I don't wear a lot of makeup, but I like playing with it and messing around with colours. I'm slowly trying to build up some kind of look I'm happy with that won't ruin my skin or cause me extra aggravation in the morning. This is attempt 1: Stuff used: Eyes: UDPP, Brown Down...

Hi, I know there are a few MAC Pro stores in the UK, but the problem is, I'm not a makeup artist so I'm not going to be able to purchase from MAC Pro. I need two 15 slot pro pans so I can depot around 30 eyeshadows - and hopefully get some B2M lippies in the process! There are some eBayers in...

So I just saw this: It's selling in the UK for £7.50 at Beauty Naturals. Anybody used it? I didn't see an entry for it on Makeupalley. "Five softly shimmering, luminous shades of cream, warm beige, golds and bronze. Shimmer Strips can be swept together for an all over glow, or used...

I'm home sick today, so instead of working on research or my thesis I did this tutorial. I'm not a professional nail technician of any kind whatsoever. But this is how I do my nails when I want a French Manicure. My nails are strong so I cannot vouch for the effectiveness of the...

Okay so this is my first tutorial and also the first time I've shown my face on Specktra. I tend to post in the Deep Thoughts subforum and randomly post. Be gentle - I'm not particularly wonderful with makeup, nor do I claim to be. This tutorial is for this look: Grumpy Ratty! Aww, I'm...

This totally made my day! http://www.reuters.com/article/topNe...00080620071012

Many of you may have seen this site already, but I saw it recently for the first time and thought it was great! I thought I'd post this because maybe others like me hadn't yet seen it. So many types/brands of makeup I didn't know about and a lot that is already in my stash. It's a great...

I saw this website and thought it was interesting: http://www.iwanexstudio.com/ If you go to the 'portfolio' on the page, there are a lot of pictures of celebrities that give a before-retouching / after-retouching glimpse of reality. It made me smile. Also, I was really amused how Halle...

Hi, sorry for a newbie-style question there, but I'm curious as to how Cocomotion compares with Coco Beach. I like Coco Beach but it's hard to find, so I wanted to know if Cocomotion is a good close enough. I've looked through swatches but it's hard to tell... Thanks!

I was disappointed by C Shock, and no matter how much I wanted to love Moonbathe, very few of the products actually worked well with my skintone and style. And the Barbie collection was really boring to me. So I thought I'd ask others - when and what was the last collection you really totally...

We don't get "The View" broadcast in the UK, but I grew up in the USA so I tend to follow US blogs on entertainment in America. So um, can anyone explain to me why Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth Hasselbeck are acting like fools on "The View"? I just saw this huge video and went, "Eh?" This is...

Right, so basically, I am looking for some advice on eyemakeup in particular. I've pretty much resolved on a nude lip and very, very little cheek colour, in favour of using one of a pair of these bad girls: My costume is not quite put together yet so I can't give a picture, but basically...

So I may be one of the only girls in this camp, but basically, in a nutshell, I don't think I like blush. (This may be because I've never found the right one for me, but I'm going to skip past that for a second to make a case for why I don't like it.) I rarely use makeup, so I think I'm just...

Hi, I saw these on eBay and I'm wondering if anyone's used this seller, samphora-face-treat, and whether the colours she's selling look correct to those with these pigments. (I'm aware of the problems in identifying colours on a monitor, but I wanted to see if anyone could see anything hugely...

Hey ladies! I try to go to the gym 3 times every week, but I usually manage twice weekly. My training is 30% weights, 70% cardio. That being said, this is week 3 of my new exercise regime, so I'm still working out the kinks of incorporating the gym into my life comfortably. A big kink I'm...

Who are your favourites for UK eBay sellers? The thread for 'favourite eBay sellers' doesn't include many UK ones, so I thought I'd ask here and start a new thread.... if the Moderator(s) want to merge this with the other thread, that's fine by me! GOOD UK sellers I've used: katya_127...

I'm curious: does anyone know if designercosmetics2007 on eBay is selling authentic MAC eyeshadows? They have a ton of it and it's selling for very little. Link: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZd...ics2007QQhtZ-1

I wanted to purchase a few items from exquisite.cosmetics on eBay (his/her online shop is called: M.A.C-A-LICIOUS Cosmetics) Has anyone bought from this seller before, and was it a good experience?

I reproduced this post from another thread (here: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=70903) because I wanted to get other opinions from people who may not read the swoosh_uk thread. The other 11 pigments I have are not from swoosh_uk. They're all from sellsforlessonebay, who is not a routine...
