    Time logged in?

    Sorry if this is a duplicate post, I used advance search and didn't see any topics come up. I notice that I have to log in again when I'm on this site. Is there some kind of time limit before users have to log in again? I didn't see any setting in my control panel to increase time. Is this a...

    Whoohoo, just got my Royal Assets eye palettes!

    I know I'm very late to the game, but one of the reasons I was so excited about discovering MAC were the Royal Assets eyeshadow palettes. By the time I found out about them, they were already sold out so I bought them on ebay for a little less than retail. I couldn't believe that some ebay...

    NC30 turned orange - other shades I should try?

    Hi ladies, I posted this question in the MAC Chat forum but tacked it onto an existing thread and haven't gotten any answers. Hoping someone will have some suggestions for me. During my first MAC makeover, the MA matched me with NC30 Mineralize Satinfinish. It looked too dark but under the...

    Long Time MAC users -has quality declined since being taken over by EL?

    I've heard from a couple of longtime MAC users who claim the quality of MAC has declined since being taken over by the huge conglomerate that is EL. What is your opinion of this? I'm too new to MAC to tell... I do find the trend that every cosmetic under the sun is now under either the Loreal...

    Purchased Bare Canvas last weekend and have experimented with several different methods to apply it as a base underneath shadows; no matter whether I use fingertips, brush, sponge I hate the texture of this! Looks splotchy, dry and yech I hate this stuff! Any recommendations for a powder or...

    Zitbuster Serum with EO's

    This recipe is not my own; I obtained it from another skincare and beauty forum. I've been using this mixture for 2 months now and really like it; I've also added it to my silk and pearl paste primer to keep oilies at bay. If you have sensitive skin, this may not work for you; some EO's can...

    LONG! Skincare routine and how I cleared oily/acne prone w/blackheads to oily/combo

    A couple of lovely ladies asked for more details about my skincare routine in the MAC Chat forum; I thought this forum devoted to skincare would be a more appropriate place to post on this subject. I'm early 40's and currently have oily/combo skin, enlarged pores, no blackheads and very, very...

    DuWop - Green Eyes, Purple Eyes - Thumbs Down!

    I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for these eyeshadow palettes. Instead of paying $32 USD at Sephora, I only had to pay $13 USD at Nordstrom's Rack [love love that store!] but I digress. The disadvantage of NOT buying these eyeshadows at Sephora is that I can't take them back. The packaging...
