Love of makeup thread

[kddani]

We haven't had a good makeup thread in awhile.

I was a bad girl today, lol. Impulse buys at the Chanel counter... I have a new love! The only Chanel makeup i've ever had was a lipstick I bought when they did my makeup for a friend's wedding.

Here's what I bought:
Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow -got Lavende and Silvery

Sourcil Due Professionnel- Professional Brow Duo in Blonde

A shadow/liner brush

Aqualumiere sheer colour lipshine in Santa Barbara

The sales lady was so nice as to not tell me the total and to hide my receipt nicely wrapped under the tissue paper, bless her heart, lol. I would've bought more but I had to cut myself off. Their stuff is expensive but I love it!

What have you bought lately?

Oooooh, make-up!

Revlon is my favorite brand. However, I buy Clinique foundation and powder because I can match them to my skin color better.

Last make-up product I bought was either a Revlon eyeliner or an Elizabeth Arden lip gloss. That is, if you do not count the many lip glosses I buy very often. I keep one in my purse, one on my nightstand, and one on my computer desk.

I have the biggest hookup to Mac products.

My friend's sister is a chemist for Mac and gets all the products for cheap. Unfortunately, Law school took all my money so I have to wait a little bit before I buy next stock for the Fall.

Le sigh.

My favorite drugstore makeup buy: Cover Girl Wet Slicks lipgloss, particularly the crystals type. Great color and consistency, i'm addicted. I'm partial to the "crush" color.

*MAC lipglass- amazing
*CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine

Me, unfortunately. I bought it and was so excited but it just sucks on me, I think my skin is too olive or yellow or something and it barely shows up.


As for other makeup, well I am obsessed with makeup; I'm always buying new products even though I wear the same exact ones every day. Still, it's so fun to shop for makeup though!

My favorites:

-Bare Minerals foundation and the regular (non-tinted) mineral veil
-Smashbox concealers and makeup primers, especially their under-eye concealer...I have the worst dark circles and I couldn't survive w/o this stuff.
-Lancome Juicy Tubes, MAC lipglass, and Sephora clear lip gloss....I love all lip gloss, the shinier and stickier, the better!
-My favorite mascaras are from Lorac, Dior, Lancome, and Loreal , I have really long eyelashes so I like stuff that makes them a thicker and darker.
-And the best thing of all time is Benefit's Benetint lip balm; it's bright red in the pot and it always freaks people out (boys especially) when I go to put it on, but it shows up super sheer, just a tiny hint of color and it makes your lips really soft. LOVE that stuff!

Ok, that's enough from me...sorry, I am just obsessed with makeup and could talk about it forever.

I have wanted to try it forever because I hear it is great for all! Does it look good on pale skin? Is it more pink or peachy? I have blue eyes and pink undertones.

I am in LOVE with Chanel's loose powder.

My my my.

And I love how the Chanel ladies neatly tuck the receipt in the tissue paper in the Chanel envelope!

I remember when I received my first handwritten thank you note from my Chanel lady... what a sweet gesture!

What's a good liquid eyeliner? I've only been using it for a year (I was all about pencil before), and I want to branch out from Bourgois.

Have any bare escentuals users tried the new "Faux Tan" bronzer? I just saw it on the Sephora website..... I've been wanting them to come out with a bronzer but I'm wondering about the color... hmmmm.

I've recently fallen in love with Revlon's cream blush in Rosy Glow. I'm always horrible about picking out blush colors, but this is the perfect shade and looks great.

I also am really liking Maybelline's Sky High Curves mascara, even though it does kinda clump a lot.

Went to Sephora and checked it out tonight. It's a darker shade but looks like it would be very forgiving. I didn't get a sample, but probably should have so I could have played with it at home.

I really want to try it, but I have poker straight lashes. Will this mascara hold my curl when I use the eyelash curlers?
