I like her brows.

I rather look at thick natural brows than overplucked ones.

I like thick, natural brows too. Hers are not natural, though. She might have perfectly good brows, but we can't see them - they've been painted over with something that's way too dark and solid.

Not to get in the middle of a cat fight here, but les Français ne prononcent pas correctement certain sounds in English either. Yes, Anglophones usually have an aspiration with p or t, unlike classic French. But most French i know have lots of trouble with the two "th" sounds, one voiced and one unvoiced, in English. And let's not get started on the sound of "r".

I think getting an Anglophone to say "ah-pray" is good enough. It sure beats "a-pree" or "a-prez".

Franchement, most adults have difficulties learning to make sounds in foreign languages that are not in their mother tongue. Je pense que ce forum is not the place for people to slam each other for how they pronounce words that are foreign to them. Let's help each other out, not sneer or laugh at others linguistic inabilities.

I didn't read this as a catfight or a slam at all, just yet another side conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with makeup. This one just happened to be about language; could have been about action movies, books or the like. We have enough of them around here. I like languages and find them interesting; I enjoy the nuances of how a sound (like 'r') should be pronounced even if I can't replicate it. Ask a movie buff or history geek a question about a subject and you may just get more of a response or discussion than was perhaps desired, but I don't think that means that anyone is being mocked. :)

My real life example - I know better than to display even the slightest interest in one of my son's video games or a football game my husband might be watching. No good can possibly come of that.

was digging this collection when i saw it. the mineralize conditioners are in a tube like a geleé but skinner. so they are very sheer not like the photos we were seeing from fashion week in lipstick form

Great, beautiful and gorgeous photos. Tx for sharing kimibos. Loving the one with the black/gold lippie in it. I can't wait to get my hands on this shade.

Don't give MAC any wrong ideas. Otherwise we will see glue-on brows in one of the next collections.

uhhhhhhhh now I understand why there was a "cat fight" ahahah I've always listened french people to pronounce Apres in the first way.... and that is the way I've learnt it when I was young. The second way is quite odd to me.. Ah prey ??? but I guess language is an odd thing by itself and changes in the years and can be different from place to place (does it make sense?) for example, If I go to the south of Italy I can't understand people speaking italian -_____-
So probably in Canada it's pronounced "ah-prey" but for French and europeans it sounds quite strange.
Love. always!

*edit: I apologize for my english which is not perfect at all!
