We have a Sephora at an upscale mall in the city. I'll try there on a weekday morning sometime soon. Thanks!

Also, I thought I was the only person who thought Benefit was so gimmicky.

My recommendation is to go to sephora. Tell them what you're looking for (a fresh professional look). They won't be committed to doing everything in one brand. The catch is that you have to buy $50 worth of product (I think)--but if you're looking for a new makeup style then that might not be that much.

As far as eyeshadows if you aren't looking for a palette, I love this matte brown from NYX called Happy Hour. They are just $5 each :)

I'm loving that Suede color. How blendable is the one you have? Any chance you could swatch Happy Hour and post? I'm intrigued.

We are lucky enough to have a Bare Minerals stand-alone store, and the people who work there are very good at what they do.

I love Bare Minerals. I use them for my foundation and mineral veil. My high school BFF turned me onto them.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Pretty, cheap, and not a full palette of colors where one uses one and tosses out the rest!

I didn't find the above, but I did find this:

This is the Canyon Classics, Matte Collection, and I'm using mostly the two lighter browns. I know that a makeup artist would tell me that purple would make my hazel eyes more glamorous, but I would feel like a clown with that.

Thanks again, y'all!

Not a makeup related question, but a girly question: I am going to a wedding that is cocktail attire. I have a great navy/cobalt blue Kate Spade shift dress. I'm stuck on what shoes to wear. Do I stick with nude heels? The material sort of changes color in different lighting, navy when its dark, cobalt-ish in the light.

I would stick with nude heels. But I love the way they look with lots of items.

My bridesmaids were cobalt blue; they all wore silver shoes.

Thanks for the hot tip!

Has anyone done balayage hair coloring? I'm naturally dark brown but color my hair light auburn but am thinking of going more strawberry (have been strawberry blonde before) and this technique looks really cool. Don't know now if my salon does it but am researching.

Bite is freaking awesome. I had to call in a favor to get their Canadian Maple lipstick line
