I know lots of people have been hoping for some new paint pots! It might be worth checking out the new Estee Lauder double wear cream eyeshadows, very very similar to MAC paint pots, and some really nice colours. (The double wear eye pencils are amazing too!)

Am going to treat myself to a pigment this eve (i must admit i'm not mad about them *ducks* but going to give them another chance lol!!) Since hitting the grand old age of 28 i've mostly been wearing browns/coppers/neutrals, so am looking for something in that vein. Pigments i already have are...

I saw a thread about "Make up store" in the Hauls section, and it just reminded me how much i LOVE their stuff.... I picked up a few bits and pieces in Sweden last year, i'd LOVE if we had a store here (Ireland). Any other fans?

So last night i went for a few drinks after work. A few turned into far too many, so by the time i stumbled home i just wanted to fall into bed, make up and all. Had the most awful dream, there was a fly and it was diveboming me, flying around my head, the noise was just awful. (Except little...

My ex/friend (yes its one of those on/off, ross/rachel messy situations!) is in the forces. We've just heard on the news that our troops may be sent to Lebanon as part of the UN contingent out there. He doesnt know yet if he'll be drafted or not He's served in the Lebanon before, and in the...

Went to my mac store to get Lure today and they also had the new She Shines pigments!! I got Dazzleray and the pinky one (cant remember the name and ive left them in the car).... might go back for some more later! I'm in Ireland by the way!

Hi guys. I bought these two pigments the other evening and decided to use the Ask an Artist tool on maccosmetics.com to get some idea of what to pair them with. This is what the lady suggested for anyone who is interested! For softwash grey she suggested two looks. 1. Apply Graphito paint to...

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Arranged a swap on MUA last week, the sender didnt have many tokens but asked if we could send at the same time. As i dont have a great many tokens either i agreed. We had both arranged to send out the following day, which i did with DC. That was...

Hi guys Are MAC generally ok about returning products? I normally use Studio Fix powder but bought the fluid to try and just cant get it to work for me.... the colour is too yellow and the texture too thick and doesnt blend well on my skin. Do you think they would be ok about changing it for...

I feel like a cheating spouse lol... went shopping yesterday and deploying stealth manouvers snuck past the MAC counter to the......... Stila counter... where i got 4 eyeshadows. I did go back and get uncommon blushcreme and strawberry blonde lipstick out of guilt lol!

Just a quick question I use a self tanner every week, all over except my face. Should i be using a darker colour foundation to match? I normally just use bronzer/blush to tan my face... but was pondering getting some studio tech in a darker colour to mix with my NC20. I'm trying to avoid the...

I love wearing pinks and plums bit i find if i use a full on pink colour on my lid i get the dreaded conjunctivitis look, not good lol! Was thinking of one of these to use as an all over wash, with a hint of pink on the outer lid and a darker colour in the crease: Vellum Vapour Naked Lunch...

Any recs?? (especially from any German ladies!) I got some eyeshadows last night and their waterproof eyeliner and i'm impressed! I noticed they have an eyeshadow base... has anyone tried it? I'm also wanting the liquid/powder compact foundation (to add to my foundation mountain sigh) TIA!

Ok so my ex is seeing someone else. And it hurts. Am scaring myself with the way i feel.... i feel like a psycho bunny boiler ex. I want to ring him and ask him if he's still seeing her, if she's better looking than me, why she's worth being with and im not.... why she is so much better than me...

Hi Guys I've been looking around at some make up courses and have come across these two and just wanted some opinions on which one to go for.... there is a basics and intensive course. Ive never had any formal make up training but i feel the basic course is very *basic*. I'm a huge make up...

Ok so ive finally discovered (1 full 15 pro pan pallette later lol) that pinks just dont look good on me. And im a bit bluegh about purples too. Sigh. So am thinking of selling/swapping. The ones i know dont work for me/dont particularly care for are: Idol Eyes, Digit, Amethyst, Swish...

Hi guys have a big night out this weekend (its my birthday yay!) so want to do something different make up wise... I usually go for quite bold smokey eyes but was thinking of doing the opposite and having a neutral eye and bold lips. Am thinking: Goldbit e/s and blactrack fluidliner to line...

WOW!!! Was rummaging in my sisters room and found a random lipgloss so just tried it on... a few mins later i felt my lips burn like hell (the blurb on the box will tell you to expect a "mild tingling sensation" yeah right!). Fair enough, i think, thats what i get for putting on someone elses...

Ok its not till 21st but i'm mega bored in work so indulge me! I'm wearing a brown dress with bronze shoes and bag.... was thinking of going down the bronze/brown route make up wise too... or should i go for something totally different? Was thinking of something like mulch on my lid, with some...
