Love of makeup thread

[btb87]

Ladies,

Through another website (and speaking with one other person that's used this), I've found out about a product called
"Model in a bottle". Have any of you used it before? It's supposed to keep your makeup in place and give you a nice, matte finish. I'd be interested to hear what you think if you've used it.

I'm interested in using it.

I have tried some of everything. I even sell (when I feel like it) Color Me Beautiful products which includes Flori Roberts. I have loved wearing make-up as early as I could get away with it (12-13 years old). I love Clinique and Lancome. On the cheap, I love Cover Girl and Revlon.

I just got a "benefit" catalog and they seem to have tons of good stuff. Anything in there that I absolutely can't do without?? Just the catalog itself is funky and fun.

I was introduced to benefit today (i wish i took a picture of how the lady at the counter did my makeup before i washed my face ). I am IN LOVE with browzings and bad girl lash.

i am having a foundation issue.

I have been wearing the covergirl Outlast foundation. And it looks great on, perfect texture and it matches my skin really well. BUT! It has stained the collars of my t-shirts!! Permanently! So now the search begins.

I just bought some of the Physicians formula Mineral Wear foundation and the translucent mineral veil loose powder. I put it on for the first time today, i must say that is a lot lighter than the Outlast, and it is pretty close to my skin tone. We'll see how this goes.

Back in November, I asked if anyone had tried Model in a Bottle. Well, I did and it works very well - your makeup may still come off some, but not as much, and it gives your face a nice, matte finish. If you can find a store that sells it, try that, or order it online from the website of the same name.

I too love Benefit's browzings and bad girl blue mascara. I also like their Eyecon dark circle eye cream, creaseless cream shadow/liner, the gilded eye pencil, eye bright pencil, and the 10 (sexy sweep) highlighter/bronzer powder duo.

For the most part though I am obsessed with Bare Minerals make up and recently purchased the Pure Moxie kit, Fruit Smoothies eye shadow set, Teamed up Coral Reef Eye shadow set, the set of eye quickies with venus and neptune colors, bisque concealer, Park Place Princess set, and Bare Radiance all over face color.

I love the long wearing.waterproof eye liners from M.A.C. Just about every product from Philosophy, and i'm newly obsessed with Jonathan Product and Fekkai hair products.

Sheesh, and I thought I was bad waiting for the 3rd Love Bird kit shipment! I hear it's blues, and I simply don't wear blues so I don't know how much I'll like it. How do you like the Fruit Smoothies? I'm terribly tempted by them, but don't know how they'll look with my coloring (lt/med beige foundation mix, dark brown hair and eyes).

I love Bare Radiance! If you have Lovely blush, mix 1 part Lovely with 1 part BR. It's stunning.

I do have the Lovely Blush because it came with the "three perfect blushes" kit i purchased a few months back hehe. I recommend that kit too BTW. I highly recommend the fruit smoothies. They are my favorite eye shadow kit by far. The colors do well with my skin tone/foundation (fairly light most of the year with light in the summer and fall). Fruit smoothies also go well with most outfit color combos as well. It's some color but it's not over done on the color esp. for daytime/work wear. Make sense?

What is the Love Bird kit? I havent heard of that one.

I think i need to start as excel spreadsheet to keep track of everything I have so i have it at my fingertips when i make online purchases (as sad as that sounds)
