Tom Ford Beauty Discussion

Lol, same! I avoided mattes like the plague for the longest time until I started watching YouTube gurus and the magical way they used them to smoothly transition, or to use as the all over color as a sort of light base to build on. Changed my eyeshadow game. BUT, on my lid, NO mattes! Lol it's all shimmer and glimmer and glitter and shine

A woman in the dentists office Tuesday was thrilled to be headed to Barbados on Thursday because she'll miss the snow that we're expecting on Friday.

Lucky Duck!!!
Aww bless her. Now is a good time to come since the summer heat hasn't arrived as yet. It's still hot but not unbearable.

My great grandfather was an engineer for the Panama Canal back in the early 1900's. From there he went to China to design taking the salt out of the ocean water to irrigate the rice fields.

I'm starting to really love Tom Ford as a brand more and more. Nude Dip was such a hit, I'm glad he was smart and brought it back to the Perm line. Same with the lippies. I'm hoping First Time sticks around for at least 1 month. I really want to snag it, but my wallet is so empty I might need to eat ramen for the next week. lol

I am down to hot water and ketchup, oh yes, college days....but I look pretty.

I have mascara going back for years. Yes, I know all about bacteria, but so far no infections. I also keep it away from heat, be it sun through a winter or a heat vent. So I would go for it.

Sorry, but *shudder*.

That's playing Russian Roulette with your eye health.

Not for me. Not at all.

When I was in college, I wore color contact lenses. To this day, to tht best of my knowledge, these are still not for extended wear, as in the pop in and leave for in for weeks (30 days). OK, for those who are younger, will so understand where I am coming from. You find yourself in the morning with a hot guy from the bar from the night before. You went home with them with blue eyes, you can't take out the contacts, because then they will so know you have green. So you leave them in. Then you have to go to class, crash, then either go to work or back to the hottest party on campus. So the contacts stay in long much longer then they should. I ended up with a huge eye infection that ended me up in the ER, nearly lost my eye. Then the eye doctor actually said your days of wearing contacts are over. Of course, I blew him off. So....yes I admit I am stupid and you are correct. Did my mama call you???? She preaches this to me on a daily basis. Of course her being a retired Emergency Department nurse doesn't help, ugh.

I'm glad I didn't back Nude Dip up. I was so taken by the hype that I was really tempted, but his palettes are so large and last forever so I passed. Thank goodness bc it would have been pointless. I rarely use it anyway.

 

[ashievic]

Not for me. Not at all.

Not only unhealthy, but how would mascara even last that long? Mine all dry out within a matter of months and start to look terrible when applied.
Mascara is the only cosmetic product I can't keep around for very long at all bc it just dries out and won't work properly.

I have still moist, workable mascara from college. Yes, I know I am stupid, but the colors are so pretty.....

 

[ashievic]

I'm going to be totally honest... although I love the formula, I don't use mine that often either. I have other neutrals I reach for first.

Yes, exactly! Honestly, there are much better neutral palettes out there. I personally love and much prefer my original Naked palette, which is just one example. Nude Dip is lovely, but it's not what I expected it to be after all that hype.

I agree, the new Dior Revival palette for my skin tone is much better then Nude Dip. As well as the lipsticks. Twist of Fate on me is ugly orange, and Negligee is a yuck browny leaning toward orange. The same thing with duo for cheeks. Soft Core was the best of the two, and I used it maybe once. The other one was really orange on me.

It's just metallic shimmer overload for me. It takes a lot to work with, which is what I don't have time to do in the mornings. I really only have time on the weekends, but that's when I want to play with all the bright colors that aren't really ideal in a super conservative office setting.

My brother call me "disco ball" when I wear it.

 

[ashievic]

I dunno, I'm glad to have it and it's lovely, but it could have been better.

I'm fine not having a matte color. I actually really strongly dislike matte eyeshadow, but I know I'm alone on that.

Like you, I'm glad to have it. It's just not a go-to for me.

If my house was on fire, I would not run and grab it. The nail polish from Chanel in Malice, that I would run back into the house in flames to save.

You're not alone! For the longest time, I'd never ever wear matte shades. I really disliked them. I only use them as a transition shade or a crease shade now... and that's rarely! I love my satins, shimmers, glitters and sparkles!

One can never have too many sparkles!!!!

Prescription contacts are not irritable (unless your eyes are very very sensitive). I've worn contacts for 5 years, I could even sleep with mine but I was only doing it when I wasn't wearing makeup. I've had problems with them only a few times, when a glitter or some makeup particle has gotten between the lense and my eye - it's incredibly painful.

ah well these were 'fashion' contacts from china so its no surprise really that i found them irritable!
still, i dont envy you having to put them in and take them out - thats hard enough!
