    Ellis Faas

    I didn't see a thread for this line, so I figured I'd start one. Who's tried this line? Thoughts on the colours? The pen packaging? I've recently picked up the E303 Eye light (rich golden bronze) and L202 ("dark blood"). The formula on both is incredible. Lasts foreverand applies very...

    What Mac collection was your biggest haul ever?

    Mac has really upped the number and the size of their limited collections in the next few years, which gives those of us with a serious makeup addiction a lot to buy. What collection did you buy the most from? Was it your favourite collection, or was it just that there were so many items...

    Revised Mac animal testing policy? :-((

    I know that this isn't a make-or-break issue for many cosmetic fans, but since it's something I take seriously and I know that others here do, I thought I'd share this piece from phyrra.net: http://www.phyrra.net/2012/03/heartbroken-by-mac.html A few months back, Mac's parent...

    Colour Atelier

    I saw this post on Temptalia earlier: http://www.temptalia.com/shu-uemura-color-atelier-collection-for-summer-2011 Coincidentally, I also stopped by my SU counter yesterday and got a look at the newly revamped collection. Apparently, some of the colours they have now are...

    NARS Skin care

    I noticed that NARS up here in Canada are doing a big push for their skin care line, something I wasn't even aware that they had. (It's very cleverly hidden on their web site under the giant title that says "Skin" along the top menu bar.) I just went to an event that they were having to...

    Fake Mac Liberty of London products

    Just found this on eBay: http://shop.ebay.com/beautifulinmyeyes28/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 The LOL lipsticks they have on offer are all regular, permanent Mac shades, none of which were repromoted with that collection. I feel sorry for the people who are bidding on them.

    Armani Discussion

    I figured I would start a thread for this, since I hadn't seen one and because I've recently become such a huge Armani fan. I'm adoring the new "Eyes to Kill" shadows with their mysterious cream/ powder texture, I've been really impressed with the Rouge d'Armani lipsticks I've tried...

    Learn From My Fail: Things about makeup we learned the hard way

    OK, we've all done this kind of thing- realising just a little too late that we made a horrible cosmetic mistake, or finding out why certain steps are really important. I don't know exactly when I figured it out, but when I was younger, I thought there was some kind of law against using more...

    Givenchy Spring 2011

    I'm wondering if people have seen this collection and what it looked like in person. I haven't found it in town yet (which doesn't mean I've stopped looking), but the promo images and the images in reviews look delicious. I'm particularly drawn to the "Candide Tangerine" lipstick, although I'm...

    A few new faces

    I've had a lot of time on my hands lately, so I've been playing around with different looks, using new products and old, trying to master a few different techniques. Here are a few things that I've come up with in the last couple of weeks. The base on all is the same: Yves Rocher...

    NARS makeover

    So NARS here has an event going on the first weekend in March where you can have your makeup done as long as you purchase any two products. Has anyone else here had a NARS artist do their makeup? Any feedback? (I know, it's different everywhere, but I think it would be fun to hear about...

    Cle de Peau

    So I'm curious for any ladies who've tried it... Is this brand worth the hype? Being a lipstick fiend, I'm especially interested in reviews of the Extra Rich Lipstick. Everything I've heard is that their products are mind-blowing, but I can't imagine anything justifying that price. So...

    NARS Foundations- recommendations and reactions

    Hey All, So I tried a couple of the NARS foundations on today and I was intrigued. I'd be curious to know how other people have found them (either the Sheer Glow or the matte version, which was what I tried). I tried on Gobi and Siberia... Siberia was probably a better match, but I think...

    A handful of looks with recent purchases [pic heavy]

    Here are a few things I've tried lately... Sort of all over the place, really. All products are Mac unless otherwise noted. My "base" is the same in all: Face: Prolongwear Foundation NC15 Prolongwear Concealer in NW20 Yves Rocher Base Preparatrice MSFN Light Prep &...

    Favourite All-time Mac Quad!

    OK, so Mac have been putting out quads forever and I thought it would be fun to find out people's favourites of all time. Personally, I find it REALLY hard to resist quads. I love the way they work together, the fact that I can just pack a couple of them and travel, knowing that I have...

    collection of recent looks including ivy and siahi

    I've had lots of time on my hands lately, so I've been playing around. I keep forgetting to get pictures of my more evening-type looks, so these are mostly for daytime. And yes, I know... eyebrows need grooming in virtually all. I keep letting that slip. #1- Siahi I wanted to do...

    Night out makeup

    I wore this out to have some drinks with friends on Friday and it worked pretty well. The one problem was that Dalliance was a bit too frosty, so I ended up blending almost entirely out- made the eye look too heavy. Face MAC Prolongwear foundation NC15 MAC Prolongwear concealer...

    New Year's looks

    Here's what I did for New Year's Eve. I guess since Fabulous Felines was my favourite collection of the year, I wanted to revisit it for my last look of the year. I was going to a party where it was going to be fairly dark, so the look didn't appear quite as dramatic in context. Eyes...

    Couple of new looks with Cham-Pale products

    Hadn't done any FOTDs lately, but I've been playing with my Cham-Pale stuff lately. Here's a couple of looks from this week (and yes, I know that the liner is gnarly on both, but I'm trying to get better): Eyes- Vanilla e/s as highlight AllRaces e/s on inner part of lid Vintage...
