I love the Benefit erase paste. So good and makes the eyes pop.

My MAC stuff should be here today.

Wow that's some expensive nail polish

Did you try ebay?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Sis, it's more like a blush/highlighter thingy if I'm not mistaken.

Although, some brands do charge $10-12 for nail polish. The most I'll spend on polish is maybe $4!

 

[Sicy]

Oh it looks like nail polish to me

 

[bammo2]

It looks like nail varnish in a little bottle, and it's got a brush inside like nail varnish too, but it's actually a shimmery liquid that you dot onto your brow/cheekbones and it kind of highlights them

It's

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I wonder if it's better than Benetint... I have it and have used it a handful of times, mostly when I want to wear red lipgloss and want the red lips to have better staying power.

On the cheeks it doesn't look so hot, at least not on me. I am in love with Urban Decay blush

My MAC stuff didn't come last night.

 

[bammo2]

It's not so much a blusher as a highlighter.

At the mo, I'm using the You Rebel tinted moisturiser and a Clinique face powder, and on top I put the benefit powder 'Dallas' on the apples of my cheeks. I have the little pallette of powders, which has 'Dandelion', 'Dallas' and 'Hoola' which I blend to get the right colour depending on how pale my skin is on the day in question! Works well for me. Plus a couple of blended dots of the High Beam on my cheek bones.

Sounds like I wear too much make up, but it's actually a fairly natural look!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

It takes a lot sometimes to pull off the natural look.

Today I just threw on some Stila kitten, did the bottom eyeliner (I do mine on the waterline and never get smudges anymore ), and slicked on some watermelon lipgloss (along with the Bare Minerals and some blush).

 

[beegee]

Does Bare Minerals really work?

I've been thinking about trying it.

 

[Sicy]

I've been using it for like a year now

Bare Escentuals

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

I want bare escentuals although i did buy serious skin care mineral makeup but it's all gone now because my daughter uses it too but we both liked it alot.

 

[mad1]

girls, any of you know how to disguise a large nose?

(I mean if its a bit wide at the end!)

mine fecking is

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Pfft... I'm sure your nose is fine, but contouring? I've never done it myself (at least I don't think ).

Bare Escentuals is awesome beegee

 

[beegee]

Ok, do I have to get the mineral makeup online or at an actual cosmetics counter or can I get it just wherever like a regular store?

 

[mad1]

I love that pale face, gothic eyes, and rose red lips make up look.

I would love to have a plumper face and be done up like the foreign girl in Hitman movie.

gorgeous!

Cosmetic store.. or ebay

 

[Babydoll]

Ebay has EVERYTHING!

I bought Lash Blast today and I love it!!!
Usually I have to put on a few strokes to get the desired effect (Professional by Cover Girl was my regular) , but it only took one or two!

Anyone know if NYC makeup is still around? I couldn't find it anywhere today - it's cheap stuff but they make my fave lipgloss...

My big splurge is Tinted Moisturizer by Laura Mercier - $65 each - but it's def worth it!

Nice! You bought two of my all time favorite products

For a slightly more dramatic nighttime look, I put a little moon beam on top of the Big Beautiful Eyes shadow.

 

[bonoishot]

So i'm curious about this Lash Blast so i found some on ebay Uk which even with postage is cheaper than mascara here is.

Unless it goes upquite a bit before it ends im gonna bid and give it a try.

This looks good. Might buy this when i get paid and give it a try.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a natural foundation (with as few chemicals as possible) that would give my skin a glowy appearance? I want something with good coverage, but also very light looking.

 

[kafrun]

^ not sure, but I'd like to know too. I rarely wear foundation because it's just too heavy.

Glad everyone's loving the Lash Blast Totally told you so

So I took a trip to Sephora yesterday to buy that brush/compact combo - love that thing! I played with a few products, but couldn't stay long because I was with friends. Anyone tried the new line of Sephora body butters? Amazing. Try the Lime Blossom.

The brush is far too goopy right out of the tube.

I have to run it through a paper towel before I can use it.

I like Biotherm foundation.

Yeah, it does that for the first few uses, then it gets better. I just take a little off with the edge of the tube.

I hear Smashbox makes some really good foundation.

I have decided I'm going to use some restraint and wait until my Loreal mascara is gone before I buy Lash Blast.

Btw, I LOVE he MAC Parrot eyeshadow I haven't had the guts to sweep it over the full lid yet, but I dust a little above the lashline over some Kitten and it looks awesome.

Here's Parrot for those who don't know:

Smashbox makes GREAT foundation. It isn't heavy but it covers really well and you can layer it depending on how much coverage you need. I've used it with a foundation brush and a sponge and the brush gives an almost perfect finish, it just takes a little longer to apply.

I always start with Smashbox Photo Finish primer and in the summer, I use Anti-Shine gel instead of powder.
