, blacks, purples and a dark blue. I can't wear anything like plummy or brown shades with heavy red undertones, colors like this near my...

Has anyone been able to find out the ingredients for this polish? The ingredients in usual nail polish aren't exactly the best for your body either, so no listing of them here has me a little bit worried...?! And then I would like to now if two of their shades might be dupes for other brands...

These two pictures have been stuck in my inspiration folder for a while, but I can't figure out how to achieve this look, even my MAC pigments don't come close! The first one is by Troy Jensen, and as usually the products he mentioned can't really be what he was using on her! TROY JENSEN...

I love the name of this collection and the glitter polishes look like MAAHs beautiful sisters! OPI Burlesque Collection for Winter/Holiday 2010 Belle Bath & Beyond

I am sure many of you love to read SQUALID's blog, so there might be some of you who have seen this entry she posted: Killer Colours - E.l.f. Cosmetics I think it looks very similar to MAC's Wolf pearlglide, which is rather htf (at least for me) and a huge lemming of mine: MAC Suite Array -...

I noticed a couple of youtubers using these lashes... they come in packs of 10 lashes for 8-9$ on ebay. are they worth it? how do they compare to ardell and red cherry lashes? tia

... because I am afraid that they will dry out quickly, as that happens a lot with foundations and mascaras I use. I would love to buy some Benefit cream eyeshadows and a few of Bobbi Browns gel liners and cream shadows, but they are too expensive for me to only use a small amount of product...

Please tell me honestly, how different are these brushes, different handles aside? I am all for quality over quantity, but if this brushes perform almost exactly the same, I will gladly get the CS one as I can get at least 3 for the price of one 180 ... Coastal Scents: Synthetic...

I love how this colour looks on my nails, but I don't want to pay that much for a polish if I can get the same colour cheaper! Can you help me find a good dupe? http://www.temptalia.com/images/spri...hanelnp003.jpg SpaRitual Adore & Delight comparison pics Nalakovaný blog

I never knew what a difference MAC pigments applied on your lips can make until I saw this post on temptalia: Pucker Up: Warmed-Up Fall Lips Well, I need more ideas like that, so please tell me what MAC pigments, reflects and glitters you like to use on your lips! What are must haves?

Hi Specktrettes! I need a very soft (!!) brush that I can use to contour my face and apply blusher. My face is small, so it should allow for precise application. For reference, I like subtle contouring & blush and tend to dislike angled brushes. I do NOT apply blush on the apples on my cheeks...

What do you think did the makeup artist use as - blush & contour - eyeshadow - lip products - false lashes (if you don't think she's wearing any - what lashes come close to this?) and for this look, what was used for contouring, blush and lips?

I enjoyed reading this, so I thought I would share it with you Quote: So the other day, folks in the comments were talking about leggings. I'm pretty agnostic about leggings, but the whole discussion (which centered on the fact that it can be *really* hard to look good in leggings)...

Many people are allergic to these ingredients and I am one of them, so I figured it would be great to collect items free of them in one thread. Please post your recommendations for foundations, powders, bronzers and blush here!

Debatting if I should splurge on this product. There are so many Eyeliner Sealents and recipes for DIY Mixing Mediums - does this one from MAC stand out? How easy is it to work with? Can you compare the consistency of the finished artice to any product like HIP Gel Liners, MAC Fluidline and so...
