I recently have been using Chanel's newest exceptionnel mascara (with the lash comb/brush combo) and I LOVE it!

Oh an FYI ladies, since Hard Candy is being discontinued, it is on sale right now so stock up on your favorites!

I recently got Lancome's Cils Design pro which I really like when I want to be dramatic. it took a couple of tries to get the hang of, but it makes my lashes huge and as dramatic as fakes, without looking fake.

Revlon makes a cream concealer (its distribution seems to be getting more limited as they're pushing this stupid new mineral stuff) called New Complexion that is 2 shades in a circular container. It works better than anything I've tried and isn't too heavy and blends really well.

They also made one called Colorstay that was a liquid in a wand, but they redid their line and now it's 2 different ones - I haven't tried the new one so I don't know if it's any good or not.

I use both at different times, depending on whether I'm wearing liquid or powder foundation.

I know you will feel me on this one, that as we (ahem) age we can't use the Maybelline Cover Stick anymore because that skin isn't as hearty as it used to be.


If neither of those works for you, find a place that carries theatrical makeup and look at the stuff from Ben Nye - I've heard some makeup artists swear by it.

THANKS, 33!! This gives me some new things to try. And yes, I do know what you mean about the Maybelline Cover Stick.

Does anyone have any suggestions for eye make up remover that will remove regular and waterproof make up (that isnt baby oil)?

[WCsweet<3]

Actually ThetaPrincess I bought Neutrogena's oil-free eye makeup remover about two weeks ago. I love it! It comes in this indigo translucent bottle. Its gentle and takes off both my eyeliner and mascara with no trouble. Just remember to shake the bottle berfore use. The solution separates after a few hours of unuse.

I'm happy to hear that - I bought it as a replacement for Lancome Bi-Facil (works OK but leaks when I shake it) and I've yet to try it.

I'm having trouble getting my waterproof DiorShow to come off and I cant stand baby oil. Honestly I think this is the strongest/most bonding mascara ever.

I've used Bi-facil in the past but never with Diorshow. Bare Minerals eye make up remover doesnt take off diorshow very well nor does The Body Shop eye make up remover. Neutrogena sounds cheaper. I have to go to walmart later I think I'll pick up a bottle

I am in love with the Nivea Visage Eye Make-up Remover, it is a cream that comes in a small light blue tube. I only wear waterproof mascara and it's the best for me. I used it for years when wearing contacts and now, after I've had Lasik surgery, I still use it and it's never bothered my eyes once. It's just hard to find! I used to get it at CVS and I'm having trouble locating it. In the meantime, I've found the Nutrogena Ultra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover pads to be quite good.

So I picked up a bottle of that eye make up remover and their eye make up remover pads (for when I get lazy). I used the pads last night and one pad took the make up off both eyes and did it beautifully!! I didnt wear dior show yesterday but I will today so we'll see how it works.

[WCsweet<3]

I'm glad it worked for you! Hopefully tonight it will work as well!

So I'm looking again at my sephora fall 2008 catalog.

What are opinions on the following brands:

Nars (anything other than the lip gloss)
Stila
Smashbox
Tarte


Or that new mascara by Givenchy that has that funny looking brush??

[33girl]

Everything I've gotten from Nars I LOVE, except the Multiple. It's too dry for me.

Stila is OK but I think it's kind of overrated.

I have the orgasm lip gloss and matching nail color (good for the finger nails not for the toe nails) and I LOVE that lip gloss. I was jsut wondering if the blushes and what nots are just as good.

[PeppyGPhiB]

Time to bump this thread, because I've bought a bunch of stuff lately that I love:

- Prescriptives Virtual Skin foundation and foundation brush
- Prescriptives Magic liquid powder
- Prescriptives lip glosses
- More Bobbi Brown lipsticks!
- Lancome lip gloss
- Jo Malone lip balm

and though it's not makeup, I really love Tom Ford's new unisex fragrances!

Has anyone tried eyes lips face cosmetics? Is it just cheap junk?
