I want to come hang with you... teach me how to be fab. ~flips hair over my shoulder~
I wrote you a well thought-out pm in response but I did not send it (I clicked the back button on my browser. That is NOT how you send messages). I was mad so I bought some NARS LRP (MissTT I blame you). I will write it again tomorrow.

Oh booo to eaten emails/messages.
MissTT, how did you like it. I've been meaning to try it. But I think it is possible. I tried a foundation before and walked around the Mall and had a reaction from it.

I wore the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation to work yesterday and it actually lasted all day and looked good. Granted I sprayed it with makeup setting spray a few times and used CoverFX Mattifying Primer. That could have been the contributing factor. The color was a good match for me although the color range is very limited. The coverage was light to medium. It managed to do a fair job of covering my brown spots. I did get another pimple yesterday, but it was a different type from the one I got the day before so who knows what caused it. This foundation formula is hydrating which I don't need. Hopefully it works for me. I feel so bad throwing stuff away after 2 uses. (You should see my mascara graveyard.) Almost all the reviews on Sephora's first page are really bad - 1 star.

Random Thought, cuz I have no where else to put it. I'm growing out my eyebrows... this is painful. LOL
Actually have a decent face on this morning: Face: Some silicone-y primer (don't judge me - it works for me) Fashion Fair Creme-to-Powder, Tender It Cosmetics Bye-Bye Undereye, Deep silica powder to set concealer Clinique Superbalanced Powder Makeup, Natural 7, to set face CG Queen Bronzer, Ebony Bronze Eyes: Maybelline Color Tattoo, Bad to the Bronze for base gold shade from NYX Nude on Nude palette on lids, brown shade with gold sparkles in crease, light champagne shade (top row, 2nd from left) on browbone MAC Brown Down to fill in brows NYX Doll Eye Mascara, black liquid liner on upper lashline, with a little wing Lips: Rimmel Kate Moss Matte l/s #107 MAC Vino l/l (deepens the color so nicely - love)
Umm, I will just answer by saying "probably too many". I am addicted tofoundation and finding the PERFECT match and function for needs like oil control. I have hit pan on the Fashion Fair, so you won't see me using it for long lol! I have been really bad about getting my face done before leaving the house lately, so I have leaned on this portable gem like crazy lately (the Fashion Fair). But it is not great at controlling oil so I will be working my way through my Estee Lauder stash soon.

I'm on a the perfect foundation hunt as well, but I try to be really disciplined about not buying them b/c they're so expensive. I'm not sure if the shade will match you, but try Hourglass's Immaculate foundation. It sucks the oil right off your face. What about Lancome Teint Idole Ultra? Becca Ever-Matte is on my list to try. I also should be getting CoverFX Pressed Mineral foundation in the next few weeks. They've got a great shade range. CoverFX and Hourglass both have good primers for oily skin. And what about Benefit's POREfessional? I have a brand new one, but I don't want to have a 5th bottle of primer open.
I feel like a lot of the freebies I get cater to dry skin. So frustrating. Throw a bone to the oily girls...

No I haven't MissTT, I'm probably going to get them done this weekend.
I'll have to check out those foundations. I'm obsessed too, I want the perfect match in all variations, stick, liquid, tm, powder and etc...

I thought I found the perfect foundation in CoverGirl Queen, but then I got a tan. LOL Now it looks ashy. I had the next darker shade, but I gave it to the girl at Walgreens b/c she was sweet. I feel like it's always a toss up between correct shade or correct formula. All most all of my foundations are too light right now and the ones that match don't function well with my skin. I should probably just add milk of magnesia to my t-zone to allow me more flexibility in foundations, but I just don't feel like it. I get the feeling I'll end up with white patches showing through.

I came across this a few times that castor oil helps with eyebrows growth. I'm thinking of trying it myself. Who knows it might work... :shrugs:

Random thought: How come nearly every eye shadow look produced now days is called a smoky eye by YTers/bloggers? Every time they blend their eye shadow or smudge a liner a bit they say they smoked it out. Really? And what was it called before the smoky eye? Smoky eye is supposed to be a dramatic eye look. Everyday nudes/neutrals applied with a blending brush don't mean your eye look is smoky.
This is true, and if you can get your hands on it, Jamacan Black Castor Oil is the best for this. I use it on my lashes too, and on a spot of hair that was thinning due to me scratching it incessantly. JBCO smells worse than regular castor oil due to the ash content, so use it at night unless you want people to think you are a smoker lol.

Hi gang!!!! Think pink....for breast cancer awareness month. I've been remiss in visiting the thread to post but I have a lot going on right now. It's all good and I'll share soon. I'm currently away with the hubs....his business trip, but I planned ahead....I'm wearing pink nail polish (Dior Rosy Bow) and a makeup look with a Chanel Eyeshadow quad, Seduction, the feature shadow for me being a pinkish- berry shade. I'm wearing Dior blush, Petal from the Rosy Glow collection and Chanel lipstick in Rendez-vous # 87 (pretty pink). So, with breast cancer in mind, get checked, perform your exams and get your mammograms....and remind those you know and love to do the same. Miss you all and looking forward to getting back on a regular basis.
