Chrissi?

I covet those Stila palettes - I think out of shadows I like theirs the best.

I did the liquid liner today, no problem.

I'm buying them one at a time, one a month. I want this one next.

One of my other Stila favorites is the Cherry Crush lip stain. It's neck and neck with my smashbox O-gloss.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

One a month, eh? I like that way of thinking

March isn't too far away and I do need spring colors, heh.

I always see the O-gloss but never buy it - so it's worth it?

I've also been tempted to buy the Smashbox "try me" box. Only $30 for all that stuff?

 

[nurse chrissi]

OOooh! Tell me about this one. I'm always looking for something to help my skin. what did it do for you?

I finally found a cosmetic dermatologist that understood that I was sick to death of my skin - she (this is the only subspecialty of medicine where I think having a female MD is better) put me on Yaz BC and BenzaClin gel and then the skinceuticals serum Phloretin CF ( I just switched to this new one)

(I'm truthfully thinking strongly about dermatology as a NP once I graduate)

As for the o-gloss – meh – you can get the same results with any drugstore lip gloss that is a sheer berry color. Not nearly as good as the o-glow

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

You're back in school, too? Seems like a bunch of girls are.

When do you graduate?

Cool deal. I'm about a year from getting my paralegal degree.

Scripts, eh?

I have Goldmine and heart it. I love gold eyeshadows. I also highly recommend Ricepaper. (MAC) More neutral gold.

I have 2 Stila talking eye paletts.
Original smokey eye. Love it, love it, love it.

Also have a Purrfect Eyes. Kitten is one of the colors.

I am not a fan of cream eyeliners. I don't get the precise line I like. I've been using Loreal liquid eyeliner with the little tapered brush for years and still love it. I don't really like the felt tipped liners either. The brush is harder to use but all it takes is practice to get the looks that you want.

Ooooh wowowowoweeeeee!! i love those stila shadows. Thanks for the tip about MAC ricepaper, I shall check that out. Not that I need any excuses for checking out makeup heh

Am still debating whether to get myself that NARS deep throat blush?

 

[kafrun]

Nars lip gloss - Turkish Delight. That is all.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Is that a nude?

I need a better nude gloss - not really loving Orgasm anymore. It's just alright.

 

[kafrun]

It's a bit peachier. I love this colour. It was sold out all across Canada when I was looking for it, so I had to go to the US to find it.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ooooh, pretty.

 

[Dani California]

Yes that NARS gloss looks amazing!! Apparently there's a MAC dupe for it though.......might be MAC underage gloss or something I think, don't quote me on that though, I'll find out for deffo.

Also that bourjois do a nice nude pink gloss........3d gloss mystic rose I think it is shade no 34

I love nude lips but haven't found my perfect nude lip yet, MAC angel and viva glam v are my faves so far though

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

If it's cheaper and has a better consistency (I think the nars, unless applied over lip balm, is a bit tacky) please let us know!

Payday is tomorrow... St Pat's is coming up and I do need a good green.

Oooh I've found a list of possible NARS turkish delight dupes on another forum I go on. Obviously MAC is cheaper so hopefully these should help someone out

Possible Dupes:
MAC underage gloss
MAC ample pink plushglass
Benefit life on the A list gloss
Smashbox gloss in pout
Neutrogena gloss in 'groove' - we cannot get these in the UK though.

Hope that helps

I use Nars Turkish Delight too It's the perfect shade of baby pink!

Last year I bought one of Pop's eye cakes.

Lots of greens! very fun.

 

[anitram]

I have that NARS too. And I prefer NARS shadows to Stila.

Stila tends to clump with the glitter

I also like NARS Dolce Vita lipstick/gloss for night

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I've found that if you wet your brush just a little bit Stila shadows look awesome. They also don't crease.

I only have one NARS duo. Islode. NARS colors are so vibrant! I should invest in more. . .

Oooh, I have a Pop eye cake, for brown eyes. I haven't used it much, though, but that's one to get.

I have two of the Stila duos, one is a frosty glittery pink and purple, the other is a greenish blueish color. The frost is like pulling teeth to get a lot of color on, the other is so heavy. I looked like some emo kid the first time I played with it; needless to say I had to work with it some.

I need one of you makeup divas to go shopping with me and help me pick out makeup.

I think you and I almost did - I think a Sephora had just opened in Toronto when we were there for ITTH.

I'm probably hitting up Ulta this weekend. :badgirl:

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Too bad it was too crowded for me to enjoy that store at that time. That whole mall was insane. I finally made it to H&M here in Atlanta two weeks ago. The last one I went to was the one in Toronto and the crowds turned me off so bad that I refused to go back.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I forgot about H&M opening that same weekend...

I remember my first H&M experience, in NYC. I remember the store was completely trashed, so when I finally went again and saw not ever H&M is like that (we have one right across from my office) I was hooked.

Crazy women shoppers ftl.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I was shocked to see less than 30 people at the H&M I went to. I was ready to fight.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok just saw new Bono pictures, I bet he knows how to work the liquid liner.

 

[redkat]

The H&M's here aren't even crowded anymore, that's probably not a good sign.

I used to love the stila smudgepots but they do dry out pretty quick. Urban Decay 24/7 has to be the best eyeliner I've tried. I have a lot of the colors and even the outrageous seeming ones are actually really flattering. I'm not sure how they do that.

speaking of golds, I have honey. I ended up buying the whole set. It's a really pigmented gold and it looks like it would be crazy (wet it probably would be) but it just brings out the eye color so much. This set is so fun to play with

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I usually wear Estee Lauder eyeliner but I would like to find another brand to wear that will not irritate my eyes (Estee Lauder does not bother my eyes). Any suggestions? I have sensitive and oily skin.

 

[starsgoblue]

I can't read through all of these pages but in case it hasn't been mentioned, there is a website called Makeup Geek and this woman posts a ton of video tutorials and basically kicks ass. She is responsible for my MAC and Sephora addiction however so be forewarned.

 

[starsgoblue]

Nars lip gloss - Turkish Delight. That is all.

I love wearing this on top of MAC's Angel. Makes it more of a nude.
