Does anyone have any ideas about how I could store my 20 or so MAC lipsticks such that I can find the color for which I'm looking fairly easily and quickly? At present, they are just sitting in a box in rows, looking for all the world like little nuclear warheads. Of course, the labels are on...

How do you all cope when MAC releases a delicious new collection, but there is absolutely no room in your budget to allow you to buy anything?

I'm new to Stila, and have noticed all the wonderful[to me, anyhow] brights that they offer among their lipsticks. Has anyone tried any of these? I'm especially looking at the shade "Lara." I need a good magenta.

I feel rather foolish even asking this, but I'm new to Stila, so here goes: How is "Stila" pronounced? Is it "Style-a," or "Still-a?"

Who or what would you say is/was the greatest influence on your look? Do you aim for super trendy, up-to-the-minute, or is ease and comfort your goal? Or are you still using black eyebrow pencil because that's what your mother taught you to use? Or have you devoted your life to trying to look...

I've been looking(online) at "Lightshade" eyeshadow, which is part of the Technacolor collection. Has anyone seen this shade in person, or tried it? I'm looking for a pale neutral highlight, and wonder if this could be it. However, an online MA described LS as "sandy beige with silver sparkles"...

What do you all do when the hottest look just doesn't work on you? Do you just pass it by, wear it anyhow, or try to find a flattering variation on it that *does* work for you? For example, neutral pinky-beige lips have been The Look this spring and summer, but that color makes me look like I...

Do you have a special "magic" product that you reach for when you just gotta look good, or when you're not feeling your best, or wearing a "challenging" color? My "go-to" is MAC "Lovemate" lipstick; it's ridiculously flattering, and just "wakes up" my whole face. I pair it with a touch of...

Have you ever consciously tried to imitate someone else's (be it a celebrity or someone you know) look? I never have, but I've heard other women admit to trying to look like soandso. In my day (I'm 42) the "icon" was Brooke Shields. Everyone wanted to look like her, so all these young women...

I like my new MAC 306 lip brush, but since I have full lips, the brush is considerably narrower than my lips. This causes the color to look a little thin and streaky when I'm using the brush to fill in, especially on my lower lip. How can I achieve a smoother, more opaque look?

I just bought a MAC 306 lip brush, and am wondering: Since I favor bold lipstick colors, I think that I probably need to clean my brush thoroughly when I go from, say, a red like "Russian Red" to a pink like "Impassioned." I don't have any MAC brush cleanser on hand right now. What will work in...

I just want to say that if you like a little drama in your look, MAC "Glam" lipstick is one to try! It's not a Viva Glam shade; it's hidden among the dozens of permanent "ordinary" shades that MAC offers. It's a matte, a very deep/bright rose-red that brightens my pale pink-ivory skin. The first...

Have you ever completely used up a MAC product? If so, which one(s)? I haven't, though I'm beginning to see a bit of pan on "Silver Ring" eyeshadow. Also, I got low enough on "Lustrewhite" to try to order more, discover it had been yanked, and order "Snowgirl" instead. How about you all?
