Has anyone tried Philosophy The Supernatural foundation? I like the fact it's talc, oil and paraben-free. I'm almost out of my current foundation (Lorac compact) and need to decide if I want to switch or not. The closest Sephora is 2 hours away, so I can't test it in person. We do have a [smallish] Ulta in town, so I might see if there's anything there I like, too.
I also need new mascara.
Oh, and someone please convince me it's perfectly okay to spend the $40 on Touche Eclat, because everyone I've heard that uses it says it's the best concealer ever.

I would go to the YSL counter, put some on and wear it around for a while first. It didn't do jack for me but I have horrible circles and it straight up says it won't fix really horrible circles.

If you find something that really does work, let me know. I feel like I have tried everything in the free world.

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.

I really like the Philosophy Supernatural foundation. It's a lot like bare minerals, except not as messy, because the applicator is built in and you just kind of tap and buff on. :-)

I use Philosophy's Supernatural I will warn you that it does give you an "airbrushed" look meaning matte so after I put it on I do follow it up with a bronzer because I prefer to "glow" that to look "airbrushed". lol
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.

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??

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.

im looking for new shades of eye shadow to wear. i like to keep it semi-natural and not too flashy for work/school but when night comes and im going out, i like to make it hot! haha
i use clinque's like mink. the light shade for the day then add the darker color for night and i also use another darker brown that i got in a sample.
anyone have any good ideas for day practical and/or hot night eyeshadow?

Smith's Rosebud Salve! How did I not use this product sooner? The smell is awesome!

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
