I think I might hit up Sephora tonight and ask for a sample. I've been addicted to the Chanel (Sienna for winter) and Nars (Casino for when I'm tan) bronzers for a couple years so I'm interested to see how this will look. I'll let you know

I was a liquid eyeliner devotee forever until I started using Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel eyeliner last year. It applies with a brush, doesn't glop when you're putting it on, (no more smudges when the brush touches your lower lashes) and wears just as well if not better. Love the stuff!

I love this stuff.. as well as Stila's smudge pots. I just recently started wearing eyeliner, but I love how they apply and look.

It's about time for me to buy a new foundation and I was thinking of getting the Bare Essentuals. The only thing is I'll have to order it from Sephora without trying it, so I was wondering what those of you who have used it think of it. Also, what color would I get for a golden light-medium tan skin tone?

The lady at the Chanel counter got me started recently doing my eyeliner with a dark shadow and small brush. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the liner brush I bought from them- it was expensive, but worth it. I was in Sephora the other day and all the eyeliner brushes had fairly long bristles. These are really short, with an angle. It's a pretty small brush, but it's great control. Just wet the brush, then use it with a dark shadow (I get stuck with all sorts of dark eyeshadows when I buy sets, and they never look good on me) and use as a liner. I love it!

For the benefit lovers out there a new product combining Dallas (rosy bronze), Hoola (bronze), and Dandelion (soft pink).

Benefit Powder Pop

This one looks like something for my next sephora order.

About a month ago I got MAC's StudioFix (I think that's it....)foundation and love it. The only thing that sucks is about a week after I got it I got paler and now it doesn't look right. Any chance it'll stay good until spring?

Have you tried using any kind of bronzer? Main thing would be I would think would be to make sure you have the make up well blended at the hair line and the neck/throat so there wont be any lines. People can USUALLY pull off a foundation color that is one shade lighter or one shade darker if they blend it well.

I love StudioFix! Yes, it will stay good until spring. Buy some extra disc sponges for when you use it again. Some things I've discovered about StudioFix--it is great for covering up any and everything. But it will turn a shade darker on your face, especially if you have oily or combination skin. I usually buy one a shade darker (for when I'm hitting the tanning salon) and one a shade lighter (because I'm not always good about going) to even things out.

I'm another huge fan of StudioFix! And yes, it does keep well over time. I just bought a new compact of NW25 last night - I probably won't need to open this one for quite some time and I know it will be just fine when it will be time for me to use it.

Yes Studio fix does change on your face. Also it isnt good to wear if you will be taking alot of pictures because theres a white substance in it, Mica. it reflects off the light of the camera and makes you look clear. Also, if you have oily skin Mac foundations will make you glisten after wear for an hour or more. I found a brand called Ben Nye, its stage make up but its the best! and its one third the price of the Studio Fix.

I have VERY oily skin and StudioFix is the only thing I've found, so far that works on me. If the oil is working extra hard, I put a bit of oil control lotion from MAC on before I put makeup on, and my face stays oil free. I live by that stuff.

I'm becoming a Benefit junkie - I ordered the Dallas/Bright Eyes/Bad Gal trio from Sephora.com and love all three (though the Bad Gal took a little getting used to after having used DiorShow for so long). Also love their Boing! concealer and bluff dust, though I haven't been using that as much lately. I might have to try out That Gal, I can't seem to get anything to work on my redness. I have the Smashbox color-correcting primer right now and it's just Eh.

Try Miss Popularity next. It's my newest fixation.
