I love, love, LOVE my carbon.
I think a lot of girls just own this in general - one of those "staple" colors. I am not sure though. I read here that blacktied loses it's sparkle and is overrated. Soo - I guess it just ends up looking like carbon anyway! I like that I can use carbon as just a matte black color though since I don't really care for tons of glitter going on. But if you're into that I'd look into the other ones. It might not wear off as easy as some seem to think. Everyone seems to differ on certain things >^_^< Like their liquid foundations, tons of people here complain and warn about them and my mother has never had a better foundation in her entire life and she has oily, acne prone skin!
