Why?! I know this is...

    OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE: Loretta West recommendations?

    Outrageous Fortune is an award winning NZ show that has resulted in UK and US equivalents (Honest & Scoundrels, respectively.) Anyway, since Loretta's glamorous make over mid season four (always my favourite character anyway), I've been loving her look. I know that they use MAC exclusively on...

    Paint Wheels from Bitch Slap! Cosmetics & others

    I have a customer wanting to purchase one of these, I hadn't heard of this brand before, so I checked out the site, gaped at the prices, then checked out what people were saying here about the quality - read the entire thread and saw that they are repackaged and other places they could be bought...

    Have any of you bought pigments/eye shadows from this seller? TradeMe - Listings from promo007 I'm guessing since MAC pigments and eyeshadows are so commonly faked that these may be, and I've never bought anything from them but there they are every week and the curiosity is KILLING me... I'm...

    Y'know I've been through the desert on a horse with no name...

    I have no idea what that has to do with make up, but that song is in my head! I feel like I've been away from Specktra for aaaages, been away visiting family, busy at uni, busy with my business and counselling - eep. Lots going on. But make up makes me happy, I always notice a massive upswing...

    Can anyone check these pigments for me?
