Yeah, I do have to layer mine. I use the BE Multitasking Bisque first, then the concealer, & then sometimes the Lift.

BUT...I have a new LOVE for concealer!!!!! -

Jay Manual for QVC - "Manual Override Conceal" This stuff is awesome IMO
It totally conceals, it's oil free & it wears like a dream!!!!!!!!
It's $19 & its in a pretty big tube.

I started with Russian Red lipglass and Red Enriched cremestick in summer 2006. I didn't get anything else until holiday 2007 (then I got family silver MES and metallic eyes palette).

Karin, when I was at the makeup show I actually got matched for foundation by Kevin Bennett (the head honcho over at mufe) he told me he prefers to get coverage from the mufe foundations as opposed to the concealers which he said he doesn't like. I get pretty great results from my hd foundation

I said no. not cool. lack of ethics. I won't ever stoop that low. It scared the crap out of me that he sees no problem with this.

Ah, I have makeup days like that...nothin goes on right, can't line my eyes etc.

I say, good for you on the ethics stand

I am a firm believer in it

Hi

It's actually spelled Saadeh, for some reason though, most ppl spell it with two d's instead of two a's the first time they write it. You're not alone

I actually got the Shadowy Lady quad today, I haven't tried it yet but it the colors look good on my arm (didn't have any of them before). I will do a look this weekend and report back

You go Hannah, that guy trying to pump you for info was not cool at all.

ouch!! that is steep. I should really stop complaining about the price of MAC in Canada.

 

[kobri]

Stay strong Hannah! So many people in Uni try to get by just riding coattails and I'm sorry, but they aren't getting my scholarship/internship/job etc by riding mine! I have had people in group projects not contribute and at the end when we have to do evaluations I am completely honest about how little they do. I also told once on someone cheating on an exam across the table from me. I think it kicked in after I got my scholarship because if other people are cheating to get ahead of me then I might not have gotten it.

 

[gigglegirl]

sorry Saadeh! Is it pronounced like Say-dee? Sha-day? I'm curious!

Thanks ladies, I thank you for your kind words! Ethics/integrity are uber important to me, and this just pisses me off.

 

[kobri]

Ethics should be important for an accountant, otherwise you wind up in an Enron situation.

Question: Is it wrong to apply for a promotion based only on the need to pay for upcoming collections? If so don't tell me until after I apply tomorrow!

I often wonder why my parents gave me such a hard name

Don't tell me. Even in euros the prices sound more reasonable than US$47 for e/s and lippies. I only bought my Amber Lights here. All my MAC stuff were bought by someone else (I give people lists), but it's only when people can do it, are going abroad. It's annoying.

MAC stores here are always empty and they only sell stuff for really rich people. Not fair.

Not only MAC, all the high end brands, actually. 70 bucks for a Lancome mascara?

 

[purrtykitty]

Hannah, you're awesome for standing your ground and giving that freeloader a piece of your mind. I never understood people that try to get by on other's hard work.

Adina - I'll have to try that route with the foundation instead of the concealor. If all else fails, I may have to hit QVC!

Mari - I cannot believe how expensive high end cosmetics are in Brazil. That's just insane.

Oh my god, Mari!!! That's crazy.
Buying one eyeshadow could pretty much cover the weekend makeover fee they have at the counters here in the US.


Saadeh, I definitely need Freshwater and Bronze. Those are up there on my list of MAC e/s I need. I'm looking towards getting more purples even though I know MAC purples aren't as amazing as they could be...

The next thing I'll purchase is a very deep, matte red l/s. If MAC doesn't have what I'm looking for, I'm thinking NARS will.
Suggestion?
Hopefully, once I get it, I'll do a really glam, vampy-red lip FOTD. Who knows?...

Does anyone like to just sit in front of the TV and watch the makeup specials on QVC with no intention of buying anything?! I do...

Hannah, you did the right thing. Not just because that guy sounds like a dork, but because at the end of the day, you have to feel comfortable with the decisions that you make. I think a stressful day like that calls for a little treat for yourself!

So ladies, i wanted to thank everyone for their nice messages, which I did read when I got in to work this morning. My little guy went into his first class without so much as a single tear. I on the other hand... I tried to hold back my tears and put a big smile on my face while I was with him, but as soon as I got in my car, I was a basket case! It was really much harder than I thought.

Sooo... on my lunch hour, I picked up Copperbeam p/m (beautiful) and Base Light paint, though I'm still not too sure on Base Light.

Base Light is pretty! I'm actually wearing it right now.

It's funny: tonight the boy and I were going to go out to grab some food, so I threw on concealer, powder, liner, mascara and gloss. Quick and easy, you know? Anyhow, he decided he didn't like it because I looked half done, and we weren't allowed to leave until I finished a full eye! What a goof!

Even the drugstore ones are expensive. The gov has a strict tax policy regarding imported 'disposable products', as they call it. It sucks, it's absurd! It doesn't help our own cosmetics industry either, 'cos most of them import materials, too. And it's a very limited industry anyway.

Good make up is a sign of status and luxury itens. Grrrrr. The worst is: I still pay almost 115 dollars for a Dior foundation. I always fall for my addiction.

 

[kobri]

Yay Nora, you made it through. I think that calls for some MAC for sure!

I have the new haircut touchy feelies. I just got 10 inches cut off an I can not stop flipping it around, such a relief
