    N Color Nail Lacquer Dupe?

    Oi oi! I love N Color nail lacquer, it's a great beige cream polish, but the formula is really runny and takes more than a couple coats to get an opaque finish. Because of this, I'm running low! I'm wondering if anyone knows of any dupes, preferably with a better formula?

    Danse Dupes?!

    My interest in MAC collections began after Danse, so I basically missed out on it. I've since been able to get Lightscapade and Glissade, as well as Rondelle (in the Gentle Fume quad). I'm not really looking to track down the rest of the collection as a lot of it seems to be pretty dupable. SO...

    Mac #187 v. Vincent Longo Highlighting Brush?

    FOTD - "Copperhead Medusa"

    It's been a minute since I've posting a FOTD here! This was both an attempt at just a sexy, smoky eye using my Smoking Eyes quad that I got recently, as well as a tutorial, but a couple hours later I went kind of crazy and the camera fell to the wayside in favor of something more out there. I...

    Perfect Orange Lipstick???

    So, I'm totally late to the Orange lip trend by a season or two, but I've been fascinated by it recently for some reason. I'm on the hunt for the perfect clean, pure orange lipstick. I missed out on MAC's Electro, and Morange seems like it could be a bit too red-orange. I tried an orange from...

    The WaMu Buy Out - Does it affect you?

    Well, it sure effects me. I've always loathed banks, and my first experience with one was Chase, one that led to losing alot of money in ridiculous overdraft fees and other hidden charges. Not only me, but my friends, my co-workers- with which Chase was unwilling to give back 10,000 dollars...

    via Dlisted.com "I know you're still reeling from the fact that Clay Gayken officially loves the peen. I'm sure Kathy Griffin is sobbing in her closet, considering early retirement. Don't do that, Kathy. Remember. You'll always have Ryan Gaycrest. Oh and in related news, I'm gay too. I know...

    Any Palettes Availabile for CCB?

    So I'm getting into collecting cream color bases, and since I'm all about compartmentalizing, I'm wondering if there are any available palettes that I'd be able to fit CCB pots into. Are CCB's even depottable? Would it be easier to just deconstruct a MAC 15-palette and go crazy? Thanks in...

    BrushForSell.com

    Has anyone ever tried this site out or heard about it before? I found this page through another website, and they've got sets of MAC (and other high end brands) for cheap. Cheap enough for me to deem them suspect at least. ???

    Quality v. Quantity?

Hope everyone has been well, and if this thread is too much like one that exists, feel free to bury it... This weekend with the release of...

    So, I wasn't feeling all that well today-ended up calling off work-so no partying for me with my homies. However, I decided to act vicariously and do my friend up. I busted out some recent haulness (c/o Hilly and GlamYOURus as well as some old favorites of mine and this is what happened... I...

    The Croc Appreciation Thread...

    I know I'm not the only one who's got love for them. Now I know that they're pretty much the ugliest piece of footwear this side of the Ugg, but damnit, they are comfortable. Should they be used at a piece of daily fashion? Heck no, but I'm all about being able to come home and RELAX in a...
