    AVANT GOLD vs HYPER REAL PRESSED POWDER what's the difference?

    Hiyall, Since I NEVER get to see MAC at all before I order it, I wondered if anyone here could compare Avant Gold with Hyper Real Pressed Powder. It sounds like HRPP would be more glowy and pretty, but it might also be really shiny and not that nice. However, is Avant Gold really matte, or is...

    Anyone try the 184 brush from Avante Gold yet?

    I am wondering if the 184 brush is a good one to add to my case- 187 is such a fabulous brush, I wondered if 184 is just as valuable. Anyone out there have any input on it? I want to know exactly what to do with it and if is it unique enough to make sure to have. I live nowhere near a MAC...

    HELP!!! What Do I Charge for Kiosk as a Freelancer?

    45 Assorted FOTDs On The Head Of A Pin :D

    I was just updating my slideshow for another site that asks for a photo of yourself, but since I look different every day, I started the tradition of a slideshow instead of photo. I have been writing on this other site for about 6 years now, so I update the slideshow from time to time with...

    Okay, so here is my fire and ice FOTD. I am not sure I like Azreal Blue- it does not seem to stay on well like all of the other pigments. Plus it looks like the first blue eyeshadow that I got in 7th grade from Cover Girl. Anyway, here is the breakdown of my makeup. Also, for some reason...

    I Don't Want To Go To Mum's House FOTD

    Well it was hard to do, I did not want to go to my mums house with this hair because I knew that she did not like it, but I finally did it.
