    Breaking out from using eye products on face?

    Is this common? I know that if something is eye-safe, that means it's technically face-safe...but can you break out from using an eyeshadow as a highlighter/blush, etc? Any personal experiences?

    Looking for a lipgloss with multicolor, irridescent shimmer!

    I'm looking for a clear-ish gloss with relatively prominent (will show up on lips) multi-color glitter/shimmer, something along the lines of Chanel Glossimer 98 Galactic, but wondering if there's a cheaper or better dupe out there. Help me out!

    Convince me to get the 239!

    So I have a ton of eyeshadow brushes, but I'm really interested in the 239. I love my Loew-Cornell dupe, but lately it's been feeling really scratchy and when I tried the 239 at the MAC counter, it was heavenly soft...which just fed my craving. I don't own any MAC brushes, so it's hard for me...

    Do the bristles of the 239 ever get scratchy/hard?

    I'm debating whether or not to buy a 239. I have the Loew-Cornell dupe of it but the bristles seem really pokey/scratchy to me now at the tip. I've had it for a while and can't remember if it was like that when it was new. So...for you ladies who've had your 239s for a while, I'm wondering if...

    Question about cleaning brushes

    Will using a harsher cleanser make synthetic bristles less soft? How about natural bristles? Similarly, can conditioning (using EVOO or regular hair conditioner) improve softness in synethic/natural bristles?

    Backups and unopened products going bad?

    For those of you who buy backups of LE products, are you worried about it going bad? I have some unopened lippies, but I'm always feeling apprehensive about them going bad. If items remained sealed, how long can various types of product usually last?

    Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

    I always feel like if I'm eating a meal, everything on my lips are inevitably going to get consumed, so usually I wipe off before eating. How about you guys?

    Groundwork p/p for brows?

    Colorwise, how does groundwork compare to perm line mac shadows or lingering e/b pencil? Am I crazy for wanting to try to fill in my brows with groundwork? I know it's a satin texture, but would it be too shimmery? I've heard of people using quite natural p/p for their brows, but I have...

    Cream cheek products on lips?

    So I know some things are advertised as for lip and cheeks, such as Stila convertible colors... Does that mean that they're safe if they're eaten? (since let's be real, we all eat/lick off our lip products) I just feel a bit weary licking off something that's used on the cheeks, but I suppose if...

    What does "chalky" mean?

    Stupid question, but I've never quite understood exactly what people meant when they describe eyeshadows/blush/etc as chalky. Does this just mean that it's kinda loosely packed and flaky/lots of fallout? Can something be pigmented and chalky? Thanks! And while I'm on the topic of silly...

    What happens to testers?

    Just out of curiosity, what happens to testers when a LE product sells out?

    What to do about puffy eyes?!

    So I have very puffy skin (like a little pouch) under my eyes so that it almost always looks like I've been crying, minus the redness. In fact, I can't even use undereye concealer because it just makes the puffiness stand out even more! They're not undereye bags, because they're RIGHT under my...

    I Need This Lip Color!

    So I was just going through my stuff and found the most GORGEOUS lip color ever---my Stila convertible color in Peony. I'd never tried it on my lips before, but man, this is just the most gorgeous pinky nude color ever! I love it and would LOVE to have it in lipstick form, any brand. The color...

    Tinted brow gel?

    I'm looking for a tinted brow set. I have black hair, but I have really sparse brows, so I usually go for a pretty natural look by not darkening them too much so that it doesn't look like I drew my eyebrows on. I just like to fill them in enough so that it doesn't look so sparse. Right now I'm...

    MAC dupe for UD Maui Wowie w/o glitter?

    Anyone know of a MAC dupe (or other brand) for Urban Decay's Maui Wowie? I love the color, but the glitter is a bit messy to work with.

    Natural-looking false eyelashes?

    I'm looking to dive into the world of false eyelashes, but not sure where to start. There are so many out there! I really want some that are very natural looking, in a way where it's not screaming SHE'S WEARING FALSE EYELASHES, that could pass for my natural lashes. So I guess I'm looking for a...

    MAC Patina

    Okay, so I'm a MAC newbie and only have 4 shadows. I've been eyeing Patina for a while and I can't decide if I should buy this or not. I have many shadows from diff brands and have decided that I only want to buy really unique MAC shadows because I'm never going to finish up using what I have...
