Yep, it has been hot here, we are only just coming out of out first heatwave for the summer.

Thankfully a cool change came in today as I wouldnt be able to cope with 41 degrees all day while I'm packing! It's actually a half decent temperature at the moment.

I would be happy in summer if it was around 35 degrees celcius, but days of 45-46 degrees celcius is just ridiculous!

We have all winter make up coming out doesn't that affect your buying, do you pack it away til it is the right season?

 

[MrsMay]

^^ nope, doesnt affect my buying at all!!

Last year I was wearing CoC colours in spring lol...

I find that they can always be worn but sometimes they just need a little adaptation

Hello bimbos!
Enjoy your vacation Moxy and hooray new MAC Anvika!

Art Deco is a german brand but sold in other countries too.

I adore their eyeshadow base but something I thought would never happen happened yesterday. My eyeshadows creased!

I was wearing the base as usual but I am not sure if it was the bit of MSF natural over it or the Electro Sky Paintpot that I used for the first time that did something with the base so that my e/s creased!

I never had a problem before and my eyelids are super oily and the e/s stayed like fresh applied all day before! It can only be the the Electro Sky Paintpot.

I always have to use an eyeshadow base because Paints or Paintpots as a base alone don't work for me.

This makes me sad. Electro Sky is so gorgeous!

 

[Yagmur]

I use my Artdeco Eyeshadow Base first, then I put Powder on it and last I use my e/s, f/l or pigments. That's great, my e/s has never creased

 

[jenntoz]

Good morning Bimbos

We'll be headed out later so I can hopefully go play with some HK at my Nordstrom & decide for sure what I want(and hopefully get my lovely hubby to pre sale it for me

)

Welcome back Nora!

Moxy have a great trip!

My mom's cat shows her displeasure about her travels by throwing up in or on her suitcase...nice kitty

Good morning Jenn!

Sorry, I don't know, how to help you

 

[Heiaken]

Janette, that's sad :/ I have very oily lids and paint pots just don't hold my e/s in place. Have you tried UDPP, that's supposed to be very good too.

I wish there was a universal chart or something to gauge what works on who, but I guess everybody's body chemistry is different, even if they both have oily lids. Because mine are fine with Paint Pots and end up tearing and running with Paints. I don't know if I want to get into UDPP but I would like to use my Paints, cause I have all the yummy ones.

 

[Heiaken]

When I firts started using Painterly as a e/s primer it worked really well but after a few month of using it after about 5hours my e/s started to crease in the inner corner. Then I switched to Too Faced Shadow Insurance, the same things. Next I'm going to try the newly formulated Lumene e/s base that supposed to a lot better than the older one.

Hey girls, just popping my head in! I have been soo busy with my new puppy. I am going insane!

It is.

My ritual always is a e/s base first, sometimes powder and then a Paint, Paintpot or Shadestick and then e/s and I never had any problems with creasing before.

I have UDPP and the Art Deco Eyeshadow Base and UDPP are very similar.
Is it possible that the formula of the Electro Sky p/p and the Art Deco Base just don't work well together? My skin didn't change so I have no other explanation for it.

You have all the yummy ones like you have all the pretty ones or like you have them all?

*sneaks into your traincase and cuddles the Paints*

I had no idea that some things just can stop to work!

I hope this didn't happened to me because even on my oiliest days when my foundation lost the battle against my skin after maybe two to three hours my eyes were always still perfect.

I think it has to be that. A formula of a product also depends on the colour and I think blue as usually a tricky one. Blue pigment is something that causes the most allergic reactions to people out of any pigments so I think it's just the that the chemistry of your skin+art deco+electro sky just doesn't work.

That can sometimes happen. For me it's just mostly that some days the Painterly p/p keeps my e/s from not creasing and then some days it still creases. Usually it's in the inner corner of my eyes.

Oh, and I have very oily lids too. I'd like to try the Art Deco base someday but it's not really readily available here. You can get it but I just haven't found a source that would be conviniet to me.

These are bad news.

I was so happy about this Paintpot but I don't know how I can make it work. I will give it another try the next time with UDPP or more of the Artdeco Base. It has to work, it is so pretty under blue e/s.

Luckily the Artdeco Base is easily available here and cheap enough too. Is it expensive in Finland or would you have to buy it in an international online-store?

 

[Heiaken]

There's one finnish online cosmetics shop that sells it for 11€ (plus delivery charges) and then I think some smaller beauty salons/cosmetologist sell this brand too but you can't get it in department stores for some reason. It's not really expensice based on the online store, just not as easy to get like other brands.
