My hair is all a partial highlight framing the face, and simply lifted a few shades to a dark, dark chocolate on the rest in the back.

Low lights woven in will always show off all of your hard work and make blonde shades stand out even more...as you know already!

I have wanted to try Dermablend but I have been worried that it would be too heavy. I might have to give it a try.

Another vote for Smashbox primer. I had both the regular photofinish and the light and they both work wonders. I know a lot of people like Laura Geller Spackle but I have never really liked that one to be honest.

Ohh this looks promising!!!

So what shade do you think I would get? I am a NW 30 now that I am tan, but that wont last, so I will be a NW 20 to 25.

Wow, your hair is beautiful! I have highlights but I swear they fade in a week. My hairdresser swears that bleach can't fade, but I swear they go back to my darker tones, and you know what, she uses Goldwell. I saw the post about that and its true.

I really have to try that primer out

. Maybe I can get a sample

. I hope that using a primer will help my foundation go on better and last longer

I have wanted to bleach my hair for the longest time, because it does not lighten AT ALL anymore. I do not have the money to do anything to my hair though...my hours have gone way, WAY down.

Katie do you usually get more hours during the holidays? That is coming around the corner so hopefully they will give you more hours then. Would you work full time if you could?

 

[coachkitten]

I was going to mention for all of you that like The Girls Next Door that there is a special new episode on this Monday at 10pm called "House Bunnies". I think that it is a special for that new House Bunny movie that is coming out. Just thought you all might want to know! I am excited for the new season to start in October!

My guess would be in the medium tones like myself

Maybe:

Caramel Beige
chroma 2 3/4

or,

Golden Beige
chroma 2 2/3

It's funny on the website they list this product under Foundations - although it certainly can be used as such.

I totally would work full-time if they gave me the hours-I would rather work than sit at home all day. I do get more hours during the holiday season however I will not be getting as much as last year apparently. I am going to pull out all the stops to ensure I am getting 40+ hours from Thanksgiving-on. I know that during the holiday, most of the people hired early on do not stick around. Probably many of the people will go around trying to find other jobs. It will be very interesting since it'll be the first holiday with this particular manager and she does things differently-as in hiring people for specific areas of the store. I was trained on EVERYTHING. It was nice because it helped me become the top associate at the store, as I am an all-around. I can work in the front half, in the middle, but they have me on registers the most because I am the best at it in the store.

Yaaaaay.
I did my nails tonight.
They are now a gorgeous plummy dark burgundy.
I love you girls. Of course I don't know where to pick up any OPIs, so I just got some cheap Maybelline and painted my nails. In a yogurt shop, no less!

Too early for fall, but I LOVE how these dark vampy colors look against my skin! Maybe I should give So Scarlet a chance...

And I've been rocking the fuchsia lipglasses lately! They go so well with ANY eye I realized. Well, not really greens or teals, but they've been looking great with purple eyes (I used Nocturnelle the other day) and with pink eyes! I used Sunset B. over Canton Candy and it's the most GORGEOUS combo ever and highlighted with Solar White. I didn't want to go over the top pink, so I made my cheeks peach with Nuance.

And then.. Love Rules lipglass from A-mei, and I had a pretty summery look.

 

[KikiB]

I love Canton Candy under Sunset B. but with Fuschia in the crease and then Royal Flush as lower liner, with a bit of Golden Lemon. Solar White as highlight too.

I am into my hot pink nails...I am a creature of habit. If I get motivated I will do my fingernails in the new OPI that I got.

 

[darkishstar]

Wow! That sounds like a great bright look! I would like to try that one day when I have the nerve.

I like hot pink nails on my toes.

Though right now they are a frosty ocean blue, but my nails are plum burgundy! I find it so funny.

 

[KikiB]

Well how I do it is this way:

First, do Canton Candy on the lids. Then do Solar White from the crease to the brow. Lay down your Sunset B., since it takes a few coats to get it right. I usually use a 275. Then I use the 217, or a cheapy Lancome brush from a long time ago, to put some of the Fuschia in the crease and then the outer third. I use a 212 (but you can use a 208, 209, 210, or whatever liner brush) to do Royal Flush as a lower liner. Then I take a little brush, like a 219, and do the inner corners with Golden Lemon. I blend the Fuschia in at the end using my 217, and then I might take a little Helium and do it right under the brow. And you know what? It isn't that bright.

Oh yeah, I use UD Zero on my waterline. Shadow or liner, it does not matter. The shadow I find actually lasts longer.

hey rachel, katie, nora, tameva etc for all your discussions on foundations.

I've tried several of mac and haven't had too much issues yet in terms of breaking out. i have select liquid now to try so we'll see. not a fan of studio fix fluid as it makes me look tan if i'm not careful with how i put it on. i'm light/pale/nw15 in studio stick which matches pretty well but i guess i'm too pale.

i think next time i'm on the hunt for more foundation ill check out the clinique counter.

i just find this so disheartening, as while i love experimenting and buying all different types of mascara, eyeshadow, lipstuff, I find it EXTREMELY aggravating to not have a fantastic foundation to have a base! grrr. I wish I lived in the USA....some of these exchange rate prices are absolutely ridonculous, like I'd like to try some MUFE but the prices *gasp*.

oh well itll be a couple months i guess before i need more new foundation. but i'm making a list with all your suggestions my fellow bimbos and will start to give them a try!

i used to think i could skip CoC....but now my list $ wise is over 120 without taxes.

 

[KikiB]

I am lucky in that I don't have to worry about foundation, as I have not worn it in over a year and a half, but whenever I did wear it it was a Covergirl powder one. I just use MSF and blush and it makes me look perfected.

I actually really like MAC Select Spf, but I think the sunscreen in that one was the culprit for my breaking out. I used it while I was pregnant with no issues, but my skin was crystal clear while I was preggies!

I may have to have a look at Clinique as well once my NARS runs low, because as you may know, NARS fndt here in Canada runs well over $50

I know that my acne is partly hormonal, so no matter what I use, I will still break out.

I'm considering paying some big $ for some photo light therapy or something or rather to see if that might help my horribly angry chin. I - HATE - ADULT - ACNE!!!! But hey, putting things into perspective, it's only acne and nothing really horrible.

What does your CoC list look like? I'm holding steady right now with Bing mattene, Silverstruck n/p, the pink lipstick (cannot remember the name), the Spiced Chocolate quad and maybe Cherry Blossom l/g. Two of the lippies will be B2M though and as already mentioned, the quad will be compliments of DH as per our agreement after he pissed me off a month or so ago, lol!

Ladies, I still have not received a paycheque! I was supposed to get my first cheque last week, but the slackers at payroll messed up, so they'll be issuing it to me along with our regular cheque this Thursday, thankfully all in time for CoC!!! I would've been screwed otherwise!!!

 

[KikiB]

Don't you hate when somebody screws it up? I have to make sure to let my manager know that on Monday when our systems were down I didn't get ANY lunch, because if she did clock me out for one I will not be a happy camper. That would be working for free for a half hour-which is pretty much most of the cost of my daily Frap.
