    Joe Blasco's $350 artist textbook?

    Has anyone bought this, or gone through it? How comprehensive is it, and is it worth the incredibly hefty price tag?

    Crown Brushes - questions & discussion

    Are these any good? Their website is mind-boggling, I'm not sure what's good. I've been tinkering with the idea of starting a brush/makeup accessories line. I've already heard good things about japonesque and asked them for a catalogue. I just wanted to find out a little more about Crown.

Mine were both Cacharel (it was the 80's!) - Anais anais and Loulou. Anais makes me gag now.... Loulou am not so sure - haven't had a whiff of it so I can barely...

    Where else for pigments?

    There isn't a Pro store where I live, and the pigments variety available at the counters here are pretty sad. Besides Ebay, is there any other place online I can purchase them? Ebay has mostly sample sizes, and many don't ship outside the US. I want to start collecting full sized jars.

    Blk Fluidline vs Creme liner

    Which of these gives a solid jet black finish? How would you compare MAC's original Creme liner to their new product? I'm not sure about getting the blk fluidline cuz I already hace the BB gel liner, but the BB one is a very soft black, even layering it does not help much.

    frost bitten

    Hi all! This is my first post here... I truly adore MAC and heavily rely on it for work, but why are SO many of their new products frosted finishes? Eyes, lips, cheeks..almost all are heavily frosted it's driving me a little nuts... Am I in the minority here? I just really don't like frosts.
