    The endless quest for Metal Rock dupes/Peackocky's Spectacle of Yourself

    Shame on me for sitting at work pondering this, but-- Does anyone have both items to compare? I was thinking maybe they're dupes. I don't have MR, but I have SoY. Anybody willing/able to investigate?

    First real haul of the year, possibly the last...

    ...until my summer vacay in Orlando when I hit the pro store! I went to MAC and Ulta this weekend, and in hindsight, I could probably should have waited til today- I forgot about Spring Forecast! OTOH, I can live without most of it, except Vintge Grape blush. Maybe someone'll be so kind as to...

    those of you above NC/NW 55, what are you using for foundation?

    In another thread, some of us were discussing how we're the only ones into makeup and such in our families. That's definitely who I am in my family, but my other family members don't HATE makeup. I just dawned on me today that the reason hardly any of them don't bother with much other than a...

    Got a problem with a company? Write them. Seriously

    Why? Because if they really do care about their customers, they will listen. A few years ago, I was near pulling out my hair ( again, long story) because I could not find my favorite bar "soap", Olay's sensitive skin bar. When I couln't find it anywhere, I contacted Proctor and Gamble to see...

    Tips on fixing/using wonky cosmetics

    Sorry mods, I searched and I couldn't quite find a thread that focused on this topic. If one exists, please point me to it or merge, thanks! So I decided that this could be where regardless of brand, we can help each other find ways to work with products that don't work for us like they used...

LOL I got: 3N lipglass, Love Nectar lustreglass, and Optical lustreglass (shoot, I realized later I could've have added that to my swap with Tish but...

    A Happy Accident!

    So, I was trying to wear Inter-View today, and it just would not do what I wanted it to...it looked like I had a black eye. So I made lemonade outta the situation. Even though y'all know how lazy I am, and as a result of that laziness, I usually have a three eyeshadow or less rule- I broke out...

    Barack Obama on Soul Train!

    YouTube - Barack Obama Dances on Soul Train Okay, not really, but the guy at 3:25 does resemble him and have the same sort of swagger. And I resent dude at 2:55, and his bulge. LMAO.

    I'm Lazy Everyday/Very Little Makeup Open Call

    So, as stated in my "I Have a Confession" thread, I revealed that although I love makeup and that sorta thing, I really don't have it in me to go make the effort of doing a full face. I mean, I don't even like wearing foundation! I realize that I'm in the minority, but the thing all of us here...

    I have a confession to make...

    I love makeup. LOVE. IT. That's obvious, or else I wouldn't be here, yeah? My confession is that although I love makeup and playing with it, I cannot bring myself to wear it more than 4 days out of the week. Actually, that's an extreme. It's more like the weekend, and maybe one day out of the...

    Schizophrenic Crease/ Miles between lid and browbone

    I figured I'd try to kill two birds with one stone. So...like a few Asian Specktrettes, I have a crease which has it's " now you see it, now you don't" moments which is a) weird, because I'm Black, LOL and b) annoying as hell when when I'm trying to apply shadow, and my crease has disappeared...

    Pronounce PLUMAGE

    As long as I've ever known the word, I've known it to be pronounced ploo-mij. This MAC shadow must be selling really well, but the way, because this is the 3rd time I've had to ask for it over the past 2 months (finally got it today ), and each and every MAC MA has looked at me funny, then...

    I don't usually do this, but... (Pic Heavy!)

    I don't "haul" like many of you guys do; I typically just buy an item or two when I need it or whenever I get around to it. I'm hardly ever excited enough about an entire collection to snap up more than one item from it, either. But this past week, I've been snapping up things online and in...

    Okay, I know this video is mad old, but for some reason I got a hankering to watch it repeatedly this week. This is the only video of her where she isn't overdone or just a hot mess, LOL.I think I may already have what I need to pull this look off, for the most part, but I wanted your...
