"Rimmel products smell like the heads of babydolls."

I'm not sure if that's positive or negative..

 

Anyhow, I caved and got the laura geller gilded honey highlighter from ulta. It is pretty 8-)

[Snowflakehusky]

Sweet Peach.sigh.

 

 

I went to Ulta.

 

 

I asked about it.

 

 

I was icily and frostily informed that it was sold out At Ulta, Sephora, and both places online as -well-.

 

 

When I asked when it would be in stock, I was informed I was being difficult and THAT IT .WAS.SOLD.OUT.

 

 

GONE.

 

 

:cry:

Okay has anyone else been hyped for the new Urban Decay Alice Palette because

My local Sephora. Got it in early. IT IS IN MY HANDS.

 

THESE COLORS ARE SO NICE I HAVE ABOUT FIFTEEN SWATCHES ON MY ARM RIGHT NOW. There's not a SINGLE color I can't wear in this box so basically GOD BLESS URBAN DECAY.

I think it was about 60$ usd? It's kind of a lot, but at least no more than, say, one of the UD Vice palettes. Trust me, it's worth every penny.

Because it's amazing...

If you have the monies, I would definitely recommend Sunday Riley's Good Genes from Sephora.

 

It has a bit of clinical scent, but you could also just use it as a before bed thing, instead of a morning thing. But, personally I don't mind it, and it has definitely evened out my skin tone when used daily with some sunscreen.(I don't use a moisturizer because it makes my skin super oil)

*rolls and flops into the thread*

 

Hiyo! I have combination skin (oily T-zone, dry patches on my cheeks), so I like to use Benefit Foamingly Clean as my face wash. For moisturizers I use Benefit Total Moisture on my face, Benefit It's Potent! eye cream, and for when I need a touch up I spritz on the Benefit Ultra Radiance Hydrating Mist. (As you can see, there's a running theme here lol). If I have to go "drug store", I use Burt's Bees hands down.

 

My make up varies, but I swap between Benefit, Too Faced, and Urban Decay. Usually I keep it simple with primer, liquid foundation, powder on top to set it, and then eyeliner, mascara, and either lipgloss or lipstick. I always carry a make up bag with a "full face" cause you never know when you'll need it. Drug store make up I tend to use Revlon or Rimmel London.

 

I'm a sucker for red lipstick, though. Gimme alllllll the red shades. Right now I've been in love with the Nyx Lingerie liquid-to-matte lipsticks. Easy to apply, doe foot applicator, doesn't smear. Stays on fairly well and doesn't crumble on my lips. However, I'M MAD CAUSE I CAN NEVER FIND THE COLOR 'EXOTIC'! I may just throw in the towel and order the damned thing. I want that red shade!

 

One last thing. Uh hello, Jeffree Star velour lipstick? Yes, please <3. Who else is with me? Not sure if they've been mentioned yet or not. Need to go back and peruse the rest of this thread lol.

I have a small jar sample of the Total Moisture that I use as an eye moisturizer before putting on concealer. It's pretty good, I just really like the It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream better (the scent is amazing, yet it doesn't break me out and I have sensitive skin).

I have it!! and its GREAT

Also if you are into beauty oil - try the sunday rile luna oil. I switch between good genes and luna oil as night treatment

Ohhhh! It Cosmetics is amazing! I've used them, as well. If I don't use my Benefit Porefessional Matte Rescue, then I love using the It Cosmetics No. 50 as a moisturizer/primer. A little goes a very long way and it doesn't leave a residue. Definitely worth the price if you ask me. I have sensitive skin, too, and it'll literally freak out over the tiniest thing. Gets really frustrating at times.

 

I actually have no idea what that is. :dodgy:

 

Say whaaaaaaaaaat!? Oh, no. No no no. Lemme fix this. Here are a few of my favorite colors:

 

Unicorn Blood, Redrum, Androgyny, Doll Parts, Masochist, Blow Pony

 

What's also frustrating is that he sells out of these colors, and a few others, hella quick. So I've been eyeballing them intensely lol.

I have really dry AND sensitive skin, so it's been a roller coaster. The primer I've been using most has been the TooFaced Hangover Rx, because it's so moisturizing. I recently picked up the It Cosmetics CC Cream, and I really like it (since it doesn't cling to dry patches like a lot of foundations will), but it cakes up slightly on my chin for some reason and I can't really figure out why. I thought maybe I should avoid putting concealer there, and that has minimized some of the cakeyness, but it still occurs there and on my nose (where my glasses sit, but that's not really something you can do anything about).

Hmm. Have you given any thought at all to Colourpop? A couple of those shades are duped by them, I swear.

[Duplicitous Dame]

Hnnnngh! Liadan! These colors look awesome! And they're only six bucks!? Yes, please. They seem to have a lot of good reviews, too. I'm currently sitting here deciding on which colors I want to splurge on. Definitely buying myself at least two or three.

I haven't tried their more recent formula, but their mattes are really good I thought. I didn't like their liquid mattes, but I also bought them in really dark colors and that might have been the issue for me (I generally don't wear dark colors).

 

These are the ones I'm going for:

https://colourpop.com/product/frick-n-frack/

 

Probably my favorite one of theirs so far is: https://colourpop.com/product/lumiere/

These are honestly some of the best names for lipstick i've ever seen.

I have a few things I want to talk about, but don't have time to go searching for links n' such.

 

EDIT:

 

I'm someone who will buy what's cheap and works. This is mainly because I don't like the idea of spending $30 on eyeliner. However, I will do so when it's something I MUST have. Now going back to what I actually use/will be using.

 

With the recent costume i've been constructing, I thought it was a great excuse to actually wear eyeshadow. So, I bought The Nudes Palette from Maybelline for about $13. Can't wait to try it out.

 

The current mascara i'm using is Voluminous Butterfly Mascara. It's easy to use, and I don't have to worry about clumps.

 

My Kat Von D that I gotten as a gift has sadly dried out and right now i'm using Colour Riche Eyeliner.

 

I don't use lipstick often, but after seeing all of these links, I just might buy some.

You should get it. I'm seriously thinking about picking up her collab eyeshadow, Weenie. It's such a pretty rose color.

So here are the colors I'm looking at right now:

 

https://colourpop.com/product/creeper/

https://colourpop.com/product/more-better/

https://colourpop.com/product/clueless/

 

And then I looked at 'Dopey', which you linked earlier. That one is a really pretty shade, too. These two interest me: https://colourpop.com/product/rooch/ and https://colourpop.com/product/lax/ , but I'm afraid they'd be a little too dark.

I think I might next time I have some extra cash.

Weenie is a really cute color, tho I'm leaning more towards Porter cause its purple. Maybe I'll just get Where The Night Is, it has a nice green with it. I'm not super fond of yellows, but I'm sure I'd be able find a way to use it to my liking(or throw it at a friend).

 

But first things first! Lumière! D<

 

In other news, I got the PB&J palette from Too Faced. It smells AMAZING, I want to gobble it all up. ; w ; It applies really well too.

[LiadansWhisper]

I thought that the Confidence in a Cream was $38.

 

Nope. It's $48.

 

I just dropped $74 on that and Benefit's Erase Paste. :blush:

Come and comment on Suka and Eva's wedding look! I actually want to do a special hairstyle of the day - and change the face paint, etc. I'll post them here before the wedding date

 

And like Eva said, this is not a IC event so it's a little bit off the topic here - but friends and rpers both IC and OOC are welcome, as well as future friends.

I have only just come across this so answer OP's questions...

 

My current winter look is very dark plum colour created by layer not one...but TWO lip colours. The bonus us that they are very light and don't feel ike you're wearing a tonne of makeup. The first is a lovely dark pink called Sugar Plum by No7 (I don't know if it's available in the US but any dark pink lipstick will do), then on top of that is Calvin Klein Berry Cool lip gloss (£2.99 from TJ Hughes!). This gives you a nice subtle shine and darkens the pink to juust the right amount for me. If I want a darker colour I will layer some Estee Lauder Hot Kiss lipstick under the gloss. This is all done with a lip brush and the product is used sparingly.

 

As for other products...I tend to bounce around a bit depending on what I can afford at the time.

Primer: Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Primer in Green

Foundation: MAC studio fix in NC15

Powder: COVER FX Matte Setting Powder in Fair

Eyeliner: Kat Von D Tattoo Liner + Lancome pencil liner both in Black
