    what's your favourite base for NARS Strada?

    I LOVE Strada, but it's hard to find a base that does justice to it. I usually use it over MAC Fashion Groupie or Stila Violet smudgepot. I tried it with NYX Milk, and it was just ok. What are your fave bases to use with Strada?

    Sheery Mystery Powder refills - all the same size?

    Hi girls! I'm wondering if all the Sheer Mystery Powders from all the different collections are the same size. I have a Baroque Boudoir compact, and I'd like to get a refill in a different shade. I've been looking up swaps, but I just want to make sure that Hello Kitty, Stylistics etc. are...

    MAC Warehouse haul - I love my Toronto sale!

    Here's my damage for this weekend's sale. I'm super excited about the full size brush set and the Baroque Boudoir compact (for $12! with two powders!). I also loved the selection of quads, although I'm sad the SCF ones were sold out already. And FINALLY got my hands on a cleanse off oil...

    Live chat artists unaware of B2M changes?

    I just wanted to see if they would tell me about the recent B2M changes, particularly because I really really want to B2M for a cremesheen glass, and my store won't let me anymore. I had two live chats about this today, but I couldn't save one of them because my computer was acting up...

    Any more Starflash releases?

    Do we know if there will be another batch of Starflash shadows anytime soon? I hope so, but I haven't heard anything.

    I love a good haul, especially when it's free! And I got my first ever Chanel lippie

    I love a good Murale haul! I redeemed $200 of Optimum points. I would never buy this stuff with real money, that's what points are for! I got: NARS Kalahari - I adore NARS shadows, but all I have are bright colours. Time for neutrals NARS Deep Throat - I got Torrid last time, and it doesn't...

    Why is my NW select moisturecover so much darker than NW20 select cover-up?

    is it normal for different products in the same shade to be different? edit: sorry, mistake in the title. Both concealers I have are NW20, but the moisturecover is much darker.

    Which mac lipglosses are the least sticky?

    I feel like B2M'ing for a gloss, but I don't like the overly sticky ones. I just want mac because of the yummy scent

    how to get invited to product launches?

    I'd love to go to a MAC launch. I asked at my store (TO Eaton Centre) and the girl said there is no way, there's no list. Also, assuming I do make it to a launch, would I be able to B2M, or is that being way too cheap?

    I need lipstick storage inspiration

    Help me! I'm desperately searching for lipstick storage. I'd like something with a sort of grid, so I can keep lipsticks upside down (label showing), each one in their own compartment. Something like this: Lipstick Organizer It just sucks that in Canada we can't buy all sorts of weird things...

    Need opinions on SB brushes with pale pink handles

    I'm thinking of bidding on a few Smashbox brush sets on ebay, they have pale pink handles. They're all eye brushes. Does anyone have these, and are they good?

    Stash pics... This was so much work!

    This is my humble stash. It's amazing how much it has changed from last time I took pics a few months ago (swapping will do that I guess).
