    Rounding out my neutral e/s - suggestions?

    I have tons of brights, but not a lot of neutrals. For some reason, even though it's summer and brights are totally appropriate now, I'm drawn toward neutral brown-golds right now. However, I don't have many! I'm an NC20 with blue-grey eyes (more blue than grey) and dark brown hair (almost...

    MUFE Mat Velvet discussion

    I just bought a bottle of Velvet Mat +, but before playing with it, I thought I'd come here to see if you ladies have any tips on the best way to apply it. Is a primer a must for it? If so, is silicone based best? (I have a sample of Smashbox and a sample of MAC's SPF50, but I usually use...

    Frost eyeshadow problem - surface getting hard

    I tried doing a search on this and couldn't find anything, but I am sorry if this has been asked elsewhere and I just didn't find it! A couple of my frost shadows (Paradisco, Warm Chill) develop kind of a hard coating on the surface of the shadow after a few uses. It's kind of a hard silvery...

    Recs for greens and blues

    I've got lots of browns and purples in my collection, but no bright colors. It's summer, and I want to start wearing more brights! I have a few greens and blues, but I want to expand with stuff from the perm line. However, I want to make sure I don't end up buying anything too close to the...

    ANOTHER haul... and something not-MAC!

    I went to the Macy's on State today - had some time in between my final trial of the semester and a meeting with my school's externship coordinator. I meant to just go to the MAC counter, where I got: Bright side/Gallery Gal Sea & Sky Fresh Green Mix And then I got sucked into the Benefit...

    Lip piercing visibility with a retainer?

    So here's my dilemma. I have kind of fallen in love with the idea of getting a lip piercing. Basically, I want this: doll parts by ~whorer-movie on deviantART I thought this was called a labret, but doing more research on it has just confused me even more. Besides not knowing what it's called...

    Spring Semester Retail Therapy

    I'm a second year law student, and this semester has been hellish. It's mostly just one class that's bad - we're taking a case (a real one, a rape/murder of an 11 year old in July of 98) and working it through from arrest until trial. The other five students playing prosecutor with me all agree...

    friends and fam haul

    I tried to keep my list reasonable. I'm a student; I really shouldn't have spent money at ALL, but I'm trying to build up my lip collection, because I don't have any real "wearable" colors. (just port red, viva glam iv, and speed dial - though i do have wonderstruck and viva glam vi SE glasses)...

    rounding out my lipcolor collection with the f&f sale - help with colors

    So if they sold the pro pans online, I'd be going nuts with eye colors - but they don't, so I'm just going to concentrate on rounding out my lip colors instead. (I know I could just depot, but I'd rather just buy them from the store by me.) What I've got: Lipglass: Wonderstruck Viva Glam VI...

    Help me make an Xmas/must-have list! :)

    My MAC collection needs help. I have a decent collection (for a poor law student), but my mom is bugging me for a Christmas list, and I don't know what colors would be good for me to add - or what I should have had from the beginning and I never picked up, haha. I'm looking to round out my...

    Neutrogena's pore minimizing line?

    I've recently become obsessed with my pores, ever since I realized that if someone were to trip near me, they might fall into one. They're clogged on my nose, and pretty large on my cheeks - from about a foot and a half away from the mirror in my bathroom, they are easily visible across my...

    e/s finishes - using what where?

    I'm trying to get more creative with my eyeshadows. However, I have all kinds of finishes - mostly satins, though I do have a few mattes, velvets, frosts - and I sort of wonder what finishes are appropriate for what parts of the eyelid. I seem to remember that mattes are more appropriate for...

    Mini haul!

    I went in mainly to get Stars n Rockets and Amber Lights... Walked out with Amber Lights, Saddle, Blackberry, and Shale. And a Speed Dial cremesheen, haha. I have a lot of browns and pinks, but I wanted to expand my purples (I just have Star Violet), so that's what I endedup with!

    Springsheen v. Spaced Out (and maybe a trade!)

    I have both, but I'm unsure if I should KEEP both. They seem similar to me, but I rarely use blushes, so I'm pretty unconfident in my evaluation skills. Spaced Out seemed a little softer (in color) and not as harsh as Springsheen (not that Springsheen is harsh, but it sometimes comes out a...
