    Sticky Lipglass

    Pushing LE Colors - Why

    Why do they push the new LE colors so much. I was on Mac Chat asking for 3 everyday warm lipsticks and 3 red night out warm lipsticks. I think 5 out of the 6 were LE and part of special collections. The last 2 times I was at a Mac store I was shown only LE eye shadows. Is it so I get hooked...

    The 1 minute depotting for Aga owners

    I am not sure if this should go here or elsewhere so feel free to move this. We have an Aga stove which is always at temperature. It is perfect for depotting. Like the flat iron depotting method without the wait. I put the whole pot on top of the cover for the boiling plate for long enough...

    I went to a pro store to get some e/s. Was sold a combination of 2 velvets. (left with my eye makeup looking like a clown) I like the colors ("slip pink" and "full flame") but found them hard to use. Hard product, hard to get color on the brush and hard to get much on my eyes. In a way good...
