    Ideas for creating a "swatch book"?

    Like many of us here, I have a ton of shadows and piggies/piggie samples. I was just thinking how great it would be if I had a "swatch book" of sorts, where there is a good swatch of each color right at my fingertips. This would help me tremendously in knowing exactly what I have to work with...

    For the Curly Haired!

    I just can't get over this product from Mizani's Masters Line: Moisturizing Silkening Liquid-Gel! "For natural looking curls and waves", it says on the bottle. I found this at an Ulta store, and I was hesitant to get it because it's pricey, IMO ($18/5 fl oz.). I'm so glad I did! Two pumps...

    Feline Kohl Power Lovers, get it NOW

    You knew it was coming but it seems like MAC held it around a little longer than the others or made a greater quantity of it than of the other Kohl Powers: Feline has been added to the Picks/Goodbyes page on the MAC website. Black Karat is there, also. I noticed that this page has been vastly...

    MAD Minerals - Equivalent Colors?

    Today's giveaway has me intrigued about the loose mineral foundation in this line. Have any of you tried these? I'm wondering which shades compare to which of the darker MAC colors.

    Eyelashes that won't curl!

    Since the Ask & Answered area is closed to new topics I didn't know where else to put this. Maybe it's common with we WoC? So, the thing is, I've got a few straight lashes that refuse to curl! How do I remedy this? I've even used different lash curlers, to no avail.

    I don't think I'm feeling the MCQUEEN collection

    How are other lovelies of color feeling about it thus far? I've not seen one color that I thought was pretty (at least for me and my tastes). Even the color descriptions posted in Janice's initial thread have me like . Let's me put more toward the Holiday Collections, so that's cool!

    Piercings and Granulomas

    I have a 12 week old tragus piercing that I love. I've wanted to get this piercing for a long time now but I am sad that I've apparently developed a granuloma on it. I've had it for a month now and I certainly hope that it will one day just dry up and GO AWAY. Anyone else have a granuloma...

    My Iman Report

    Well, I finally located a Walgreens (in another city, 45 minutes away from me) that carries Iman. I bought the following: Scorpion l/s, Jaguar l/s, Sheer Iced Tea l/s, White Gold e/s, and the eyebrow pencil in Blackest Brown. I love Iman's l/s colors, they are very pretty. My experience and...

    Help! Moth Brown Perplexes Me!

    Everyone seemed to rave about Moth Brown and when I heard about the re-release in Barbie I couldn't wait to get one. Well now that I have it, I can't quite figure out how to wear it. It's one complex color, that's for sure. I've not yet seen a hint of brown in it, but I've sure seen the gray...

    SpektraNetites often know more than MAC MAs!

    ...And I think this is a damned shame! I just called three different MAC locations (a Pro Store and two counters) with a question about the Zandra collection. All I got from *all* of them was a blank "uh... Zandra?" like response. Not one of them had heard of this collection. It would seem...

    Makeup with GOLD formal gown...

    I'll be attending a formal event this fall and will be wearing a true gold-colored gown (i.e., not yellowy looking, it'll be pure golden). As you can see, below, I'm NC43. Need eye and lip color recommendations. I do have a generous sample of Old Gold pigment that I would love to incorporate...

    Marc Jacobs "Rain" or "Grass"

    Anyone ever try either of these? I am always intrigued by/want to try rain, grass (and apple) types of scents, but no one in my area sells these and I don't want to just buy them blindly online somewhere and then hate them. Would like to hear some opinions if anyone has any.

    Iman Stick Foundation

    I read in a magazine the other day that Iman has teamed with Proctor and Gamble and is really kicking up the distribution of her cosmetics line, mainly through Walgreens stores. Anyway, I'm pretty intrigued about her stick foundation, which she claims beats the pants of any other foundation out...

    How do you apply your Studio Fix?

    If you use a brush, please specify which one. If you use "another method", please specify. (Edited to add: I guess I should have specified Studio Fix powder, for the purpose of this thread!)
