I've recently started watching Mad Men and couldn't resist wet-setting my hair. I often wear retro makeup but my hair is completely straight --- I really enjoyed wearing curls with it. It's a simple look but definitely my favorite style of makeup. My hair is also quite long, so I rolled...

This look was created using a mishmash of different brands. Face: Revlon Colorstay in Ivory Revlon powder Maybelline concelar (the old-school stick kind) Coastal Scents 78 Palette blush (peachy) Eyes: TFSI MAC Creme Royale (inner corner, under eye) MAC Golden...

Still struggling to use Fyrinnae's dark colors. For this one, I tried to use Pumpkinfire on the outer v and ended up having to go over it with MAC Lucky Tom from the HK palette. Face: Revlon Colorstay in Ivory Revlon pressed powder Coastal Scents blush from 78 pallete (peachy...

Right now, my favorite punchy eye is: a peach inner corner Gulf Stream on the middle of the lid and middle of the lower lid (beautiful bright seafoam teal frost color, LE) Climate Blue on the outer eye with a dab of black to deepen (beautiful purple blue color, LE) Lots of black...

Did anyone else purchase from the recent Cherry Culture sale? I made my first order from them, a tiny one, on October 30. According to the website, it's still in the processing stage (that just means they've received it, and it hasn't moved to being packed or sent). The site clearly...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a subtle nail polish --- something that is translucent and natural looking but at the same time would look neat and polished. It's a gift for my Mom, who does not like strong nail color. An example of what she likes is OPI Sand in my Suit, but one...

The light wasn't the best today, but I got pics as clear as I could. Products used: MAC Creme Royale from HK palette (inner corner and under inner eye) MAC Melon pigment (lid) Fyrinnae Electro-Koi (outer 1/3 of lid) Fyrinnae The Fancy Lad (crease) Fyrinnae Kamikaze (outer v) Urban Decay...

Did anyone else notice that on the latest episode of Glee (the Britney Spears one) Rachel whips out an Urban Decay compact during the teeth-dye scene?

A few weeks ago, I stopped being able to access the Canadian MAC site and am now bounced to the US site. I liked the Canadian site much better --- I find the US one very cluttered and it makes it difficult to browse (and stuff doesn't work... when I click on any kind of finish in the pro pan...

I have oily lids on which everything creases --- except with TFSI. TFSI makes my shadow stay put all day. So I've used Shadesticks and they certainly crease, except over TFSI. I'm just wondering if any other oily lid girls on whom Shadesticks crease w/o primer but work WITH primer have tried...

I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to do the bang-side-french-braid for a couple of months. In this video, Shear Genius winner Brig Van Osten (she is awesome) finally helped me figure out how to do it. I was chased down in the grocery store today by a person who marveled at how well I did mine...

Did any of you feel it? I'm in the Toronto area and was in my highrise apartment --- the whole building swayed back and forth and things shook, but nothing fell or broke. I almost peed my pants, though --- I've never experienced anything remotely like that before. Earthquake measuring 5.5. felt...

I've been perusing some MAD Minerals swatches. I'm looking for something reminiscent of MAC's Style Black collection. Any recs?

So I used to intermittently dye my hair a platinum color. I was white-blonde as a child, and my hair has been darkening ever since. Right now, it's a dark blonde and I hate it. My face is beige, my hair is beige I prefer wilder hairdos, but am currently job-hunting and need to keep it in the...

I have really fine, straight hair that uncurls itself almost immediately after I curl it. The only thing I've ever had work reasonably well was Joico Con-text, and that's been discontinued. I browsed the selection of new salon-quality hairsprays available and it seems infinite (it literally...

Has anyone here tried the L'Oreal Healthy Look hair dye? I bought it in 8.5 Blonde (formerly White Chocolate, I believe). My hair is a medium to dark blonde with some grown-out highlights. I would also be interested in hearing your experiences with wash-out colors (non-permanent dye... Like...

Suddenly, bright lipstick and gloss is feathering on me all the time, and I use liner. I'm pale so it's REALLY obvious. What can I do? I really hate the way this looks! I've heard that the UD Ozone pencil was good, but any other tips and tricks would be appreciated.

Yesterday I picked out Ruby Woo at a MAC store --- I wanted a bright, tomato warm, true red. I got home and instead, I was given Russian Red. I have really deep purply-fuschia lips, so they tend to make colors appear cooler and deeper. Tomato red is the most flattering on me. I know that even...

I have this in the Hello Kitty quad and adore it (especially over Lemon Chiffon shadestick). But it was LE, and I'd like to get something as close as possible to this shimmery yellow gold. It doesn't HAVE to be the same finish, it could be more matte or whatever.

I'm NC 15 (possibly a little lighter)! I have blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. I have: Creme Royale Paradisco Stylin' Lucky Tom Gulf Stream Climate Blue (on it's way!) Blanc Type Omega Brown Script What shadows should I get to round out my collection? I was thinking about: Naked Lunch Plumage...
