I have been an avid makeup collector since 2007 and I was feeling pretty smug about how my collection was doing this year because I managed to get some of the hardest-to-find products that worked really well for me...Which made me think of a system of metrics to measure how deep the obsession...

Who increases their prices by almost ten percent when the economy is experiencing 2% deflation? MSF's are now $27, please join me in ranting.

I firmly believe that each NARS blush should get it's own thread! I am going to start one about Sin, which I feel has confused me. It's got an excellent rating on MUA, but somehow I can't get it to show up on me. (i am nc30, not even that dark) I end up using my 182, which i only use with...

Ok i know we just got really lucky with So Ceylon and Petticoat, but I have been seeing an increase of Stereo Rose on Ebay lately (I saw three today!) Do you think it could be the next one to come back? If I had a bunch of Stereo Roses that I wasn't going to use and I wanted to make some money...

Hey guys I just took a peek at Estee Lauder's financial statements, and I was pretty distraught: they make 8 billion dollars a year selling makeup, but the makeup itself only cost 2 billion. Selling costs take up 5 billion. What this means: on average, for a $14 lipgloss or eyeshadow, it...

I really dislike how our society doesn't value how much makeup is worth...I just started doing makeup on my friends and have had to start charging $1 to cover the cost of product, and I have had a lot of my friends try to not pay. I had one friend who just wanted me to use the things in her...

Ok am i going crazy or are Quarry and Tectonic relisted again, under the shadows...

Going off the thread called "how long do beauty powders last" i want to know how long it has taken you guys to finish some eyeshadows, given the frequency of use...i realize that different eyeshadows take different lengths, like I can already see a significant dip in my retrospeck but not my...

Ok i just got an email from MAC saying that my entire order is on backorder... I can understand that the Heatherette 2 trio may be sold out but I also ordered Bare Study and Sweetness BPB... anyone else having this problem? Does this mean that Trio #2 is sold out, cuz it doesn't have the death...

Hey guys I bought old gold pigment last fall and used it maybe once on my eyelids, I just opened it now and noticed that it is only 3/4 full...and when I gently tap it on my desk I would say that it becomes only 60% full. I know pigments are measured by weight and not volume so they are not...
