Forever21 has a grey toned eyebrow pencil for $2.80 (a steal!). I use the dark brown and I really love it!

That really is a steal! I didn't even know they sell makeup as well.

My brows are au natural, not even brow gel goes there.
Yeah, I too plucked mine way too thin when I was young. Maybe they would look better now if I had never plucked them :-/
Yours look great!

Thanks. I just leave my eyebrows alone. My mum has f***ed her brows up big time by shaving and plucking until her brows stopped growing back. Her ones are tattooed on now.

I never picked up Hipness blush before, I wonder how close it is to the coral Simpsons' blush.
I think they're pretty similar. I was actually planning on selling Hipness as I don't need both. I can post a comparison as soon as I come home.

Looks like this is going to be a very small haul for me. I already have Hipness, from the "To The Beach" collection, I think, and nothing else appeals to me apart from the highlighter, which I must have. The whole collection is rather too orange for me, which is a shame as I love the packaging.

NW folks need a lot of bronzer to make this collection work. As I posted before, w/ bronzer, it is an orange disaster on pink skin.

I'm curious. Just for the sake of packaging?

I don't do bronzer, as I prefer to embrace my paleness. A big collection like this, and nothing appeals to me - very unusual indeed. Still, it's money saved.

Maybe that and Hipness or one of them. Not sure about the lippies yet. I still want that highlighting powder (the three tone one).

I was lucky because I grew up in the era of Brooke Shields, so I never had social pressure to think twice about my brows. I always would clean up strays, and then spent years defining my arch with plucking. When thin brows were popular, I did take a little off the bottom edge, but the good news is, it just takes time to grow them all in. I had some bits in the area nearer to the nose that I thought would stay kind of thin, but patience has paid off. I'd have to say it's been about two years total, where I really decided fuller was the way to go, and to get rid of the accentuated arch in favor of my natural brow that has an arch on the top edge, but is straight across on the lower edge. It's definitely a Cara Delavigne look and it makes red lipsticks look better than ever on me. Just stick with it and all those sparse areas will come back. Plucking isn't enough to fully kill those hairs, although waxing is another thing - you can mess things up permanently that way for sure.

My mother was like that too, always plucking herself until it was raw. I saw that and said "Hell No" at a young age.

And Coin Operated, Colour Matters and Sudsy Technakohls. I still have a new PMP from the former release.
Also Domestic Diva lipglass sounds suitable for me.

I don't care what people say about Cara D's eyebrows, but her eyebrows are wicked. After my plucking accident, I vowed never to do anything to my eyebrows again... Except for a tiny bit of clear mascara to tidy it up

You can always try it with some bronzer to warm up your skin.

That Brooke Shields bronzer was particularly nice and subtle for pale people. I was very resistant to the idea of bronzer, but there are formulas out there that are very subtle. It's not like putting powder 4 shades too dark on your face - you can find ones that are very sheer that enhance your face in a totally natural way, as if you just spent the day in the sun, but don't have a full on tan.
