YES!!! I was just saying this SAME EXACT thing! I have 3 of them and 2 of them are stiff and hard now... I even sharpened them thinking maybe just the exposed pencil was dry but the whole thing seems stiff to me! I'll go with my NYX Jumbo Pencils from now on! I've had some of those bad boys for AGES and they are still creamy and wonderful!! And at around $5 or less a piece they put my dried out UD pencils to shame!!
I love NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils! I'll probably have to end up ordering the remaining colors I want because they're usually picked over at Ulta. I wish Ulta had testers. It would probably help to greatly cut down the number of "handled" products.

Yeah, NYX pencils are soo much better. Anybody have any ideas on which one would be the closest to Morphine? I was thinking probably Oyster. I only have Milk atm, so I'm thinking of getting Oyster, Pacific, Strawberry Milk and Black Bean, maybe a few others too. I wish they still sold Cherry, the hot pink and the few others that are now discontinued.
I think you can still find those shades on eBay. I have Cherry, but always wanted the hot pink one. I googled Morphine. I think Oyster could be a nice substitute, but it has more pink in it. It will look really nice with ready to Party.

I also can't wait for christmas. I'm not happy with my internship. I don't think I want to work in the physics area after all. I think I will do a cosmetics study when I finish this study. The christmas holidays and new years eve are some of the things I'm really looking forward to in this time. I also want to go to London a couple of days around NYE with my bf. There are fireworks from the bridge in London right? We went to Paris one year and stood in from of the eiffeltower and then nothing what a dissapointment:p

One good thing about your internship is that your discovering what you would and would not want to do in your career. The best time to experiment is while you're young. Based on the makeup looks you post, you'd be fantastic in the cosmetics industry.

I totally agree! You should do something that you're passionate about, and gaining more experience to find out exactly what that is can only be a good thing :)

Try looking for the discontinued shades on ebay... I found Cherry and Orange on there at a super reasonable price!
Strawberry Milk is a pretty choice!! I use Yogurt a lot too... and of course good old MILK!! Not sure what purple to recommend as I am still TRYING to get use out of my Morphine! UGH!

NOOOoooo. im not a christmas grinch but here in the states is not even thanksgiving day and my mom wants to put the tree up.

In our country we have this thing called sinterklaas and we can't have the tree up before that time at least that's what I think with a lot of others. You probably won't have any idea what sinterklaas is, but it's quite funny. Sinterklaas is similar to santa claus in that he gives presents to kids, but Sinterklaas has a horse and rides on the roofs and his helpers are zwarte pieten. Here are some pics.

His birthday is the 5th of december and at that night the kids get there packages. In the weeks before that they can also put their shoes near the chimney similar to the socks thing with santa claus. Ow and the zwarte pieten have big bags with candy!

You're both so right and thanks! My parents are not very happy with the idea that I won't do anything with this study, but my bf is very supportive. My bf is also trying to give me some idea's. He thinks that maybe I can start my own business.

Now if you're talking about UD's eyeLINER pencils... those are great! We are discussing the shadow pencils by UD... the thicker ones like MAC Shadesticks and NYX Jumbo Pencils. I just wanted to clarify in case you thought I was saying the UD liners aren't good... because I LOVE those! Shellcat just sent me Perversion and it is now (VERY QUICKLY) Holy Grail status as a GREAT black eyeliner! So go ahead and get your mom the liners if that's the set you were looking at! But I'd pass on the UD thick eyeshadow pencils... just my personal opinion.

BTW I tried the ETG polish on this evening and it went on ok. It is a bit thick and it's better to work quickly, but it's not bad IMHO. I would rather have this polish be thick than thin. I love the colour it's so sparkly!

if you can do physics you can do everything!!!

Haha well I was not good with history and things that I had to learn names or numbers. It's easier for me to have to think logically than to remember a ton of text. The only text that I can easily remember is names of cosmetics or colour stories haha

Yes it is cool, but he's only here from somewhere in november till the 6th of december. Every city has it's own day that he comes to visit as well. The netherlands has lots of cool stuff, but I guess that is the same for every country.

what i do with bio is that i learn the main points and how to discuss them, but i never memorized the whole campbell bio book.
im pretty good with history, politics, foreign affairs and historic events. english and foreign languages but never math. like i can do the math in biology and some in chemistry like stoichiometry, but then i just suck in math. like badly. in high school i had all advanced classes but then i was in the lowest math level, quite embarrassing.

im a soccer fan so i always watch soccer events and i love the dutch fans. you guys are soo creative with the orange costumes and the oranje jersey is hypnotizing.

Can you post a pic or a lip swath you wearing Glam.Daze l/s?? Since we wear the same foundation I'm interested to see how it looks on you.. skipped it myself and bought 2 Innocence instead./. maybe I've made a mistake hehe and should have gotten glamourdaze???
Okay. Please excuse how absolutely horrible I look. I have to take photos by the window for them to show up properly and I only had 4hrs sleep last night so the light was blinding me hence the horrid face and inability to smile, lol. In the photo I'm wearing GlamourDaze l/s, Small Vanity blush and Whisper of Gilt EDSF on my cheek bones, all on NC15.
