Try cream soda blush. I love it. The peach helps neutralize redness and it's hard to overdo it.If I could, I'd like to get a little advice from you guys... I literally have NEVER used blush before. I have a lot of redness in my cheeks, so I've always been scared of using it for fear I'd just end up making the redness look worse. That being said, the blushes/Pearlmattes in this collection are soooo beautiful, I'm having a hard time passing up the chance to get one (or a few!). I was just wondering which cheek product from the collection you guys would recommend to a blush newbie. Maybe something that would be easy for me to use that I couldn't mess up too much!
I am so sorry that happened to you! Can you try to depot them?
Love the perks of having a Nordstrom Card. Your first $100.00 spent gets you a $20.00 note!
& yes! If I could club someone w/o jailtime id take that rolling pin from that smiley. KilThey just pop back into the hole with a little force. And yes, your blush with the missing clear part will be perfectly fine. Just keep it stored by itself so nothing ends up gouging the powder.
Oh noooo!!![]()
I don't have Passionately Tempted myself, but I read a comparison between the two earlier somewhere in this thread.BTW, how does Prom Princess compare to the color in Taste Temptations. (I still have not used those blushes)
PrettyPackages! I found it!Betty Bright is more coral than pink, I can guarantee you that. It does have pink in it but overall the shade leans more coral. That said, it could still change on your lips so you may still want to try it on in person!
That's what I was thinking, as well. Either Cream Soda or the Flatter Me Pearlmatte would suit my skintone best, I think. Both are so lovely, it's hard to choose!Try cream soda blush. I love it. The peach helps neutralize redness and it's hard to overdo it.
I went to back it up but DLG and Dish it up look too similar on me so i won't go through both...I don't have any legitimate statistics on the life of a single lipstick but my guess would be that real makeup enthusiasts/addicts have a ton of lipsticks and rarely exhaust one. If you love something that much and it's really working for you---by all means BACK IT UP!!!!

I ordered mine 3 days ago from the MAC US site and my order still says 'pending' and some of the items that are in my order are now sold out on the website... so I hope it has gone through!I ordered all my Archie stuff on the 30th and my order still says 'pending' on the mac website... guess I'll be giving them a call tomorrow... stupid Canada, I want my stuff!!
You can make your own lip exfoliator, olive oil and brown sugar Coconut oil and brown sugar. You can sub out brown sugar for cornmeal too. The corn meal won't dissolve like the sugar will.My lips looked the same way!! I looked in the car mirror and did a double take, my lips looked so flaky. I've actually just recently started looking into exfoliating products for my lips. I checked out the one Fresh Sugar sells and thank goodness I checked it out in store first because one whiff and I immediately ruled it out! So the search continues. What I've done the past few years is just lightly scrub my lips with a damp toothbrush. Not so hard it irritates them, but just enough to buff out the flakes. Then I pat them dry and put conditioner on them right away. Probably not an "official" method, but it's worked pretty well for me over the years. Until I encountered MAC's Satin lipsticks, that is! Conditioners are another tough thing for me. I've tried many and I still have a couple left on my list to try. During the day, I like to use the mineralized balms MAC released with Apres Chic. They're easy to travel with and feel better on my lips than most other conditioners, which I find too greasy or too waxy. At home, morning and night, I use the lip conditioner in the tub that MAC suddenly discontinued. No conditioner I've used has made me 100% satisfied, but those are the best of the bunch I've tried so far, including other Fresh Sugar products, Philosophy, Burt's Bees, Softlips, Estee Lauder, and probably even more that I'm forgetting. If I find my HG lip conditioner, I'll be sure to let you know! It comes out this March at Sephora. There's a discussion about it in the "Cosmetics Discussion" section of this site! I'm going to pass scarlettb's question on to you, erine! What do you use to exfoliate and condition?
YesDoes this work w/ the Nordstrom debit card too?
It is good not many peeps have reviewed this yet... I called out T,Allura and Karen and then I saw one I didn't recognize and said hmmm that one is probably Specktra and it was. My husband was laughing so hard as was I. Karen is actually the hardest for me to recognize except that she often does them at a angle like this: / I didn't see Liz's lips but yeah it is something I have noticed for months when I am googling images... I know whose review I am going to just by the blown up pictureThat's really very funny, but you can ID T's lips at-a-glance, probably because of the 100s of swatches that she does.![]()
I actually use a lip balm, in my case that horrid little tin that is impossible to open by rosebud, and sugar by my sink. I keep a wee little bit of sugar in a shallow container and dip my finger into salve then sugar and rub rub rub. After I rinse it off I apply balm on it's own. You might want to consider just using the balm of choice with a little sugar instead of making a totally new product to see if you like the exfoliationI think I'm the only who hates Jack Black. Felt like I always had waxy build up. My fave is still EOS.
I need to try an exfoliator. For now, I'll think I'll make one. Maybe I'll use jojoba oil and sugar.
